Question - Flame Fists 2in1 cancel not work against Johnny?

[LASD]

Do any of you guys notice that when you are playing Cage, the 2in1 specials on block do not work? At first I thought it was an online thing, but this also happens to me when I tested it out in training mode. Johnny is the only character where my 2in1 special does not come out. It doesn't matter if I try activating flame fist, or do a fireball. If Johnny blocks the windmill punch, I can't cancel it into another special. Again, I haven't noticed it against any other characters but Johnny, anyone else having this issue, or is it just me?

This works in your favour as when it whiffs you are super plus

 

[Phosferrax]

It's because he can make the last hit whiff by crouch blocking. Like fire breather said though, Liu Kang is at + frames when that happens so it doesn't really matter.

those two explained it all.... it shoud be slightly altered so johnny isnt at advantage... but honestly. its a matchup thing so ill live with it.

 

[LASD]

Ahh I thought they fixed that from the last patch. Thanks everyone

 

[Barrogh]

Didn't know that. Guess it's useful to know so that you can adjust.

Just another way that JC gets hurts by them whiffs

Hm, but doesn't that mean JC gets guaranteed armor when crouch blocking windmill?

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Liu Kang is plus ~5 if that last hit whiffs. His B1 then can break all Johnny's armor. Which means he can repeat windmill again. Back dash works against B12 but not against F44
Windmill punch used to whiff on Kitana too, but the last match I play it doesn't whiff anymore.

 

[Barrogh]

Hm, allright then. I must admit that my supposition was a brainfart of epic proportions.

I fought my friend Johnny Cage the other day and I thought my it was me messing up on my 2in1 cancel. At least I know there is a way to adjust although I'm not to happy about this.
