Johnny Cage 3rd tournament variation

[Error404]

I'm more interested in just how much yoy can do with these new forceballs. Though I 'm away until the end of the week.

 

[DrFolmer]

Remember when Jax was top 3 because d1 shenanigans? I see a pattern boys

No one talks about Jax anymore lul

My initial thoughts are that the forceballs are used for keepaway, you use rising star on block to be safe like Cassie's glow kick, and you just shimmy the fuck outta them. I like this variation a lot. Actually he plays a lot like DS Cassie now.

Forceballs biggest utility is combo extensions in the corner. He can get close to 40% in the corner for 2 bars now.
Will upload the combo videos soon.

YESSSSSSSSSS

476 to be exact and this probably isn't even optimal.

Sonic is so hard to watch. Kid can be so spazzy.

He did explain why he thinks Outtake is so good though. He can be super lame. That forceball is no joke at full screen. He did also mention that it forces opponents to come in and "play footsies against sonic fox"...Yes he referred to himself in the third person. Outtake may actually compliment Cage's core game play. Time will tell.

34xx FBC 34xx Ex NP > 2 > 34xx Ex FBs > 2 > 121xxDP

 

[thlityoursloat]

Mine is swaggier tho.

I definitely think 121 is the go to launcher in the corner now.

 

[Error404]

You can do this with straight forceball too.

Aren't most his strings safe and hit comfortable anyway? So why use the bar to make strings safe like cassie does?

Yeah I wanna say f344, 244, and b34 are like -2

 

[thlityoursloat]

It's inconsistent, has more gravity and doesn't allow another extension for a bar. It's better in this variation.

 

[Tundra81]

B34 is -7, still safe though.

true that, still a plus.

 

[Rodney Quillz]

I’m optimistic about this variation you guys, it made a man so mad he snitched on me to Microsoft about it.

 

[Error404]

Is low forceball ex plus from jump distance? Does it even land?

 

[Rodney Quillz]

I know I did a test on standing Shao Kahn after f344 and it was +6 so it probably is if it will land.

 

[colby4898]

true that, still a plus.

I guess only if you want that extra chip damage.

BITCH

C'MERE BITCH

BITCH

WATCH THE READ, WATCH THE READ, WATCH THE READ, WATCH THE READ

C'MERE BITCH

FUCK YOU BITCH


I love watching him play, but you're so right. It's a fucking chore watching his stream. It always seems like whoever he is playing is so sick of his nonstop chatter, but just deals with it because they're getting sets with the best NRS player in the world and leveling up. The handle said Scar last night, but it sounded just like DJT on the mic, but either way....they seemed done.

The pushback sets up much more effective shimmy situations as opposed to the standard strings. Some characters (Cassie for instance) can basically b2 check (the advancing elbow) every time. This is most likely not the case with amp uppercut

I could see variation 3 taking the footsie aspect to the next level. Plus, having d1 shenanigans is cancer. Who the fk likes Jax d1 bf2 amp or Black Adam's d1 lightning. AND OMG FUCKING SUPERGIRL D1 FREEZE
