Are there any players out there who are playing A-list johnny cage well? I am really enjoying playing as him, and I'd like to see what they are doing.
My brain knows how to win with him, my hands don't.
What you wanna be doing is constant pressure, A list is at it's best if you never leave close/mid range. His knee is how you close the gap from mid to close, and it can be made safe by a dash cancel.
A List is not about high damage combos, it's about never letting your opponent breathe, try to end your combos with balls or flips or if you're in the corner, shadow kicks, these moves keep the opponent close. Nut punch sucks as an ender because it doesn't knock down and is hard to time right and because there's no i-frames in this game, cage excels at keeping pressure on the opponents wakeup, with tools such as his amazingly quick overhead that leads to a string that's safe on block, and his nasty fast low kicks and his throw.
There's not much stuff A List does that's unsafe when he's played properly, you have to whiff entirely to be punished the hardest.
