NAHHHH fuck it. Lets go ham.

SKRCs cost half the current stamina!!!!@~@~!
That actually would be friggin godlike. Taking into consideration that A-List was pretty much built all around runcancels it wouldnt actually be to retarded to give him that.
But whatever, i still think he is ok the way he is. Sure not top tier (aka braindead 50/50 all day) but a fun and well rounded character.
 
I agree that Cage is a fun and well rounded character, but not all top tier or high-mid tier char are braindead (I think Dvorah, Shinnok, Kung Lao are still fun to play)
And Shinnok, Kitana, Mileena, Liu Kang have got buffed (I know Liu and Shin have just been nerfed recently but Bone Shaper Shin and FF Liu are still very good).
I think JC deserves to be buffed to fight Quan Chi, Cassie, Shinnok, etc

Quan and Shinnok I'll give you, but I'm not totally sure Cassie is a bad MU for JC. Well...SDJC anyway. Not sure about A List

anybody have trouble doing two a list skrc online.im tryimg too get it but its super hard
Its not, you might be doing F,F,Block to cancel, it should be F,F+Block, otherwise it will dash-runcancel and lose a bit more stamina, in that case the second cancel dont come out!

I sincerely would like an f4 buff though all jokes aside. The move was so good in mk9 and I hate seeing it suck so bad in this game.

Also cage jip game is on TILT right now, in a game where jumping is incredibly stupid he can't jump lol.

If you have troubles with double run cancels, try to do a dash cancel combo like f3xxSKRC, b34SKDC, f4, f24, d1, f3nut.
It looks great, does a lot of damage, and requires less stamina. Not so easy, but it might help

F4 and Enhanced Flipkick buffs would be amazing.

The only other changes aside from the obligatory fixes (looking at you 114) I'd ask are for 113 not to be so freaking negative outside of A List (you can poke him out of any attempted cancel that is not Enhanced Shadow Kick/Nut Punch or just use armor and lock away all his options while also punishing him), reduced start on SD Forceballs and when enhanced will jail.

Can't really say much for Fisticuffs as I don't really play the variation but undue that ridiculous nerf, that was unnecessary for all the weaknesses that comes with using the cuffs.

If we don't receive any buffs tho I'm cool with that, just no nerfs plz.

F4 buff would bevery interesting. Cage is limited in many aspects. At least give him the ability to anti-air decently...
And come on nrs, bring back the old speedbag, or something similar. 11 frame startup is ridiculous. And with the -3 on block, even with a bad reaction one can poke out of it. Please, make it -1. At least -2.

So mb is just for hit confirms? Because i use it combos. Also is anyone waiting on buffs like a one button low or better frames on d4 (speed hit recover) ?

The delay mb nutpunch is used for hit-confirming. You can also catch opponents trying to punish a blocked regular nutpunch with it and it should make them hesitate to punish a nutpunch later on.

Also, a fully charged nutpunch does 4.75% chip damage, the mb option adding ~1.6%, so if you're feeling ballsy, you could use it for that.

And no, those aren't the buffs I'm waiting for. NRS will never give Johnny a low-starter in a patch, and d4 is already one of his best tools. If anything, they would make d3 slightly faster to differentiate it in purpose to d4.

Ok thanks. I would want d4 faster because its his main poke or mabey make it less negative on block.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
Nightwolf had a safe shoulder in mk9.

So either do SK safe and a high, or make it mid and unsafe.
