Post Johnny Cage Kombos here!

Anyone know what the optimal hype combos for non-Kano Kameos are or no Kameo? Feel like every video is literally Kano Kameo lol.

 

[BKV2]

I’m not even gonna bitch about nutpunch costing 2 bars though but I’d love a QOL change with practice mode where we can set hype to 100 already

I’m finding the timing weird doing 214 after the dash like it doesn’t come out

 

[Followthepeachy]

Some easy combos to get started

Basic idea is opener into F34,Dash,Ender~SK/RS/NP

Opener 212 / F124 / 214~RS into F34 Easy ender is F12
Harder ender is F32 but more damage
SK= Shadow Kick -BF4
RS= Rising Star -DB3
NP= Nut Punch -BD1

METERLESS/KAMEOLESS
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~SK =292
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~RS =286
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~NP =286

Ender (F32) is a little harder to hit
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F32~SK =304
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F32~RS =298
212,Dash,F34,Dash,F32~NP =298

(F32 Ender does not hit on these)
F124,Dash,F124,Dash,F12~SK =269
F124,Dash,F124,Dash,F12~RS =265
F124,Dash,F124,Dash,F12~NP =265

F124,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~SK =268
F124,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~RS =263
F124,Dash,F34,Dash,F12~NP =263

F34,F321~SK =265

1 Bar

1 Bar (easy) I omit the J2 to make the F34 connect easier
214~EXDB3,F34,Dash,F12~SK =325
214~EXDB3,F34,Dash,F12~RS =320
214~EXDB3,F34,Dash,F12~NP =320

214~EXDB3,F34,Dash,F32~SK =337
(F32 harder to land)

(harder for me)
214~EXDB3,J2, F34,Dash,F12~SK =353
214~EXDB3,J2, F34,Dash,F32~SK =364
(F32 harder to land)

Kameo ?

Corner ??

Lads, lads, lads.
I've been waiting for someone to post OPTIMAL DAMAGE combos and I ain't seen them yet.

Here's the best Bread and Butters I can lab myself

Meterless
212, JI2, 212, F12xxBF4 = 321 dmg
F124, dash, B3, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 279 dmg
F4, dash, B3, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 272 dmg
F34, B3, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 309 dmg
B3, dash, B3, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 252 dmg
B2(hold), dash, B3, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 312 dmg

1 Bar
214xxDB3 EX, J2, dash, 212, dash, F12xxBF4 = 353 dmg
This combo works with any string that leaves them standing before the DB3 EX. Use it with what ever string you like. F32, F12, 21, 11, whatever man go nuts.
Probably works if combined with kameos that leave standing like Tsarena's boomerang projectiles.

Corner, Meterless
212, 4, 212, 214xxBF4 = 360 dmg
This timing is kinda rough, so use B3 instead of 4 if you only wanna do 325 dmg.
F124, B3, B3, 212, 214xxBF4 = 303 dmg
F34, B3, B3, 212, 214xxBF4= 339 dmg
F4, B3, B3, 212, 214xxBF4 = 304 dmg
B2(hold, B3, B3, 212, 213xxBF4 = 344 dmg
B3, 4, 212, 214xxBF4 = 314 dmg

Corner, 1 Bar (I honestly don't have much for this. Give me some more pls thx)
214xxDB3 EX, J3, 1, 212, 214xxBF4 = 376 dmg

Kameos
I got nothin', chief. I haven't used much anybody besides my boy Kano. If nutpunch didn't cost TWO BARS, I'd recommend him, but idk.

214xxBD1 EX, B Kameo, JI2, 212, JI2, 212, F12xxBF4 = 393 dmg
Not worth two bars. The best time for this is to juuuust squeeze out a win at the end of a round by adding it onto the END of a combo. Such as:
212, JI2, 212, F12xxBD3 EX, B Kameo, JI2, F34, F3xxBF4= 419 dmg

But I'm pretty sure any Kameo with an attack that leaves the enemy standing that allows you to 4xxSHOWTIME can let you do this:

 

[Mikemetroid]

Vid desc has the notations...

Meterless Midscreen Combos
212, Dash, F3, 212, Dash 4~BF4 (330)
F34, B3, Dash 212, Dash 4~BF4 (317)
F124/F4. Dash, F1, 212, Dash 4~BF4 (288)

these enders are important though... I think its pretty optimal as there will be many ways to chain into kameos this way

Is the back wavedash timing different from the forwards ?

 

[Roosta]

building off some of this with (another) kano cameo...

 

[hkriderz]

Yeah. You can't cancel a backdash with block like you can forward dash, so you're mainly just dashing back

This is how the game is played.

 

[Roosta]

2 bar AA (~36%): useful if someone is mixing jump ins expecting an upblock

Corner carry 2 bar w hype (46%): leaves you with over half of your meter for more corner pressure

Probably not optimal, if anyone has any tweaks pls lmk...

Need to explore other kameos

Midscreen to corner with kano

212, j2, 4 x ex nutpunch, kano knife assist, j2, 4 x wowing out x nut punch x nut punch x spooky dash, (you can do 4 here but it’s harder) 214 x nut punch x nut punch x rising elbow, j2, 214 x shadow kick x shadow kick x shadow kick. It’s liiiiiiike 490 or something I need to hit it again to check lol. Practicin. The jump in 2 after kano assist kinda sucks. I’m practicing doing kano late to see if I can walk forward just a little.

If you don’t carry to corner you can do only one nutpunch and the rising elbow will connect without the corner.

So is there any trick to connect 214 after spooky dash in hyper combos? I cant seem to do it constantly. Either i press too soon and only 1 come out or I do it too late and they block 214. This is odd, because I use to play atleast 3 cancel characters in mkx and could do cancels effortlessly.

I had the same issue. I found that a lot of the time it wasn't the 214 I was fucking up but I wasn't inputting the dash as fast as possible from NP.

Is that throw being tech’d? If they eat the throw and you blow up with them is there the getup roll thing in this game?

 

[hkriderz]

No. Forward throw turns into a shove when your kameo is on the screen. If they tech it, they should still explode with Cyrax and you can convert
