I dont want to sound disrespectifull but calling it a exemplar a list is just not right, your in the right path but far from the goal.
You dont got the cancels right yet, you dont use 4Skrc, 114Skrc, you dont use the bests bnb, you jump too much...

If you really wanna see how a-list is played look up twitch.tv/kombatklub

@Killer Xinok and @rafaw are in alot of the Koth sessions from recent broadcasts.
Put that type of runcancel pressure on steroids and you will see how a-list is played a year from now ;)

Seriously,did you ask them to help you for a trophy?
To lose the matches they lost one think must have happened.........their pads disappeared from their hands and they used an android converter,there is no other explanation!

Anti air you can do Exnp if you got the right timing or ExShadowflip~run~F3xxNp for a easier way, without meter i know 2 is really good but i cant use it right yet!
@Killer Xinok have been using 2xxSFlip~run~F3xxNp quite often.

Ive seen him do that when you guys streamed the last time and stole that tech directly ;)
Never thought 2 had such a good upwards hitbox tho.

Its great, @Killer Xinok is using it really consistently! Looks like it has a better vertical hitbox and more active frames than 1, and its 9 frames too.

That's one of the toughest anti-airs in Mkx, 9 frames isn't very fast for using as anti-air, and its recovery is bad, so, it takes a lot of train to do it at the right time.. I'm trying to put in mind, now, that I have to do 2skrc f4 12 f3 np.. I will soon be using this.. and also make a video tutorial of jhonny cage.. That I think will help a lot of people.

The best anti-air in terms of consistency against deep jump in attacks, is probably EX Nutpunch. Regarding normals, I'm not sure about 2. From my experience S1 works a little bit better...none of them is very good anyway.

*Never thought about using the EXFlipkick combo though, I'll surely give it a try...nice find @Killer Xinok

S1 doesn't have much Upward hitbox.. what could make JIP like Sub zero's catch you in the attempt of the anti-air.. That's the reason I use S2.. But S1 is also pretty good

Some matches of mine when I traveled down to SOVA for Top Of The Food Chain. Any critique is appreciated (especially on the Cassie match up).






Aside from tourney nerves affecting my execution and a few bad decisions on my part, I think I did pretty well. Ended up getting 5th place when all was said and done.

Solid play all around.
One thing i might suggest is that you should use f3 waaaaay more.
Alot of times when you threw a poke you could have used f3 better because your opponent then has to respect your pressure out of the runcancel.
Use f3-f3 to condition your opponent. After that you can mix em up after the f3.
Good stuff on the anti-armor 12rc's tho.

Good games @mrKrucifix ! I really liked your games.
I have a few advices, you probably already know most of this but it might help.

Vs Kenshi you did well, but maybe you should have tried to neutral duck tele flurry and punish him a bit more often, from midscreen it could be done a few times. Also, EX rising karma can be punished with a well timed f3, but if you are not sure even shadow kick works.

Vs Cassie you have to interrupt her b124 with nutpunch EX at least once in the game, if you don't try it she will go for the whole string forever. You can also backdash the last hit, and it is a good solution if you don't have meter.
In neutral try to go for d4 a bit more, it low profiles b1 quite well if you are not too close.

Vs Predator hunter I believe the matchup is ok for Cage, you can actually outzone him with forceballs and he will be forced to try something like b22 (that you beat with d4) or EX Scimitar, that is very punishable.
Maybe you rushed him down a bit too much, I don't know.

In general you could also go for more damaging combos, but preferred to stick to the "easy ones" for consistency. It might be risky to go for a bit more damage with the dash cancel combos, but it is rewarding sometimes.
You also never tried 4SKRC or 114SKRC or B34 SKRC after connecting a nutpunch, it might be something to consider next time.

good games @mrKrucifix but imo you should use the cancels more, 4skrc, f2skrc, 114skrc, once in a while 113skrc!
Also, when people are defending the mixup of 11~f24, you can check if they block right, 1~f24, it changes the timing of the low hit and catch people off guard quite a bit.
Another thing i noticed is the low pokes, everytime you blocked one, you try one yourself and they defended it, you should notice that and once you defended a low poke, go for f3rc so you are the agressor, imagine that everytime they low poke you on block you got 2 free blockstrings chip+meter.
In the Cassie MU you should armor between the gap before the kick on that string.

Thanks for the tips. I've started incorporating everything you guys said and I'm starting to see results more frequently. I haven't had a chance to play a good Cassie still tho, but I feel confident in most of the match ups now. Is there any footage of a good Johnny (any variation is fine) dealing with Sub-Zero? Specifically Grandmaster.

Good shit @Mr FiF .
