Strategy Johnny Cage Meter Building Data

[Aidan]

This is a continuation of my Meter Building project for all of the characters. This data gives you the basic tools for perfecting your meter game, so that's why there are only basic combos and specials. For block strings or more advanced combos you need to do the math yourself. Check out the General Meter Building Data Information.​

​

For blocked normals and specials, they all build 8.996212121% (for simplicity 8.996%) of meter per hit. So if you hit someone with 111 on block you build 26.988% because they were hit by 3 normals.​

​

For blocked specials, you build meter on the initial use of the special and the extra meter because it was blocked. For example, if you use Forceball you build the initial 3.725% of meter, but if it hits a blocking opponent then you add 8.996% which results in 12.722% of meter build.​

​

This applies to all characters so Sonya or Smoke for example build the same 8.999% on block.​

​

There is no initial gain from EX attacks.​

​

​

You also build meter by taking damage.
It takes 48% damage to build one bar.
This general information will tell you specifically how much build by the amount of damage you take.
You don't build meter when taking block chip damage.

Now for Johnny Cage's data:

[Dill Mac]

Well done man. Appreciate it a lot

 

[Dizzy]

Cool, didn't know flip kick, shadow kick, and nutpunch all gave the same meter.

 

[Aidan]

It's like that for most specials they either build around 3.7% or 6%.

 

[crosstalk]

Damn, f33b3 ex fb builds almost half a bar alone... That's nasty.

 

[Mikemetroid]

Only if I could actually use the flipkick more often...

 

[THTB]

Shadow kick flies over a number of projectiles.

 

[Mikemetroid]

Shadow kick flies over a number of projectiles.

and nut punch goes under....

I'm talking about using it in his pressure game, it would look so fucking awesome XD

 

[Aidan]

Bump for updates.
