Johnny Cage Optimal Mid-screen Combos (No Kameo)

[Kompetitor]

I tested and recorded Johnny's midscreen optimal combos, I notice myself and a lot of players leaving a lot of damage on the table, so I decided to make this guide. Please like and share the video if it helped you (subscribe if you're feeling generous!). If you discovered more damaging options, please let me know and I can update this! Corner combos coming soon, and I plan to make a thread for each Kameo as well.

Looking good.

Sometimes, you find things right when you need them. This is A+++ stuff. I'll always prefer learning a character with an old school list of numbers and notations instead of sitting through tutorials.

I feel like the only reason I haven't put the time in with this version of Johnny (which IMO is EASILY the best and most entertaining he's been since MK9) is because I'm not super great at the Hype Combos yet, but seeing how small a part of his overall damage capabilities they are lowers my blood pressure quite a bit.
