General/Other - Johnny Cage Johnny Cage Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

[DarksydeDash]

His design is sick! He looks so serious now but still has that cocky look and personality. I cant wait to see how he differs from Cassie.

 

[KleenexGhost]

I really like his new look, but the iteration of Cage we got in DA & Armageddon is still my favorite.

 

[Alright RyRy]

Somebody incoming saying "doesnt mean he is playable maybe he is just a NPC"

But @Mikemetroid stated that he is in, and he is illuminati

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Anyone else miss the old afterimage of shadow kick? And the sound it used to make.

 

[Alright RyRy]

[Cage Redfield]

I'm so ready for Johnny now. Holy shit I still can't get over the fact that he has brass knucks with his name on them.

 

[TopTierHarley]

Yeah i said a few times before but fuck it ill say it again lol

I think they could give JC the V-Isn variation from SF3:Alpha.

but where is shadows actually have a hitbox so if the op jumps over your Shadow kick the will land on 1 of the shadows and get domino'd straight back to the front.

Im thinking of him being able to have like 5 out at once but he needs to do something to activate each one, when he uses a special move he loses a Shadow or something like that.

maybe the ability to use them in normals my MB's the normal or string.

For his special moves have the ability to delay a Shadow by MBing it.
Combo possibilities be endless

for those who dont know what i mean by V-ism check this

now im not talking about the normals to juggle you like that im on about the shadows being the hit op like in this video

Dude I think they actually gave him a V-ism lol

I was thinking the same thing when read about the stunt double varation.

Care to elaborate on what a v-ism is? I'm a n00b : [

 

[TopTierHarley]

It's a variation from the Alpha series of SF which gives your after images a hurtbox that hits your opponent with the same move that was just done.

You could get a better idea if you look at the quoted post I have. I doubt it would be that extreme though.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

I read some dialogue and it seems like Johnny and sub-zero are cool with each other.
SUCH COCKYNESS
MUST MAIN
Sorry Sub-Zero!!

 

[Name v.5.0]

If all those chargeable normals and specials in A-List can be cancelled...might have quite the frame trapper on our hands.

Stunt Double is very intriguing as well.

I cant wait.

 

[Deleted member 35141]

He looks good and that fatality yes, so it also looks like sonya is playable too.
Did anyone notice Johnny fighting JAX he had the same veins covering his body like sindel and kitanna did

 

[Amplified$hotz]

I hope he has an alt costume in his fighting gear showing off the tatts.

 

[Dark]

Johnny looks better than he ever has.


But., stunt double.. Damnit Noob Saibot, everyone is taking your moves

 

[themagiccan2]

I'm curious to what the stunt double looks like and how it works

 

[Slymind]

Yeah, i'm guessing it's like the V-ism stuff posted, he uses a move then a shadow mimic follows up, extending his combos or amplifying his damage.

Just my 2 koins.

 

[Alright RyRy]

I want my mood to be all 3 Variations.

 

[IrishMantis]

TYM server going crazy multi posting and shit

The way the polygon article describes it, it is straight Noob.

His Shadow Kick and Rising kick are changed, instead of him doing it, he sends out a yellow clone to perform them.
Also changes his Shadow balls to shoot straight instead of curved.

Polygon has a little more detail on this.

Cage can also fight with a "Stunt Double" variation, with which he can create yellow mimics of himself. Instead of performing his signature slide kick or rising uppercut himself, he can launch a ghostly mimic to perform the same move. Stunt Double limits his fireball throwing ability, however. Instead of tossing two fireballs in two different arcs, a la Mortal Kombat 2, Stunt Double Cage can only throw them in a straight horizontal line, as in the original Mortal Kombat.

Also has some details about the others

[Luke Stofan]

This appears to be a shit ton of confirmation in one article.

Heads up, SPOILERS

Got that impression as well, so basically, i'm doing a combo and then at some point i use his flip/rising kick, his shadows do it for him, so himself stays on the ground where you can most likely do other stuff to further extend the combo.
