So in Stunt Double, Cage gets his Shadow Uppercut that he had in previous games? I saw the after image do it and I think they said he's able to use it in that variation as well.

 

[M.D.]

Stream has shitload of info:

F3 confirmed!
B3 confirmed!
Uberannoying corner combos confirmed!
Nut punch reset confirmed!
Instant armored full screen EX shadow kick confirmed!

JANNNYYYYCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAIIIGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CONFIRMEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JHCRANE 14]

Ice to meet you...I'd frame that!!!

 

[Time Warner Kabal]

Personally, while I like him overall and his moves are cool, I don't care for his character model. He looks shorter and stockier than his MK9 iteration, and it looks a bit too douchey. Then again, that may well be the point, so good on NRS, if that's the case.

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

His Stunt Double variation will be broken. Watch.

nah. id worry more about fisticuffs.

 

[M.D.]

How broken he is will be irrelevant since Kung Lao and Raiden will be at least 10 times more broken than that.

 

[EGP Awesomo]

nah. id worry more about fisticuffs.

This man is right, fisticuffs has f33b3 style mix ups with massive chip damage, not to mention Im told that Cage has an overhead starter so you pretty much forced to stand during his mix ups or eat an overhead into nut punch

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

No kidding, just don't be in a corner when Johnny has low health.

 

[Spinky]

So yeah, this character looks freaking fantastic.

 

[LABound93]

Noob Saibot deconfirmed.

 

[EGP Awesomo]

Calling it now, people are going to be using cage and scorpion the first few weeks of the games life till he gets nerfed

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Wait so nut punch restands again? I missed it

 

[Bi-on-iC]

Stunt Double will be my go to variation.

 

[Awsumpossm]

Wait so nut punch restands again? I missed it

It does.

Did anybody catch the visual cues for the variations? Besides the brass knuckles in fisticuffs?

No kidding, just don't be in a corner when Johnny has low health.

so does he do more damage with less health or more damage with a full meter i was having technical difficulties for that part of the stream.

 

[aldazo]

Is it me or his jumps were very slow, like he were floating in air . I mean compared to the others shown so far.

 

[M.D.]

Any time someone mentiones Johnny is OP or overused, I shall be there to remind the world of Kung Lao.
No matter how many times I have to say it

When his health is in "danger" area, he doesn't do "increased damage" per say....but his specials are auto Ex for free, his throw is different and does more damage, he also has a repetitive punching string that never ends, seems like lol
