The only advice I can give is A: try to hold that d3 distance with Johnny, we can definitely out space that mo fo. B: Look for the patterns and when he staggers 11. Remember his low ending string cancel is negative or neutral I think, we can poke out of that and same goes for his overhead string (I'm pretty sure, don't quote me). So just guessing game all day once he gets his pressure started. I agree I don't do as well against it. I generally avoid stagger strings unless Johnny has no meter, his pokes aren't particularly great besides his low profiling one. Which we can blow up with u3.
Against a-list I can add, that you must be slightly out of range of d3, because you can't beat his f3 on reaction.
- A-list loves whiff-punish with f3, and when we know when he press f3 we can beat it. Whiff d3>d4/f22 is our main weapon.
- React at 1 or 11 and answer back with d1 extremely important!
- 113 SK cancel is +1 on block and you can poke d1 after it, you win and get your turn for pressure.
- 113 mb fireball you can block first and neutral duck second (d'vorah's hearbox is incredible :3) and even punish him.
- Always answer on his blocked d4 with f11 pressure.
- Your f112 bc 2>"shimmy-like" bait didn't work against his d4.
- dk can use slightly charged flip kick > d4 at his corner pressure without stamina, flip kick -1, you can do f112 after this.
- He can't wake up against you, because of d3. Use it on max range as meaty and he will suffer:^)
