Thanks, I don't have a twitter but anyone that wants to feel free hahaGodlike vid, you should post it on twitter daily at 16bit until they get the point.
Damn, memories of the hitbox issues in Mkx are hitting me like 'Nam flashbacks.Damn you guys have been active today. Finished the crouch block video. Kitana and the man himself seem to be the worst followed by his daughter Cassius Clay. Didn't include Shadow Kick cause it doesn't whiff. f3 doesn't either but I wasn't sure when testing and since uppercut whiffs at point blank against Kitana and JC I wanted to be sure.
One word:Damn, memories of the hitbox issues in Mkx are hitting me like 'Nam flashbacks.
lol this is worst than I thought, good job! Thanks for making thisDamn you guys have been active today. Finished the crouch block video.

Main thing I’m seeing is not properly punishing jade’s negative strings. B12 and b1 edenian spark should both be punishable by f3. If f3 doesn’t work to punish f21, use shadow kick. A lot of awkwardness in your close game as well. Have a plan for what you’re guna do if d1 hits (do i jail into f4, do i throw? Do I walk back?) and if it’s blocked (mime cancel, block?). You’re also using caged rage awkwardly and too often. If you land a d4, try to jail them with f344. It’s much more threatening, especially in the corner. You can cancel into forceballs for + frames or threaten to dash throw off the next d4.Looking for aome Jade tips that I am missing, such as what punishes her keep away moves, what i was not doing effectively to counter her etc.. had a hell of a comeback but feel im missing something.
Just sent it to him. Also sent it to Ed Boon and Tyler Lansdown, just to be safeGodlike vid, you should post it on twitter daily at 16bit until they get the point.
Hell yeah exactly what i was looking for, not sure her moves but ill take her into practice so i can visualize her strings. Yeah i play cage awkward, alnost like a grappler, which for some reason the sporatic nature of has kept me competitive. Dropped a lot of corner stuff here which i now have nailed down to a more consistent and high dmg corner punish. Things like d4 jailing is exactly the kinda stuff i need to know, cause i really have no idea on a mechanics level what works and what doesnt. My logic behind cage rage is the d4 into cage rage if it hits is a free hit or level which i like to use the last level as a round ender or a more often than not follow up with b3 4 which while they panic they tend to not block. High level will most likely expect this and the strat will have to be adjusted. But i agree i tend to throw it out and like to get a good lvl 3 per round or match since people tend to always be blocking low against cage. I think the move is underrated and has some amazing potential. Wish it had a kb associated. Going to try these jails as i figure theyll make me more dangerous cause im definitely not capitalising on their potential.

Her nitro kick is also full combo punishable with 244. If you’re scared of it in neutral because it is fast as fuck, it’s high, so it loses to d4. In general you can crouch her and react to the one overhead. Most of this set seems to just be matchup inexperience.
Work on your corner pressure too. Practice neutral jump kick conversions. Get used to how to beat each wakeup. Shimmy more.
Spoken like a champ bro. As far as pressure goes Johnny Is decent and not all that great. Most of his moves aren't safe and his best pressure tools being his forceballs whiff most of the time.There are some important things to mention here because I think we're overselling some of his stuff too much.
f4 is -6
f44 is -5
Using any of these two will end your turn and make YOU guess an opponent d1/d3/d4 or grab. Using his only advancing mid will 100% give up your turn
f4 forceballs
Whiffs on more than half the cast on block and will get you full combo punished. Not viable at all unless you play against proper hitbox chars which aren't many
d3/d4 best pokes
We must mention here the lack of range on those compared to other chars(scorp,noob). One match against huge mid reaching chars (cassie, scorp,etc) will give you a rude awakening when your d4 is out of range and you will get full comboed
And last, we really have to stop using the "pressure" word with cage in mk11. He doesn't have pressure outside of d4 in f3 grab or string. For anyone who wants to understand what pressure feels like in mk11 I suggest a match against a good jacqui or liu kang.
Not to downplay or anything but I just want to avoid overselling. New players will come here and read that stuff and go online to get vaporized.
Maybe you should use gameplay that isn't a complete stomp in your favor but still shows off Cage being used properly. I'd be able to provide something similar but I'm not too sure I'd be qualified. Regardless I'll be uploading some games soonOne day I'll have footage for yall. That day is not today.
T_____T
It's not me. PC players are bad, guys... Like... I can't... UGH. Can't add anyone. Can't get a KOTH lobby. I'm going back to story mode. Ranked is... It's makin me sad.

I wonder will take longer. Wrath recording quality matches, or Johnny's hitbox issues being fixedTHAT'S WHAT I WANT, BUT PC PLAYERS WONT GIVE IT TO ME
These are typical of what I get everyday. Except that one day with the Erron's (from now on known as Erronpocalype, May 10th) that I accidentally overwrote with some stupid ai matches from a tower of time for a Skarlet skin.

I actually disagree with this, i think combo damage should be lower, tends to promote smarter play with footsies. High almost 1 hit kills combos (exageration) have no place in this game imo. I like having a knock down drag out fight, not a high dmg combo that destroys opponents in 30 seconds. Let them fight! I wanna move away from the 9 and xl style comboes. Not get rid of combos, but make dmg only slightly better with an amplify, barely any damage without.Please for the love of elder gods, NRS! Give Johnny a Pissed Off and Rising Star tournament loadout!
43% for 1 bar is rainbow in my eyes.
The issues you're experiencing are things we're all going through. You're not downplaying at all. Most of his problems will probably get fixed. The same thing happened in MKX too. In order to get good with Cage for the time being is to keep grinding out matches with him. Abuse F4 and his pokes a lot. His pokes are very good and they tend to piss the other player off into making mistakes. Use Cage more than your other characters too. I found that, in fighting games, it's much better to master 2 or 3 characters than to try and learn the whole cast. It's better for your muscle memory.Its funny watching these "good" players never get d2 out of 121, f3, f2 yet all ive played are mashers and nothing I can do about it, oh wait that's right I have f4 lol.
Not to mention ive watched my whole 121 string whiff on block, f4 amp fireballs whiffing on block. Watching as I get kb punish for 300 plus damage yet here I am maybe doing 290 if I hit with a jump in followed by another high 34 this is very tiresome not having access to half the game.
Nothing worse than getting mixed and guessing correctly blocking perfectly just to get d2 kb.
Call me a downplaying asshole whatever but this is rediculous. I know the next response " just play someone else", guess I'm a glutton for punishment using my fav character since I was 6. Even had a 3 to 1 win ratio as a kenjitsu kenshi player in mix guess I'm getting old now lol.
Sorry for the rant just frustrated honestly.
I tried bone picker baraka after messin around in practice mode and lost 10+ games straight. It's hard taking a new character out when it's matching you against people based on how you did with main.What characters are there that are kinda similar to Johnny? My secondary is erron black, but I'm looking for another one to mess around with. While I'm at it, what secondaries do you guys have?
If I was playing ranked then sure but I only do player matches and run sets with friends so there isn't much worry to be had. Btw anyone else here play on xbox? I'll add youI tried bone picker baraka after messin around in practice mode and lost 10+ games straight.
