I'm really glad that you guys noticed these problems, specially the #2 point. I've been very bummed by 114 whiffing, it's supposed to be a safe string and you end up being punished when you use it.
On many occasions, the opponent crouches anticipating an 113 that, already, is -23 on block. However you are going for a 114 that's supposed to be safe. Then the move whiffs, and you are punished either way. A lose/lose scenario. It's true that us Johnny players, work our way around it and "make do" with what we have, but I think it's fair that Johnny gets normalized, so we can use this string, well, normally.
I was actually going to open a thread about this issue, I've not been very present on the forum, but I know that the Johnny community has been really mild on voicing their concerns of the character. So, I was worried that this issue would not be raised.
I hope that NRS notice these problems and that they fix it, since I believe we're not asking much.
P.S: It's really nice to be among fellow JC brothers,
he really is my favorite MK Kharacter
