HF is supposed to be a pressure variation as well. JC may not have real 50/50's but his 11 pressure mixed up with throws etc is extremely good, and once you get caught in those corner restands gl getting out.
JC can do 2 SKRC's on hit.. who else does that? And ofc all fbc/skrc blockstrings require frame perfect timing, not just JC.
How much chip damage is JC's blockstring ending in ex fireball?
Scorpion is not a pressure character.
Scorpions old fbc was the easiest execution wise by a wise margin.
JC's GUARANTEED blockstrings are probably the hardest cancels.
Ending in ex fb you'd still get less damage than scorpions meterless old damage.
11 into grab gets you what 13% then your pressure ends and you need to get in on them again. Johnny is good in the corner obviously, half the cast is lethal in the corner.
2 skc's on hit is irrelevent since you will not ever get near 40% without spending a bar. It scales heavily.
Why should scorpion have cancel pressure also as good when he has a million tools johnny doesn't.
He needs something but NOT his old fbc pressure, most of the reputable scorpion community were accepting of the nerf.
In terms of pure character design, jc's pressure is a well fitting integral part of his game. Scorpion just had stupid braindead chip at the end of every combo
