Combo List - Johnny Cage The Official Johnny Cage Combo Thread

[mrKrucifix]

Can someone explain to me , or show me a guide, the meaning of all this abbreviations (f23, d4 etc.). Also if there is someone that can add me to his friend list and practice a little with me it would be fantastic (PSN ID: baciu91).

1 = Front Punch - Square
2 = Back Punch - Triangle
3 = Front Kick - Cross/X
4 = Back Kick - Circle

U = Up
F = Forward
D = Down
B = Backward

EX/MB = Meter Burn / Use a bar of meter

xx = Cancel Into

I'll send a friend request here in a few minutes. Mr_Kruce_Wayne

I forget the damage, I'll check when I get home tonight, but these are the combos I've been using.

You can also change the Nut Punch at the end of the combos with Shadow Kick for easier execution and more corner carry.

A-List:
(Mid-Screen)

- F3[4] xx RC, 113 xx NP (19%)

- F3[4] xx RC, F24, D1, F3 xx NP (23%)

- F3[4] xx RC, F23, D1, F3 xx EX NP, 12, F3 xx NP (32%, 1 Bar)

- F3[4] xx RC, 113 xx EX NP, 12, F3 xx NP (29%, 1 Bar)

Universal:
(Mid-Screen)

- F24, D1, F3 xx NP (21%)

- F24, D1, F3 xx EX NP, 12, F3 xx NP (33%)

(Corner)

- F24, D1, 12, 114 xx NP (27%)

- F24, D1, 12, 12, 4 xx NP (28%)

- F24, D1, 12, 12, 4 xx EX NP, 12 xx NP (36%, 1 Bar)

- F4, 1, 12, 12, 4 xx NP (26%)

- F4, 1, 12, 12, 4 xx EX NP, 12 xx NP (34%, 1 Bar)

- 113 xx EX NP, 12, 12, 4 xx NP (31%, 1 Bar)

EDIT: Added the damage percentages, and meter spent. Also added a few more A-List specific combos. Basically, use F3[4] xx RC to whiff punish your opponent, and then lead into your normal universal combos from there. Once your execution increases, you can use your whole stamina bar for more damage or pressure. I'm not quite there yet, but I'll add more combos as I am able to do them.

Added damage percentages and double checked the combos. All good to go. Also added a few more A-List specific BnB's.

Those button replacements are so natural for me, i just forgot to do this, sry :>. Great @mrKrucifix did it ^^

Hi guys! new member here xD Anyway

My BnBs:

Chip combo - 113/4~bd3/bf4

Variation: Stunt Double
METERLESS: db4 (Mimic) f24 ~db1 RC f3~db1 RC f3~bd3 [33%] [+4% chip]
1 METER: db4 (Mimic) f24 ~db1 RC f3~db1 RC f3~(EN)bd3 f3~bd3 [42%] [+4% chip]
2 METER: db4 (Mimic) f24 ~db1 RC f3~db1 RC f3~(EN)bd3 f3~(EN)bd3 f3~bd3 [47%] [+4% chip]

It's really not worth using 3 meters since it only gives about 50% scales too much already

you can also use f24 d1 f24 as a starter instead of just f24 for +5% damage (correct me if I'm wrong)

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

I use A-list and the corner combo f24, d1, 12, 12, f3 xx np - 27%, I have trouble with because I do all the imputs and everything comes out but the nut doesn't connect, anyone else with this problem?

gonna test it tonight aswell and add it to the guide

I use A-list and the corner combo f24, d1, 12, 12, f3 xx np - 27%, I have trouble with because I do all the imputs and everything comes out but the nut doesn't connect, anyone else with this problem?

did you turn off negative edge in the controller settings?^

//edit im gonna try the combo myself, just thought you have problems with your inputs not with the np actually landing . My bad

You may have to switch up the timing of the combo a little, depending on if you want to use normal NP, or EX NP. EX NP comes out faster. You have to make sure they're being juggled at the right height. If they're closer to the ground, EX NP will connect because it's very fast, but normal NP is too slow, and it will whiff. If they're higher in the air, normal NP will connect, but EX NP will whiff.

It sounds complicated, but it's not bad at all once you get the hang of the different timings.

Guys, I don't really lurk too much in the Cage forums and I am not sure if it was posted but the BNB I am doing in the corner isn't listed in the OP at the moment. You probably need the nut punch that is in SD/FC and not AL...

f24, d1, 12, 4~EX bd3, 12, 114~bd3 38% (easy)
f24, d1, 12, 12, 4~EX db3, 114~bd3 for the same damage (easy)
f24, d1, 12, 12, 4~EX db3, 12, 114~bd3 39% (slightly tighter)

I added your combos in the first post.
I don´t know if we should add every 12, 11 variation of corner combos^^.

Yeah just take whatever you like I just noticed it when I came in attempting to steal stuff from you guys . I think the 39% one is good enough to list as a bnb it can be inferred that you can just drop off iterations of 12 to make it easier.

These are the sunglasses I've actually been rocking for the past few years:

As for the other part of this thread, thanks for the combos guys, I really don't like Stunt-Double or A-List but I'm definitely going to put those universal combos to use.

I think for now let's just put as many different combos as we can. We can decide which ones are worth the time, effort, and execution later.

yea true story . I added your dmg to the combos + your other combos.

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but I have a habit of neutral ducking projectiles and if they are really predictable nutpunching under to build meter but I discovered playing a Kotal Kahn last night that this is impossible to do, if you D4 you will go right under his projectile.

Not bad.

 

[RWDY Nori]

Due to f24, d1, f24 nut punch whiffing randomly too much, the new staple I'm using is f24, d1, f3 nutpunch.

 

[RWDY Nori]

Also for the corner, I do f24, 12x4, 113 nutpunch 33% no meter

 

[Wam-Zlay]

Online i have the problem that my d1 doesn´t come out sometimes anyone else having the same problem?

 

[RWDY Nori]

I don't bother with online at all anymore. Horrible netcode

I don´t have much problems online. I can´t play offline anyways, so i have to get used to the laggs .

think we might have had the 1-2 meter ones already (they were in the comp i made few days ago? ) but im not sure...

 

[crosstalk]

Note these are in A-List but I'm pretty sure they should be universal...

Not sure if NJP combos have been posted but I've been using:

Midscreen Meterless
njp <slight walk forward> f4 f24 d1 f3~nutpunch (27%)

Midscreen Metered
njp <slight walk forward> f4 f24 d1 f3~ex nutpunch f3~nutpunch (34%)

Corner Meterless
njp f4 f4 12 4~nutpunch (28%)
njp f4 f4 12 333~nutpunch (30%)

Corner Metered
njp f4 f4 12 4~ex nutpunch 12~nutpunch (34%)

Don't know if this was known but you can connect a shadow kick after a ji3 or ji4 lands for 13% (18% for EX). Easiest way to hit it is to input the bf motion as the jump kick is coming out, then do the 4 as soon as it hits.

Also some JIK corner combos. Not sure if this was posted yet either:

Corner Meterless
jik f3~nutpunch (19%) -- easy to connect. Is this MK9 or MKX?
jik 12 12 4~nutpunch (27%)

Corner Metered
jik f3~ex nutpunch 12 4~nutpunch (32%)
jik f3~ex nutpunch 12 333~nutpunch (34%)
jik 12 12 4~ex nutpunch 12~nutpunch (35%)

EDIT: I tested it for the hell of it but it looks like jik3 run~f3~nutpunch works midscreen. Hits for 19% just like in the corner. Pretty strict though. You have to input the run command as the jump kick is coming out just like with the jik~shadow kick above.

Yeah this is some nice stuff. Nice work @Kensou

 

[Desperdicio]

I can't land the Nut Punch on F4, F2, 4, D1, F2, 4, Nut Punch. Does this BnB still work after the patches? Any tips on how to perform this combo?
