The thing is, he's not even low-tier. He's got the tools to be at least mid-tier, and at the best, upper mid-tier. Against females due to the hitbox issues, yeah, but against male characters, Cage can be a killer. He's also a great character to learn for teaching whiff punishing and spacing.
I decided to do what a few of the members of the Cage community have been doing and mainly going with Cage through Kombat League, with a few exceptions where I use Cassie. No better feeling than being able to beat a Scorpion player with Cage.
Actually, scratch that, no better feeling than making players do a Quitality against Cage, which happened to me about 3 times just from last night alone.
