Thanks for the feedback, I agree it seems like a hard matchup for Johnny to win. In regards to his run cancel string, I tried to ex nut punch through it several times, but i think its airtight. In the video, he'll do it and you'll see that I block the first rep, but then get hit after the run cancel. I asked my friend about it, and he said the only way to get around it is to duck the 2 in the 214 string since its a high. I just have to grind that matchup more I guess, but he's way better than me in terms of skill anyway.
Yep, airtight, my bad. I couldn't remember, because everytime I'd try, my friend would coincidentally screw up his cancel or go for something else.
No way he's top 5, but could quite possibly be top 10.
i think the stamina bar is bigger problem than the meter,we lose footsies to gain cancels!
that's right,maybe he is lower than 10,no stamina no johnny!
I prefer A List due to it resembling MK9 Johnny with his constant pressure (albeit different in MKX).
Fixed hitboxes doesn't mean he loses the gaps between his moves, it just means when a move says it's mid, it actually hits mid.
He´s not ducking it, the uppercut activates before the 4
F3 stuffed in what situation? D2 as anti air get stuffed a lot of times, cant use it, if we could at least trade it was ok, but get full bombo everytime we get stuffed makes it so bad as anti air!
I cant be very specific, but I've been knocked out of F3 by all sorts of other normals. Notably D3, and D4s
Backdash is really good, but its not a punish for the jumper... anti air is a really important tool in a FG, MKX dont have a lot of reliable AA but JC really lacks in this area, the mimic rising shadow is just usefull 3/4 away from the oponent as an AA!
That's why I say give the ex rising shadow armor and the ex flip kick in a-list the fully charged flip kicks juggle state. It would make people scared to jump in on him when he has meter in fear of full combo.
Indeed, that would be perfect!
I hate wasting meter on something as simple as a jump in. Cage is kind of a meter hog. He can't just go wasting it.
It wouldn't be a waste for a full combo and for someone to respect you while you have meter, one of his biggest weaknesses is jump ins and flip kick doing what I described would actually make people think twice and not jumping and being brain dead. 90% of players on this game cross over on knockdown, trust me using meter for it would be worth it.
Jeez I picked up JC because of his plethora of meterless options, I don't think he's a meter hog, and I would be completely cool with SD uppercut requiring meter for armor to AA.
