You are very much putting yourself in harm's way doing that. He counters everything if you are close to him throws, attacks, and projectiles (if you are nearly touching him) other X-Rays. (testing all the x-rays right now actually, will edit post once I make sure he can counter all of them or not)Personally, I just zone and throw Johnny once he's got his x-ray. It's also limited to a few seconds, once he's finished the phrase it's safe to hit him. Though, I haven't actually tested to see if he can counter a throw, so I may be putting myself in harms way potentially by doing that.
Good info, I knew about the attacks and projectiles if touching him, just wasn't sure on the throws. I'm certainly interested in finding which x-rays he can counter!You are very much putting yourself in harm's way doing that.

Wait, he can Parry Sheeva's X-Ray?He counters ALMOST all X-Rays in the game. The only ones he can't counter are his own (of course) and the banned character's, AKA Kratos. So, seeing as Kratos is banned I think it is safe to say that Cage can counter all but 1 attack in the game (in close proximity), that being his own X-Ray.
Yeah I know right? Actually of all the characters I thought Sheeva's would be the one that couldn't be countered but not so. Interesting stuff. Useful if you can react to certain attacks/pokes well, and this early on, useful for catching panicking opponents.Wait, he can Parry Sheeva's X-Ray?
This sounds very strange...
Well I used to throw out an X-Ray a second after doing a block-string to catch anyone trying to punish my block-string. Of course, since I always played the same group of people, they caught on and just kept blocking. Might still be a viable bait though. Don't know how you'd bait what I do with the X-Ray though, as I just do the X-Ray on reaction to a move now.It's a great X-Ray, cause you can FK+BK+Block to whip it out on reaction to OWN everything in the game. Now suppose you have full X-Ray stocked and your opponent wants to bait you out.
As the opponent, how would one go about baiting Cage's X-Ray? Anyone know any good baits or has been X-Ray baited? Please do share.
