The Ultimate Johnny Cage Guide - MK1

[@TheKompetitor]

Cyrax just got nerfed, so expect a new kameo guide coming soon!

[@aaronbrooks1020]

Sereena! Start Using her With Johnny! Cause she does a Ton of damage with him.🙌🏽🔥🔥

[@Buck93]

How did you place at ECT?

[@ChewyMorales13]

Even with the nerf I think cyrax is still the best choice , been doing really well with him

[@MojaveMyth_screwKowalski]

Kano can be really good

[@LeninGutierrez-xo4vl]

Stryker is good

[@drownedcreation]

it's insane how this game looked so much better thirty-two years ago

[@EmersonMM27]

Brother I’ve been a Johnny cage main for 15 years worst character or not still my main but man YOU ARE JOHNNY

[@counterhitter8064]

Keep in mind during hype, all of Johnny’s specials are treated as enhanced specials. So shadow kick has free armor and nut punch is invincible during hype. Rising star launches meterlessly obviously. I believe the parry is also treated as enhanced as well

[@king-stoney-jay7210]

I've actually used the glasses to bait my opponent but only situational like against someone who's always in the air like nitara and will be using it to hype up then she will get in the air and I will let it go and it will hit confirm her in the air and can combo. Even after knocking someone down alot of people don't react to it. Just a gimmick.

[@nonlchalanto]

I use glasses after during hype specials. After a spaced out nut punch it’s like plus 5. Big gimmick but your safer then just doing a third nut punch

[@king-stoney-jay7210]

@@nonlchalanto i definitely will try it thanks!!

Ngl the reptile jumping back over you cracked me up lmao

Just got into playing with Johnny cage this guide very helpful really appreciate people like you man 🖤

[@imhirohimself]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🔥

[@jerrymaldonado9397]

This is good stuff my guy. Been playing Johnny for a long time. Still remember the babalities 😅

[@romaiiika88]

I would like you to cover JK sub zero synergy. He can completely fill his hype meter in one combo, easily builds half of the star with every touch. Also projectile immunity is really good. Also he can go into hype and make his two nutpunches save cancelling them into sub zero shoulder. Also for sure he goes into hype combos really easily using b2 charge on a frozen opponent.

[@ratdog356]

how does he completely fill his hype meter in one combo?

[@romaiiika88]

@@ratdog356 string into amp rising star, hit him with air 2 as late as possible then dash canel 4 into freeze. Change sunglasses, then instantly charge b2 (timing has to be good), After b2 hits fill remaining hype with fdb4. Also you get oki and 30%+ damage which is good. If you have half of a star you can do the same stuff but after b2 you can go straight to the hype mode and begin a short hype combo. Something like np np dash 214 np and two shadow kicks. In a corner you can end combo with 212 4 np np np into restand and then chip them out with f32 np np into subs shoulder. For sure you can get to the hype using string into ground freeze. Change sunglasses after to fill star and then go to your typical hype combo using 4 into hype into nutpunch.

[@ratdog356]

@@romaiiika88 thank you I’ll try it out

[@ObiJuanKenob]

The format has a great flow, would love to see annotations covering different sections.

[@TheKompetitor]

I tried to get this out before ECT, def gonna take this feedback for future videos

Thank you bro, hope you enjoyed your first major this weekend!!

Kombat Time 🤩😄

[@andrewjacob8087]

First time i am seeing the shadow uppercut taunt.

[@d4rkl3g3nds9]

International Love

[@edricjordan7093]

Good video!! Highlighting his strengths and weaknesses as well as how he should be played. Quick question. I kmow there is NO one that can apply pressure like JC. But who would you say is comparable in regards to hella plus frames and pressure?

[@seancardinus7089]

Li mei and no axe shao

[@reecestv]

Thanks bro really helped

[@vinnyesposito2454]

Might need to make a new video with the cyrax nerfs

[@halkras]

ULTIMATE TIP; Play "International love" when you do fatal blow

[@Brutal_Bat1]

I'm confused???

[@d4rkl3g3nds9]

@@Brutal_Bat1u dont know?

[@NathRebornsK]

No nerfs, except power nerfs a little. Only damage power a little.

[@MId022]

We need to make a new guide bro❤

[@The_Brenton]

Awesome man. I hate that his fatal is so hard to get in a launch combo. The dash s4, fatal has to be so fast!

[@Illinaut552]

I'm new to mortal kombat as a whole, and I'm trying to do a hype combo. I'm lost on canceling bd1 into df3 and then doing 214. I've had sometimes where it combos and others where it doesn't and I can't figure out what's different.

[@ZinkBomb]

check your ‘kontrols’ section. many people, as they improve, find that tightening up those options leads to less dropped kombos and more accurate thumbwork.

[@mallyx7621]

6:00 combo

[@1MekLambda]

tbh i prefer to say that with Kano u have some better combo, Cyrax is not perfect for combo

[@dmitrycx]

Can you explain if there are any conditions for brutalities? for example some of my nut-punch combos like when you finish in the corner 214 into nutpuch resolve into brutalities when I hold 2. but sometimes they are not. Is there a condition how much health should be left when you do your final hit or any precise timings or what?

[@TheKompetitor]

I have no idea, i think you the nutpunch isnt the hit that kills the brutality wont happen?

[@dmitrycx]

I thought so, but that’s definitely not the case as in both cases opponent was dead before the final 214np. And sometimes it works sometimes it’s not( Man I love these brutalities😂

[@avocado_antonio]

Same issue here for me aswell, tried to end the match with the nut punch brutality after combo strings but it never seemed to work even after holding 2. Only got it to occur so far by doing a nut punch after down 1. Hope they might fix it in the next patch if it’s a bug

[@tjclark6928]

For me I usually get the nut punch brutal if I do the input while holding 1 and 2. It whiffs sometimes but that’s the most consistent way I’ve found

[@dmitrycx]

Actually I haven't tested it yet, but I noticed several times that I had no issues with nut punch brutalities if..... my opponent is not in the corner. I don't know what the difference is but I am making the same combo and getting this brut close to 100% mid screen

[@AyeGameBae]

Hehehehe... The nut

[@mondaacz9638]

how did you cancel to nutpunch? 17:10
