@@Originalknyte i think its cuz of damaging scaling and you end up getting only like 10% if you end a combo with it compared to 40-50% js doing it without a combo

Brother, as someone who is new to the MK franchise, this is not only incredibly detailed, but easy to understand! Thank you SO much. I’ve wanted to play Johnny, but I had no idea what to do. I’ve tried other guides but they don’t fully explain what everything means, more or less show the actual combo they are using. This guide helped me actually combo people. Please make guides just like this on more characters! I appreciate it!
Xombat for those of us who got the premium edition and is playing on PC, or console, I know some people including myself are having bad choppy jitters in the game where it feels like your lagging but I’m in the lab or practice mode not online in a match, if you know a way to fix this please let us know and keep up the good work.
Labbing hype is such a pain without auto reset. They need some character specific settings.

Johnny's pressure feels like Liu Kang's Mk11 variation 3 update. 12 is +3, which guarantees B123 with 9 frame startup, basically making B123 a 6 frame mid string that gives around 5% chip or a 25% combo. Definitely gonna give Johnny a try when i buy the game
Awesome guide man, I do hope you become more active. I did look you up during MK 11 but you were missing an action when it comes to TH-cam so here’s hoping you stay more active with this game. Awesome guide.
I was looking to learn more combos on him, especially with hype since I hadn't fully gotten that down yet, and this video was exactly what I needed. He's easily my favorite this game. Thanks so much, you explained everything really well. Great guide.
the guide about the buttons and pressure explaining was really good but i think on the combo part there is way optimal combos that can be done meterless and with 1 bar ones that u showed especially if u figure out the optimal ones later if u get do a optimal combo guide i would really appreciate it
Can you make a Johnny matchup guide? I was struggling against this Kitana earlier because she has advancing mid attacks, projectiles, and just poked everytime I tried to forward 1
I loved the video, but if i'd love if it a had a section about dealing with zoning and projectiles in general! had a hard time fighting a reiko that went full screen with his stars that break armor moves and subzero armor
Real talk though thanks for uploading Xombat I just found out about you through Sonics vids. I’m also a huge Johnny fan and you’re a xo fan too so that’s a big dub. I’ve been looking for a vid like this to be uploaded and I knew you would come through. Thank you for this
Thank you for this guide. New to MK1 on the competitive side and your tutorial was very helpful to understand how the game works coming from other fighting games. best guide hands down, keep them coming. My only struggle right now is deciding if I should play on pad or stick ? pad just feels easier to me then stick and all I play is stick. the ex moves with block mess me up on stick cramps my hands and not as consistent. welp again thank you for this guide dude, instant subscribed for me.
bro ty a lot nice guid for real. can u pls explain me one moment. im talking about this timing after df3. i really do not understand how to correctly time it to start the next move. i drop hype combo in this place in 75% of times
This is awesome thanks. Just one question, I don't recall you going over a mid screen hype combo - can you provide that or did I miss it? From the three F124, F321 and 212 openers. I assume it's a hype from a cancelled standing 4 but it would alter the rest of the string.
Man it's so fucking stupid they nerfed Johnny but didn't touch kenshi or sub's ice clone. It would've been nice if they only took the invincibility of nut punch only if armor. It still hurts to see him get nerfed man
I agree. You still have Raiden and Shang who can loop and do 50% combos but they had to nerf JC... let the game develop and see how the community is reacting to it. It's so annoying had a day 1 nerf
@@djcrazy941026 dude it still pisses me off. It's not just about this, in mk11 also, since the beginning his mid was slow as F. But to counter it he has plus frames so at least there was a mind game. And then they nerfed him to the ground. Meanwhile there's Fujin with broken normals.
@nateriver6464 it's a matter of time until they remove the plus frames from Johnny in this game, just like they did in mk11... I'm not even sure if I should main him cus I'm scared they will do worst to him
@@GokuGodItachi1233 how about you stop whining about characters. NRS does this kind of stuff because of people like you. Watch until they remove JC plus frames just like mk11 and get nerfed badly.
Amazing guide! Wow I didn’t know they nerfed the nut punch EX. I was wondering why I was struggling with it, that’s huge. Would u mind doing one for Raiden? Him and Johnny my 2 favs this game
You propably know already but you can combo of f1 2 3 with cryax you do the spinning thing after f1 2 then do the 3 and you recover to get a 11 shadow kick 25% is better then 13% plus you get meterless nutpunch combos of the same kameo
Does JC have a low combo starter like he did in 11? Ngl I like what they did to him, but I miss his F3, 124, and B34. Even the animation of his Van Damme kick in 11 was better imo.
The frame data from MK9 was sweet! I do like something close to MK9 frame data, so I'm expecting something very close from MK1. Seems good for now though.. Still early to see its full potential.. Definitely not like the horrible MK11 frame data.. Mortal Kombat definitely needs speed to be enjoyable.. Keep it up 🎉
It’s about conditioning your opponent, as went over in the video he has high starters that are plus. If your opponent is mashing a low attack you will get hit, so for example you get him to block your plus string, and instead of going for another high starter plus string go into your 9frame mid which is F3 then you make them explode
Wait til the opponent slightlyy lifts their head back up , dont mash or panic and try get your 214 in . If its blocked its not too much harm , hope this works for u 🙌
@@ddelchiaro no worries , if you consistently do it in practice mode it should work well , another tip for johnny is when you dash up , forward jump 2 it seems to work nice for me . And also hold your kano ball (if u use kano) and do shadow kick and release , its guaranteed pressure . F1 into grab works EVERY time too . I know this was covered in the video but these tips are the ones that work well for me . And also my friend im not calling you 'bad' im just trying to help you out but u may already know these tips , enjoy MK1 🤘
Bruh if they're gonna make np cost 2 bars they'd better make the damn thing plus on block and increase the hit stun so you get guaranteed pressure afterwards instead of just resetting neutral. Every other character out here is doing 50% but johnny can't? I hate nrs. Ever since mkx they've had a vendetta against cage, they try to nerf him into the ground in EVERY game.
Hi I’m not sure if you know this or not but Johnny 2144 into Kano knives jails and into plus frames and if they get hit by the overhead you can combo into it.
Also if you time the kano knives during 214 before the overhead it’s a gimmick but you can jail 2144 again and it becomes a mind game because 2144 into knives jails f1 f3
It ends in an overhead… maybe you’re not looking at the right string. While the overhead will knock them down if they don’t block the full plus frames you get a meaty off of it
Any tips for the move that johnny throws his sunglasses? It almost seems useless to me, and its frame data is horrible. Am i using it wrong? I dont understand.
I'd like to ask, nearly any time there's a j2 in a combo, you can do j2,4,4 for more damage. It even does more damage than two j2s. Is there a reason you do that instead, or is this just overall better? I'd also like to ask: I've seen you use Cyrax a bit in online matches against others. Which one do you think is better between him and Kano?
@@mokhan5830 Yes, but what I'm saying is j2,4,4 can extend the combo in the exact same way. Nothing in the combo changes if you replace j2 with j2,4,4.
Can anyone help me figure out what Johnny's enhanced moves do ? I tried it in practice mode and noticed zero difference between his normal supers and enhanced supers. The only move I figured out was that nut punch stuns longer maybe ?

This is actually the most fluid guide to Johnny I think anyone is…I was so lost on how hype works and this made it so understandable thank you Xombat!

was a great guide man, i really enjoyed this. One thing you can add is 1 or 2 matches so we can see everything you showed in action
