@@jeremyhayes6585 I'd argue Sheeva. In MK3 her basic kombo was 7 hits, and it's only been worse since. Plus she's always had wonky buttons, like in 3 her ground stomp was back down back hk. It's like the devs took joy in making her take more steps to accomplish the same thing.
You missed one very major thing with mk11 Johnny that a lot of people aren't really aware of unless they main him/fight him a lot. His hitbox when in crouch block is astonishingly small. Even just crouched in general a lot of mid projectiles just go over his head, but in crouch block like half of the stuff you can throw at him whiffs entirely. It's a thing NRS likes doing with characters, but especially early MK11 Johnny was probably the worst example of it they've ever done. You basically couldn't touch him in crouch block.
I remember using Nut Punch in MK9 and following with Forward+4. It wasnt a real combo. But you wont believe how many people online didnt know you could block it while your character is clenching their nards.
MK9 Johnny had the most satisfying XRAY. I literally never whiffed with that x-ray against more inexperienced players who wanted to button mash or be too aggressive. It was perfect
@@Sub-Zero_. fistcuffs johnny cage watch finals djt vs sonic fox erron blck. he used that variation before nerfs was epic . also reminds of mk3 kara punch pressure
To add insult to injury, I'm pretty sure that MKX string also leads into a brutality, so not only will you be getting hit by it the entire match, you'll probably get finished off with a flashy brutality if you don't die to chip damage
It's a great game everyone broken so only some were so absurdly broken they were broken I played reptile and johnny reptile was so fast and yet only mid tier with 40 percent meterless combos slide cancel for free cross ups slow moving projectiles that comboed
When it came to MKX I loved using the Stunt Double variation the most, It may not have been outright as strong as A-List or Fisticuffs, but as soon as you got the doubles activated it led to some decent pressure potential and combos. for example. you could do a jump in, a string that jailed or hit mid then go into the stunt double's version of rising star. While Johnny couldn't actively move for a brief moment as it activated, assuming he had meter he could spend it to trigger the overhead followup so you had to guess it and stay standing, you could try to challenge it but I think on CH it was a bounce launch (Pretty sure its hard knockdown now? can't remember honestly) So you generally didn't wanna challenge it. which led to Johnny just usually doing another string for chip or going for a cheeky low afterwards on block, free hits or mini combo on hit and If he knocked you down, he could just refresh the doubles in most cases and start it again. His only real issue I remember was he had no reliable method of dealing with the likes of Grandmaster Sub's Ice Clone. Stunt Double was his only reliable method of beating it. Otherwise he needed meter to armor through and etc. Fun times.
naaah man, SD has always been stronger than fisti and considered just as strong as A-list by some monster truck damage, silly corner carry challenging EX rising shadow is a straight up mistake; pre patch it was plus enough to jail a jump-in punch; post patch it's a bit more finnicky, but still can be jailed from - and it has always been and stayed a launcher, which is what created the infamous corner hard-to-block setup)
What’s funny is I played A-List in MKX and did this with the less cheap version of the combo in the corner. It just made sense for juggling when I was lagging.
i actually love the way you did this vid, it was jilarious but informative. you can do this, you can do this. you can do this.. but then show it all after perfectly. in execution. but the way like you can do this, then this and that to this. and then reinforcing it just kind of gives those vibes of... im holding my controller a lot tighter just thinking about all this lol soo glad we still have you on this channel. lets get you up there FGC!
So for mk9. I found a cheap way to win as johnny on max difficulty, just hold B2 until it's fully charged and it does an unlockable attack which you can use to combo with. And don't worry about getting hit the CPU just stands there blocking lol

Mr. Dawg, I thank you for your consistent hard work, this right on the tails of your very well-done SF6 exposé. I ain't posted anything in over a month because of medical issues...
Couple ideas: Rank mortal Kombat Realationships. Or rank MK AI Art, What Concept of character you’d like to see in Mortal Kombat. I want to see a Knight type character preferably A Netherrealm Knight. Love your vids👏
One thing I didn’t see was A-list block pressure mkx. As an A-list main, the amount of pressure you can create with run cancels has gotten me so many quitalities.
Gotta love that move that guarantees that string, which guaranteeds that string, which guaranteed that string, which guarantees that string into the nut punch
yeah as someone who only played 9 (and every mk before) with friends and family without looking anything up I managed to realize knee kicks knee kicks was busted and boy, we banned him eventually because everyone would pick him, but before that my mom (avid casual mk player, so she's not your regular mom exactly but she's not like, labing combos and shit or even knowing terminology) not only would do knees into kicks into knees into x-ray punish into juggle into ball i think it was? every once in a while but she was the one that came up with it in our playing group, it wasn't just a masher does thing by luck situation, kinda shows you how you didn't need a rocket scientist to figure it out
you know who else did? playing tarkatan alien... how about making a video about playing the AI charecters and seeing there moves? see if they might be busted
Ima be completely honest. In mkx i personally prefer a list Jhonny. Its probably worse than fisticuffs but the pressure is pretty good and the run cancels are hype.
Sup Dawg! Here's a video idea for you! There's a game which seems that MK was influenced by and that most people don't know, which is World Heroes 1, a game that came out 2 months and some days before MK1 (let's remember that MK1 was made using filmed actors, which is faster and easier than making animations). World Heroes 1 has a blue ninja and a red ninja similar to Scorpion and Sub-Zero (Hanzo and Fuuma); it has a char that shows a cyber eye like Kano does ("Brocken", when his face gets... Broken, after a fight); a Bruce Lee/Liu Kang-like char with a flying kick as his signature special move (Dragon); one single female char that's blonde like Sonya (Janne); a stage with bald monks in the background in front of a chinese-style temple like in "The Courtyard" stage; a stage with *spikes* like "The Pit" (on its corners and in Deathmatch Mode, and maybe that "Death" part sparkled some ideas as well); and... *A final boss that morphs into all the other chars!* Those are all the ones I found, I don't know if there's more.

That’s totally a legit combo, all a fighting game is, is a test of memory and reflex
And his streak holds true in MK1..

4:45 "and he can end the combo with a nut punch"
4:52 "if he *has meter* he can do this"
Johnny Cage: "Game over... man"
_Said Cage to those who threw their controllers from his broken and cheap gimmicks_
I miss mk9 Johnny cage. He's what got me back into mk.
In Mk1 hes so annoying to fight. Everything he does is safe. Its never your turn.😂
if only he knew what mk1 would bring to the table
Omg Johnny on mk9 was my absolute favorite and made me love him forever.
Gotta love that move that guarantees that string, which guaranteeds that string, which guaranteed that string, which guarantees that string into the nut punch

This is a level of knowing the combat mechanics far above a level I have ever even considered.
Speedbag doesn't stop at nine, i tested it. It goes until you can't keep up.
“Which leads into this” should be put on a t shirt with johnny cages face
I don’t even need to read the title on the thumbnail. I’m a simple man. I see Johnny. I click.
All those "guarantees" and I didn't see a single one of them pulled off.
I want that on a shirt.
"He can do this string, which leads into this string, which guarantees this string which guarantees THIS string"
Yknow what would be fun? If they added Johnny cage into injustice 3. They already added Scorpion, Sub Zero and Raiden. Why not JC?
Yeah that would be cool
I rather Liu Kang
and people are still surprised he could hold his own against Shinnok
" I do ALL my own stunts " - Johnny Cage; I mean he has to prove himself somehow, fighting against what people call GODS and Ninja's xD
Not gonna lie hearing about this character makes me forgive how annoying scorpion can be in mk11.
Well this aged nicely
See you post a video: 😮 sees it’s Johnny cage: 😈
Underdawg, you know stunt double was the cheesiest variation of Johnny in X.

Stunt double cage is a major problem if you play against someone who knows what they doing!!
I love the rising star I hope its in the next game. It's one of his coolest moves besides his green force kick.
saw into the future
It's not a mk game but Dante from DMC 3,4,5 has claimed all my controllers
Yep
Uncaged gamez’s favorite video
Now i know why i was hated for use him on mk 9 online
Covering my favorite mortal Kombat character
Nice combos tho!!!!
That's probably why some of my controllers don't work
The parry X ray is crazzzyyyyy
I think that title belongs
More to scorpion but I feel you
Ima be completely honest. In mkx i personally prefer a list Jhonny. Its probably worse than fisticuffs but the pressure is pretty good and the run cancels are hype.
he wont have meter after his parry so you won't get another EX force ball so you're not going to get ALL the damage, but a lot of it.
gotta love the intro
I like they keep the concept of an annoying celebrity even in gameplay. Not sure about these specifics though.
I never ever broke a controller fighting cage
Me neither
Yup all those combos fits his arrogance.
Mk9 shao khan was my first controller break
Easy fight (mostly)
I like it how he it sounds like he’s a professor in college, teaching me how to kill my friends in the nether realms mk games.

I understood nut punch... but that's about it
Mk9 Johnny Cage was a menace to my Kung Lao 🤦♂️
He is even a Badass on Mk Mobile! Lol
I played V3 Johhny but I just preferred the force ball combo's in the corner
whoEver it was at nether realm that looked at johnny cages punch cycle animations in MK10 and thought "yeah that looks great" needs fired immediately
To be fair…damn near every character in MK9 was broken in their own way.
Which made it so fun to begin with
I personally broke a d pad on my dualshok training JC's fb cansel combos in mk11. So later I chose Kotal Kahn as a mane char))
Man now look at him in MK1
I remember getting spammed to death by the balls in mk11
lol. all you have to do is duck. why would anyone stand in one spot
Most overpowered variants of each character in MKX
In mkx I remember when djt did that to sonicfox it was crazy
wait what i thought Cetrion is the one who broke not only alot of controllers, but also monitors...
Still no mk12 reveal 😭😭
