I had this video stored on my PC for so long....Finally was able to finish editing it. Sit down, relax, and grab some popcorn! This video is longer than I ever had on the channel. But I hope you enjoy the learning process and journey I have gone thorough the video. What character should I try out next?
I love Johnny so much in this game. Like you say he's flashy, stylish, just very fun overall. I'm also a Johnny loyalist, so I'll always use him even if he gets nerfed :3
@@MadDoggGames yeah I also didn't like how Johnny was in mk11. Like he looked good in terms of design, but his gameplay wasn't really clicking with me. So I'm really happy with what they did with him for MK1. Like you say, it just sort of reminds me of MKX days :3
Best thing to do is if you feel like you have to force yourself to get on don’t. Helps you not get burnt out so much also try practicing characters moves you can counter with your own and videos like these. I do wish they put more content in the game tho and less micro transactions. The isn’t perfect but it’s not terrible either
I love your bread and butter combo guides and I owe you half of my online wins. I have to ask you to make one on geras since he’s my favorite character! Keep it up!
i really love the synth/retrowave music you use in the videos. It gives the training montages the PERFECT vibe and makes the video feel a lot more narrative driven.
Glad you like them! I defiantly enjoyed the music too! Its going to be a staple for my montages now. Just uploaded Sindel 7 Days Challenge. Check it out too!
I picked him up because of this video. Hes a strike throw character. Sometimes i find myself not being able to open people up. His overhead and low string are reactable. But he is still very fun imo. Good video.
Nice, and yes strike throw is a gameplay/strategy. But he is still Rushdown archetype. It is the annoying part and you have to use kameos to help with that. I still like to come play Johnny Cage again after all this time.
Hey you think you could do this video format? Tbh it works for you a lot, makes the experience less daunting because people really do think the youtubers never lose online. You ran into the exact same problems as everyone else, and that was more fun to watch than the end yk?
I do plan to bring this series as the main content on the channel. Its a more doable type of content for me right now since I dont have much time anymore for youtube. Just play for fun you know and then talk about my experience learning a character. I enjoyed this series from another game on UA-cam so i wanted to bring this type of content to the fighting game genre.
After watching this video, I don't actually think Johnny/Sektor is as bad of a team as I thought they were. Obviously it isn't optimal but they ain't actually a bad team. I wonder what the ACTUAL worst kameos to use with Johnny are. I'd kind of assume it is probably Johnny/Scorpion, or Johnny/Jax (Maybe Tremor to). An interesting video idea for the future is to try and learn Johnnys WORST kameos and take them to online
I think you could've tried sub zero to build easy hype once they're frozen, and go for the hype combos as much as you like. I think sub zero gives less support to Johnny compared to sektor while considering combos. I remember the highest I've gone with Johnny Sub is 450, I think you touch 500 in a corner combo Needless to say, an awesome video! I really needed the pro stats and watching you whiff your combos was fun ngl lol
12:15 100% thats how i feel when i go online w. actual players who know how to only block the whole time orrr obviously they love to use Guard Break , like i can never do a full combo unless they literally OPEN UP & HAVE NO BARS AT ALL
Always use attacks that you know will get them up fast but slow enough for safety and fast enough to hit them to land them into a combo and use the tele-punch for a small Ariel combo
@@QU141.I don’t think Johnny Cage was broken. But Cyrax was the issue that made him stupid. He is more normalized so he isn’t considered Top 3 anymore.
Im a Johny main and at start i used to play seerena then kano and then Kung lao but using them i didnt feel the fun and now in using sub zero and ist just perfect
I'm currently using Johnny and Sonya atm and it's not a bad combo. Considering that most of Johnny's strings are combo starting launchers, Sonya does a great job at extending it in the air than on the ground. I rarely spend the bar on his specials only for certain situations and not in the middle of a combo which is why I don't do Johnny and Kano. I practiced that combo but I would never do it in a real match as that's just too much of a hassle. Plus, I can mess up so bad going from Standing 4 to Hype Meter because I might input it incorrectly and get F4 or 44. Though I haven't done this in a match, I like doing Johnny's B2 then Hype because it gives me that time to breathe. I've done that with Sub Zero and there's even a combo challenge in Johnny's section that has you doing B2 after Jax's Close Back Break. I haven't done that same technique after Sonya's Square Wave but I will give it a shot.
johnny and janet is a dub combo imo, the mix up's and restands CARRY them, it makes johnny's lost frames not even noticeable with janet,. Even with her F4 in her the stance its a GREAT combo extender
the frame data you use in the video isnt accurate to current MK 1, some of his attacks got changed to mid and frames got slowe. (ik the recordin of the video is a bit dated :p jus wanted to point it out)
Brain dead characters list: 1. Johnny cage, pressure with plus frames and mix ups then back dash to get an easy whiff punish 2. Malina, spam pokes and kicks then overhead for free damage then spam teleport and range from afar 3. Smoke and baraka, I grouped them together because they both have the same problem, their combos are literally just spamming special moves and usually take no skill to perform
I think if you can get them crouch locked you can get the overhead with Johnny to put in combos and use sektor flame assist to restance them if you hit it right
@@siredquinn ohh yes I do plan on covering him, but I think i will do ermac first since he looks more fun. Thanks for supporting the video, I appreciate it and giving me a recommendation
Johnny is the coolest and most fun character to play in this game, my favorite character in MK, but this Kameo system is the main reason why I never touched this game, I simply hate this type of mechanic with all my heart.
Hey maddogggames why are you not making more videos as often i love your vids and how you break it down it really helps with improvement on our journey you should stay more consistent with videos content
I appreciate that you enjoy my content. Unfortunately UA-cam is not a priority for me anymore. It does not pay the bills and now that I am getting older I do need an actual career. When I graduated college 2 years ago, my family and I started a construction remodeling business. So I had to step in and help managing it. Everything from sales, ads, estimates, labor, hiring employees and actually getting projects done is not easy. At this point getting projects that are 10k-20k is our goal. So I am having to work 6 days a week, doing everything including labor, I am burnt out at the end of the day. So I don't have time for UA-cam where I can edit/record or even play. When I was at school at had so much free time. but now i have to help manage actual projects, create relationship with clients and communicate. Im sad tho because I tried to build something here on UA-cam but it never got anywhere. So now I do it for fun or when i have free time.
You get different levels of progress for different wins, basically you lose more for losing to lower ranks and earn more for beating higher ones… everyone has close to 50/50 win % but it’s how and who you lose to…. An elder god with a higher loss than win % probably loses matches here and there to only higher ranks but never chokes matches to spammy casuals… when you lose to casuals more at lower ranks it’s stops your progress more than a loss to a player with higher rank
Yea to me cyrax is number 1 and he would’ve done better in pubs then sektor oh and by the way you should make some more johnny cage vids your actually pretty good but learn some cyrax and melock is a good cyrax user so for help watch him
yo man i think if mike trollinski can hit EG you deffinetly can i mean respect for mike and hes good but he fr is not the best player prove me wrong by collabing with mike on 1v1 if he wants :d
The business doing good this year, we made big deals and profits. Now the thing is we cant stop because the moment we stop and relax, that is more opportunities that we are passing up. Gotta keep grinding and growing
@@MadDoggGamesI have a quick question will you ever finish the li Mei bread and butter combo cause I’m kinda stuck on it I was able to do it now I’m not lol
@@AuContraireMonFraireit has to be. Even his party is still usable as long as you know gaps. Now you have to think about how to use it and that’s not so bad tbh

At the end of the day, you found out nobody likes Johnny players, and despite what youve been told, he IS broken.
The pokes into mind games reminds me exactly how i used to play sub zero in mk11, nice man!
thanks man, I do miss that aspect of character in MK11. There are a lot of stubby normals here in Mk1.
I SPEND 7 DAYS LEARNING GERAS TO PROVE HE IS UNDERRATED! Video is now up! ua-cam.com/video/u1ZLmlf0ink/v-deo.htmlsi=QPNUn0YcJFG3i19C

could we get a homelander vid soon? really struggling with him rn
Maybe, it all depends how creative I can make my video for him and if I have time to play.
Do this with Kenshi
I know I’m not a good mk player cuz I barley know anything he was talking about😅
Good video brody
Glad you enjoyed
I think if you can get them crouch locked you can get the overhead with Johnny to put in combos and use sektor flame assist to restance them if you hit it right
How do u do combos so easy what do u use do u use keypads or jousitck

Can you please do a video on homelander??
