Frost was literally made for Johhny Cage. She is exactly what he needs: low mixup into the combo, safe wakeup, and amazing pressure in the corner. You can also counter projectiles with frost, since she will freeze the enemy for a full combo in full screen, if eneemy throws something. She is a must.
Personally using Kano. Besides the combo extensions the beta showed us he can do, he's also good for keeping pressure. Using his knife toss while you back grab from off screen catches too many people off guard and Kano ball after going F+1 2 4 makes it plus on block. Plus Kano is usually my second main besides Johnny in Mortal Kombat so why not combine them?
I'm pretty sure its not optimal, but I've been using Darrius with Johnny. Two reasons. One. Swag with their sunglasses and built in combo moves just feels like something Johnny would click with. Two. While other Kameos can probably do this better, Darrius' assists allow Johnny to taunt outright and get even more hype than you would just doing the hype special command (If only with Hype command it takes 3 to max out, Darrius allows for Taunt, then a single Hype will fill entire meter.) It does depend on what Taunt Johnny does if its safe or not, but depending on the situation/matchup Darrius can lock an opponent out from trying to punish, because if they do, Darrius will either force a block or launch them and your free to choose to either fill the hype completely or juggle. In the block situation you can force an overhead and low at near the same time and it'll still launch if timed correctly from Johnny's B4 and Darrius' 3rd hit from either forward assist or regular one with forward extension. Downsides? Darrius' main assist costs all his assist bar which what will allow for extended combos, the swag or building the hype. As a result you won't have him coming out nearly as much as other Kameos or needing to choose between the situation or save for combo breaker. Like Johnny himself, Darrius also wants to be at close range, so he'll be useless against projectile heavy stuff. Darrius' main assist is also the only action he has that lets you act freely, the rest either lock you out of position from the moves or require the opponent to have been hit or blocked for his followups to potentially allow you to freely act and take advantage. Lastly, No true way to combo into hype activation with Darrius's assist. You can in the right moment but against anyone knowing what they're doing? I doubt you'll get the opportunity to do so without a little luck. Again pretty sure its not optimal, but I feel Darrius lets you get hype more often, but at the cost of not being able to consistently use it for a wombo combo, but rather threaten the opponent with more pressure or making normal combos just a little longer and restarting the hype again.
Thanks for this, these all seem like great options for someone who’s new to MK competitively with MK1 I definitely think these will be great options to explore I will probably end up using one of these as they seem to all have great synergy with Johnny in their own unique ways and I have always enjoyed the character but his hype meter mechanic combos are just that so hype.
Your welcome, I’m on Xbox Series X so, unless you own one and have the game for it we can’t play yet but, hopefully crossplay is added to the game soon as they did say after launch it would be added in but, they didn’t say when, as far as I know.
Sonya because, and these are Xbox inputs. Y, X, Y, Sonya air attack, jump, Y, B, B, Sonya again, air combo again. The downside is the meter drain but I love it to much to give up the combo. Now as for what I'm saying but using the move names. Dunkin on them haters, Square Wave, Star Wreaked, square wave again, star wreaked again. It's hard but you can also get a shadow kick out if you use it once.
I use motaro, his tail beam allows for air combos, plus is also a sick brutality (if u press down plus R1 and hold R1, motaro will let out 3 beams, causing their arms n head to explode). Sidenote: are they releasing Chameleon as DLC in the MK1 kombat pack, or was i tripping lol
@@onestep did u know that in johnnys fatal blow the camera has the error macro when it breaks. error macro is the original name of ermac it was a og mortal myth character. Did u know that johnny has a chance to say "I can do this all day" its what captain america said, in allmost every movie he was in.
@@onestep it’s usually a challenge since his combos are busted and lately there’s just been a high number new players playing cage. So just mainly been playing him over and over, match after match. Love the content, it really help me become a better player keep up the good work ✊

She’s great I agree 😎
Only issue is if you rely on her freeze move, it has a damage debuff or something because you do less damage for the same things
I used to use Frost until I found out Kung Lao does everything she does but better and safer
Sub Zero is better. Johnny already has overhead, low mixups on his own. That projectile immunity that sub has is a game changer
I was watching your Johnny Cage guide and this came out before I was even done with it 🙏
Ya love to see it 😎

Thats my kameo for him to

Great option! The wombo combo might be gone once you use darrius but the hype meter could def be more worth it!
along with every great reasons given, swag was prolly the best

I use jax for combo extension and unblock able stuff but yet it's your idea which to pick
I usually use cyrax. His back kameo gives you enough time to fill your entire hype meter.
Oh ya true! But that’s if it hits 😅
How about Stryker? Does he go well with Johnny? I just like Stryker so I wanna use him but I’m not sure how well these two go together
Ya he can be useful, ya just
Gotta mess with em and see how they feel. If they feel good they feel good 😎
@@onestepno way this man just replied to my comment in less than 5 minutes instant sub
@@convection20 I appreciate the support 🙏

I forgot to mention the fact she also has a projectile
Also a great choice! Thanks for the input!

It’s been leaked but not confirmed
My guy Kung Lao low hat +2 and JOHNNY have a overhead combo launcher and u can hold his low hat and he has a combo launcher for JOHNNY's low
Hell yeah 😎🔥
Best advice imo, dont do "hype" 3 times. Just do hype once than do glasses hype. WAY faster.
Nice tip 😎
Kano and Cyrax are must too
Also true 🔥
Cyrax fsho we ain’t playing Jonny for projectiles we play for plus frames
I respect it
I was thinking of trying Stryker because his arrest allows for a reset mixup and his nade throw allows for hype building and combo extension
Ya great idea!
I just use sektor cuz he is good with some combos and gives u a ranget attack
Nice addition!

kung lao for me
He’s a good choice too!
Cyrax is def the best choice you trippin ….
Ok 👍
How about now?
Most annoying character to go against 😂
Why’s that?

Nah that’s gotta be smoke and reiko imo
@@wyli1738The main players I see in Kombat league are Sub, Scorpion, Smoke, and Raiden.
@@wyli1738 reikos overhead is ridiculous
