Johnny Cage

Image:MK9-JohnnyCage_Face.jpg

There is no greater martial arts movie star than Johnny Cage. Films such as "Dragon Fist", "Time Smashers" and "Citizen Cage" have made him one of the most highly paid actors in Hollywood. But there is more to Johnny than even he knows. He is a descendant of an ancient Mediterranean cult who bred warriors for the gods -- warriors who possessed power beyond that of mortals. This legacy has made Johnny Cage a star. More important, it will aid him in the battle to come.

Move Analysis

Basic Attacks

Sweep

Frame advantage when blocked.


Uppercut

Fast uppercut speed. His uppercut range extends to cover over the top of his head and slightly behind him. From up close use it as anti air or versus cross up.


Command Normals

Rising Knee

Mid and fairly safe.


Axe Kick

Frame advantage on block. Mid launches if hit.


Pop Up

Mid launcher. Fairly safe but some can punish.


Kombo Attacks

Widescreen

Safe on block mid. Launches. Mix this up with Directors Cut string since it has a low ender.


Money Shot

Hits crouchers. On standing hit you have some advantage. Safe on block.


Cross Cutting

Advantage on hit.


That's The Ticket

Good mixup string, advantage on hit. Last hit overheads. Safe on block.


Special Attacks

Shadow Kick

Very fast special. Check people with it often. Punishable by block or crouching. Enhance goes thru projectiles and is fullscreen.


Flip Kick

Very fast special. Good anti-air and wakeup. Can be punished with a very fast special or fast uppercut.


Enhanced Special Attacks

Nutpunch

Has invincible frames. Still unsafe on block.


Double Low Ball

At up-close and on stand block Double Low Ball gives you frame advantage. Use this for mixup opportunity.


X-Ray Attack

Cage's Xray is a parry that will catch 99% of the moves in the game including up close projectiles. You can even parry other Xrays. VERY few Xrays actually beat Cage's. Some say that saving for Xray is crucial because it changes the tempo of the fight. Opponents have to be careful on what they do or they might catch the parry.


Beware that a whiffed parry is extremely punishable, so it's a gamble.
