Long start up on activation, which can be punished with long combos and honestly you're opening yourself up to even fill the bar. If anything it needs to get stronger
@@ernestofelix6734 eh he still looks handsome alongside the other characters who also got a redesign, which fits him (Although you won’t see him as Johnny Cage at first glance)
@@DeadRinger4490 That's sick. Hopefully the movement speed will be improved and I'd say the gameplay would be near perfect. This game is shaping to be Netherrelm's best work yet
I'm glad they kept Johnny Cages character and cockiness in tact. They kept the same voice actor as well, im very pleased my boy is still rockin like he should.
Mortal Kombat characters are iconic for this reason. You have the cool looking ninjas, a femme fatale, and of course the one and only obnoxious Johnny Cage.
When someone has decided to take Johnny's green magic away, he should do the same with other green magic characters (like Shao Kahn) for example. Just be fair.
Looks like the finally abandoned johnny mystery green orb that no one can properly explain or commit to wtf it is (besides that one ending saying he was decentent of some warrior race blah blah)
They're so obsessed with bringing dead characters back and making them work within story, that they've created absolute mess of continuity. They've already rebooted story, only to reboot it again three installments later. Idk why they can't make new story without dead, legacy characters, I'm not saying get rid of them, quite contrary, they should be present at the select screen in multi-player mode. But the story should go on without them.
Seeing all these people hype for this game like its something fresh and new is baffling. This looks like the same Mortal Kombat we been getting for years. Its time for a damn revamp

Looks like reskinned Injustice 2 enhanced with gore and assist
Looks like mk11 with assists. Where is the reboot?
Uhm... What?! What are you smoking?!
Looks like how it did when NRS was Midway games
Johnny without green glow will take some getting used to
He probably hasn’t discovered them yet
Yeah, don't forget, get he is on earth. It's a lot harder for him to unlock his power.

I'm glad they kept Johnny Cages character and cockiness in tact. They kept the same voice actor as well, im very pleased my boy is still rockin like he should.
He might have lost the green glow, but he's still as cool as ever with more drip. Love Johnny Cage my main ❤❤❤😊
Bro the blood and gunk on the floor, on the kombatants, the camera moves. So smooth.
Cage looks really dope without the power
He's always been dope with or without it.
BTW: MK1 (1992) just has after images or Ghosting for his powers.
I'm more excited for this one than ive been for the last two and Idk why.
This looks phenomenal even at 1080p
Mortal Kombat characters are iconic for this reason. You have the cool looking ninjas, a femme fatale, and of course the one and only obnoxious Johnny Cage.
Gotta love that classic Johnny attitude
That upper cut at the end was my entire childhood
They made teabagging an actual mechanic for Johnny's hype meter, that's pretty funny
This game looks gorgeous
So this is like MK11 with something like a MVC1 side character tag mechanics. Looks awesome btw.
1:33 Scorpion got kicked with no contact
Great catch
NRS weird hitbox.
Hollywood magic
Bolywood movie be like:
Is like tekken where the character get punched in the leg and the entire body continue in the air
Bro Johnny is CRACKED 🔥🔥🔥
China will crush this tired, evil American empire
02:11 HE DODGED THE SPEAR WITH TAUNT , ain't no way
The move where Kung Lao bring Johnny thru the portal wit him >>>>
Goddamn, this looks next-level!
Looks awesome. Scorpion looks a bit off though whith his new stance
That scorpion throw was fire
Cage might finally be fun to play as.
Especially with the Jean Claude Van Damme skin
Tô me he was always fun to play. Now he's much more fun
Cage was always awesome
The only employees at IGN that give solid reviews.
Why do the animation feel so slow
This feels incredibly slow and floaty. I'll wait for reviews.
They sound like they’re reading a script. It’s not authentic reaction
Johnny Cage looks like Michael Cera in the Thumbnail
There is some awesome polish on this game.
Kung Lao hitting Scorpion and Cage recording it on his cellphone hahah @2:45
Why Johnny's face look so weird? In MK11 it looked great!
It will get better, this is an old build
3:09-3:13 Well, Johnny smiling in this one was very creepy and scarier. Even Joker would scared him 😆
0:09 ok that means that according to the First Story trailer, there will be Single Player mode
Obviously?
Why does mortal Kombat 9 fighting look so much more fluid than this or any other MK for that matter
3:12 funny, Johnny cage broke scorpion's rib cage
Hmm.. Thought he was supposed to look like Jean Claude Van Damme?
This is the best Johnny has ever looked!
he is...but still looks goofy in some way...idk whys so hard to make him cool AND goodlooking.
The Camera angle on Scorpions grab *chefs Kiss*
Is it me Or there are others who feel Johnny's face was much better in MK 11 than in MK 1.
For real
Strongly disagree
Because you first time seeing remodel for Johnny
That kick at the end of the combo at 1:38 reminded me of neo from the first matrix movie.
Speaking of Matrix...Johnny kind of looks like agent Smith in the thumbnail.
Thats for sure a reference to van Damme
Johnny honestly looks so much better in this game, I've never had interest in playing johnny until now
He's packed to the brim with character
3:10 bro this looks sick
When someone has decided to take Johnny's green magic away, he should do the same with other green magic characters (like Shao Kahn) for example. Just be fair.
Not really. He doesn’t have powers in this new timeline it’s not that he still has them and just doesn’t have a glow
This game us based on MK1. So a majority of the base roster will be from the Midway era. That also means Johnny dosen't have his green glow powers yet

His outfit looks like Linden Ashby’s outfit from the movie
It looks like a fun time, but has anyone else noticed that Cage in the thumbnail looks a little like Michael Cera? 😅

You cannot convince me Johnny Cage isn't the best guy ever!

Where's Cage's green magic??
They took it away he more grounded *no magic
maybe he never training about this
When Liu Kang reset everything he lost it, it's possible he will get it back in a future game cause he had to learn how to use it
@@soulreaver6546 he always had it but in this timeline they said he does not have it at all
@@TK-cl5jx he does not have it at all
Scorpion's lost the mystique and evil look he used to have. Now he just looks like a dude with a man bun.
Lol fr wtf…
The stage reminds me of Tony Stark's Malibu house.
Darn Johnny Cage has unique feature himself! XD
But Scorpion returned again with his yelling spear.
Looks like the finally abandoned johnny mystery green orb that no one can properly explain or commit to wtf it is (besides that one ending saying he was decentent of some warrior race blah blah)
Mediterraneans used to breed warriors with green powers specifically to kill gods
Except now they gave him that new blurry particle effect that makes him look like he has super speed. It's worse.
It's an afterimage effect
So this is like a reboot?? Are we not getting anymore original MK games??
