A.B.A vs. Johnny

[Moroha]

A.B.A vs. Johnny Japanese ranking: 6-4 A.B.A Johnny requires a bit of patience to fight against. Don't be tempted to spam Danzai against him (or anyone, for that matter) during his pressure. Sure, you might armor through the coin, but you won't armor through the 6HS that's about to cut your face. Save your Danzais for high anti-air (Use 6P for lower stuff like IADs). Johnny's hop around air game is big LOLs for ABA. It's a guessing game between him doing an actual normal or using the cheesestick. If you try to 6P the normal, you'll combo him, but if you try to 6P the cheesestick, you'll get caught. Danzai doesn't give a shit what he does, it just wins. It's like telling Johnny to pick one of two doors. He picks door #1 and there's an ABA behind it who punches him in the face. But Door #2 also had an ABA behind it waiting to punch him in the face too. Johnny has a tough time in the neutral game vs ABA as well, having to deal with 5HS, 2D, 2S, 6P, and the dreaded f.S. Johnny has to believe in his 6P to get the hit vs ABA's j.HS, but it can definitely beat it cleanly. Don't feel like you really need to jump in on Johnny to get to him, because you CAN approach him from the ground. You have the range and speed to do it. Also, when he's pressuring you, watch for the Ensenga and Dust, it's about the only things that should catch you, and they're both very possible to react to. Don't try 2Ping him out of his funny hop forward -> throw setups, just take your free Danzai combo. Johnny is the most annoying person in the cast to combo for you. 6HS -> j.S, j.HS, j.D <- doesn't seem to work very well at all, and 2HS -> IAD j.S, j.HS, Orbs <- seems to whiff a lot. After Rekkas FRC I tend to just go 2K 6P (2hit) 2S sj Air Combo, or 2K 5S 2S Butt, 5S 2S Butt, 5P 5S 2S j.D Orbs.

I actually don't mind combos on Johnny so much. In the corner, after a Rekka FRC, you can just use 2K-5S-2S xx double keygrab. This also works on Potemkin, though there are much better ways to land that on him. From a throw in the corner, you can perform 5S-2S xx Butt, 5S-2S xx double keygrab. And I *think* the 6H combo works fine if you let it hit both times first, but don't quote me on that.

I hear you seth...comboing Johnny just feels like a....wasted opportunity lol. Also Johnny is very tall, so similar to Slayer he can't deal with your fuzzy guards.

[Josh Ballard]

Oh yeah another good corner combo on Johnny: 5S-2H, wait until he reaches the peak, 2S-Butt, 5S-2S-double keygrab
