With 50% meter, his EX OD is a better overhead, anywhere. And I said "almost", not "completely". But, I doubt they're just going to straight give him his EX OD. But if they do I won't complain.
All Mist Cancels, recovery reduced by 1f
Johnny has a lot of multi 1f link combos that were on crouching hit only. These are now 2f links, for comparison, that's the standard FRC window. And these crouching only MC combos would now be doable on standing opponents, as 1f links.
Faster MC's = easier MC combos and more possible MC combos.
Faster dash = even more possible MC combos. (maybe)
Jackhound recovery increased from 35f to 45f, with no adjustment to float height. Sounds like Jackhound juggles are gone. MSJH stagger combos might aswell be look dead too, but MSDJH stagger combos remain unchanged. But with the new gatlings and faster MC and dash, I see MC combos taking the place of Jackhound combos.
Lv1 Up MF changes
more combos, but less damage
Lv2 Up MF changes
return of corner to corner carry combos?
Throw changes
The dashing jump midscreen 1-hit combos were a 1f link between the throw and the next hit. +3f on the untech time makes this a 3f link. Assuming hitting 1 or 2 frames later doesn't screw up the positioning for the 1-hit.
Only air DB getting groundbounce on CH sounds weird, but ok.
