Are these Johnny highlights HYPE? (Guilty Gear XRD)

Johnny is THE prime example of what Sajam talked about for Top Tier Fatigue being a thing. It doesn't matter how cool the character is, how stylish he is, or how hard he is.. if a character is top tier enough, people will start to hate.

Johnny reminds me of a concept from MtG. In Magic there's what's referred to as "fair" or "unfair" decks. Fair decks play the game basically as intended, they use creatures and spells to eventually reduce your life to zero. Unfair decks have some alternative gameplan to win, either an infinite combo, or discarding a huge creature to reanimate for cheap, or making their opponent completely unable to play . But, at least in this usage, "fairness" has nothing to do with powerlevel. You can have terrible unfair decks and completely broken fair decks. Johnny has always struck me as an Overpowered Fair Character, if that makes any sense. For an Arcsys top tier, he's actually really... standard. He's got massive hitboxes, fantastic frame data and enormous and stable damage, but the only really wacky thing he does is the unblockable, which at least for classic Arcsys is on the lower end of crazy shit. He doesn't put invisible traps on the screen or ignore blockstun or autoblock everything or ToD you at round start. He's not even really that good at mix compared to most of the rest of the cast, you'll never get reset 3 times into death or forced to block multiple unseeable high/low/left/rights or anything. He just wins neutral by default, does unchallengeable pressure and then kills you when you eventually make a mistake. And he looks extremely cool while doing it. He's been on top long enough that a nerf is definitely deserved, but of all the characters in Xrd Johnny is one of the ones that I would mind being the best the least. In the alternate universe where Ram and Johnny switched positions the game is much worse off.

can't wait for 11 minutes of set play into unblockable confirm. let's go.

Baiken: she looks cool and people hate her. Johny:he looks cool and people hate him. Slayer:He looks cool and people dont like him.

I'm surprised it wasn't on there, but for anybody wanting an incredibly silly Johnny clip, Karinchu has a really good one in 'GGXrdR 12/29/16 - Karinchu (Johnny) vs Victims Part 1/2' on mdesilva's channel at around 37:45.

Johnny is my favorite character in this game I'm sure I'll love this

4:10 "Again, me getting ducked. You love to see it." I genuinely spat out some of my apple compote, that deadpan enthusiasm on the delivery made me laugh so hard!

New outro screen clean af.

Oh shit new outro for lk. im liking it

I'd love to hear the difference between xrd and +R Johnny honestly. There seems to be a huge gap in viability

I'm ready to watch Omito and Kv clips with LK. Hopefully I figure out some more notable Johnny players

i love it when im watching my fav show n my past self makes a cameo 👌

Shoutout to the headset.

"I know I'm godlike because I lose to godlike players"

I asked Peppery a while back about why he switched to Venom, to which he replied "i just think he's more interesting" Which is 100% true no cap

I'm hoping that at some point LK will post a "Real Millia Highlights" video and either make it super memey, or post full vods.

Cant wait to see this in gloripus strive quality

Johnny is the greatest fighting game character of all time. No bias ;). fucking love johnny. Just grind the lab and be rewarded for it.

I miss playing 4r5 back at old Xanadu :(

Johnny’s honestly kinda fun to play
