Post subject: The Johnny Cage Nut Punch |
 |
| |
Is there any specific reason they got rid of most of his moves, including the shadow uppercut which puts him in the air and just looks cool and the infamous nut punch? I loved that move in MK2. Just nitpicking if you want to know. He just seems a little watered down now. and what about the 180 kick thing. They should give his moves to a new guy in MK8 just to have a nut punch, or is that move politically incorrect?

I don't think Johnny Cage had a Windmill kick. The Windmill Kick was used by Kobra, if that's what you're talking about.

I belive he is refering to the kick in Cage's first fighting style that pop's the enemey to the air.
And I too missed those moves, and often complained about them not being in, mostly his nut punch. Classic Cage is nothing with out it.

Yeah, it's like they're trying to get him to mature since he's representing 'good', with Kang's zombization (hope y'all like that word, made it myself). A character's a character, but perhaps after dying you may go through a few life changes. I don't like it anymore than you do, unless you actually don't like it, 'cause honestly, I was never a huge Cager to begin with.

I was never really a fan of Cage, or very good with him either.
But I do miss his nut punch and I did also like his shadow uppercut, I can see them taking away the shadow uppercut just because he has the kick and the move can go to someone else (changed a little bit of course) but what I dont get is why they took the nut punch out, I remember when I was younger and all us kids were playing MK1 we all talked about our fav characters, moves, fatalities and whatnot, and everyone loved the nut punch....
I wish I could find out why it was takin out.... if there is even a reason, maybe the mk team just wanted to go with new moves? I dunno.

I too miss the old nut cracker move. I never really put time into using Cage and didnt realize that move wasnt implemented in his arsenal of specials.
No more uppercut eh?
Hmm... but why?

I think it's 'cause the MK team just thought of it as a joke, and thus after Alliance (the last game with permanent character jokes=Bo' Rai Cho), no one had joke moves anymore...and Cage was cleaned up.

I didnt really think of it like that, thats a good theory on it Mr.Krave!
but, I dont think Cage had the nut punch move in MK4 either.... Tho, I do like your idea, seems to be a solid thot on why it is gone.

Yeah, Cage had the Nut Punch in MK 4. He didn't have it, however, in MK Trilogy, he did not have the Nut Punch. I believe they replaced that with a Red Shadow Kick because it says in the Move List that he had a Green Shadow Kick and a Red Shadow Kick.
