Cage (Kameo)

#MK1_Janet Cage (Kameo)

Introduction

"A martial arts superstar trained by great masters from around the world, Cage uses her talents on the big screen. Box-office champ and star of such movies as Dragon Fist and Dragon Fist II as well as the award-winning Sudden Violence." - Mortal Kombat (1992) in an alternate timeline?

Janet Cage, an alternate version of Johnny Cage from another timeline wielding a moveset inspired by his incarnation from the 1992 original, is a rushdown/puppet archetype that specializes in kombo extension, as well as pressure with a slight focus on space control (especially with her “Stunt Double” stance that allows any character to act as a “puppet character”).

Strengths

Weaknesses

Returning Character: Janet's moveset works well with the majority of characters as it has many options that are universally useful and as such a lot of characters run her as their Kameo Of Choice Extra Screentime: Janet's "Hop Punch" and "Hop Skip Punch" are the quintissential combo extender ambushes as they keep the opponent in the air for a long timer and rack up damage quickly Acting Range: Janet's varied moveset allows a low skill floor and high skill ceiling Reliable: Janet's recharges outside of Stunt Double are quicker than average and consistent, letting the player adapt consistently to when she's not available

Trying Too Hard: Mime Time and Stunt Double sport large recovery, meaning you might need to cut combos short to set then up Doesn't Add To The Plot: There is no way for Janet to add extra HitAdv or BlockAdv to your moves with a normal Ambush, a feature highly valuable in Rushdown Kameos
