#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

- Has invulnerability when performed as a Getup or Reversal

- Cooldown: 2 Second Delay + 10 Second Recharge Speed = 12 Seconds Total

Janet's "Nut Punch" attack, Restands the opponent on an Airborne Hit and is primarily used as a combo ender due to its high Hit Advantage, useful for characters with strong Overhead-Low mixups like Noob Saibot or Havik

Better than most Kameo Reversals because of Janet's low hurtbox on startup, range and its safety On Block, useful against mid ranged attacks like the ones in Ferra's Torr Stance

- Absorbs Attacks (can take up to 9% damage before retreating)

- Retreats After 45 Frames (0.75 seconds) Without Holding

- Cooldown: 1 Second Delay + 10 Second Recharge Speed + Held Duration = 11/21 Seconds Total

Janet puts herself between the Point Character and their opponent acting as a temporary wall until she retreats, she can tank either 3 attacks or a single attack that does >9% damage before going away, that or she automatically goes away after 0.75-10 seconds

Because of it being a Summon it can be hard to use in neutral, making it mainly useful for characters that can put the opponent behind Janet to temporarily trap them in a makeshift corner, it can also be used to limit movement in the actual corner as it would not allow the opponent to dash or attack through

Useful with characters like Quan Chi, Geras, Noob Saibot and Cyrax

"Close" version of Janet's only Ambush, extends combos and can be used in setups because of it's long juggle time, Triple version is used to combo off Throws and Synchronized Attacks while the Single and Double versions are used to minimize Janet's time on screen for better repeated use possibilities

To repeatedly do the move you must input Back+Kameo alongside every jump Janet does, only hits Airborne opponents

- Enters Stunt Double Stance

- Gives Janet Access To Stunt Double Attacks

- Press Forward/Back To Reposition Janet

- Hold Block To Let Janet Move Independently From Point Character

- Cooldown: 20 Second Delay + 20 Second Recharge Speed = 40 Seconds Total (Not Taking SD Attacks and Splits Into Account)

Janet becomes a "Puppet" that the player can independently control as if she was a 2nd character, this gives her access to a plethora of new mixups, combo extensions, extended blockstrings and zoning options

Kameo Meter will continously drain at 5% Meter Per Second (with the added drain from SD Attacks) until it is fully empty, at which point Janet will leave the screen and Kameo Meter will start to refill

You can buffer Janet's attacks during the startup of the activation so that she will inmidiately do them as soon as she recovers (slightly before you do)

The activation has a long recovery time so be creative when finding setup combos to it and maximize your Hit Advantage at the end of them to secure plus frames

- Mash 1 Repeatedly To Spam This Move

"Caged And Konfused" outclasses "Jane Diere" in nearly every single way, only advantatge the latter has over the former is its lower hitbox making it easier to land on Crouch Blocking opponents

So only use it for Extended Blockstrings

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.16 Kameo Meter Each Use

- Mash 2 Repeatedly To Spam This Move

The better alternative to "Jane Diere" as it does higher damage, can Anti-Air and it vacuums opponents on an Airborne Hit

So use it to catch jumpers or to extend Juggles and Grounded Combos

A long-ranged Mid strike, used to extend Grounded Combos and blockstrings, catch opponents trying to Low Profile out of pressure and just to keep the opponeng in check during neutral

- Drains 0.16 Kameo Meter Each Use

A short-ranged vertical strike, able to Anti-Air and extend Juggle Combos, also used sometimes during Armour Break sequences or to guarantee a Combo Reset

The odd hitbox angle makes it hard to use when you're not in the corner or your opponent isn't sandwiched between you and Janet

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.33 Kameo Meter Each Use

Janet's only projectile move, used a lot in situations where Janet is far away from the Point Character and/or their opponent to zone or keep the Point Character safe, because of its high Hit Advantage it can also turn moves Punisheable On Hit

Because of its high Kameo Meter cost it's recommended to keep Forceballs to a minimum or to use "Splits" right after them

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.33 Kameo Meter Each Use

Probably the worst move in Janet's arsenal, a slow advancing High Launcher that only serves as combo fodder

Its slow speed, high cost, mediocre damage and low launch angle makes it worse at nearly every single function compared to other moves, the only advantage it has besides looking cool is that it doesn't scale as badly as the other combo extender moves meaning you can sneak it in the middle or end of combos for extra damage

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.25 Kameo Meter Each Use

A slow high damage launcher, this move may seem like just a worse version of "Roundhouse" at a first glance but it has some things going for it

The higher launch angle and lower Gravity Scaling make it good to use after high recovery attacks such as Shove or some projectiles, it is also useful for setting up Sandwich situations because of the increased Air Time compared to "Roundhouse" and "Box Office Bomb"

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.25 Kameo Meter Each Use

Janet's main mixup tool, used to set up Overhead-Low Hard To Block situations where her Sweep and the Point Character's Overhead hit simultanously, depending on the order of the HTB it can also turn most mixups safe/plus due to its high Block Advantage

This move can also turn into a Pseudo-Launcher because the opponent has a long amount of Air Time when hit, letting Point Characters combo after long recovery moves if it's timed well, however it is only recommended to use it this way if there's a mixup attatched

- Only During Stunt Double

- Drains 0.25 Kameo Meter Each Use

A quick high damage launcher, its speed and launch angle allow it to let Point Characters combo off of nearly any move consistently up close on top of allowing repeated uses in combos

It is Janet's main button used in Armour Break and Simultaneous Hit setups, which allows her to rack up veey high amounts of damage very quickly

- Only During Stunt Double

- Replenishes 0.5 Kameo Meter Each Used

- Can Only Be Used Up To 3 Times Per Stunt Double Session

Janet temporarily disengages to recharge 0.5 Kameo Meter, this move has very slow recovery so it's imperative for you to find combos long enough for her to use this move one or more times while still letting her extend them

As this move increases Stunt Double time up to around 40 seconds or higher, you should always be looking for openings in which to use it, but this may be harder or easier to do depending on how long your attack animations are

Characters with long animation moves like Ermac, Havik, Kitana, Mileena and Nitara all have the most opportunities to use this move while characters like Omni-Man, Reiko, and Johnny will find it harder to use this move

+A slow high damage launcher, this move may seem like just a worse version of "Roundhouse" at a first glance but it has some things going for it
+The higher launch angle and lower Gravity Scaling make it good to use after high recovery attacks such as Shove or some projectiles, it is also useful for setting up Sandwich situations because of the increased Air Time compared to "Roundhouse" and "Box Office Bomb"

+Janet's main mixup tool, used to set up Overhead-Low Hard To Block situations where her Sweep and the Point Character's Overhead hit simultanously, depending on the order of the HTB it can also turn most mixups safe/plus due to its high Block Advantage
+This move can also turn into a Pseudo-Launcher because the opponent has a long amount of Air Time when hit, letting Point Characters combo after long recovery moves if it's timed well, however it is only recommended to use it this way if there's a mixup attatched

+A quick high damage launcher, its speed and launch angle allow it to let Point Characters combo off of nearly any move consistently up close on top of allowing repeated uses in combos
+It is Janet's main button used in Armour Break and Simultaneous Hit setups, which allows her to rack up veey high amounts of damage very quickly

+'''- Can Only Be Used Up To 3 Times Per Stunt Double Session'''
+Janet temporarily disengages to recharge 0.5 Kameo Meter, this move has very slow recovery so it's imperative for you to find combos long enough for her to use this move one or more times while still letting her extend them
+As this move increases Stunt Double time up to around 40 seconds or higher, you should always be looking for openings in which to use it, but this may be harder or easier to do depending on how long your attack animations are
+Characters with long animation moves like Ermac, Havik, Kitana, Mileena and Nitara all have the most opportunities to use this move while characters like Omni-Man, Reiko, and Johnny will find it harder to use this move
