Description

“You won’t need an encore after a show like mine.”

Relative to the rest of the cast, he’s “the normal one” -- and there’s noooooooo waaaaaaaaay that’ll cause problems in the near future for him. Anyway, Johnny’s a quick fighter with a slew of tricky moves -- but the core of his gameplay revolves around his magic sword, Low-Calibur. His speed and its power can make for an offense from two angles at once, and gaining momentum rewards Johnny with even stronger attacks. He’s got everything he needs to confuse his opponents, and then some.

But winning with Johnny -- or even using him effectively -- takes a lot of effort. He’s the only character whose Prime Gauge can be reduced by being attacked, whether it’s his sword or the man himself; if he can’t get anything started, then his damage on his own might not be enough to win a match. He doesn’t have much in the way of defensive tools, either, so his best bet is to either use his movement options to escape trouble, or avoid it entirely -- which is probably easier said than done. But when he’s on top of his game, he can lock his foes down at any range, in any position.

For anyone fighting him? Probably not a good situation to be in. But for Johnny? It’s a surefire way to make it to the Top 40! Because music or something!
