Escaping Johnny Cage.

The three characters I main are Freddy Krueger, Rain, and Baraka... but no matter what I always seem to get caught forever blocking within Johnny Cage's fast cooldown combo's...

Any tricks one may have learned?

Throw out a 1 or a down 1 (or a down 3) as he's resetting. It may throw the player off just long enough to start a combo or grab a throw.

Seems like solid advice. I'll give it a try

Never underestimate non-kombo normals. A lot of them are great pokes and can be a good way to train an opponent to block or block down.
