Spreading the gospel of coinman has been rough in recent months. Between Mizuumi cutting the GG wiki on "plenty of notice" and Youtube uploads of various combo videos getting taken down, it seemed like the stars were aligning to discourage new Johnny players.
However, I was able to scour Yahoo for a cache of the old Johnny page (Google didn't have it, go figure) which will now be transcribed on the new Dustloop wiki; and for whatever reason, one of the accounts that had the best AC Johnny combo videos came back up after a few months of copyright infringement-induced time out.
So, at least for the time being, new Johnny players can watch this playlist on Youtube that I've made to make it easier than ever to learn Johnny. The goal of this playlist is to only contain relevant/recent videos; in other words, to prevent new players from picking up Day 1 strategies and combos.

KOF Training: Month 2
I might not be so bad at this game anymore.
It started when I played against a Kensou player in XIII. I lost all of our matches, but afterwards he told me that if I had used anti-air 5A more, I probably could have won.
That's when it clicked: I had been ignoring tools that I had previously taken for granted.
Forgetting obvious shit is probably the most frustrating wall you can hit as a player; when you over commit to 2C/DP when you could have 5A'd, when you hyper hop for a safe jump setup only to get hit because you're supposed to short hop, etc. I guess that's what happens when you focus on improving one aspect of your game for too long. But once you sit down and re-evaluate how you're playing, you realize just how easy it is to get better.
At this point, most of my losses in XIII are due to not having any matchup experience. I'm losing to people who aren't any better than I am when I should be destroying them. So, I'm gonna make it to Southtown one of these days. Keep an eye out, you may even see me on stream.
