Johnny 101 | Strategy, Combos, Overview and Advanced Tips 

Let me know if you guys want to see guides like this for the rest of S3 Guilty Gear by like and subbing to the video. My goal is to continually get better at guide making, so any feedback is appreciated as well

Super sick character breakdown. As an intermediate player it's hard to find a character breakdown that's not just "how to play strive". I really appreciate the fast, thorough breakdown of the characters strengths. Keep it up. ❤

Fighting games are so hard

Always appreciate how much work you put into these. Helps learn the character for use and counterplay

6K is really nice because you can condition people with empty dashes to think you're going for oki/setups just to kick them in the face and start a combo. JUST picked Johnny up and he's definitely one of my new favs.

Diaphone doing Strive will elevate the scene so much! Much needed ❤

Great job on the editing, it's really nice to see how far you've come with your guide-style videos!

Love the editing, it's always nice to have visual examples for what you're explaining and makes it easier to digest than just talking on training mode for minutes. This guides are getting better and better, keep it up 🗿💖

there's a meterless side switch combo c.S > 2H > 236HH (fastest possible timing) > 2K > 214S > 214K edit: after the 2K you can instead go for 6K > 214S for a safejump with iad j.H 6K > 214K for corner carry

This is great thank you sir 🙏! Love the new animated combo notations. Helps a lot with timing, timing windows, and explains delay more objectively. Thinking of maining Johnny. Very happy to see the GG content personally, but I honestly hope you continue to make content based on what you're most interested in. I'd imagine that's where a lot of the authenticity in your vids comes from. Definitely saving this video on my Strive playlist though

Hands down one of the best guides i've seen for a fighting game. The editing and examples throughout the video are well done. Thank you very much

I have been waiting on this! I haven’t had this much fun with a character in a long time!

Johnny straight up got me into this game I’m loving it

Your guides are very clean and concise thanks for this

Thanks so much man. Been grinding and learning Johnny and doing this plus Street Fighter has been keeping me in a fun vibe :)

Excellent guide for strategy and paced addition of skills. And the production is a cut above!

Diaphone has the best character guides on the Internet for real. I wish there was one for every character. DIAGOAT!

The alternative tk input really did the trick for me, thanks Dia 🔥

Another great guide! Johnny is sooooo sick.

Diaphone always with the best guides hands down. Thanks again! :)

Thanks for the highly detailed guide cant wait to try out mr bravo

Thanks for the guide !

Getting back into strive and seeing this is gonna make me wanna pick up johnny, dia you’re the goat!

Was looking forward to the johnny 101!! Knew you had us covered basedphone.

As always, clean guide, your editing gets better and better ❤ About frametraps, it's good to know that 2H and 6H naturally frametrap after c.S (although I haven't tested it out against 3 frame normals), and 6k after 5k, paired with Mist Finer cancels it makes his pressure real scary and quite easy to apply!

Gotta say this is a really good guide (i love the trasition with the cards for the different chapters) Just a couple of things I found out when watching Gobou playing Johnny: - K Deal can be used on oki with 6H to push the opponent into the corner. Simply do K deal after a HKD and then do 6H Dash K Mist Finer and still get the guard crash, only now you are much closer to the corner. - When you RC Ensenga or Deal after Vault on block for a mix-up you can do a fast RC into jP wich is very difficult to react to and you can do get a full combo from it by either doing a P or S Mist Finer (it's basically a double overhead or a overhead into low that's super fast and difficult to see) or you can hold either of the Mist Finers and either go for a throw or low, it's super good.

+1 nice content gamer, I like the visual examples of everything 👍

i hope i-no gets a new guide to go with her new move and combo routes from it

one of the best Johnny 101 | Strategy, Combos, Overview and Advanced Tips guides I found

Id love to see some more of this content for season 4

very clean guide. im still trying to get used to using wild assault with my characters (nago/faust/bed)

Excellent guide!! If you’re interested in doing a Bridget S3 guide, that would be awesome! But if it’s not really aligned with growing the channel, then no worries! Do whatever you think is best for you! 😊

For the people who like safejumps, easy ass combo is c.S 2H 214P 6K 214S into IAD j.H if you want to smoke the Leos who wakeup DP every single time 😊 because Leo reversal can sometimes reach you during card Oki where most other reversals will completely whiff.

great guide

i don’t even play strive but these videos are just interesting to watch

Thanks for the video! Please do I-no revisited soon.

Thank you

Amazing editing as always, Caste! It takes a lot of time to individually clip each of the examples but going that extra mile makes a big difference between Diaphone's guide videos and other people who do a long 60 minute one-take and upload the entire thing. It's both a lot more concise and also easier to understand when you can see the examples on screen while Diaphone is speaking. On top of that, the transitions and other effects are so cool and keep the video fun and entertaining.

Top tier contentcreator and top tier editor.

Why the edition so cracked tho Caste killing it out there fr

This busy dad thanks you for the flowchart install.

this kind of content is so refreshing when most other "content" creators just repost their stream highlights. good editing and useful information. would love to see more shorter videos in the vein of the drive rush jab video.

i do want to add that doing c.s into 2h on block IS throwable.. so if ur opponent notices thats ur favorite blockstring then u might be eating a throw ofc u can delay 2h to beat that but then u could get dp'd or smth.. u get the idea lol

your doing the vault card way late in the second combo, you can do it just after the apex of the arc of the opponent and its very forgiving, the only hard part of vault is getting card hkd wich is highly specific

Diaphone sharing the Johnny secret tech.

I saw you call back D “(something) shield”, what exactly does that do? Is that new from season 3 like wild assault or have I missed that this whole time?

JD can be used for air combos off of 236d charged to break wall

Yippieeee

does 5s 5h k mist finder still works i've been trying it out it doesn't seem to work when you need to dash with mist finder it only works for me when im close to the opponent

Can you explain how to do the tk mist finer more i depth. I can do it but it’s inconsistent if i get it or not.

mr phone killed it again

I wish you covered his oki a bit more

In the corner i do Sdeal and the card goes off screen, and then i do Pmist finer and it still hits even though its off screen.

K Deal card falls faster when it hits the wall so it might be better oki in the corner

Does the combo at 13:58 work on Ino? I can't catch her with the 2.HS after the 66 C.S

great vid! I have one slightly random question, but how do you connect H > HS into forward mist finer? I've been trying and can never get the MF to combo into the HS

Damn lemme go learn guilty gear slang then come back 😂

what are you supposed to do instead of dash blocking on johnny?

I see Gio alot while playing Johnny and I'm telling you, DO NO 5P. I REPEAT, *DO NOT 5P*

I just play Johnny cuz He's cool.

Sometimes I like to throw S card to jumpscare Millia players, but that's about it.

I gave Jhonny a fair test but he feels too stiff to me. I thought it was closer to my style but nope. I found very difficult getting in, it’s too reactive.

P card: peacock K card: King Fisher S card: shrike

S3 sin guide?

algorithmic

my one braincell told me about a mod that can make johnny into toji from jjk so im followin its orders XD

time to figure out how to just lean

When all else fails, just lean

Johnny could use some buffs, please buff Johnny

algorithm

Johnny sucks, but I like this video!

Why is his belt so fucking huge?

I wish Johnny was MY dad… not cause my dad sucks, he’s just not Johnny.

Strategy in strive lol baby game

I love the character, but I just hate fighting players that just spam MISTOFAYAH for the whole duration of the match, it just feels like fighting noobs that came from street fighter 6 and that were frustrated that the luke/ken drive impact/ex spam strategy didn't worked, so they just tried it on another game and hope it works or something.
