"Beating Johann" , posted Mon 11 Nov 10:48

I got this off of a thread in GameFAQs, major props to Xterminator and crew for figuring this out.

I haven't tested this with all characters, but it's worked so far for Billy/Lynn, Pepe/Pupa, and Cassandra/Oni.

-If you have a projectile user on your team, have him/her get 3/4 or full screen distance from Johann. Throw out your projectile. When Johann rolls from it he will do either one of two things:

-Slash wave(no stock)
-Nightmare DM(stock)

In this case, time your forward roll so you go through the move. Should you succeed you can do whatever you want on him. And yes, this includes First Impact. Rinse and repeat till finished.

-For the non-projectile characters, you have to knock Johann down first. Each character should have a move to do so, like Pepe's HCB+Kick. Then jump at him before he gets up and do a jump kick. If timed right he will simply block the move and not counter you.

Now hit him with a hard punch or hard kick and cancel with a special attack. Rinse and repeat till finished.

-Cassandra has a nice little trick against Johann. Get him to build up his meter, then do + Strong kick. She'll teleport behind him, leaving him wide open as he does the counter. Quickly First Impact his butt.

Hope that helps. If anyone else has any strategies that work, feel free to post them.

Bad Anton!
