Matchup Overview

Johnny is generally considered to be the best character in Xrd because of his high potential reward and ability to pressure reset off any hit due to Mist Finer. Despite this, Slayer fares decently against Johnny since Dandy Step can reliably whiff punish some pokes and BDC jump is a relatively low risk gamble out of his pressure. Slayer's ability to be slippery can put pressure on Johnny's coin count, which Johnny relies on to maintain the threat of leveled up Mist Finer.

  • Mist Finer (214P/K/S) is Johnny's ace in any matchup.
  • Mist Cancel (Mist Finer Stance > H) turns all of his S and H normals into amazing frame traps and combo starters.
