There is no greater martial arts movie star than JOHNNY CAGE. Films such as "Dragon Fist", "Time Smashers" and "Citizen Cage" have made him one of the most highly paid actors in Hollywood. But there is more to JOHNNY than even he knows. He is a descendant of an ancient Mediterranean cult who bred warriors for the gods -- warriors who possessed power beyond that of mortals. This legacy has made JOHNNY CAGE a star. More important, it will aid him in the battle to come.
Signature Moves
Green Shadow Kick: Improving on the speed of his Shadow Kick, Cage would move faster, and leave a green trail.
Red Shadow Kick: The fastest version of the Green Shadow Kick, which leaves a red trail. This is the enhanced version of the Shadow Kick in MK 2011 and is called Eclipse Kick, and has increased range and damage, together with Johnny saying Cage! after the move is done.
Plasmic Fireball: This fireball curved upwards, and would remain Cage's standard projectile. In Deadly Alliance the screen shakes if the projectile hit the opponent, while in Armageddon the screen will not shake. In MK 2011 this is called a Forceball and can have a high arc or low arc.
The enhanced versions are Double Low Ball and Double High Ball. On either one of these, Johnny fires a second ball in a straight direction at his opponent.
High Green Orb: A higher version of the curved fireball.
Nut Breaker: One of Cage's most memorable moves where he does the splits and punches the opponent in the groin. Initially this only worked on male fighters. Available in both Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and Mortal Kombat 2011, it can be performed on both male fighters and female fighters.
* The enhanced version is called Nutcracker and turns Cage's fist green with energy.
Green Shadow Uppercut: Cage would leap into the air and deliver an uppercut with his elbow which launched his foe into the air, leaving a green trail. In MK 2011 Cage uses this move as his Breaker attack.
Red Shadow Uppercut: A faster version of the move, which leaves a red trail. In MK 2011, this move is done after the Ultra Flipkick.
Flipkick: Cage does a somersault kick that launches his foe into the air, leaving a green trail.
* The enhanced version is called Ultra Flipkick and leaves red trail, as well as following up with a Red Shadow Uppercut.
X-Ray Move - Ball Buster: Cage taunts his opponent. If, during this time, they attack him, he parries them and performs a triple Split Punch in the opponent's groin area. As they double up, he jumps and then slams his elbow on their back, dealing damage to their spine.
Fatalities
Heads Up: Cage uppercuts his opponent's head off, then he finishes by ripping off their torso and throwing it to the ground as the head bounces up then he catches the head. This is a combination of his Torso Rip and Deadly Uppercut Fatalities from MKII.
And The Winner Is...: Johnny Cage karate chops the opponent's head in half and takes out a trophy. He then says, "And the award goes to..." and plants the trophy in between the two chopped halves of the opponent's head. Then while the announcer says "Johnny Cage Wins." Johnny pushes the opponent, making them fall to the ground. For unknown reasons, Johnny does not plant the trophy in Kratos' head, as Kratos simply falls backwards when he gets his head split.
Babality: Johnny Cage takes a pencil and paper and draws on it. The wind then blows the paper, making it land on the screen with the paper having a picture of himself and a few words saying, "To My Best Fan! Johnny Cage." which is most likely an homage to his Friendship in earlier games.
