as previously mentioned before johnny has great mash normals and above average hp, but his metered options are top class too with both his super and his DAA being very difficult to punish. Additionally, when people talk about backdashes they usually talk about Pot and Slayer, which is fine they're absoultely fantastic backdashes but both of them have some sort of shortcomings: People usually talk about pot's backdash and for good reason, on demand 20 frames of invuln with a single frame of recovery is hard to beat, but it's held back by its overall total duration, 21 frames is still a long time and you can probably whiff something and recover in time(hopefully), meanwhille johnny has a backdash with 11F (1~7F invuln) that covers a lot of distance, that means johnny will mindlessly backdash and still get a punish because by the time the i frames run out he's out of your attack's range anyway and gets a free punish
>setplay
setplay is dumb, I don't want to waste too much time on this, even a baby can do a zwei yrc 50/50, unblockable is dumb
>pressure, with the addition of his 2H which thankfully hasn't returned to soive he has plus on block forward advancing evasive normals with fantastic reach that can keep his pressure going
TLDR there's nothing about Xrd johnny that is demanding, he's just riding off the +R fame, fuck this character, fuck people who play this character, fuck people who worship this character, I'll seethe eternally at Xrd johnny
