I'm having a bitch of a time beating him. Can anyone give me some advice? I usually use Jimmy/Billy, Jimmy/Sonia or Billy/whatsherface.

Wait till he attacks, tag, and combo off the tagging hit.

Also, Cassandra's air DM works wonders, start it up, and Johann will:
a.) counter the first part and get hit by the second;
b.) throw up the "pillar o' doom", but since cassandra's invincible she goes through it and hits him


About all the advice I can give, been too long since I played against Johann.

I posted this a while back. Using this method I've been able to get perfects with Lynn many times.
...
Get a full screen of distance between the two of you. If he isn't a full screen away you'll probably eat a jump kick.
Throw a fireball. He'll usually block the first one. Immediately throw another one and he'll roll under it. Jump in with a kick as he comes out of the roll and then sweep. Hop back and then repeat.
It's easiest to do this with Lynn as her fireball is the fastest but you can do it with anybody that has a projectile.

Some other tips: If Johann has a powerstock don't jump at him when he rolls under the fireball. After he comes out of the roll he'll use his super whether you jumped or not, so don't jump and you won't get hit; just hop back and throw another projectile.
Also, if your using a character who has a super where the character travels across the screen (like Jimmy or Elias) you can do the super and grab Johann out of the roll rather than doing a jumpkick.
