Cyrax Thread - "Safeties Disabled; Combat Mode Engaged!"

Ok so I tried the so called "Cyrax's bomb trap" and it's completely useless seeing as how every person I tried to do it to would go jump up-right/up-left. So yea unless you're playing a completely new player, it won't work 100%.

Immortal Reaver just used it on me online, and I'm no pushover, it works.

Yeah, he's a fairly good player and I still pulled it off at least once. You're just not doing it right. Right after you throw the bomb you need to dash then 1 1 1 as fast as possible. You're not doing it fast enough.

Also LI Joe pulled it off probably 5-6 times against Tom Brady, which is not a new player. ;P
 
wow man screw cyrax and screw this game. Im so inconsistent with cyrax its ridiculous. Im finding hard all of a sudden to win. All he has is bombs and a freaken net and when your opponent is blocking all his "goodies" hes just so useless in my mind... Sounds like I dont know anything about cyrax lol but maybe I need to find someone else to use

We all have our bad days.

I was ready to give up with Sektor last week after a 5 game lose streak.
But now I'm back on top.

So will you DarkSide, so will you.

Alright i'll try that next time I get a chance, I was actually not dashing at all so that might of been my problem? I'll come back later and keep ya in touch.
 
Well if you or anyone else needs help or tips for any character (I'm best with the ones in my userbar though) I'll be glad to help. I'm no professional or anything but I have no problem helping people out.
 
Wassup guys! Ive found a couple tricks id like to share.

After a b+4 (sweep) you can get a free net if your opponent tries to stand and block. timing is strict. they cannot block it. Or you can get a free 3,3 into combo.

If you juggle an opponent up against the wall and you finish the combo with 1,2,1, you can get a free b+2 on wakeup if he tries to stand and block. again, he cannot block. Just do a b+2 immideatly after the 1,2,1 has finished.

If you Finish a combo with d,f+1 (anti air) and there close to a wall when they land, you can get a free net upon wakeup if your opponent tries to stand and block. they cannot block (timing is strict)

If you finish a combo with u+4, you can get a free net upon waleup if he tries to stand and block (timing is strict)


Infact he has alot of wakeup traps but unfortunatly they require your opponent to instantly stand and block.

Everyone of these traps can be avoided if your opponent rolls back, stays on the ground or does an enhanced wakeup attack. some regular wakeup attacks can still hit you too, so you have to be careful.

Pretty certain every character has these unblockable wakeup options, so always make sure that upon wakeup you either roll back (safest) or use a wakeup attack. never just stand to block.

I just learned some good 40%+ combos from your PART 2 video of cyrax, Some very creative combos and ideas. I highly appreciate that. You deserve some rep.

ok so from what im hearing the bomb trap being basically free is a bug. you are supposed to have 10 frames to break is b1 throw but right now you only have 3 maybe 2 frames. its going to get fixed so now when a random net hits you will be able to break the throw 100% of the time.

however, breaking a naked b1 will be near impossible on reaction but you can basically mash d1s and beat everything cyrax has while still breaking b1 command throw. cyrax would have to jump over or 33 in close to stop d1 shit and then you can aa him or cross up his 33 etc.. so it becomes a mind game with strategy.

So basically what that means is that if you're in a net and you're expecting them to do the command grab on you, just mash the proper button to break it once they grab you, which I think is 1? But the command grab just by itself without the net will still be hard to break.

I can be happy with that. Getting a bomb trap from a net is kind of cheap anyways compared to just doing it by itself.
 
He's still got ex bomb to medium bomb as a setup even with the bomb trap taking a small hit 54% damage is still easy to get so I'm OK with the coming change
