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

lmao You're a mess DarkSide. Well, the bomb in Bombtastic is a big pun to Cyrax's bombs.

Ok, back on topic. Hey Reaver, like Back did with his Sektor Thread, have you done any distinguishing gameplay differential between the Human version and the Cyborg version?

Yeah, I think I put it in the bomb trap section.

These are the differences between human cyrax & cyborg:


1. Human Cyrax has a safe teleport, Robot Cyrax does not.

2. Human Cryax has slower bombs and a slower net throw.

3. Human Cyrax cannot do the guaranteed bomb trap after his command throw, Robot Cyrax can.
 
Hey Tony-T, I would love if you shared all of your cyrax combos here? I know its a little obvious to tell what you're doing in those videos, but some if not most of your combos are long and is hard to keep up with them!

Might be better if i post his most usefull combos off each launcher instead. I think its best to start with meterless combos.
These combos are what i think are his bnb from each launcher (meterless). These are all totaly in my opinion, some people may agree or disagree and thats fine.

So these are "meterless" combos (midscreen)



Combo starter: uf+2 / uf+1

uf+2, 3,3~net, u+2, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air.... 36 damage

Very easy and decent damage with no meter. Instead of anti air, you can add a ragdoll after the 1,2,1, but timing is strict and it only adds 1 more point of damage, so its not worth it. Also instead of anti air, you can do a mid bomb, for a wakeup bomb trap mixup.



Combo starter jabs: 1,2 / 3,3 / 2,1

1,2~net, u+2, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air.....32 damage

You can use the same ending alternatives as the above combo and you can start it with what ever jabs you like. it will always do the same damage no matter what jabs you use..



Combo starter: b+2

b+2, 3,3~net, 1,2,1~anti air.....24 damage

same ending options as above.



Combo starter: Bomb - bb+4 / ff+4 / bbf+4

ff+4, u+2, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air.....35 damage

same ending options as above



Combo starter: Net

Net, u+2, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air.....27 damage

same ending options as above



Combo starter: u+2 / u+1

u+2, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air.....30 damage

same ending options as above


In my opinion, these are his bnb from each launcher using no meter. If anyone was a beginner and asked me what are his best and easiest using no meter, then these would be it. They are simple.

Ill post what i think are his best using 1 bar of meter a little later..

His teleport is a little faster and safer, but it has slower recovery when trying to do teleport, teleport. robot cyrax can do teleport, teleport really quick.

His bombs have horrible recovery time, it really sux. his net is a tiny bit slower but not much..

He can still do bomb trap if he has an opponent against the wall, but because of his bad recovery from bombs he cant do it midscreen.

On the pluss side, his xray has twice the range of robot cyrax. you can do combo into 1,2,1 then do xray before they hit the ground.

But thats pretty useless as his xray in general is not needed at all, except to maybe finish off a match.
 
Thanks for the info Tony but I can't rep you anymore, it won't let me. haha

1 2 1 Anti-Air is a little tricky at first but I can do it fairly consistently now. You just need to gatling the inputs really quickly.

But my favorite 1 meter combo is:

14 Hits 57%: UF+1 2 1, EX mid bomb, mid bomb, Uppercut, B+2, Dash (optional), 1 2 1 Anti-Air.

But I usually don't do 3 3 net. I usually stick to 2 1 Net. The animations are a little slower so it gives you more time to react if they are blocking, so they don't block your net then punish you. I tried your first combo with 2 1 net instead of 3 3 net and it's the same damage.

In all honesty man, using 3 bars in a combo is a complete waste of meter and not needed at all. Those combos in my vid, though possible in a match, are really just for show. Id never really use more then 2 bars of meter in a combo. If i was going to use 2 bars of meter, it would be an exnet to drain my opponents meter,(so they cant use breaker) followed by the combo reaver posted above. Infact i cant justify using 2 bars of meter any other way as its not needed.

If i was going to use my full meter in a combo, then id use it on this...

uf+2, 2,1~exbomb, midbomb, d+2, b+2, 3~exbomb, 3~exbomb, net, teleport, 3,3~ragdoll.....67 damage

You can substitute the 3,3~ragdoll for an uppercut wich will do 66 damage.


One of the harder ones in my vid is the damage reset combo using 2 bombs and his buzzsaw to reset the damage.
Ill post the more damaging version wich is slightly different then the one in my vid..

uf+2, 2,1~net, uf+2, 2,1~exbomb, midbomb, dash, 2,1~closebomb, 2~buzzsaw, 2~net, b+2, 1,2,1~anti air....68 damage

The damage resets at the buzzsaw allowing for the rest of the combo to be guaranteed. basically you can get 2 x nets in this combo and its 100% guaranteed, they cannot escape it and it only uses 1 bar of meter. The damage after the buzzsaw reset displays as 42 damage, then the rest of the combo after the buzzsaw displays as 26 damage. so yeah 68 damage from 1 bar of meter is pretty good! but its not an easy combo..

Xray combo, the most damaging ive found so far (midscreen) is this...

uf+2, 2,1~net, uf+2, 2,1~xray, dash, 1,2,1~anti air...... 55 damage

This is why his xray is useless, the combo does good damage but you can get more damage from only using 1 bar in a combo. see the combo reaver posted. using xray with cyrax is a complete waste of meter and not necessary. Its far better to save your meter for breakers and more damaging combos from 1 bar of meter.

Anyway, i dont want to sound like im the authority on cyrax lol. cos im not. this is all totally my opinion and im basing it on logic. others may dissagree and there welcome too.

Hope some of that helps though :)
 
Honestly I agree about the xray combos being a waist actually I'd say the only usefull xrays are sheeva and jax since combo wise its tuff to come close to their x ray damage even with using ex moves as far as cyrax I agree if your gonna waist 3 meter bars atleast use the ex net to take a bar from your opponent too
 
That's good Tony, that's all I needed thanks. Also I would love to share this small & easy combo that anyone can do.(Nice damage too)

1,2,3,ragdoll

You can also start it with a u+f.p, And maybe mix it up by doing...

u+f.p, 1,2,3,ragdoll

u+f.p, 2,1,2,NET, u+f.p , 1,2,3,Ragdoll

Note: This combo does not work with EX ragdoll. Trust me I've tried it.

I fully agree that X-Ray is almost useless with Cyrax. The only time I use it is when I get them in a net and the X-Ray will kill them and win the whole match. So basically just for show. There are some characters you should definitely use the X-Ray such as Sub-Zero or Scorpion. Characters you shouldn't use X-Ray like Cyrax and Johnny Cage.
 
While I have nothing to really add, just wanted to say this thread is fantastic, and its good to see fellow Cyrax fans out there using him the right way. Very appreciative of the info in here!

Cyrax is sex.
