I think most of the major points have been made. Even in the bracket of 64 after pools I saw very little Cyrax representation as I was watching matches play out. I'll be honest, the resets may be a little ridiculous but it obviously isn't what Cyrax actually needs.
I'd happily trade resets for some decent strings to add pressure, 1,1 and 3,3 are the only ones of any use outside of combos which is pretty pathetic compared to some kung lao strings that do 9% in chip damage alone after low hat making it practically unpunishable. As mentioned many times he has no real high low game at all and command throw is unbelievably easy to break these days. I personally think Cyrax gets outzoned by every zoner except sub-zero (which is why I get why so many sub players are always here) since net is slower (or seems like it is) than a lot of projectiles and does no chip damage. Bombs outside of planned setups are embarrassingly easy to avoid. However, his high damage with or without resets makes up for this weakness in some matches but not in others. Raiden is a ridiculously bad match-up because he can just mash teleport out of every setup that isn't a guaranteed reset and go into string pressure for easy chip damage if not combos.
The other major weakness I see in Cyrax's match-ups is he doesn't have a good get the fuck off me/check move outside of invincibility on wake up moves. Examples are things like superman tackle, ermac's force push, reptile run, Kano upball, of course Lao spin. Most of the other zoners I can think of have one of these moves and it keeps overly aggressive players honest. Rax and Sub both suffer in this department but clone isn't too bad if you have a little bit of breathing room.
At any rate these are just the things I see in my experience, maybe people will figure out ways around these things in the future. For now, I'd like to see some buffs to help with his bad matches alongside the nerfs because it should be obvious by now that he hasn't won a single major and has had less top 8 placings than any other supposed top tier, yet people always complain about him more than anything. I once read an article on SRK that talked about how scrubs always call throws cheap because it takes people out of their comfort zone of "I'm blocking therefore I should always be safe", Cyrax seems to be a prime villain for that kind of thinking.
That's the end of my 2 am rant after a less than desired performance at evo :] back to the lab for me!
