Oh shit, he has a bad MU. Pack it up guys, he's trash now.
are you for real. (its obviously more than just one matchup, or one problem, (if you fail to realize that its obvious you don't main triborg)

he has plenty bad matchups thus mid tier.

but there are things he just can't handle like Mileena B12. (just an example no need to freak cuz you are a mileena main, i used to use mileena, but now she is too easy and my favorites came in the game)

noone is trying to get mileena nerfed so i don't think you should even comment on a character that you don't use or obviously understand.

this whole, nerf everyone but my character has to go. its childish and far from professional practice

What is this "Cyrax has no options vs b12" talk about?

Even still since the patch I literally don't think I've seen you not bring up mileena in a Cyrax post. I've literally had to see like 30 posts from you in the last week about it. We get it. Cyrax fucking sucks against mileena.
 

huh

Retired forever; don’t ask for games.
I'm laughing so hard at this thread rn.

Your character has only been out for a month and you've acted like he's been around longer than that not to mentioned broken af pre-patch.

If I sounded like an asshole or whatever, that wasn't my intention. Just tired of hearing all the complaining about triborg lol.

Reversal Backdash and EX tele work if Mileena is just doing b12 over and over again. I know those aren't the best options but it's a fighting game, you gotta make reads.

Key to Cyrax:

1. Anti-Air Grab: Covers both ground and air, and ends in a hkd.
2. Has an overhead, and a low, and a few variations of a low with his blockstrings. (one of which hits mid.)
3. Still has resets in the form of htb low overhead attacks. (god forbid a jedi can block them.)
4. So far, it took me a day to adjust to his new BNB's and currently I use a 37% meterless midscreen combo.
5. You don't need to use meter for any of his combos. Use the rest of his meter to cover the entire screen with bombs, and maneuver your opponent around the screen. (not to mention as you use net, you still make meter MK9 style.) / Ex Buzz Saw (I shouldn't have to explain how to use this.)

Anyway. Lets give Cyrax an overhead buzz saw so I can feel more at home. :)
Where do you stream? I wanna see your gameplaye footage!

This makes me wanna pick him up lol.

For the record I think Mileena beats him pretty bad, but I was more pointing out the idiocy of discrediting Mustard's top 8 placement because he didn't face a Mileena. Cyrax is a mid tier character and is still viable. Can he win a tournament on his own? Probably not, but not many mid tiers in MKX actually can. But he still can compete so I don't get the amount of complaining.

Also he can use the Armored Teleport or backdash if she gets too obvious with b12.

Edit: NInja'd by Chongo lol

there is a reason everyone is complaining about it.


someone has stated that i have talked about the matchup too much, and i can agree. have no clue why it bothers that person, but i can admit i have stated it on almost every post, due to frustration of my many sets against her.

ill PM you for MU info


your not an asshole. lol.

no worries

No worries. I didn't get an asshole-ish impression. All good.

Wouldn't f1 have some use vs b12? I know it wouldn't be the best option ever, but it seems like something to use.

not if they are frame perfect with B12 if they follow up at max range, you will wiff and they will get full combo punish

Why you ask? If you are willing to listen, I will tell you.

Sometime in late 2010, Cyrax made a deal.. With The Balancer. It was late on a Saturday night, at a cafe on the edge of North Chicago. Although Cyrax had been a staple of the franchise since MK3, he feeling something he'd never felt before.. For years, he'd be unable to separate himself from his crimson-colored counterpart. "Ketchup and Mustard, they call us" he thought. But he was after... Something more. Something that would cement him into legend.. And finally allow him to stand on his own two actuators.

The conversation went roughly as follows:

Cyrax: "I wish to make... A deal with you".

The Balancer: "Well, what is it you seek".

Cyrax: "I want to be great.. Greater than all the others. I want to be the best".

The Balancer: "Hmmmm.... This is quite the request."

Cyrax: "For too long, I have not had my own name -- I wish to be remembered; I want to make them rue the day they meet me on the battlefield".

The Balancer: "Well... There is one small caveat. Kabal has already sold his soul in order to become #1. In order to secure his place, we have made.. An Arrangement. And he has made it at great sacrifice."

Cyrax "Sacrifice?"

The Balancer: "He will be the greatest, for his time -- and then once the years pass and the next great game has come, he will cease to exist".



Cyrax: "Well if he is to be number one, I wish to have the tools to be Number Two".

The Balancer: "Tell me of the tools you seek."

Cyrax: "I wish to have great damage.. To control the match from all angles.. I desire an un-reactable command grab, domination over the air, and.. Unblockable resets".

The Balancer: "A great many things you ask of me. If this is truly what you wish, it will come at a heavy price".

Cyrax: "I have set my resolve, great master. Name your price".

At this point, The Balancer thought long and hard, in order to exact an equivalent pay for the great power he was about to bestow. And then, brow furrowed, he reached his conclusion.

The Balancer: "You will burn bright.. I will give you the tools that you desire. You will be Number Two, and you will rule over the land. But come the next great game, your powers will be taken from you; and you will be Normalized, to roam the lowest of tiers, and sweep the floors of the NetherRealm, to pay for what you've received".

Cyrax considered the agreement carefully.. It was indeed a heavy price to pay. But the desire to reach the top burned badly within him, and so he agreed.

Cyrax: "It is a gracious offer -- and I must accept. Show me the way"

And so, the legend of Cyrax was born -- and in 2010 in a coffee shop on the North Side of Chicago, the terms were set.

-------------------------------------------------------

Years later in 2016, our Yellow robot had laid waste to the land.. And he had just made his entrance in the next Great Game. Although the power he'd received was still with him, the decisions of the years past weighed on him, and he knew... His time was coming. And then the knock came at the door, on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It was clear.

IT... WAS... TIME

The Balancer: "Are you ready?"

Cyrax: "I am troubled -- but I am ready to uphold my pact. You gave me what I sought, and I enforced great vengeance upon the land. My place in history is set. I will pay your price".

The Balancer: "Very well. I have come.. To collect.. What you owe. IT'S TIME".



And so, the price was paid. The Balancer came to collect what he was owed. And more of less great balance (imbalance?) of the realm has been restored.

IT... IS... DONE.
