Thanks, but actually that would not work in the situation I described.

It is not properly in the corner. Is like near the corner, but 1/4 of screen away. The f43 follow-up after the close hover (used in the corner combo above) would not connect...

I usually shoot whatever distance hover bomb that matches up with where the corner from net is and f34, NJP, b2, 4 ground bomb for corner set up. It's 25%.

You can get more damage by using more bombs but this one you can just change the distance of hover bomb you use for how ever far away from the corner you are.

Gotcha my bad. What you can do is maybe f21 net, dd2, d2, db2, db1, njp, b2, 4, ender. Not sure on the damage but I think it would get about 30% because that's close to my old bnb off a njp and it would normally net me 30% ish

honestly, it doesn't matter if we use 3 or 6 bomb combos he still does 29-33%

some times i feel im putting in to much effort just to do the same amount of damage or that extra 15 hits to get 3% more.

and his HTB is 55% for 2 bars, thats bad.

ermac has 80% with xray.

mileena has 54% with 1 bar

kitana has 40% meterless.

Reptile has 80% with 2 bars

and the list goes on

I'm starting to think we should cap the damage we go for at 30% and make the choice between ending the combo into setup/oki or sacrifice damage, get the htb and get around 50-60%

its what i do. i cut it off at 30-33% then setup HTB either i bait armor wakeup or go for HTB, either way it makes them make a hard read, and both ways i get 50-60% and up meterless

I have to be honest here...

I don't use any meter with Cyrax, unless I want to stay safe with Ex Buzz Saw and my opponent gets hit in the process.

I use the same Meterless HTB Reset, and people simply do not block consistently enough for me to stop using it, and a majority of the time that they do block is because I screwed up the timing.

Cyrax is a setup character. I personally feel that people need to start thinking outside the box, and burning meter like its free. I seriously mean that. You build so much meter with nets and bombs, and there is no point in using meter for combos.

Has anyone ever released an Ex Midbomb while your opponent is trying to approach you? Then when they begin to crouch block, you release a regular far bomb and double tap forward to run? I'm quite curious because from my experience, everyone reacts the same way. And there is no point in jumping the bombs, because that will earn you a free trip to a Cyrax air hug into an untechable 50/50.

Those are my 2 cents.

What is Kitanas 40% metereless HTB?

She gets 40% because she finally opened you up with a low, or she's picking on someone who doesn't know how to play against her

Any HTB is a good HTB, despite how much meter it costs. Not everyone has options to easily open someone up like that

Not when your footsies, mids, neutral, damage and bad corner combos (REALLY BAD CORNER COMBOS, they're really bad. Like, really bad) are really bad. The htb is not loopable, if you do ex saw, net, low bomb b2, obviously that will catch the opponent, doing like 20 or 30% damage, but you cannot loop it. If you do B2 into low bomb, nothing is guaranteed. Nothing. You can jump out of, standing jab, backdash, armor or anything against b2 into low bomb. It requires meter to do the htb to guaranteed and still not get good damage out of it. I agree, loopable htbs are broke asf and shouldn't exist, but when the character isn't good in any of aspects i told you. He's not really good or amazing. If EX net allowed to connect after a bomb, or they gave him actual not dogshit armor. Then I'd be happy.


But i think cyrax right now, is fine. If they give him a buff or two. That'd be good. But i don't think that's going to happen, i think they're going to nerf him more because it's nrs dawg.

Cyrax don't have easy options to open others up, they are all punishable, and are not hit confirmable.

i never said Kitana had an HTB.

you have options to get out of cyraxs one time HTB.


and i think you are mistaken if you believe that cyrax has a meterless HTB, the meterless one where you do standing 4 into medium low bomb, is backdashable, armorable, and jump able, and very blockable.

only his metered Busssaw HTB from net is only blockable, and i might add they have to make the mistake of lossing the footsie battle and then makeing a wrong guess to get in that situation, kinda like how you stated kitana is.

just because he has an oh and a low, both of them are not hit confirmable and the oh is 18 frames and the low is 15 frames and his F21 low is around 14 frames, his F13 is about 30 frames on low and all are either none hit confirmable and or very readable.

besides there are many ways to open people up.

30's and making them guess how many hits, make thewm guess to either D1 or use mid.

then there is conditioning. end strings 1 hit early a rude amount of times, to make them start punishing after X amount of hits then chain on another hit into special to juggle.

kitana is very good at this

My meter use varies per match up. I only ever use meter in a combo as a punish, like f43 ex airgrab. Otherwise I just drop ex close bombs. far bombs etc to stop people from zoning or getting to close. I've stopped so many people mid combo and turned it into my combo from an ex close bomb or mid bomb that it's scary. Otherwise I save it for breaker. The fact that I have so much meter is still a strange concept for me cause I'm used to hoarding it but I agree with you on the idea that we should start messing around with them more.

its a combo that ends in puddle. and it is very doable in high level play.

maybe you don't know what your talking about?

maybe you hjavent herd of anything that high because people don't like to share dirt when others want nerfs, i don't blame them.

Cyrax got nerfed by players who don't main Cyrax (who want him nerfed) labbed some tech real quick to get him nerfed. same for alien.

im against Nerfs!

they ruine the game, and every character.

they allow bad players to put the blame on characters instead of them selfs, that way they eliminate any hard situations instead of labbing.

i don't want Kitana, or Reptile nerfed or any character for that matter.

maybe you should chill out. many characters have mad damage, and im ok with it.

i just find it strange that others will get certain characters nerfed (Cyrax) when others have the same damage opertunities.

Cyrax BNB is now 4 bombs

3 bombs get 29% meterless

4 bombs get 33% meterless

5 gets 29-33% meterless

6 bombs gets 33% meterless (used to get 40% meterless) wonder how he got nerfed. people acted like it was a new thing.

what i find funny is how he has always done way more damage in other games, and had unblockable bombs, command grab, ragdoll, chip strings into unblockables and did 2-4 times the damage in other games. and guess what he lost many times in EVO MK9.

but some of the community deem everything that has been in every mk game broken, and he is half the robot he has ever been pre patch. and he gets the nerf hammer from fear, it was way too early, noone even learned the matchup yet, there was no way they knew how to counter anything, and he still got nerfed, because people complained it was too cheap to have to deal with that in ESL and tourny season.


however they came up with this Nerf to Triborg was not thought out well. and i just hope people learn to lab before asking for nerfs in the future.

don't worry im not like many others in the community, i Will NOT take out my frustrations from my favorite character being nerfed and act vengefully towards any other character.
i just state what is in the game, and pose the question why are certain things being nerfed while other tools either equally strong or possibly stronger remain on other characters.
again not asking for them to be nerfed more like give the tools back that where nerfed if other get to keep them.

take them from all or don't take them at all.


BTW Reptiles is no different than what got nerfed on alien. and in fact Reptiles does more damage.

ok here it is:

its not perfect and i could have done alot better, but since you are the reptile main you can figure it out, this should give you an idea, like avery character with dot you have to make thewm guess, just like alien, you have to keep them in puddle to make them take that damage, and there is like 3 opertunities in aliens combo to backdash armor out and what not.

same goes with reptile there is options around it, just like you can counter those options as well. its a guessing game.

will post video shortly:


like i said, do the D3 better and find better ways of mixing them up, that should give you an idea

look 2 posts above i posted it, like i said it ends into a puddle and you have to keep them in it just like Alien Acidic high damage enders

maybe im not so full of shit ;)

just remember i never attacked you, you just fliped out on me assuming there was no way to loke them into 80% plus.

depending on what you do it varies, but its about 60%-89%


hope you like it, and hope it helps you.

if they backdash you can catch them with F21 d3 and then grab em to put em back in it, just mess around, its a guess game on both your parts, but to make you feel thats its not too situational which it kind of is. some times when D3 is used properly it feels like it jails online.

OMG are you SLOW? you where the only one who stated it was a combo.
look at all my posts.
i clearly stated it was a setup, i described what it was, a combo into a puddle setup, where you have to keep them in the puddle!

and it in fact does over 80% damage

more like you should be embarrassed that you didn't realize from the clear explanation that it was a setup, and im sure you where the only one who thought it was a combo.
example 1:
you have to keep them in puddle to make them take that damage, and there is like 3 opportunities in aliens combo to backdash armor out and what not.

example 2:

its a combo that ends in puddle. and it is very doable in high level play.

then you came back with:
