RC - Run Cancel
NJP - Neutral Jump Punch
WB - Walk Back
JB - Jump Back
BD - Back Dash
FD - Forward Dash

These are Cyrax most optimal bnb's, you just have to know which one to use depending on your screen position. All of the midscreen stuff can be done in the corner, either from the front or by jumping over depending on the combo.
All of these combos are safe on block, simply because the 111 string can be hitconfirmed into the net, but you can commit with a 50/50 if you want. Combos that use meter are safe because the ex chest saw is neutral on block.
You don't have to end with db1 or db4, instead just go for a hard knockdown with J4, or do RC 4 into low bomb.

Holy crap dude, this is incredible. Can I make a request? A corner combo that can be started with B1/B2 -> Net?
Sometimes the best thing to do is to get them in a net and jump over, then do the standard forward moving combos for around 40% dmg. However, if your opponent is a corner heavy character and they have a breaker available, that might not be a very good idea (although the teleport does let you get out most of the times). In that case, you can use:

b1 bf1, db2, f21, njp, b2, 4, 114 db1 - 27%
b2, 4, 4, 114 bf1, db2, 114, 4 db4 - 34%

11 11 11 11
111 bf1, df2, f43, df2, f43, df2, 114, dd2, d2, db2, njp, dd3, 21 db2, 4 db1, roll, d1 dd3.
My personal bnb that seems pretty practical considering I land it a majority of the time. 39-43% into bomb setup meterless midscreen.

It's all practice and timing, Cyrax is very execution heavy.

Put down the controller and run!

B1 into net, Close bomb,3, B1(reset), walk back 21,run 114 into net, close hover, dash back mid hover, step back 4 mid hover, step back 4 mid bomb, jump back 4(into the bomb), far bomb, uppercut, run all the way NJK(splat), close bomb,B3D4 reset and repeat!

Good stuff, f21 xx bf1, dash, df2, f43, df2, f43, df2, 114 xx dd2, d2, db2, njp, dd3, walk back, 21, b2, rc 4 xx db4 = 41% is my optimal bnb right now.
working from that:
f21 xx bf1, dash, df2, f43, df2, f43, df2, 114 xx dd2, d2, db2, njp, dd3, walk back, 21 --> into db2, saw does also work. However the opponent is floating in such a stupid angle that he crosses you up and you can't bring the b2 out. :(

So for now I end with 4~saw, JIK~db4 or setup.

Hmm...I see, btw @scarsunseen found this combo: f13 xx bf1, dash, df2, f43, df2, f43, df2, 114 xx dd3, walk back, f13 xx db2, walk back, 21 xx dd2, d2, dd2, db1, 4 xx db4 = 42%

Edit: I'll experiment more with this stuff.

i'll agree with easy to drop but not execution heavy. there isn't really any combo with a tight window
I suppose the tight window comes with getting the entire combo out. The timing on F43 into bombs is quite wonky though.

His combos arent hard they just require a lot of practice to get the timing down. You cant just dial shit in and make sure you hit 1 or 2 windows like lots of other characters...his combos have a bunch of decently wide windows

Meterless:

B1xxbf1, db2, f43xxdf4b, NJP, b2, uppercut, f13xxdb4 28%

b2, 4, 21, 114xxbf1, db3, 111, 4~db1 32%

1 bar:

B1xxEXdb1, NJP, b2, 4, 114xxbf1, db3, b2 (HTB)

B2, 4, 4, 21, 114xxEXdb1, 3xxbf1, db2, 111, 4xxdb1 37% (somewhat tricky, you can eliminate a standing 4 for only a 1% sacrifice)

hold on is that meterless ???
simple way of determining weather it will work now or not.

bombs in combos, you can only have 3low bombs(so DB3/DD3/DF3) and 3 hover bombs in a combo (DF2, DD2, DB2)

so if you use DD2, DF2, or DB2 you can only use two more hover bombs in that combo, and will only be able to use 3 low bombs after that. not like you need them because the damage scaling is so high.

only way to get a sure 50+% is to use the net into low bomb B2 HTB reset, which will only work once because of the bomb to NO-net nerf. (2 BARS)

most combos meterless that you will find that are practical are 33-34% meterless, and one bar will get you close to 45% with HTB setup. (i see the 55% for an extra bar, but i would rather save the bar, and either bait armor, or make them guess between B1-2+4 18% ender OH to OH or F13/B3 into potentail 25% meterless

Bug of tater's
Do people land the super long combos all the time? Like the
111xxbf1, df2, f43, df2, f43, df2, 114xxdd2, d2, then im supposed to do a grenade and neutral jump? the jump never works for me let alone the grenade doesn't come out sometimes
