General/Other - TriBorg Is There A Grand Robot Champion?

Lt. Boxy Angelman

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
Are there any players, well known or underground or in between, who specialize in across the board Triborg?

I know Scarsunseen is the ultimo Cyrax.
Sonic among others wields Sektor.
Scar is the OG Smoke.
And there are at least 2 or 3 CSZ players I've watched making noise.

But does anyone specialize in playing them all?

I've been offline since almost Halloween, and in a couple of weeks when I get my new rig, I'm gonna be putting almost all of my time into Triborg. I'm interested in how they compare head to head

Sektor and Smoke are the best two. Cyrax and CSZ are mid to low mid tier. CSZ is more solid than Cyrax but Cyrax has more potential damage and a better mixup. Regardless both of them require way more work to be good and way better execution overall. So reward =/= effort/risk. If you wanted to play all 4, hats off to you I love CSZ as my profile indicates, but for the sake of winning your better of sticking with red and black.

I think Cyrax is the worst borg and there's never a matchup where he's worth choosing over the others. Cyber Sub is maybe worth using when anti zoning is a necessity but tbh Smoke and Sektor don't get zoned out.

Smoke and Sektor are really the most useful ones and if your goal is purely winning they are the only ones worth using.

You people who think Cyrax is a garbage character are wrong. I'm just going to keep saying it.
The worst of the borgs doesn't make Cyrax garbage. Triborg is a good character regardless. Just if you want effort versus reward Cyrax is maximum effort which has to play a role in character selection. I think Cyrax has a lot of hidden potential that requires high level mastery to unlock.
 
Cyrax = MKX Skarlett

Box in order for you to defeat the people you've challenge you must master these... suprise em wit hyour CSZ!

Cyrax isn't garbage for sure he's just not worth using unless you just like the character. Any of Cyrax's merits can be replicated and improved on by better characters. Is Cyrax fully tapped out? Probably not, there's probably something to find. But there's probably something to find for most characters. Hardly any character in this game is fully tapped out imo, the community is too small to have a master representative of every character. But its not like he's this hidden gem that everyone is just ignoring. The issues Cyrax has are all definitely there, it's not like he gets passed up for no reason.
 
Quick question about cyrax. The only time ive seen him played was by forever fresco and i noticed he didnt use bombs in the neutral, in contrast to mk9 cyrax. Why not?
 

God Confirm

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.
You people who think Cyrax is a garbage character are wrong. I'm just going to keep saying it.
you keep saying how mid tier he is, but everytime you've been asked about it or why you think he's better than CSZ, you've never responded let alone given a single shred of reasoning. So just, keep saying it I guess \o/
 
i wondered if there is a triborg main, but it would be perfect for counterpickers mastering the 4 cyborgs. all are quite unique with different strengths..

Cuz mk9 bombs were unblockable. Throwing them out in the neutral yeilded much higher reward, cuz once you threw it out and got your opponent stuck in a block string, it pretty much guarenteed a combo. Mk10 bombs are a low, so they can be blocked. So you cant play the neutral with cyrax in mk10 as yolo as you could in mk9 (and yielded a guarenteed reward that was always huge, ughhh...... the good ol' days of 80% resets lol)

I'm a Cyrax and Sektor player.

Smoke and Sektor are definitely the best bots. I think Smoke has a slight advantage over Sektor, but Sektor has great damage and can convert off an anything plus has a re-stand. Depending on the MU, Cyrax is better than CSZ and vice-versa. For example, Cyrax's air bombs totally fucks with how Kitanas, Kenshis, and Pretty Lady Leatherfaces want to play. Takes away their option of air projectiles. Cyrax gets completely wrecked in other MU's: Imposter Shinnok (steals Cyrax's net/guaranteed vortex), Scorpion, Smoke, Sektor, Mileena, Jason, Takeda, etc.

I technically play all 4 bots, but Smoke isn't my play-style and I have no reason to use Cyber Sub over Sektor.

I used to love Tri-Borg back before I dropped MKX after the Alien nerfs.
