http://www.justin.tv/s1lent1#/w/1454507584 go directly to around the 20 min mark to skip the bullshit til tom starts talking about cyrax.
thanks man, just watched it, he hit the nail on the head, cyrax has had all these amazing tools and setups since release but people have been more focused on pure damage output than going into greater detail to find shit like the down 4 into 1,1. ive got a few similiar setups i've had for a while and they work wonders on people who don't know any better, far too often i find myself facing cyrax players who will desperately try to land a net or crossup because all they got is high damage combos and nothing else :/
i think alot of cyrax new cyrax players teleport way to damn much. for being new to cyrax i like to land his main 50% bnb's while im adjusting to his tools. mind you ive been playing cyrax for a few days and you need to rely on cross ups for any character..i see alot of new cyrax's think 'omg he has so many tools! lets try to use them all and overteleport like idiots!' everytime they do i uppercut them. cyraxs pokes are great. and for a cyrax mirror match, the more aggressive crossing up cyrax will win, many times jumping right over the net and punishing a net that was shot form about 1/4 screen becaus ethey think itll hit. Alot of people think cyrax is fun and looks cool to polay but don't realize how indepth he really is. You cant just main a character imo in a few weeks, it takes months..i think alot of you new cyrax players really dont know how many tools you actually have. Never get predictable with his teleports, and i would advise NEVER to use exteleport unless its a wakeup or you have 3bars and actually need to use it. Alot of new cyraxs are use to sub zero and his little clone gimmicks and dont realize that they have to put in a little more work then what they think
i'm no 'new cyrax player' i've been maining him religiously since release day, i only find myself teleporting if theyre blatently gonna lay into me on wakeup, as if they do a 3 hit string and i get clean away while theyre still stuck doing the hits till their moves have finished leaving them wide open
i never said you were a new cyrax player... ? i was talking about the 'new' cyrax players you face that you say cross you up
given that you quoted me i assumed you were talking about me, i never said i have trouble dealing with 1 trick pony combo cyrax players, theyre too jump happy and aggresive for their own good, neutral jump punch is their worst nightmare lol.
yeah but after another cyrax has got you in fear of his bombs you should be jumping..jumping isnt a bad thing vs cyrax if you know what your doing and not jumping around blindly. Alot of cyrax can easily be crossed up when they are a little too trigger happy with nets and bombs and misplaced teleports
i agree, you're only gonna go for a neutral jump punch if theyre within jumping range anway, where you wont be having bombs launched left right and center, i find myself punishing cyrax teleports with a regular 1,2 net for now, its wierd how he's in an airborne state after though
. Everytime I hit training mode with cyrax, I alway find something new. God he's so fun to play with.
So I just happened upon this thread and I had no idea that cyrax has even more crazy traps than the original bomb trap. So, basically, if cyrax catches me with a jump in punch and I can't breaker, I'm dead?
This is exactly what I suggested before. The duration before the reset happens after being chest sawed or netted (basically, when the person hits the ground) just needs to be slightly longer than it takes for the bomb to explode. That way NJP into the 2nd half of the combo is cut off, and can't happen because the reset would never come. Still there would be the 59% BnB 1 meter that people were doing before, but there wouldn't be the ability to punish someone with two combos just bcause you netted them.
if you have zero meter and your up against someone who can perform these combos, then yes your pretty much gonna be very close to death or dead. At the moment theres only a handfull of people who can do this stuff in matches (80% + combos), and it will probably stay that way, so in all honesty, i dont think you have much to worry about.
How do you figure that it will stay that way? Nothing in this game is all that difficult to execute; it won't take long before word of this reset spreads and everyone who mains Cyrax will be able to do it.
There is a big difference doing it on a training dummy as opposed to doing it on a competent live player during a real match. Inputs are hard as it is but you also have to take into account reaction times, thought processing is altered, maybe you don't have more than 1 bar of meter etc. Too many variables render one of those 80 %ers impractical in a REAL match. The 60 something % is usually the one you will see most if not all Cyrax users perform.
The Cyrax forums is a disgrace.
This is an awesome response lol
I completely disagree. Difficult execution is not only not a valid reason to let something be overpowered, it isn't even an obstacle. Anyone can have complete mastery of any combo in this game if they spend a week practicing it in training mode and attempting execution in matches.
So wait, you agree that it's ridiculous but also feel like it would be a disgrace to patch the reset? lolwut. Also, all damage resets/infinites in the game are unintentional, that's why they're all being patched out.
A bit harsh, but I lol'd.
, i'd love to but on a student budget i doubt i can afford to fly to Las Vegas from the UK 
, theres a possibility of MK at the next UC on the 30th, and if not there's Super VS Battle in august, so i'll show my face where i can
