Tech - Cyrax Anti-Ermac Tech

[scarsunseen]

Cyrax's AA grab can hit Ermac when Ermac disappears.

Woohoo S+ tier robot.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Nice found. Do other air throws work?

 

[scarsunseen]

No idea.

 

[exflyingbooty]

his disappear works like mileena's fade so technically any air throw will work on him it's just trying to grab him that's the issue

 

[MadeOfMetal]

@scarsunseen yeah someone told me this a while ago, but its still damn hard to grab him in air. its still a bitch.

think it was @Kindred where you the one who told me Cyrax can grab Ermac out of air?

Cassies air grab works like this too.

 

[MadeOfMetal]

Cassies air grab works like this too.

yeah hers is good, but i feel Cyrax is better, he can do it without jumping up, i think some air moves like Dive kicks might work at end of it. but thats a guessing game in its self.

no, they dont. only throws capture ermac while he's using vanish.

i didn't say anything else captured Ermac, i said Air kicks catch him after he gets out of it. if you time it right and then said it would be a nightmare to even try to time that right.

but yes you are correct.

i thought this was already known, but i guess there wasn't actual post for this

yeah it was knoiwn forever, but noone actually made a thread, i guess how else will the none Ermac and Cyrax players know right?

Not exactly new. Disappear is not grab invulnerable.

D'Vorah X Ray, command grabs on the ground, normal grabs. All can be used to punish.

Though if it wasn't known within the Cyrax community, then it is good to cover/share it.

 

[scarsunseen]

The weird thing is that Cyrax's AA grab isn't technically a throw because it can be combo-broken.

 

[SOULWARRIOR 71K]

The air grab works well against Kenshi too (jump back as soon as he teleports and then AA grab in the air). Shinnok not so much because if you mistime it, his teleport reverses your input and then you'll get teleport instead of grab. As shown in @scarsunseen's video, it works against Ermac as does sending a nice air bomb to wait for him to reappear and/or to bait the teleport kick.

 

[JDM]

this is actually really good anti-ermac tech lol. nice find. I didn't know about this

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Nice tech. Watching that 18 hit 30% combo made me clinically depressed though.
