He can run away, lame you out, and shake your nets. You end up having to chase a smoking away smoke, I usually do something stupid, get hit with a smokeball, and eat a reset =(
Jax, go full on team black. He helps with Cyrax's worst match Kabal, which would be the only match I would feel inclined to change characters. He goes even with Kung Pow and Sonya Bitch as well, which is a very nice plus.
I use mostly Cyrax because I'm focused on leveling him up, but my main has been Raiden for months and so far Raiden has been great at covering the matchups I have trouble with as Cyrax.
