Yes. I have played Pig and ShujikyDink at UFGT. Also, sometimes online, including Playing 2 Win. I know it is bad for Cyborg, Pig thinks it is worse. It may be 3-7, however I just think I have yet to find a good strategy for dealing with him so I keep it at 4-6 haha.
switching to mk9 controls will help. or buy a hitbox (what i did)
yeah fearblast is a huge problem. Grappling doesnt work because of that god damned down 2. If he hits you with a boulder he gets a full trait. if he knocks you out of the air with fear blast he gets like a full trait. once he has trait youre completely screwed. Is fireball v. meteor/fearblast an even trade damage wise?Yes. I have played Pig and ShujikyDink at UFGT. Also, sometimes online, including Playing 2 Win.

Right now Sinestro gets to play his game 100% against Cyborg. Cyborgs dash is still amazing so I like to dash/block in to about midscreen. From here Sinestro will be to afraid to actually charge his trait.... (Pig will do trait fakeout charge traps to try and bait you to move :X) When you close the distance grapple can be effective. Never use it to just get in as d2 will blow you up. You need to use grapple's armor to absorb a boulder, fearblast, or that shackles move. All have long recovery frames so for Sinestro so depending on where you grappled from you either get a free in for pressure...or free wiff punish! Watch out for MB fear blast though.... Also luckily, by this point Sinestro has put himself in the corner so he risks taking huge damage from Cyborg's corner combos/vortex.
Sinestro actully haas great footsie tools compared to Cyborg, so I don't like to fight him midscreen. Need to respect that gimmicky wiff/low spike attack he does. Also, I hate that ambiguous jump axe thing he does.
If you get a significant lifelead and meter advantage you can outzone Sinestro. IANB will trade with bloulder, enough to recover to block, trade with fearblast, enough to duck or block, and will trade and trade with those foot shackles, which will wiff (hit and a free dash in). MB fearblast is a problem, but just use Air NovaBlast MB to dodge them. Also, I find checking him with Ground fireballs is good to do, and if you get a chance to start missle pressure...TAKE IT!
It is tough, and I am still trying to find a good strat for this MU, but Sinestro just outdamages and out footsies Cyborg. More reward for his reads, and if Sinestro gets the life lead (usually happens) then you have to try and dash in, which means Sinestro gets to play the game his character was designed for and Cyborg does not
That makes sense no wonder you were so clean vs. Pig.
you dont need a hitbox, relaxed uses a regular stick and does it basically the same as me. i do however think hitbox gives slightly more control, especially when youre not already in the fireball rhythm (ie doing a really low iafb straight up once the first time without already being in rhythm throwing them is much easier on a hitbox)
Yeah I love Cyborg...but when I run into some characters I just HAVE to counter-pick to avoid the bop hammer.
Yeah can you unstick the one small guide by art. It has outdated/wrong info and isn't being updated
Cyborg has got to have the widest range of MU's. He uterrly destroys Grundy and Lex but then gets raped by characters like Sinestro
The problem with trying to play Cyborg as a rushdown character is that his tools don't really suit it well. His damage payoff isn't great and in order to keep yourself safe you have to block confirm into Sonic Disruptor which has big push back, and in order to score meaningful damage you need to use mb power fist which pushes back full screen.
how much health does full activation regenerate?
Like 15 percent in less than a second. Its hella good.
cool. i assume he needs it. lol
Wtf? Lol
Lol. It is about 13% in 2 seconds. And they lied to us, it does not start healing on the first tick. 4xxNB or whatever doesn't heal when cancel instantly. Thus you will not be using this every 8 seconds, and it will be MU/Situational dependent.
