Cryax vs Stryker??

[Felix]

Not sure what this matchup is but it pisses me off so bad.. his gun feels unstopable even though i know i could far bomb or teleport, the recovery on it seems insane!!

Any ideas on what this matchup is? Not much info in the cryax matchup thread btw.

try blocking

Relax guys...

Allow people some time to properly reply. Do NOT troll or flame.

Srsly, other than blocking, jump+teleport.

jump teleport is a bad idea as stryker's uppercut punishes it clean, the gun does stop cyrax from shooting projectiles as it outspeeds him, i havent got enough experience in this matchup to really give solid advice but what i do whenever i rarely fight stryker is, once i have the life lead, sit at just outside jmup distance and neutral duck, gunshots wont touch me and grenades can be punished by a dash d4 on reaction, other than that all i can say is be wary of the roll and remember all your strings outspeed his, so if he gets in your face you shouldnt really have anything to worry about.

Nice response guy!

You asked what to do and he simply gave you the most straightforward answer you can get.

Block, throw a bomb to his feet and close the gap or just crouch and make him do something else besides using the gun. We can't give you a super secret cheat code to magically stop him, just use your brains kid.

yea pretty much everyone said what needs to be done in this match up, also suggest if your rushing down watch out for strykers wakeup baton upper cut move (dont know the name).

heres a video to get an idea, the styrker isnt that good but he did spam the gun a while and u can see how i adapted by dash blocking

^ Ugh, that Stryker was horrible. Pretty embarrassing to watch...


To OP, just make him move around with grenades and try to catch him with a random net. That being said I don't think Cyrax can win the zoning war vs a good Stryker. Cyrax gets outzoned very easily. And teleport is useless vs Stryker because I can shoot you when you disappear and get 18% when you reappear.

I think Cyrax is better off rushing down Stryker more than trying some dumb zoning game.

lmao! hey not everyone can be godlike with a character over night, the player was still learning him i guess.

yea i tend to to try and rush down characters that seem to have superior zoneing to cyrax. its been effect for the most part

He gave a cocky answer which was no help at all. Just because an answer is straightforward doesn't mean it's correct, I can't just sit there and just block while he builds meter can I? Stryker's gun outspeeds cyrax's bombs, "use your brains kid". Can't belive Cyrax is your main! :O

Cheers Mustard, your reply helped alot acctually.
