So this is a new setup that i've been working on after seeing ScarsUnseen testing it on stream. What it consists of is putting a mid ground bomb and a close air bomb so when the opponent is grabbed the first bomb goes off then they get it by the second bomb giving Cyrax a full combo meterlessly and for some pretty good damage as well.
These are the scenarios of escaping the throw setup:
As you can see, it will break armor and blowup the backdash, but all jump options are viable escape tools.
But a HTB can be setup from this as well in which the options of escape so far seem to be to block it(unless you have an invincible move or you are GORO!!!!!)
Scenarios of escape:
If you land the throw you get some nice damage and another setup:
32% Combo into a double bomb setup
The HTB surprisingly gets less damage and less of a setup(mainly due to cyrax getting knocked down during the combo):
NOTE: You can sometimes get the OH to hit first but its so rare from what i've seen that its not worth banking on
Now from looking at this the you'd want to go for the throw combo most of the time but if the opponent sees this they would just jump out, so the HTB serves as a conditioning tool to get the throw to land when you really need it(Plus its a HTB so
).
(EDIT: ALL CREDIT TO SCARSUNSEEN FOR FINDING THE THROW THING)
If discussion happens PLEASE be civilized. This is a tech thread not an "Argue about Cyrax's tools and viability thread."
