Yeah I've been lacking this month but all the time I've spent playing since the DLC drop has been Sektor and Cyrax.
I love Sektor, but I started messing with Cyrax a couple days ago and I just can't stop playing her. This is deadass the perfect Cyrax moveset, IMO. She's cheap af just requiring a little execution for some of the setups.
Just dipping my toes into the character now, but Sub Zero seems super good - feels like every move he has does something Cyrax wants. Ice armor is great, shoulder is great to actually end a string in a safe way, and freeze gives disgusting setups and turns b1 into a full combo. Early days but parry conceptually seems really great, with uses like d1 parry, whiff punish with parry, or mixing 23 parry, 23 parry throw (plus, jails s1), 234 (plus), etc.

played against someone using Sareena for the B1 combo as well. having to deal with the extra threat of B1 up close and projectiles in the range game makes Cyrax so much more frustrating to deal with imo
EDIT: I don't think the Sub ice armor is really a factor when she can trade a goo ball in the zoning game and go into the vortex.

idk I think goo ball is great but sometimes you are just going to get zoned and will take a lot of damage / chip waiting for that trade to happen, especially not great if you're at a life deficit.
