Cyber has way too many bad matchups to be considered top tier and he has no mechanic that's broken or even overpowered. His 3,4 overhead can be fuzzy guarded easily, his b3,2 is slow to come out and easy to guard, and his shittily mapped mid-bomb stops him from pressuring with same speed and efficiency as other characters. His pokes are bad too.
The only thing slightly suspect about Cyber is some character's inability to punish his divekick, but divekicks are the only way Cyber can really "zone." As far as his bomb trap, it's only a trap if they're in the corner because otherwise they can opt to roll back and avoid it completely.
I would be very surprised if they nerfed Cyber.
Cyber needs no Nerfs.
Cyber rolls certain characters or gets rolled by the rest, he can't be top tier as his match ups are just ridiculous. I will lose to a fairly average Ermac player 8 times out of 10.
His bombs do not work, and have two sets of rules, whilst Cyrax gets a free pass.
His X-ray can only be fired out naked and in the air, it will only chain off
, in a juggle, and midscreen it will wiff...
He can't close space without dive kicking, and they will be fully punished if hit above the waist, and you have to relay on dive kicks as his bombs cannot be relied on to zone your opponent, as they pose no threat, because they don't even freeze...
Even if i throw a mid bomb, it wont reach the opponent full screen, and if I throw a long bomb, it will go past the opponent with half a dash, so closing space safely still does not work.
I can't dash back or forward into a
without spitting a bomb and getting fully combo'd.
Being able to Parry back to back means that Cyber's pokes
and
are reduced in speed and recovery, but the Back to Back parry against poking characters is useless, and against characters that can't poke, they get shut out completely.
He needs his bombs to freeze everytime, as there are no possible infinities with his double freeze rule, there will be no more traps than what cyrax already has.
He needs his
string to chain dive kick special moves to finally make sense of his juggle combos, you can
from it, but for some reason, no dive kicks.
If this character gets a single nerf then Il never step another foot near him again, Its already hard enough to win with him.
