Cyrax vs Night Wolf
Match up opinion:
4-6 Nightwolf
Info:This match up depends on how fast/well the Cyrax player can rushdown/force mistakes on the NW player. If Nightwolf has a bar, your ability to throw bombs full screen or anywhere at all is nullified, as ex shoulder goes completely full screen and pushes back pretty far. Do not get predictable with the bomb throwing either, standing still too long versus Nightwolf is not a pleasant thing to do(LIGHTNING!!!!). NW can not reflect nets, so be sure to have them out as much as you can, when you know it'll be safe. (Don't throw them out on his wake up) Be aware of Nightwolf's wake up options, guessing wrong could result in Cyrax missing his opportunity to rush down/position himself.
NW has five ways to wake up. Shoulder, which can be punished by neutral ducking (which if they see coming can be punished with a wake up lightning or hatchet.) wake up hatchet, which is invincible as soon as he gets the hatchet out. Ex hatchet, which is invincible regardless if he gets it out or not(and safe I might add), ex command grab which is also invincible on wake up(also safe), and finally ex shoulder, which has two hits and can be hit in between them. (safe if you don't punish in between.)
Ideas:Your best bet to fight NW is too play a completely aggressive style that throws NW off guard. Be ready to guess five ways on his wake up, and keep mobile as much as possible, while also attempting to bait something out. (Keep in mind nearly everything he does is safe on block, and even gives him + frames) Otherwise you'll eat a lightning bolt, arrow, or shoulder. NW players like myself throw them out randomly, to train you to expect it and neutral duck, then lightning bolt and repeat the process.
Results:Will get back later with Towel to post our results.
