A smart Mileena will zone you out with iaSais and will be able to sit on a lifelead. More importantly, once Cyrax does get a lifelead he can't exactly lame it out because if you try to throw a bomb mileena could easily hit you with a dagger and if you try to net your getting hit by a dagger or teleport. 5-5 or slightly in mileenas favour
Rain is a slow character with bad wakeups and no projectile pressure. If you throw a net and rain throws a lightning rain will win the trade for 5%. However, he can not follow the lightning up with the rainball or else he will get netted. At the price of 5% Cyrax gains about an eigth of meter. Rain gets hit hard by bomb traps and gets resetted when he tries to teleport. Cyrax wins the fist fight until rain pulls out his armour. 6-4 Cyrax Favor
About Mileena, laming her out doesnt mean having projectiles on the screen, it just means get a lifelead and not let her hit you. So yes, Cyrax can lame this out, especially if Cage can.
Rain isnt slow, he has a 9 frame launcher and 10 launcher with better footsies than Cyrax could ever have in this game, lightning is a 27% punish on ANY bomb he sees, so bomb pressure doesnt work against him. As well as this any good Rain player will drain meter everytime he catches you, because he can do 50% meterless, whereas Cyrax maxes out at 34% odd. Rain doesnt need to teleport just like how Cyrax doesnt need to teleport. I'd probably put this in Rains favour or 5-5.
Rain doesnt have bad wakeups considering he can stop crossovers with geyser and has a safe waterpistol with armour on EX versions, as well as an armoured teleport. And if you choose to let him stand he can just armour cancel anything else.
Yah a good kenshi who fights cyrax at mid range and know that matchup well will be cyrax definetely.
At low level cyrax is godlike, at high level cyrax is not even top 12
Nah thats definitely not true and you know it. Why do you downplay Cyrax so much?
