So with the recent PC Beta and Ed Boon delivering yet another cryptic tweet hinting at a balance patch, i thought that maybe I would make a thread for the Cyrax changes that I think should happen
Buffs that I think that should absolutely happen:
1. FIX THE FUCKING TELEPORT GLITCH, this makes cyrax's armor even less usable than it already as it severely lengthens recovery times on normal and EX teleport making teleport even less of an option. (The glitch/bug happens just by Cyrax hitting the opponent with an EX teleport)
2. Make EX Teleport Launch, as it stands right now we have an armored wakeup/reversal that is slow, doesn't combo, does poor damage, AND it is punishable. There is little reason for the opponent so respect this option as we have spent the bar just so we can get a little breathing room. Did i also mention that landing EX tele makes net misfire even though it doesnt combo? That is right if you manage to get enough of a juggle to throw out a net, it will misfire.
3. Buff AA grab so that it actually anti-airs, this a fundamental problem in MKX where jump-ins are absurdly powerful and these moves dedicated to ANTI-AIRING don't work. If the anti-air moves in this game were actually good against all jump-ins, characters could start forcing opponents play ground game more. This could be done by decreasing the start-up frames of the move, or increasing the upward hitbox, or a combination of the two.
Buffs that I want but won't hurt if it doesn't happen:
1. F2 becomes a true mid; I don't use the move at all for being a mid because it gets low profiled so easily, if it is gonna be a mid, hit mid.
2. A damage increase where combos do 2% than right now so his BnB goes from 31% to 33%, for that amount of hits i think that combos should do a little more damage
3. S3 to be 7 frames so I can be JagoBlake and hit them with that REACTION BREH (it looks exactly like Scorpions S3 and its +2 as well so why not paste the rest)
Buffs that would be hilarious but broken:
1. Give bombs manual detonation where inputting the bomb input again will make it explode(Demo Cyrax) Gimme that mix
2. EX Saw is armored just like Jason's EX machete toss (8 frame launching projectile)
3. Copy and Paster Displacer teleport onto Cyrax teleport
The first 3 buffs are adressing issues that i think Cyrax has, the second three are personal preference and the last three NEED to happen.
