There is no such thing. He's dead and gone; effectively removed from the game through excessive nerfs.
thanks, I looked for this but didn't know the name of the tournament
Explendid mind game Mustard played at 1:48. After the NJK and low bomb, Ketchup was conditioned to block low, expecting the b3d4. Mustard did the overhead b1 instead, getting a full 31% combo into the setup again.
This is far from the truth, quit downplaying he is a solid Mid tier character, and is tournament viable.
obviously Cyrax is not removed from the game, he is lower and struggles alot more, but he is viable with pocket characters.
Just because Mustard can win with him doesn't mean he's not a bottom 10 variation in the game. He has no advantages over anyone in the cast and has significant disadvantages against the majority of the cast. His being a very bad character tool/damage wise because of the nerfs is independent of how well any professional does with him. I love Cyrax, I was a Cyrax main through every Mortal Kombat since 3 including 3D era games, but up playing him won't help our cause. Everyone needs to know how bad he is so he has a chance of getting buffed.
maybe we can swap ideas:
Lol dude why are u ashamed to admit that esg jagged=madeofmetal?
I'm not experienced enough with him against every single character to say that he wins lots of match-ups, so far i've played with people and i'm doing fine with cyrax. I'm doing completely fine with cyrax, the match-ups i've had most experience with are: Special Forces Sonya, Sektor, Mystic Ermac, Hollywood Cassie, Balanced Kenshi, Possessed Kenshi and Konjurer Alien. All of these feel like 5-5 match-ups to me. I'm going to need to get more sets with more players. I feel like cyrax beats kenshi 6-4.
Oopsies, posted the wrong link for the first match lol. I'll edit it.
I was pretty dang vocal about how bad the nerfs were, but after some lab time I found out that some of the stuff they said was gone actually wasn't. Drastic frame adv. reduction aside, the whole "only thee bombs per combo" thing is just absolutely false. You can still get mid 30% meterless and like 37% meterless off jump ins, plus you can still land 4 air bombs, build meter, and and chew up tons of time in a single combo.
i gotta ask, people keep saying they are getting 4 hover bombs in one combo, and i missfire after the 3rd, i can get 3 hovers and 3 lows but not a 4th?
I have a 6 bomb swaggy combo, i don't know whats up with your bombs. I'm able to do 4 bombs just fine. F21 xx BF1, RC, DF2, F43, DF2, F43, DF2, 114 xx DD3, Walk Back, F13 xx DB3, Walk Back, 21 xx DD3, D2, B2, 4 xx DB4 = 33%
I think the 4th hover bomb only comes out if it's a close bomb (db2). But yea, Cyrax isn't as bad as we thought at first, it just takes more work to pull of the damage, and you have to condition the opponent more to open them up.
yes thank you.
Sorry man, i play ps4. You can walk back after all versions of bombs, you have enough recovery frames.
so basically i was doing a bomb, then hitting them into it, then i was waiting for xplosion to launch another bomb.
I'm on PS4 sorry man, if any of you are on PS4 as well you can add me. My psn id is the same as my name on here Rebourne07
I'm on PS4, but thank you for asking.
