Cyrax
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Jump Kick Punish: Cyrax is one of the only characters that can punish jump kicks on block. He accomplishes this using Air Throw.
  • Great Throw: Cyrax's throw is a launcher. Cyrax can opt to combo off the throw or start a throw vortex.
  • Relaunched Easily: Robots can be relaunched by every character except Reptile no matter what.
  • Poor Jabs: Robot's LP Jabs have poor range and priority. Cyrax relies on a far ranged Net to force glitch jabbing opponents into blockstun.
  • No LK, HK, Sweep Punish: Cyrax does not have a special move that punishes LK, HK or Sweep on block.
  • Weak Mids: Cyrax's mid auto combo only does 19%. His only other mid option is Net, which is unsafe on block at close ranges.
  • Tall Running Hitbox: Cyrax cannot run under instant air projectiles like Kabal's instant air Gas Blast or Mileena's instant air Sai.
