Cyrax (LK-4D4)
Triborg brings back the classic robotic ninja that Mortal Kombat fans know and love. One of those is Cyrax, the beloved mustard colored cyborg with a penchant for buzz-saws.
Cyrax is all about timing, making this variation perfect for technical fighters. All of its ranged abilities work on a timer, allowing you to work them into combos and help with your juggling endeavors. Bombs and drones will knock your opponent up and stun respectively, while a plasma net can be used to hold an enemy in place giving you a chance to close the distance. Cyrax’s Chest saw is useful at both close to medium range, but enhancing it will send a flying blade across the screen. And if your opponent feels the need to play the distance game, you can always teleport directly to them. Just keep in mind that Cyrax’s teleport ability is slower than most and doesn’t serve as an attack.
It takes a bit of skill to utilize Cyrax. The slow abilities and the need to know when to burn your meter is important. Cyrax isn’t a wait for X-Ray kind of character. If you wan’t to win, make good use of each segment of that bar.
