Cyclops 101... basics & general strats

Can some body explain some of the shortcuts? What is jp. And fierce, is light punch + heavY?

Im looking into cyclops, doubting between him and cable. I know cables higher, but I like cyclops

Well jp looks like poor notation for some form of jumping punch… doesn’t suggest the specific punch… should be noted more like j.lp (jumping light punch)… fierce is done in one of 2 ways… hit the fierce punch or kick button… OR go through magic series combo to it… like lp, lk, mp, mk, fp (fierce punch)… its the mp you can’t get unless you combo to it…

Cyke has way more tools… and is better than cable in most ways… except for cables AHVB which makes him waaaay better than cyke overall… moral of the story is I would say as an AA assist/meter builder for someone else… go cyke… but as a point or an anchor… cable is far better…

Another fun one I almost NEVER see anyone do… and is a great counter for most projectiles…

optic sweep xx mega optic blast… so simple… and strangely enough is pretty good against a lot of sent’s fullscreen barrage of projectiles… tho… I believe it can be rolled out of if they time it well…
