Anyone been using cyke on point recently as 1st or 2nd char on a team? Lookin for a few ideas if anyone has any in mind.

Are ground fierces really even that useful anymore. In earlier games you could always cancel ground fierces into a special, which made them real good, now they’re uncancellable and the lag on them just sucks, they still have their uses like for stopping a hailstorm I guess, but now you gotta make a choice… bullet or jab optic since you can’t do both, and to me I think jab optic is better for pinning. Why would ground fierces be better now than jab optic is what I’m askin I guess.

Also, when a sent is flying about mid screen with capcom assist, at the range where far away enough to avoid a fierce gene splice on reaction but close enough to hit cyke if he does anything, what’re the best options for cyke with drones in that situation.

and does anyone have any assist baiting tactics for cyke to setup a sob combo that would keep pointman pinned?

cyclops can link his fps into a jab optic blast you well technically… its not a cancel more like canceling after the recovery. Go to training mode to practice the timing its not hard though

cant you do a double team special instead for instance, if aaa causes you to do mob as a 2 button supper then if you have sent on your team you can do double team to keep the opponent pinned (drones might hit assist char too with a chance for point to escape) how about double team super with storms lightning storm? that covers the area around cyke not covered by mob,.

Come on josh, you serious? Tryin to say do a team super when sent is flying midscreen? I hope not. Or to punish assists? Even if it hurt the assist safely I dont think the damage is worth burning 2-3 meters. Cyke needs his meters too much to waste it like that. If you get a good SOB on an assist char not sent it does a good 40% life at least, better to find ways to get that. BTW always aim at the toes when you’re punishing assists with SOB.

Lookin back at that old ass post… here’s a few ideas on some things you can do, no guarantees that they’re all failsafe. Can always just jump away building bar and he’ll come to you, just know when to block. If he tries to unblockable you falling down then optic blast xx sob before you land and you can hit him. Flying midscreen then jumpback + drones and optic blast on the way down. If he’s already flying low toward you… early jump rh + assist then dj to make it safe. Flying low backwards… tk optic blast, flying upback sj optic blast. And if he’s tryin to stomp your ass… gene splice + drones/typhoon to cover. Still hard as hell to do the perfect thing every time, flying sent is just too quick can do whatever he wants and change it on a dime. I don’t know. Better than jumping around like a moron spamming sj.rh and doing random supers though I guess… or is it?

That’s not very good in this game…

yea jake sorry it was just a funky idea i havent tested just asking whether or not it would work, your right about his meters though he needs them shits. Combofiend has double team supers that work for days so im pretty spoiled when it comes to those. Against assist isn’t best just to do SOB since you hurt assist and cover your ass at the same time? Ill think of something and post later when i have something useful to say…

[Jake]

its all good, I see gene and them using team supers all the time too with sent/im, mob in team super is crappy though compared to proton cannon. Can’t mash it in team super and it already does way less hits anyways. Better to have some kind of discussion than nothin though right, this place been dead for years lol.

Maybe I should clarify what I meant

does anyone have any assist baiting tactics for cyke to setup a sob combo that would keep pointman pinned?

Dependent upon your spacing you can keep them pinned with a cr.fp optic bullet and link into jab optic blast cancelled into SOB
