Story

Scott Summers, known by his hero name of Cyclops, is a mutant capable of generating concussive force-based, red-colored beams from his eyes. He has fought for peace and equality between humans and mutants ever since joining the X-Men.

Hero, freedom fighter, strategist - Cyclops has been dubbed many things, and he continues to do so as the leader of his own faction of X-Men, fighting to protect a world that hates and fears them.

In Marvel vs Capcom 2, Cyclops is a jack-of-all-trades type character, and Marvel's version of the Shoto, with projectile, uppercut, and tatsu special moves. Generally, he is relegated to an assist, as his anti-air assist is among the best in the game, but this does not mean Cyclops cannot play well on point. He has a good set of powerful normals, a good variety of special moves, and two great supers - and can play in a wide variety of playstyles. This character, though not a god-tier character, is extremely solid in both ranged and close-up gameplay. Coupled with characters like Sentinel, he can be a real threat to a number of characters on the roster.

If you like Captain Commando's assist, then this character is very similar in respects to assist use, but has a better combo game, and builds meter incredibly fast, having the use of a double-jump and two roundhouse variations.

Gameplay

Cyclops is a jack-of-all-trades, though not nearly as dominant as Storm is. Although he is not god tier, he is in the top 10 for the best characters in the game, and possesses a solid ability to both rushdown and zone out.

Standing medium punch... again.

7	10	5	16	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-

Launcher
3HK//

+

Crouching medium kick, but better.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
7	3	6	18	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
Cyclops' fastest grounded normal is this launcher. Good anti-air, decent priority, hits high above his head, and launches the opponent on hit.

Special Moves

Optic Blast
236 + P // QCF+P //

+

(Air OK)

Cyclops' fireball.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10	13 (LP), 11 (HP), 11 (Air)	-	33 (LP), 33 (HP), 27 (Air)	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	Super	-	-	-
Cyclops shouts "Optic blast!" and fires a beam across the screen. Hits full screen about 5 frames after startup, can be cancelled into supers to punish fullscreen whiffed moves. HP fires at a 45 degree angle, the air version maintains a bit of your initial momentum.

Gene Splice
623 + P // DP+P //

+

Yes, he is completely invincible on startup.

Mash buttons to see this part of the move.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10	6	20	28 (LP), 38 (HP)	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	Super	-	-	-
Cyclops' dragon punch. Fully invincible until and past when it hits, active for a long time, and fires a projectile upward at the 3rd image. Great get-off-me tool, especially as an assist.

Cyclone Kick
214 + K // QCB+K //

+

Cyclops' tatsu.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
6, 14	11	6, 6	26	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Super	-	-	-
Cyclops leaps forward with a spinning kick, lands, then does a sweeping kick along the ground. No difference between versions. Good damage, forward movement, and hitstun for super cancelling.

Optic Sweep

File:MVC2 Cyclops QCD 01.png

Shoots a beam along the ground.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
14	18	-	31	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	Super	-	-	-
Cyclops lays down and fires a beam along the ground. Knocks down on hit. At point blank range, this can whiff. The worst part is that this isn't even a low attack, it's a mid. Not a great move.

Rapid Punches
[4]6 + p // CHBF+p // Charge

,

+

A flurry of attacks, mash buttons to get them.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
6, 6, 7, 6, 8, 12	18	2, 3, 4, 4, 4, -	44	HL

Projectile	Super	-	-	-
Cyclops rushes forward with a flurry of elbows and knees, ending in an optic bullet. You typically don't see this special move all that much, but it does do very nice damage. Any of the hits before the projectile are cancelable to super.
