Cyrax
A skilled Motswana warrior, Cyrax relies on his natural fighting ability, his chi, to carry out Lin Kuei missions. He is proud to serve, but when the Grand Master initiates a program to convert the clan into cyborgs, Cyrax resists. He is reluctant to lose his humanity, which he believes is more effective than any mechanical augmentation. He has contemplated leaving the clan, fearing that it is no longer an organization of honorable assassins. Cyrax knows, however, that such a decision means death at the hands of his former comrades. No one leaves the Lin Kuei.

Command Normals
Tooth + Nail Reset
from forums:
Cyrax's F + bp, like his command grab, causes a long stagger on hit. Cancel F + bp into Short Bomb on hit, then follow up with (dash, bp, fp ~ Net). The timing is fairly strict. Hitting with the tip of F + bp makes it easier to follow up. If the opponent stops blocking at any point, the net pushes them away from the bomb and resets the situation. When the finally decide to block the net, it doesn't push them back so the bomb gets them instead. This does less damage than the command grab set-up if they block it the first time, so use it only against people who like to press buttons.
Kombo Attacks
Cyber Beatdown:
from forums:
Command throw that hits high. Only way to avoid this is crouching without blocking. Opponent can break this by pressing FP. Main part of the unavoidable bomb trap. You can get the grab 100% guaranteed off of a jump in punch that is blocked, although it can still be broken.
Special Attacks
Net Damage Scaling Reset
from forums:
Whiffing any move before hitting a netted and grounded opponent confuses the game into thinking the combo is over. As such, you can continue the combo without the scaling that everything up to and including the net would normally impose. You can even use another net and the opponent won't immediately recover.

1. Hold block so you won't dash, otherwise the bomb timing will miss. Release block right before you input the key so you won't get the ex version.
2. This is the tricky part, as you only need to connect the second hit. If you don't it won't bounce him high enough to do the full end combo.
3. additional note from forums: after the initial jump in punch, fp, bp ~ Net, do not back dash. You build more meter, and reset the damage scaling if you teleport verses back dash here.
