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.

Costume Gameplay Changes
While Human and Robot Cyrax are simply a costume change, they have different properties.
1. Human Cyrax has a safe teleport, Robot Cyrax does not.
2. Human Cryax has slower bombs and a slower net throw.
3. Human Cyrax cannot do the guaranteed bomb trap after his command throw, Robot Cyrax can.

Tooth + Nail Reset
(not sure if this was fixed after patch)
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:
After patch you can no longer do the bomb trap. Now when you land the command grab the opponent recovers much faster. You still can jump in after a grab and do a mixup. Sadly the time to break the command grab is also increased, making it easier to break.
Special Attacks
Net
The net damage scaling reset is also patched. Teleporting after the net will not affect damage.

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.
