Cyrax is a lot of fun, but overall far too much effort to be successful. If you are unsuccessful you can go into run jab tactics. You can try to run to the other side of your opponent before they get up and go for another throw on the cross up, which if timed right is 50/50. His throw also has it's own tactics because it lands strangely. Cyrax can juggle many characters off his regular throw with a LP to net, the damage thereafter is limited but none-to-less it is still damage. Try mixing up bombs and nets in the corner with run jabs to keep your opponent locked down, and when they move go for the air throw. Also, watch for openings for the air throw, which is a very neat and under used move.

Anyone who can get a ducking LK after their autocombo in the corner on anybody can get a standing HK after their combo on them, for example: Liu Kang, HP starter, 7 hit combo is 38% + standing damage protected HK is 46%. Kung Lao can spin them and I believe Nightwolf after his autocombo in the corner when it is performed on the 'just frame' so not only will you take the 34% or more from the auto combo but you're stuck in the corner infinite. They can be relaunched by just about anyone with a launcher combo, easier than most to time, and they are harder to juggle in certain situations, particularly for Ermac and Human Smoke. Some downsides overall to the the Robot Ninjas are: they have some juggle advantages and vulnerabilities in terms of taking hits, watch for them. Go for his 3 hit kick combo mixed in with run jabs. Take advantage of his high damage 6 hit auto off a net for 42% with the jump kick starter, or go for tactics with a roundhouse, setting up bomb scenarios against non teleporters.

Cyrax's problem isn't the damage he can deal, but it's the methods of doing it which generally require a lot of tactics surrounding them. Your main strategy with him is going to revolve around zoning with his bombs and the net, which has a big collision area and leaves little room to punish him from full screen. Overall he is the worst of the three Robot Ninjas, however like Sub-zero, with some effort he can be a beast.
