Evading Cyclops's first and second special

Clatonius

I got dexterity and when I am fighting Cyclops I only can evade the first two attacks of the special and got hit by the third.If you know how to evade the whole special attack please inform me

I can evade first. Never tried against second because i can never dodge back in time to evade the punch, and when my block is being hit i can hardly ever manage to dodge back after unless there is a long time difference between hits(like void sp1, bishop sp2, masacre sp1 and 2). For his sp1, you have to wait for the beam to be fired before dodging, otherwise it'll be too early. Same for bishop's sp2.

Ok thank you

What I do is just evade first 2 attacks then block quickly.

The biggest key for avoiding specials is anticipating them. For example, when Cyclops gets 1 bar of power, keep an eye on his stance. He'll bring his feet together and stand up really straight before shooting his optic blast. When you see his feet come together, get ready to dodge. There's less than a second to react, so you have to be ready for it. As someone said, you have to basically let the beam fire before evading to successfully dodge all 3 hits.

Cyclops' L2 special is very rhythmic. Once you find that rhythm, it's easy to avoid. Swipe back to evade the first punch, swipe back again to avoid the kick, then swipe back a third time to avoid the beam. The length of time between your 3rd swipe and your 2nd swipe should be the same as the time between the 2nd swipe and 1st swipe.

If you’re getting clipped by the later part of his specials, you’re probably evading too early
