This was a runback after evaluating the opening game and exploring the matchup more. Looking back, still made a lot of mistakes, but I'm getting better at the matchup. I also gained a wealth of information for an up and coming thread as well.
Generally Cyborgs goal is to build meter as fast as possible and open strong, while Atrocitus goal is to pop trait early before Cyborg gains meter and push him to the corner. 3 push blocks gets rid of trait, so having two bars means less chip and "oppression session" on your end. Also, you can push block the shield, or on a read, do EX fireball to blow it up if he dashes in. Another thing is using d1 in neutral to check his strings and buffer into SD or PF is also essential.
