@DKG Syclant is my secondary character, and I can say, he's much better against humans over computers. His controls are a bit jumbled, and I still accidentally pull off the wrong moves occasionally, but if you have reflexes, he's great against people. Against computers, he has a hard time since their reflexes are nearly instantaneous.
A good strategy I found against people (it worked pretty well against Lurker and Cartoons) is to continuously trip the opponent, and Syclant's far reaching and long lasting trip and Double Team is perfect for this.
You trip them once, as they get up, trip them again. The only way for them to block the next trip is to hold down and block. As they don't want to be tripped again, they'll probably try it. Double Team to avoid it, and trip them from the other side.
It's all mind games from then on. Me and C! had a Syclant ditto that had our different playstyles and shows this tech, but I dunno if C! recorded it.
