This isn’t just another style — Cyber Style completely redefines how you play on the court. You’re no longer just playing to outmaneuver or outscore — you’re managing Psycho energy, cybernetic risk, and explosive awakenings that can shift the match in seconds.
Whether you’re sprinting with leg implants, launching instant shots with arm upgrades, or activating Try Me to punish ball stealers — this style is all about momentum and control.
CYBER STYLE – Core Mechanics Explained
The Psycho Bar
This is your Cyber fuel gauge. Every cybernetic implant or effect you trigger adds to the bar. When it fills up — all your implants are disabled, but you’re temporarily granted a massive stat boost that powers every aspect of your game.
Key Points:
- Implants give buffs — but also fill the Psycho Bar.
- When the bar maxes:
- Implant buffs vanish
- You gain a supercharged stat boost for a short time.
This means every decision counts — use your powers too freely, and you’ll overload. Time them right, and you’ll snowball.
CYBERNETIC IMPLANTS – How They Work
Implants are automatic enhancements that apply as part of your Cyber Style. Each one offers a strong buff while slowly charging your Psycho Bar.
Leg Implants
- Effect: Movement speed boost
- Perfect for breaking ankles or fast transitions after a steal
Arm Implants
- Effect: Faster shooting release
- Ideal for quick catch-and-shoots or turning tight plays into easy buckets
ON-BALL & OFF-BALL ABILITIES
Try Me (On the Ball)
- Description: While dribbling, you’re immune to steals for a few seconds.
- Bonus Effect: If someone attempts to steal from you during this time, they’re frozen, and you get a speed boost.
- Warning: If no one tries to steal — you get penalized, so don’t pop it blindly.
A high-risk, high-reward ability — bait aggressive defenders or get punished.
Mine (Off the Ball)
- Description: Instantly dash toward the ball carrier and attempt a steal.
- Use: Great for intercepts, blindside pressure, or clutch defensive plays.
Excellent for turning defense into offense — especially when paired with speed buffs.
CYBER AWAKENING – What Happens When You Power Up?
Hyperthought (Awakened)
- Freezes every player on the court except you.
- Lets you move freely — ideal for wide-open plays, reset, or guaranteed shots.
The Moon (Final Stage)
- Injects every possible cybernetic into your body.
- Grants a huge Psycho boost — almost like playing on max stats for a short time.
- Unleash chaos. You become a literal cyber demon.
COSMETICS – What’s in the New Rotation?
This update also comes with some clean new drip and animations:
- Cyber Jacket Cosmetic – Futuristic flair
- Cyber Goal Effect – New dunk/score visuals
- You Can’t Run Cutscene Emote – Dripping with intimidation
