well i guess those 3 already covered wolverine so ill tell you how i beat cyclops. Cyclops only real move is optic blast so what i do is basically get to his corner by jump blocking. This might be pretty hard to do at first (especially if your not use to the buttons), but when you finally get it beating cyclops is very easy. When you get to his side basically hit him with all the moves you got as fast as you can (try not to do the same move over and over again or else it'll be cheap). He might get one or two blasts in there, but it wont do much damage. Oh and if you want to do a special in the corner be sure to do a down + high kick than suddenly do a special it's sure to hit him. Oh and one way of avoiding damage on your self while the Drill Claw X is if you block and continuously jump back. I figured this out a little while ago when i was playing a wolverine player. The first time i did it it was by accident but i was pretty amazed. Than i tried it 2 more times and it worked. Even though your blocking this could still help allot since the drill claw x takes off WAY to much damage! well hope i helped. (sorry for my extremely bad spelling and punctuation)

EDIT: try and get used to keeping a finger on the back button This way your able to block almost anything.
