If Cyrus actually possessed the ability he would have actually done it by now, instead of losing every fight he's ever been in. That being said, he has never shown the ability to do that in canon.

Clearly the developers intended to show what the weapons he had were capable of even if he never used that in the story. He wouldn't want to, last time I checked Cyrax is aligned with good.

Fatalities have been used as "joke" moves, and have things like Liu Kang dropping an arcade machine, hence the reason fatalities are hard to grasp as canon many times.
And where the hell did he store so many bombs anyways?
You think it isn't actually capable for Sub-Zero to freeze someone and then uppercut them? Only because it never happens in the story? Of course not. Same thing here. Only difference is that people will have a hard time accepting it because it would make Cyrax too strong for their liking.
Oh, and before it's compared to supernova.
Cyrax Blows up the planet, everything dies, end of story.
Sephiroth uses supernova Nothing dies, the planet is still there.
Reasons why I think it counts.
-Not a gameplay balance restriction
-It's within the same games as the rest of the canon series
-It's a cutscene

Sub-Zero has been shown using ice powers outside of fatalities, so that's a bad example.

It doesn't make much sense seeing as they would just use the ability in the first place if so, and really would you let a cyborg walk around with that in case they malfunction?

He has not shown in his story the ability to blow up the planet, and Smoke had that move too. I guess Liu Kang can drop arcade machines on people as well.
There is no reason Liu Kang could not drop a arcade cabinet on a mofo in the story.
Cyrax Fatality should count IMO but whatever. I don't recall the developers ever stating the fatalities are 100 non- canon. They seem like what-ifs. Don't think it would have been a dealbreaker though for Ryu. He still has a speed and strentgh advantage.
Cyrax may get some new stuff in the new game so wait for that.

Lol, would Cyrax not kill himself, too?
And is Ryu really going 2 let Cyrax pop out all those bombs without doing anything? AND, if the thread starter feels that Cyrax can just blow up the planet, Y even make the thread?
This smakcs of fishyness.
