You can't really expect to sound like the pros right away. It takes a long time to learn how to do these things, that's why we pay to hear people who are good at it.
So instead of trying to sound like Scrillex, try to learn how synthesis works and make some new sounds. Then by the time you understand how Sytrus works, you won't have to sound like Scrillex, you can be the next Scrillex, and we can have twenty threads a week asking how to make a bass like Gubstep.

I can't believe I missed this. THANK YOU AGAIN, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!

Also to those who said you should try and make your own sound, I am trying but the results I'm getting right now aren't that great. This is my first dubstep song that I'm constantly going to update until I'm 100% happy, but the bassline still sounds kind of iffy due to the end synth I have right now.

Why do you want to sound like Scrillex (or anybody else for that matter)? You don't like Scrillex cause he sounds like someone else, you like him cause he sounds like Scrillex right? So why would someone else like you because you sound like Scrillex? Why wouldn't they just listen to Scrillex?
Second, it'll probably take you a couple of years before you can make decent tunes. What are the chances that yoy yoy yoy will still be the thing at that point?
Third, Sytrus gives you so many options, six oscillators with fm, all the filters and effects, etc. There are so many possible sounds in Sytrus that no one has ever heard, why would you try to make one that's already been used in bare tunes?

One tip for making dubstep-style basses (not Scrillex specifically): set Osc 1 = sine, Osc 2 = saw, then fm osc 1 with osc 2 (turn the knob in the first row, second column). Put it through different filters, use a cutoff envelope, etc.
I just made this in five minutes by twirling the cutoff and resonance knobs:

Some of the sounds are shit, some are good.
