Advanced Strategy

He is a close combat rushdown and ground poking character,he had heavy damaging standing normals,but with poor startups but great normals hitboxes ,except in jump ins.

His hold isn't useful for setups, outside to poke with a crouching Roundhouse, but one of the strongest and with better range than other ones

Fortunately,in Japanese version is really buffed,Dash Straight had better hitbox and can hit crouching characters and Turn Punch can be charged.

Main objetive of the boxer,is to connect a RFWA and comboed with a Dash Straight or Upper linked crouching Roundhouse in close combat,for medium and long range he must use his standing Fierce and crouching Roundhouse for poking and answers projectiles with a jumping Roundhouse/Fierce due to his large hitbox.

Anyway beware about beign cross up easily,you are a tall opponent only inferior to Sagat and Zangief.

Match-Ups

Serious Advantage Matchups

Balrog has no match-ups where he is at a serious advantage

Advantage Matchups

Balrog has no match-ups where he is at an advantage

Vs. Ryu

A tough matchup for Balrog. Ryu has better range on most of his quicker attacks with your only decent one being cr. HK and not the best speed. Can just crouch most of your attacks. Once he starts throwing fireballs it's hard to stop him unless you are preemptively jumping over it knowing he will do another one(Chances are you'll be eating a shoryuken instead). If you are cornered by fireballs all you can do is block and wait if they do something else(Not likely though). Only way to win this matchup is a great deal patience, and getting lucky with random TAPs, and landing any headbutts.

Vs. Ken

Pretty much the same as Ryu except Ken can travel way further with his shoryukens, and does even more damage if you make a mistake.

Vs. Dictador
