Balrog has | 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. | ||

Another of his worst match-ups,Low Tiger Shots are the best to jump in and punish him with Jumping Fierce/Roundhouse,at medium range poke him with your Far Fierce and Crouch Roundhouse,if Sagat use Tiger Uppercut,punish him with Dash Upper or Straight if you are a bit far,if you are close of the blocked Upper,punish him with your RFWA,Tiger Knee must be blocked and punish with a hold. | |||

Another bad match-up,Dictador had better pokes with fastest startup,Psycho Crusher must be blocked and then punished with hold him,close Jab are fine to keep him away or comboing,and Stomp can be punished with a jumping Roundhouse easily,Crouching Roundhouse its your best poke for medium range and wake ups,your main plan is to avoid Corner and be in the midscreen as long as possible. | |||
Turn Around Punch can be nice as a surprise attack if Dictador walks to get close to you,and a Slide is the main attack to punish him with a jumping Fierce and linked to a Crouching Roundhouse and then a Dash Upper or Straight wake up. | |||

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
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. E.Honda
Vs. Blanka
Vs. Guile
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. Chun Li
Vs. Zangief
Vs. Dhalsim
Vs. Boxer
Vs. Claw
Evade his Barcelona and punish him with Jumping Fierce/Roundhouse
Vs. Sagat
Another of his worst match-ups,Low Tiger Shots are the best to jump in and punish him with Jumping Fierce/Roundhouse,at medium range poke him with your Far Fierce and Crouch Roundhouse,if Sagat use Tiger Uppercut,punish him with Dash Upper or Straight if you are a bit far,if you are close of the blocked Upper,punish him with your RFWA,Tiger Knee must be blocked and punish with a hold.
Vs. Dictador
Another bad match-up,Dictador had better pokes with fastest startup,Psycho Crusher must be blocked and then punished with hold him,close Jab are fine to keep him away or comboing,and Stomp can be punished with a jumping Roundhouse easily,Crouching Roundhouse its your best poke for medium range and wake ups,your main plan is to avoid Corner and be in the midscreen as long as possible.
Turn Around Punch can be nice as a surprise attack if Dictador walks to get close to you,and a Slide is the main attack to punish him with a jumping Fierce and linked to a Crouching Roundhouse and then a Dash Upper or Straight wake up.
