| Balrog is a strange case where the new system doesn’t benefit him in the same way it benefits
| |
| other Street Fighters. In Street Fighter IV, Balrog has a multiple of ways he could deal with
| |
| zoners such EX Dashing attacks and the Focus Attack mechanic. In Street Fighter x Tekken, it
| |
| takes longer to build the meter he needs to use his EX Dashing attacks, and there is no focus
| |
| attack to make up for it. That being said, something he did get in return was the ability to press
| |
| buttons at will. The quick recovery and frame advantage of his boost combos on block are well
| |
| above average than most other characters, allowing him the ability to easily confirm into his
| |
| partner who can pick up the slack. The low angle of his jump and his fast walkspeed allow him
| |
| to put pressure on fireball characters at mid range, and if Balrog can stay in the opponent’s
| |
| face, he can almost certainly guarantee a breach in their defense. Particularly dangerous is his
| |
| far HP. Not only does it have exceptional reach, but it causes a crumple stun on counterhit,
| |
| which is something Balrog can take full advantage of thanks to his Turn Punches causing a wall
| |
| bounce on airborne opponents (the opponent is left in an airborne state towards the end of the
| |
| crumple stun). Play Balrog if you want to start off the match with an aggressive approach and
| |
| set a tone of offense.
