KKB causes Balrog to spin, avoiding any projectiles during its animation. He can also cancel into KKB from and of his dash punches, greatly increasing its forward moving distance. KKB can go into two moves: Buffalo Swing which is a quick hook punch, and Buffalo Pressure which is an overhead that is +3 on hit allowing a combo if in range.

FFB has Balrog shuffle in place, buffing his next Dash Straight. On block, it becomes +2, and on hit, it launches, allowing you to juggle into another Dash Straight. Getting hit doesn't remove the buff like some other buff V-Skills. The input for your next Dash Straight also changes from charge b, f, to just b, f. No charge required to use. This makes random Dash Straights in neutral more scary, as it gives Balrog good damage and corner carry on hit, and pressure if it's blocked.

Crazy Rush is a 3 bar V-Trigger that allows Balrog to cancel his Dash Straight and Dash Grand Blow into another, up to 5 times for regular and 3 for EX versions. This greatly increases his combo damage. Any of the dash punches can also be canceled into KKB for a quick high/low mixup when combined with his Dash Grand Blow, or to continue juggling into another set of rush punches.

No Mercy is a two bar V-Trigger that gives Balrog access to a new special, B3. B3 is a short ranged command grab that can be canceled into from any normal, which also extends its range. Its biggest benefit is the 350 stun it does. Balrog can up to 2 per V-Gauge, with whiffing one taking about 25% of the meter.

V-Trigger Cancels

V System

V Reversal

A 17f strike reversal, Balrog performs his old Buffalo Headbutt special knocking the opponent away

V Skill 1

KKB causes Balrog to spin, avoiding any projectiles during its animation. He can also cancel into KKB from and of his dash punches, greatly increasing its forward moving distance. KKB can go into two moves: Buffalo Swing which is a quick hook punch, and Buffalo Pressure which is an overhead that is +3 on hit allowing a combo if in range.

V Skill 2

FFB has Balrog shuffle in place, buffing his next Dash Straight. On block, it becomes +2, and on hit, it launches, allowing you to juggle into another Dash Straight. Getting hit doesn't remove the buff like some other buff V-Skills. The input for your next Dash Straight also changes from charge b, f, to just b, f. No charge required to use. This makes random Dash Straights in neutral more scary, as it gives Balrog good damage and corner carry on hit, and pressure if it's blocked.

V Trigger 1

Crazy Rush is a 3 bar V-Trigger that allows Balrog to cancel his Dash Straight and Dash Grand Blow into another, up to 5 times for regular and 3 for EX versions. This greatly increases his combo damage. Any of the dash punches can also be canceled into KKB for a quick high/low mixup when combined with his Dash Grand Blow, or to continue juggling into another set of rush punches.

V Trigger 2

No Mercy is a two bar V-Trigger that gives Balrog access to a new special, B3. B3 is a short ranged command grab that can be canceled into from any normal, which also extends its range. Its biggest benefit is the 350 stun it does. Balrog can up to 2 per V-Gauge, with whiffing one taking about 25% of the meter.
