Introduction
There is nothing Balrog loves more than money and women. Banned from the professional boxing circuit for being too ruthless in his matches (many opponents ended up hospitalized), Balrog's attempts to become rich through boxing came to a crashing halt. However, his pure strength and unadulterated power did not go unnoticed by one important individual: the leader of Shadaloo, M. Bison. Promised riches beyond all dreams, Balrog now does much of the dirty work for M. Bison as one of his top henchmen with gleeful pleasure.
Balrog is a unique character whose only true weakness is also his greatest strength. He excels in all areas of both offensive and defensive spectrums...but he must constantly switch between utilizing one or the other. He has a ferocious offensive approach if he does not defend himself, and an iron fortress of a defense as long as he does not get impatient and rush into battle. To that end, the boxer's tools in battle are designed to cater well on both fronts. His anti-air option are very good, and he can play an excellent mixup/footsie game as well. If you want a character who epitomizes the term "balance", Balrog may be your man.
