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. Due to activation scaling and the fact that you need to use a bit of V-Gauge to make it safe on block, it's difficult to pick and choose when exactly to use VT1 to make the most of it.
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. Connecting with a B3 uses about 1/2 of your gauge, while whiffing it takes up about 1/4. Functionally, you'll get two uses out of it. Although not doing much damage, it's biggest benefit is the 350 stun it does. With the added oki and ability to cancel into it from normals and target combos in season 5, this makes the situation very tense and scary if he ever does land one.
