Balrog Beginner Thread

There’s no input delay online, it’s rollback netcode ya whiner ;p

I haven’t heard anything of VT combo adjustments, so I assume we’re safe. However his EX straight damage is lower, so they won’t do as much damage.

and a rollback netcode can have input delays too! but you are from germany so its ok…this time ! :peace:
well…i dont trust these pre empty infos. i wait for the final notes. maybe i get the hang of the vskill cancel to ex till then :stuck_out_tongue:

How are people using TAP? I’m not seeing the use for it in this game?

I haven’t implemented if yet but everything lvl 3 and up is actually plus on block… I’m still getting used to dp addition though.

It’s actually pretty good vs Akuma nonsense.

Just saw tap used as a combo extender after cc… I’ll try and snip the twitch vid in a bit

Here it is:

v-skill + P exists, so TAP for the most part IMO has been kinda invalidated. Think about it, v-skill/TAP cover a similar distance and have similar start-up and you don’t give up two buttons. TAP gives you a super cancel…and potential v-skill cancel shenanigans?

Only reason I see to use TAP is to use the higher levels to get + on block pressure. Or just use it to get in considering lp rush is -4.

To anyone having trouble connecting cr hp to screw smash i found it a lot easier to hold down forward on cr hp instead of just holding down. Hope this helps

This sub is quite inactive. Is there a place for Balrog discussion somewhere else?

Yea idk what happen here defiantly not live like “balrog’s Army” us to be :frowning:

I know I’m a lot less active because getting into matches in SF5 is a fucking headache if you want to play online. In SF4 it was easy peasy to actually play matches with randoms.

The rest of the Internet happened… people rather go to twitter or that shit show that is discord before having actually discussions online.

Sad but i guess true…

Is there a way to make dash straight, forward P, vskill K tighter? I am trying but I get counter hit by 6 framers, and trade with 7 framers.
Also, what’s the general advantage after vtrigger forward P, vskill?

edit: disregard the first part, I’m dumb

Hey guys. I need some help. Really struggling to improve right now. I am particularly confused about what to do in neutral vs. Bison and Juri. Please check out my latest ranked matches vs. those two characters. I can’t anti air Bison to save my life and I keep getting counter hit out of my frame traps vs. Juri. The latter is particularly confusing. Seems to happen a lot after I hit her with M dash punch.

Also, what are my meaties after crush counter sweep and CC HP?
