Balrog (Boxer) Combos

it took me awhile to get the timing right too.

group the commands in your head like this:
c.lp c.lp, c.lk hp headbutt

your c.lpx2 will come out like normal. try to delay your c.lk by a hair and cancel that with hp headbutt.
if you want to use music theory as an example…
count 1 2 3 4

1 2 are your c.lp x2, and between 3 and 4 is your c.lk and your 4 is your hp headbutt. i hope this works.

I’ve been trying to read through and get caught up on Boxer, as he’s one of the few I like for online play.

Quick question:
Is there any reason besides damage to do cr.lp x2, cr.lk -> HP headbutt over cr.lp x2, cr.lk -> LP headbutt?

Mostly I want to know if there is anything unsafe about the LP version coming out. I’ve been doing the dash punch version of this combo for a while, and would prefer to get the knockdown in some situations if I can.

Still getting comfortable with some of the links and output the light version of stuff usually just to be safe.

HP headbutt prevents you from instinctively mashing lp

like not getting cr.lp, cr.lp, cr.lp, s.lp, cr.lp?

haha, I sometimes do stupid things online.

But seriously is there anything unsafe about LP heabutt? I know it has shorter horizontal range, but is there anything else strange about it I should know about?

more like c.lp x2 ~ c.lk ~ c.lp or s.lp (it will miss). ive grinded this timing for so long, i know what ppl go through. the problem is human timing of lp (mashing) compared to hp
when you use hp, you will take more time pushing hp than lp because lp has already been embedded in your mind so you are expecting to hit a separate button, and also c.lp is closer to c.lk. but if you can time it down properly, use it

IN GAME, there is nothing different

Actually, hp and EX headbutt is safer than lp and mp by one frame and even then it’s bad.

You’re at -13 on lp and mp blocked headbutt

1st one 412
2nd one 426

ex overhead ~ c.mp xx f.hb ~ ultra (mid screen, if you can hit all of the ultras) = 502 dmg (MAX)

this is literally half life and super easy to do if you can somehow set yourself mid screen
i have been doing this endless amount of times and its ridiculously damaging

Yeah, I was just looking through the frame data and noticed that too. 1 frame less recovery, 1 frame better on Guard Advantage (-12 vs -13).

Guess I’m not going to even bother to transition from LP to HP, and just straight up stop doing LP headbutt in combos.

Though, it looks like LP Dash Straight Punch is the best for block strings.

Any recommended block strings with Boxer? cr.lp x2, cr.hk?

Is street fighter a good game?

Yes.

Most ive been able to getis just substituting Trial 5’s first cr.lk with a cr.mp

–j.hk/hp, cl.hk, cr.mp XX EX Upper, cr.lp, cr.lk XX hp HB, Ultra 508

cl.hk, cr.mp is not a 1-frame link is it? I get it much more consistently than cr.lp,cr.mp

its 1f link.

©st.hk +7 hit adv. c.mp 7f startup.

not practical to work. but possible (i tried)

j,hk, st.hk, c.lk, exRU, c.lp 2 xx F.HB - 409dmg, 715 stun, NO ULTRA 1 Ex STOCK.

with ultra (471-475) on counter hit (499)

and psychedelic, turn off counter hit. it adds 125% to each hit, making your math wrong. i’d take ultras out too, since its dmg is dependent on life difference + amount of revenge stock you got.

those combos dont get pass 380 with ultra.

j.hk, c.lp x2 s.lk, c.lk, ex upper to loops or ult.

this combo has to be done really close in i think it does about 290 - 300 dmg (before loop and ult.)

I’m pretty sure it builds more meter then the j.hk, s.hk, c.lk combo.

c.lp x2 c.lk xx hb is my meter builder. also, head smash throw builds meter too.

LP headbutt will whiff a lot if you use it in combos. Just stick to HP headbutt.

Block strings.

  1. c.lpx3 xx rush punch

  2. c.lp, s.lp, c.rh

  3. c.lp, c.mk, whatever

4.c.lpx2, c.mp xx rush punch

Highest Damage ultra combos lol

  1. j.hp [link] s.mp xx ex rush upper [link] c.lp, c.mp xx hp headbutt [link] ultra = 532 dmg

  2. j.hp [link] ultra = 524 dmg

  3. hp overhead rush [link] ultra = 514 dmg

:cybot:

How come i don’t see anyone do jump hp or hk ,c.mk,c.mp,head butt, or the charge and end it with a super which does half of the health bar.

1 frame link =(

i’m new to the forum what do you mean 1 frame link?
