Balrog (Boxer) Combos

FIXED! :wgrin:

  1. You can’t always combo into it and it’s pretty hard to unless it’s a punish. instead of punishing with c.mp xx headbutt, c.mp xx exRU, c.lp c.lp xx headbutt.

You can always throw it out when they’re just walking or doing something standing. It comes out really fast so it isn’t too rare to get it to hit. No, they can’t block while comboing it from c.lps

  1. 10 more damage, range. c.lp comes out one frame faster which means easier comboing. They’re both really easy to combo though so might as well use c.lk

standing lp comes out one frame slower than c.lp but the same otherwise in terms of comboing. It has more range too but that shouldn’t matter in combos.

If you want to do j.rh s.rh, c.lk xx exRU you can use s.lp instead of c.lk if you want

J.RH, RH, c.short, ex upper works…but if you exchangle upper for the headbutt it does not (for me)

Explain.

Cause you’re doing s.rh.

Not enough charge time.

Normally you’d charge the headbutt through the whole jump

because you can only keep the back charge when you’re doing st.rh.

for some reason, i’m finding it easier to link j.hp, st.rh, c.mp xx exRU than c.lk

does a chunk of damage too :open_mouth:

btw. exRU c.lp c.lp xx HB is the MOST useful combo in my reportoire next to c.lp, c.lk xx HB.

if its a whiffed srk or moves with huge recovery, do c.mp xx exRU. if its fireballs or an obvious poke, use exRU c.lp c.lp.

its very easy to do and its almost essential to learn to use it as 2nd nature. overhead to headbutt is very fucking important too. its my SA breaking + ultraable setup. if your opponent SA’s alot. use overheads alot. the only way around it is by blocking high lol. you can SADC backwards if you feel unsafe too.

So true.

My win percentage went up instantly once I got this combo down. Such big damage off a little opening

It’s the link after the exRU that is giving problem :frowning:

the c.lp also sets up potential overhead punches if you’re leading in life to sustain pressure or a simple headbutt for the ultra.

tap c.lp when the dusts clear from balrog’s gloves and when he stops glowing or when the sound of his punch fades to a minimum

holy crap, that’s some precise way to time your c.lp LOL… i will try it tonight. Tks Dude.

My problem is not the link, but getting a special cancelable link because of the game’s sillyness. I can get upper into jab, but then HB just won’t come out…

Do you guys do ex upper, c.jab, c.short, HB? Or something else?

its extremely hard for me to link up the c.lp after ex.RU… the gap to be able to link it, is very very small… i can do it 10% of time

timing.

Any tips for helping me to improve my timing consistancy on these combos. For example I can get the clp.clp.clk.headbut like 35 percent of the time but when I miss the link it feels like im doing the same thing. any timing tips?

FA lvl 3, s.rh, c.lk, exRU loop

One of my favorites is j.hk, c.jabx2, s.lk, c.lk, exRU loop.

Though impractical (F’s up your damage because of scaling.), it takes a lot of time to get those links down because of the change in timing. AKA looks cool!

any recommended block strings?

also, is there anything i can follow up with after landing an AA c.hp?

So M.Bison has combos he can do after a AA focus attack (LVL 1 FA -> Ultra, LVL 3 FA, j.MPx2 -> Ultra) and i was wondering if Balrog has similar combos? Or if it has been tested at all?

my block strings are c.lp, c.lp, c.mk, c.hk (sometimes)

AA c.hp i usually followup with a dash + throw or a crossup dash throw/c.lp x 3 xx HB

aa c.hp is a reset so mixups have to be fast

Balrog gud on this shyt.

Question: Best punishment after Stun/FA crumple, with and without meter?

after say a lvl 2 FA… I usually do the following:

dash forward > C LP x 2 > Headbutt > Ultra
