Balrog Trial Mode Challenges (Videos + Discussions )

Hey guys, I have problems on normal trial 4. I can’t do his last combo which is Buffalo Head > Violent Buffalo. I managed to do the V Buffalo after the headbutt twice but both missed :frowning:

Been at this trial for about 30 minutes now. Really annoying me. Any tips?

My guess is you’re doing it too early. Are you just flying under him? You need to wait until he’s about head height.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot later.

Do the uppercut version too.

To do the uppercuts instead of punches press all kicks while doing Ultra.

Holy shit, you can do two versions of his Ultra? I had no idea. I only did his PPP version. It would only hit once but it hit non the less. I cleared all his trials including the hard ones with the PPP ultra. Landing the ultra wasn’t really the hard part for most of them though. But like I said, I would only hit Dan once. I was wondering about that because from the videos I saw of rog, he hits a lot more than once after a buffalo head. I don’t main Balrog so this is all news to me.

What took me the longest time was Hard 5. The stupid EX uppercut refused to come out for me. I would get EX cannon every time. I felt like a lot of times, I would press -> + KK, it would still come out as cannon for some reason. I am using a pad though so I don’t know if it’s easier or stick or not.

Haha, well now you know. Uppers will land pretty much guaranteed.
I use a fight pad so I have on button set to all kicks… makes ultra-ing with Rog a hell of a lot easier.

Dude, I thought I was the only one. hahaha :rofl:

You dont have to press all kicks to make the uppers come out.

You can press and hold any of the kick buttons during the ultra and it will do an upper. I usually upper the first hit then a straight then upper the rest.

Got problems on hard trial 4. Cant do the hard headbutt after the c.LK, if i do LK into HB alone its easy but in this combo it doesnt work -_-
Is it different or am i just doing it wrong when im trying the comb? ~

You are doing the lk too early I would guess. Be sure to time the link, that’s the key.

I’m stuck on normal 5 :confused:
Then again I’ve only tried it for maybe 5 minutes but my timing is terrible with boxer so far.

Can Someone explain to me why “Hard Trail 5” isnt working during the 2x cr.lp into Fierce Headbutt.

I can get the 2x cr.lp to work… but no headbutt regardless if i charge and do the 2x cr.lp it still seems the headbutt doesn’t come out.

You might be a matter of you canceling punches rather than linking, or you might not have enough charge to headbutt.

i think that one is c. lp LINK c. lp CANCEL fp headbutt.

instead of rapidfire c. lp x 2.

i didnt feel like learning the timing, so i just did:
c. lp, c. lk xx ex rush upper, c.lp, c. lk xx fp headbutt

nice!!!

I’m stuck on Hard Challenge 4. Whenever I do the dash upper after the two crouching low punches, Dan always seems to block it. What exactly am I doing wrong? Maybe 1 in every 15 times he doesn’t block it but I can’t see what I’m actually doing differently on the occasions that the move does connect.

I’m stuck on Hard trial 5 as well. I’ve been only doing it for an hour though, almost had it, but after the headbutt, I accidentally slipped the stick to neutral (twice D:). The hardest part for me is linking the ex.RU to c.lp and to give that very slight pause into c.lp… I know I’ll eventually get it, it’s just frustrating when you almost got it and then you fuck up the ultra.

Having that problem with Hard trial 4, I can only cancel into the heavy headbutt after the c lk one in every 30 times, and the time i do hit it, i miss the ultra. Any advice, i’m using the madcatz tourny edition stick.

Most of the time after the ex dash upper i can hit the c lp c lk but boxer jumps instead of headbutt, i know my charge is off, any advice on hand placement?

Any suggestions on Hard Trial #3? It seems like it shouldn’t be that hard but I end up whiffing the mp in the air a lot, is it just my timing that is off or is there something else I’m not seeing? I do get it in from time to time but of course I end up doing a low dash punch then.
