my friend uses some pretty gay teams that i own no problem, but i usually have trouble with balrog (balrog is the only character that he can cleanly beat me with). i mean, he isn’t good at all (he gets beasted on by my k-IORI of all people), i just don’t know how to handle balrog.
i’ve been resorting to athena and whoring c.hp and j.d+mk, but she dies in like 1 gigaton blow. i also been using nakoruru against balrog and doing pretty well, but she also dies in 1 gigaton blow…
my main people are rock, cammy, hibiki, nakoruru, ryu, and kyo.
my best groove is k.
whats sad is that i know that, but after i duck the s.hk i can’t seem to get close (unless i’m using hibiki who does a c.mp or something, or a person with a “slide move” like kyo or something)
Pick Mai. Cr roundhouse, throw a fan from full screen etc. Anything to build a lead. Then runaway. If he corners you, SJ off wall and do the swan dive (QCB + fierce) to escape. Balrog can’t keep his charge to tag you and his jump is to short to do anything about it.
i use Iori against my friends balrog - whenever im close enough, if he throws a s.hp and i duck it, i use c.hk that trips him and u get control from there.
