I’m not believing anything until there some kind of credibility behind the statement. We know Blarog has been near completion since, at minimum, January so I doubt he’s been completely broken for literally 5 continuous months when Capcom has been willing to release undertuned characters like Gief and FANG as well as have Cammy’s auto-cross up bullshit be relatively balanced. That rumour does not pass the smell test.
I guess Balrog won’t get released until he gets his fight money.
Well there was also the rumor that Max put out that Balrog would be the first DLC character due to him having been playtested, but that didn’t work out.
We’re talking about Capcom… anything goes
That avatar truly brings meaning to anything goes.
That should’ve been Ryu’s CA
Pls no
I like MMA maybe even more than boxing, but want him as a pure (even if dirty) boxing rep
Let Abel with his Sambo/MMA style in, or do a new char as MMA rep
And if ever they do Rog as MMA dude, please at least put Dudley in… SF need a boxer (and a muay thai guy 
)
It’s kinda crazy that SFV only has one character atm using one of the 3 big martial arts( bjj, boxing, muay Thai). Rog really should be the next release.
Lol BJJ being one of the most famous 3 is a bit a stretch (but if you mean top 3 effective then i kinda agree)
I say for SF “world tournament” most famous/iconic are 5: Karate, Boxing, Kung Fu, Wrestling, Muay Thai
But yeah, i’m glad on the 6 DLC we got Rog (boxing) and Juri (TKD, another pretty iconic style)
Still waiting for Muay Thai rep
Notice I said big not famous. Honestly none of the 3 are amongst the most famous. That easily goes to Karate, Kung Fu, and probably TKD. And a your average Joe doesn’t even consider boxing a ma. But in terms of the 3 given the most respect in terms of actual fighting those 3 and wrestling are king.
I didn’t mention wrestling before since there’s not much SF can do to really design an entire character on real world wrestling.
If I understand you right, I think Hugo, Haggar, and Alex would disagree with you.
24 hrs left… lets make a balrog checklist/wishlist
guaranteed:
- charge rush punch, ex has armor

overhead/command grab status unknown
I hope y’all niggas aren’t actually thinking he’s gonna be revealed right? Right?
Ibeaki mustard rice
Balrog checklist:
-Japanese
-ninja
- not Balrog
- ibuki
That’s a nice list. I’m sure you’ll some extra stuff added before his release in July.
fuck outta my thread all of u
smh
Ideal Balrog V-Skill: st.mp+mk is low invulnerable short dash into overhead headbutt, 50-60 damage, -5 or -7 on block, combos into st.lp and cr.lp. Cr.mp+mk is a short upper body invulnerable short dash into his Dash Low Straight for a soft knockdown, 70 damage, -3 or -4 on block and maybe safe on push if spaced carefully.
V-Trigger: 2 bar TAP that can combo into Super and juggle into Super but only reaches half screen. Unsafe on block by something fair, I dunno.
2 hits of armour or projectile invulnerability on EX Dash Punch.
New animations that don’t look retarded like his SF4 Buffalo Headbutt that hit with the worst possible place on your skull you want to use as a weapon. Ken got cool new arced Tatsus, why not make Balrog look less janky?
Damn, I got all excited when I saw all the new posts.
Balrog gonna get a crossup. Can’t wait for everyone to be disappointed tonight when their Juri and Ibuki hopes and dreams are crushed and it’s Rog just as the initial lineup showed months ago.
