Street Fighter V Balrog

So if you land h.dash upper you get a couple ender options

You can dash straight with no meter, or EX straight for some insane corner carry.

But you can spend a bar and do EX dash low to knock them down and stay on top of them, think it hit for around 300? I think using the EX low is mad worth it for sustained pressure.

You MIGHT get an extension in the corner, maybe an EX upper or v-skill follow up? I’m unsure how it handles juggle points but I hope we get more in the corner.

St.mk > St.mp follow ups are pretty poor without V-trigger, I’m sad :frowning:

Lol of course Balrog turns out to have one of the best st.HK normals in the game. What.

583

Heres a video i made of two high damaging combos. Really great for punishing a blocked dp. Sorry if its old!

These seem to work regardless if the c. hp is a crush counter or not. just replace medium dash straight with light dash straight

584

His s.HK was great in SF4 as well. =V
Though it functioned completely differently there, of course.

585

Cl.hk is basically his SFV St.hk

586

Hi Guys,

587

588

Stomp target combo

Launcher target combo

V-skill overhead to make it safe

Dash straight

H.Dash upper

Sweep

Probably some others as well

589

590

Thank you so much!
Can’t wait.

591

Holy shit is this nigga fun. Like, I knew he looked cool and all but damn. I threw together a video after a bit of time in training mode with him to show off some of his combos.

Speaking with someone on a friends stream who I believe is working on a spreadsheet for Balrog’s frame data. Hopefully could be posted soon!

TAP can be spaced to be +2 on block, potential for crazy midscreen gap closer once we master the spacing.

593

So ummm…his first trial is impossible…? No matter how many times I try, j.HK into st.LP puts you too far away to connect the st.lk target combo. The hell?

594

Lol, you gotta jump in or else it pushes you too far out for the rest. The st.lk barely hits afterwards so you have to be quick.

595

What the fuck is going on? Balrog is fun as hell, this wasn’t supposed to happen.

596

Balrog is really interesting this go round.

I’m interested in getting more damage out stHK CC since seems like the party starter

crHP CC TAP M Dash Straight can only get working midscreen

597

So is st.MP x 2 Rog’s best wakeup timer? It lets his overhead beat jabs at least.

598

Th-The damage :open_mouth:

599

some notes:

balrogs walkspeed and +2 normals are ridiculous. once you do 2-3 vortex loops in the corner its stun smh.

sometimes its hard to get in but i think i need to just
1.yolo rush feint
2. tap
3. ex rush low

a lot of people seem to run away vs rog so it shouldnt be too risky. and honestly with 8f i should be playing dumber instead of reactive down back style. if a better rog can give a gameplan for getting in that would be great.

once you have them low you can hang back and try to anti air them, or tick with s. short (3f, +1 on block) or s. jab (4f, +2 on block).

my execution is shit so i use these frame traps

c. jab ~ c. jab (beats 3f, +2 on block, special cancel)
s. forward ~ s.forward (beats 4f, +2 on block, special cancel)

i like to use meter for ex rush punch. you can get a lot of damage from stray c. jabs or c. strongs.

wakeup ex upper is kinda shit but it has its uses. no armor on 1st frame and highly throwable tho.

Damn so no more stuffing people jumping in on your wakeup with an EX dash straight due to no invincibility at startup?
