Balrog

Violent Boxer
With frightening punching power, Balrog pounds his opponents until they are no longer able to stand up. A top level member of Shadaloo, he is a belligerent man with a vicious mean streak, and is obsessed with money. He has a real hatred for his fellow Shadaloo member, Vega, and the feeling is most certainly mutual. However, under orders from M. Bison to retrieve Pandora, him and Vega travel to Antarctica.

At first glance Balrog doesn’t look any more complicated than get inside and deal damage, but there actually a very sweet science to using him. Balrog is best played just within range of his st.HK and cr.HK, safe from almost anything the opponent can throw out but well within punishing distance. Use LP Dash Straights and throws to maintain the close-range pressure.
