SF4 Series – Balrog Super and Ultra Tricks

by Keits on July 3rd, 2011 at 12:51 pm

While this information has been available since the days of vanilla Street Fighter 4, it still applies today and has been packaged nicely by RyuApprentice. The video shows you how to, with inputs, dash into, backdash into, armor cancel into, and change directions with Balrog’s Super and Ultra 1.

cool vid..i never used balrog up until about 2 monthes ago….and i really like him. as a former shooto guy, it has been trickky getting used to charge charge charachters. vids like this help out alot.
thanks!!!

If the information on the video is nothing new and been around for years, then did it really warrant an article?

mistersmash

If you’re a jerk and have nothing but douchiness to contribute, should it really warrant a comment?

TrollThisSRK

Oh come on he makes a valid point. Someone who just now started to care about balrog could easily find keno’s/javitz old videos from vanilla.
Plus – what does the video teach you REALLY? “If you wanna dash into ultra, you have to dash, then do ultra”…………..

CherryNecklace

on the contrary i learned something new that i never thought of looking in old guides for and am glad that it was posted. it says its old news, and no one is forcing you to watch it, so why complain?

TrollThisSRK

Mind telling me exactly what you learned? Cause I find that a little hard to believe.

Complaining is because keits likes to flood the front page with a lot of useless shit so that the one(ish) important thing that might have happened that day gets pushed to the side so much faster.

You are better off adding TrollThisSRK to ignore list. Kid just likes arguing meaningless shit over the internet. I guess it is a troll in a sense, except instead of wit you just get a big waste of time.
TrollThisSRK

^butthurt because I always call him on the bullshit he posts.

Would you rather just see one article every three days to update the front page? Think of the front page like a status feed for those of use who just visit a couple sites in rotations, looking for something new to jump out to watch. Mostly get the fuck over yourself and just dont click stuff you don’t want to watch.

It’s a nice guide, I’m sure it’s helpful to someone. Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately in the all we end up seeing is ducking jab jab jab jab headbutt into ultra 1.
shotofighter4

Nice guide. Lots of that stuff applies to other charge characters too.

Urrrggghhh /o\
The music.
Inphinite

Music killed it.

Geezus what IS it with these wasteful intro’s and awful music? Good Lord I think I am losing my mind… Anyways, thumbs down. =(
Shidosha

im looking at the annotations and i dunno… something seems wrong about em.
I’m not sure if 1:07 is correct but i would have to try it to be sure… but 1:42 has me lost. is he doing an EX move into super? don’t u waste a bar doing that making the super impractical? Or was that supposed to be Focus canceling? if that is the case, then it should be mp+mk and not 2 punches… right?

Dander

he uses the ex to absorb a hit and cancels the focus absorb into a supern or ultra which in this game is viable since it acts as a liason to the super. This means the super doesn’t get used right away it is instead applied to the super. imagine it like a kara cancel that looks like it should waste meter but does and it can go take a hit and go thruogh projectiles.

TrollThisSRK

Still not particularly practical. Couldve just done super/ultra to the same effect without risky execution.

Shoryu Reppa

Wrong. Adding the ex armor cancel makes it an option select. If theres a fireball thereto be absorbed, you get the cancel into ultra, if theres no fire ball, you just get an ex rush punch

TrollThisSRK

Do you know what ‘wrong’ means? Please go back and tell me where I was wrong. Ultra in the same situation would’v connected all the same. I’m well aware of the OS doesnt change the fact that its risky, baitable, and not particularly useful.

Best use of SA cancels is armor punch into armor punch to get through dhalsim BS.

Dander

imeant ex bar doesn’t get used right away.
Sadistic Masochist

stuff like this is what youd normally supposed to try out to see what the gamesystem allows on the first day in training. good for those that didnt know i guess.

Helped me out. Thanks for posting this.

Anyone who complains about the music is obviously new to fighting games. KI rules!

Walking0rgasm

agreed. i wish they would port this game to psn or xbla and add online fighting

KiDIKoRuS

Been a balrog player for a while now, and while most of this stuff is old to me, however the change of direction inputs had been a little difficult and I’m glad to have seen this vid.
BLaZiaN

play hott hot, with the feeeeeling.

kudos. good vid

Good vid, beat me to the punch with the background music, but i’ll 1-up you.

@trollthissrk and mistermash
Sorry it didn’t appeal to you but I couldn’t find the tutorial anywhere so I decided to make this.

I love KI2 and the music is awesome.

As soon as I get AE on PC I will remake everything in AE.

TrollThisSRK

Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying stuff like this shouldn’t be made
I’m saying it definitely shouldn’t be on the front page.

Could you imagine if day 1 basic mechanics got posted to the front page for EVERY character in this game?

STAXXX

KI rules. I prefer her ‘KI feeling’ to this tho
Danonino

KI does rule, and yes rare need to get it out on xbla, but the music is/was/and will be fucking terrible

Its exactly like what i grew up listening to in teenage discos in the 90′s……… and thats NOT a good thing.
