SSF4 - The Best of - R - [Balrog] Time To Get Paid

[jjstatic102]

@byangtrio

When Ibuki did the ultra that gave him time to charge

[jesuswalks15]

WOW

[byangtrio]

backdash to ultra?! WTF

[Trajiq187]

All you can do is the same 4 bottons combo over and over.

[Rue666]

Balrog super bar fills faster than 5 hadoken >.>

[DanmakufuBlargel]

3:47 - 3:54

Why are you showing him getting punished with an ultra?

4:03

Oh, lol. I see now.

[kailash1951]

at 3:10....forward dash to ultra combo.....that is too fast....IMPOSSIBLE

[tifalockhart559]

@kailash1951 actually its quite simple, and only takes a minute to learn. hold back, then dash quickly, then finish the input

[kailash1951]

@tifalockhart559 but the input says...forward dash and....back down and forward plus x3 punch....which is not rite is it

[tifalockhart559]

@kailash1951 it basically means the same thing. btw, it should work with every charge character with the same command input

[bogosse02200]

@kailash1951 no, that's not impossible, anyone can do this, with a lil bit of training.

[AcousticNRG]

this is why i play rog , not as easy to play as but rewarding as fuck when it comes off :D

[kasumimoon1961]

i never realized balrog had such good links o.o

[kinggreg41189]

mmm meaty

[SoggyHotDoggy]

Your jaw just drops at the first match and it stays there the rest of the video.

[hujklnm23]

u can really feel the strength of balrog's punches in this vid... - R - why you no play balrog anymore?!

[NanmanTheGreatOne]

@hujklnm23 because hes always losing

[wiithepeople2]

DON'T STOP ME

[shadowd63]

What's a kick?

[mm1k3y]

once youve seen the first combo the rest are pretty much the same ''dshh dshh OORAA dshh dshh OORAA dshh dshh OORAA...etc''

[megamanx1291]

@mm1k3y

Try and stop hiem!!

[megamanx1291]

First non turtling Rog, that is how is supposed to be used.

[b7ray32]

balrog is rose's worst nightmare none of her lame bullshit works on him

[fyocouchnickel]

wow I never thought I'd see the day when there was a Balrog equal to mine... I'd love to play against him.

[stolen165]

this ice0age is so sik i need to use balrog like this

[RopeDrink]

This guy and his Balrog has been an inspiration to scrubs like me - So fun to watch those disgusting 1F links and mixup shinanigans, makes Balrog seem less linear than he actually is - Great stuff!

[Trajiq187]

You actually know 1 combo. 

[OnslaughtGaming360]

@shizlgizmgar Its a fucking video game...

[arthas1100]

at 3:06,

akuma: ASSASSINS CREED MODE ON!!!!

[intrigued1525]

Does this guy still play? I can't find any newer vids for him.

[badoofus]

@intrigued1525 Yeah, just look up YogaFlame24, he uploaded some a few days ago, but unfortunately ice0age uses Adon :(

[intrigued1525]

@badoofus As someone who mains Balrog, Adon is a faggot.

[TheBennysoldier]

Balrog is beast!!!

[intrigued1525]

What determines a characters class? Sometimes I see Ice is A+ other times he is only B+

[iammichael]

@intrigued1525 the BP

[QBisbest]

Did he get his bike money?

[lunchbx14]

Holy shit I knew ice was the best balrog but dam I didn't know he could do this, I'm pretty sure he is the only one in the world that can do this...THIS IS MADNESS

[zmdouble007]

One word....INSANE

[ifktyurmum]

So many assholes .. Enlarged with these devastating combos! Ice0age is god!

[shizlgizngar]

@NotMadeByMe stfu. the heavyweight champion right now is a 6' 7" white guy. the only black champ and legend i can think of is bernard hopkins, the light heavyweight champion

[AcousticNRG]

fuck daigo this guy is what sf is all about total epic beat downs

[MrGortico]

@AcousticNRG No, it isn't.

[AcousticNRG]

FUCKING SICK BEST ROG SKILLS IVE EVER SEEN :-=D

[rp1990000]

hey shin akuma this is arcade edition

[TheRealPowerRanger]

4:00 just epic

[paradyneT101]

Balrog certainly has gone through a massive overhall.....he`s a character that you can respect now!

[StonedAssassinNZL]

BORING NOOB IV, HD remix pisses on this BS

[danman2125]

DON'T STOP ME....please?

[Orlhajoetoe]

"Wow" is the only thing I can say as I'm watching this while I spew out gallons of tears from my eyes. Soooooo inspirational.

[ColdFusionSH]

Easily the most enjoyable player to watch out there in my opinion. An inspiration to all Boxer players out there!

[kosthoj]

i just fought ice0age_ on PSN, is that the real one or just a poser? either way he still whooped my ass

[KHIYLOICE]

GODLIKE!!

[r0bz0rly]

this is how balrog would probably fight in real life. crazy buffalo indeed...

[Soufoka]

lol the scream balrog is so funny when you wining the fight.

[ObjectingGentlemen]

Looks like you got paid :)

[acmasta619]

better than all of them wanker balrogs online what do nufin

[NotMadeByMe]

black people... alwas boxeing ... :)

[TheBIackstar]

It took me 15+ minutes to watch a 4 minute video. Some of this shit you just have to see 4 times.

[dakidukno]

I didnt even know balrog could DO this shit!?

[nswrth]

0:07 don't stop me from dancing to dudley's theme

[juju52291]

hey shin, don't forget to add this to your 'best of' playlist :)

[00009shooter]

this is good.

[GENIUSK127]

ニコ動sm12511696こっちにも-R-の対戦動画あるよ！­

[yellowhelloable]

@GENIUSK127 hontoo ni. Sore wa omoshiroi yo

[BrandonThaKing1989]

great use of the ultra at 0:54

[kupidzheart]

good gravy nasty shit there

[juju52291]

good god, I can't stop watching this video.

[JPandorum]

people who say you never hit high levels with DSB clearly dont know what they are talking about

[KingofPho75]

balrog is the best or should i say bison and anyone who says balrog is an easy mode character fuck off. Ryu and Ken is the easy mode character. fucking dragon puches i hate them!

[two2tone]

@ 3:30 how did he headbutt a crossup and still pull out an Ultra... This is the 1st time I have seen this...

[RopeDrink]

So much Balrog hate... Ironic considering Balrog is by far the most linear character in the roster, some would say one of the most balanced. He's been nerfed in AE and isn't being used as much compared to Vanilla or SSF4 yet he's so 'easy mode' that only one Balrog player has one a Major Tournament ever... Go figure >.> Loving this video!

[RopeDrink]

One = Won

[Christoph7011]

@RopeDrink Yea, I'm trying ween myself from the usual Shotos, and whether I am a shoto or not, I still have respect for charge characters because they usually aren't unbalanced at all. Like, why are they nerfing charge characters to begin with? Guile, Balrog, I've not heard any others, but it doesn't seem practical TO nerf these characters. Sensibly though, everyone should try charge characters at least once... After that, say what you will, but it ain't easy, take it from a shoto main... >.>

[SakuraEXV]

@RopeDrink very true

[chaoslimits]

The Ibuki/Rog fight was insane 3:42

The Ibuki player knew to punish Tap with Ultra and Ice0age remembers that and baits out the Ultra in the next round. Fucking gdlk.

[S7R31F]

I like how you showed the ibuki ultra. He is singaporean yea? If so then he might be the best in the world outside of usa and japan

[0ShinAkuma0]

@S7R31F -R- is Japanese, there's another Boxer player named R-Chan, who is from Singapore. 

[S7R31F]

@0ShinAkuma0 its interesting though how on desoras website the only boxerhe has listed is R and it has a singaporean flag...

[khlymore]

@S7R31F nice combos i did all of them online everything in this video the only thing diferent in my replays is that i did a 1 frame link in every single rround at the end of every single combo

[hujoese]

CAMPING??? WHATS THAT?

[MrPolothepolo]

looks like the same moves over and over. the best of 3 moves

[HeezyTwiesel]

And they said my Rog's too aggressive...

[Judgementxxx]

"crazy style of play that never gets old to watch" you say.

30 it took before I gave watching.

[0ShinAkuma0]

@Judgementxxx Yes, that's great, good for you man.

[morbentfel]

@Judgementxxx ur a fag

[Judgementxxx]

@morbentfel zzzzzzzzzzz sorry can't stay awake reading your comment. Might use it when I need to sleep.

[ArcaneSmash]

it got old the first minute in.

[phuoc247]

@ArcaneSmash failure speaking

[ArcaneSmash]

@phuoc247

SF4 shenanigans aren't impressive at all.

[phuoc247]

@ArcaneSmash u jelly?

[ArcaneSmash]

@phuoc247

about stuff I can do too?

[phuoc247]

@ArcaneSmash prove it?

[DickButtKiss707]

pretty good ticking! man try doing that weak crap against me Zangief and you'll get ultracombo-ed punk ass balrog

[SFCatgirlFanatic]

@DickButtKiss707 ...you'd better be a troll, or I'll have less faith in this community.

[Xtal0]

@DickButtKiss707 rofl........right.

[ThundaSnake]

4:00 BAITED!

[LtLegault]

Haaaa I just got it. Everyone has an opinion and an asshole. Sooo in your asshole. Lol

[ToshiroMifuneSamurai]

Very good video Shin. I love every good Balrog and this is one of the best.

My favorite Balrog is Maeda Taison. Can't tell who's better, they are both very good, but have a different playstyle.

[ToshiroMifuneSamurai]

Easy mode my ass, people who say this is easy don't know shit about SF or Balrog.

[yellowhelloable]

This guy makes other players literally piss their pants in fear. Wonder how many top pros have been demolished by this guy and walked away scratching their heads wondering what the $#%^ just happened!!!!

[gameonandon]

If Marn played Balrog, this would be exactly how he'd play. Reminds me so much of how Marn plays Dudley :) Ice is Maximum BEAST with Boxer. Best I've seen

[ShinSUREYOUCAN]

Oh yeah gotta ask, what happen to Fujino?

does he play ae?

[theROA]

i hate barlog, but i give respect to those not doing jab jab short headbutt ALL DAY LONG

[Glutenbob]

Talented player, easy mode character.... NO respect.

[TechHits]

@Glutenbob you're such a dumass

[Glutenbob]

@TechHits

Why so mad brah?

[chousukebe]

@Glutenbob

The stuff -R- does with Rog in this video is far from easy mode. Pretty much everything he did in the video contained multiple 1-frame links or required good charge management, something a newbie would never be able to do with any sort of consistency.

[chousukebe]

@Glutenbob

The stuff -R- does with Rog in this video is far from easy mode. Pretty much everything he did in the video contained multiple 1-frame links or required good charge management, something a newbie would never be able to do with any sort of consistency.

[TheCrimsonFlames]

@Glutenbob Do you hate on daigo for playing then? What about bannaken for playing (should be obvious) Ken.

I want to see you jab into balrog's ultra.

[DarkAdonis123]

@Glutenbob 1 frame links is easy mode? Seriously dude go back to DoA4. You have no idea what you're talking about here.

[hagane1989]

@Glutenbob Post a video of you doing this stuff if it's so easy -.-

[yellowhelloable]

@Glutenbob Takes MAJOR skill and hours of practice to even be half as good as this guy is with Balrog.

[Glutenbob]

@yellowhelloable

I know, thats why I said he was talented. I respect his ability to land those combos, but he is playing an easy mode character, for which he gets no respect.

[yellowhelloable]

@Glutenbob Kool. I respect your opinion. Who's your main character dude? To be honest, I'd love to play Guile but I can't always pull of his Ultra (Don't know the name of it, but it was Guile's original ultra from vanilla)

[Glutenbob]

@yellowhelloable

I can pull off Guiles Focus Attack- dash forward- into Ultra 2 in training mode, but online its only happened once.

I actually strongly dislike SF4/SSF4, I am a 3s fan. In 3s I main Necro and my secondary is Q. Anyways, when I used to play SF4, I played as Blanka and Rose. I tried out Guile for a while, but I just sucked as him. Plus I hated pre charging his sonic booms.

[yellowhelloable]

@Glutenbob Yeah, for xbox live lag is a real issue so thats probably why you have only pulled of the dash forward into ultra 2 once online. I've been playing a lot of 3s lately too. It's a much deeper game than ssf4 and I think it needs more skill to play well than SSF4 :)

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

@Glutenbob "I respect his ability to land those combos." "he gets no respect". Fucking genius right here.

[Glutenbob]

@MonokuroBooHokKan

HOLD DAT! Bitch!

[necromancerduo]

4:02 whoops, nigga said, DENIED

[thefatal]

What type of video capture device do you use?



[0ShinAkuma0]

@thefatal the Hauppage HD PVR

[beastworm]

@0ShinAkuma0 this card works for streaming live at 720p?

[z712]

jesus what a scrubby ibuki

[TH44Faintear]

@z712

lol iyo is scrub...?

[Tech7VoCarl]

i remember that last ibuki match, great headsup move to know he'd get the meter to be able to cancel the turn punch and bait the ultra.

[egghead268]

I saw Ndsg, I miss his videos

Great player

[dtmuffinman]

Hey Shin where can you find Japanese Arcade BP rankings? I'm curious because at the Nagoya Street Battle last night, Momochi was WRECKING people with a 66k BP Cody, best Cody I have ever seen...last I had seen he was using Makoto and had her at like 44k BP, so I wanted to see if there were any other surprises with top players using different characters.

[K1fans]

Damn that was nice

[TheLosEvolution]

2:05 - Bitch, where my fight money?!

[TheLosEvolution]

the definition of pressure.

[XxbestofthebestxX]

I'm impressed but jsmaster also does the low jab, low strong, ex upper loop

[affehl316]

i would def. be scared shitless to face this balrog...those combos....godlike full of that badassery!

[NERDstarXD]

I like how the beginning was boxer vs boxer; Rog > Dudley

[SonyDlight]

beasty baiting!!

[Eggy2555]

i believe PR Rog is probably more solid than this guy as far as being a technical player goes. However, this guy is interesting to watch definitely better than maeda in my opinion as far as Japanese Boxer players go.

[k2thereaper]

Its very difficult to make IYO look like a fool

But nothing will stop this man in his quest for his fight money!

[Nariz2000]

Ice0age is insane!!! best Balrog ever seen!!!

[matarel]

what a monster

[DonShotta24]

omg. I love Ice0age r. Feels like I'm watching myself play

[aznt1mmy]

I see what you did there for the last bits against IYO :)

[marcolaranja]

Is this the best Balrog player in the world? at least top 5 right?

[XNDL44]

And they say the boxer who pursues money isn't any good

[Darkeh112]

ICEAGE SMACK DEM! I fucking love this guy!!

[Nerfherder01]

That was rad! Nice editing at the end with the Ibuki match as well. Showing how and why he decided to do his Ultra. Keep up the good work. I'm loving all of your uploads!

It does hurt to see my girl Cammy get beat...... Oh well......

[yahoo1o1]

8,000 views already. someone is definately getting paid!

[morbentfel]

this is the difference between the american mindset and the asian mindset. white people bitch and cry on perceived "imbalance" and drop characters in the blink of an eye while the japanese put in work to win

[samuraikatana1]

@morbentfel Um, PR Balrog?

[morbentfel]

@samuraikatana1 the dude isnt white

[samuraikatana1]

@morbentfel How does white = American? You said the difference in mindset between American and Asian players, and last time I checked PR Balrog was American. If I said Mike Ross and Honda would you say that doesn't count either?

[bajablaster]

@morbentfel and that's why the japanese top 20 arcade players are filled with Yuns and Yangs. oh wait..

[dragonfistX200]

lol at 4:02

[EXmassa]

Best boxer I've ever seen... Way too go Mike tyson

[E1N9A8N0DA]

Time To Get Paid...

And for his opponents, Time To Get Pawned.

[SithLordRagnos]

This video made me splooge even more than Chun-Li's Alpha booty!

[babunnel]

OMFG!! This is how SF should be played..AMAZING!!

[SpadeHand]

Wait, Balrog isn't a charge character anymore!?

[MrGymrat22]

@SpadeHand

Those 1 frame links are so freakin beautiful! It's because of videos like this that I continue to strive with my rog. Awesome stuff. Ice0Age is gdlike. Some people hate on the way he plays. But this is his style and he dons it well. Hey ice ... continue to do what you do you ... Inspire!!!

[KTC12490]

i want to fight this guy so bad

[ricefarmer]

weird how damage scaling effects the ultra alot more then the super..

[bnobu]

I wish i had a portion of this guys talent

[IceDrake1337]

Love the ending, shows the difference between most pros and non-pros, he clearly learned from round to round and then applied what he learned instantaneously.

[YuriBo26]

That ending was so sick

[foxisquick]

This guy for sure has some really awesome rushdown. I like how he ends his combos in dash punches over headbutts. I don't think it's optimal but he likes to keep the pressure on and that's really cool.

[MasterHi0b]

i wonder if it is some kind of racism that balrog sounds like the last caveman/ animal.

[kalucardable]

Thanks for leaving the command inputs on the videos, I'm learning a lot.

[Shanyet]

man! i was impressed by how he changed his charge at 3:30 shows awareness. i definately woulda just waited and started chargin again. guess that shows the difference between me and the big dogs. gotta practice that though.

[NorieagaHDR]

How the hell does he get those links to constantly come out. Damn.

[12Thewower]

this is one of your best videos shin

[BC2Recon]

Awesome, iceage is one of my favorite players by far!
