SF4 Biweekly TACV 15: Balrog (Street Fighter IV Combos)

[ikheugbizi]

good shit ,man

[Darkeh112]

Say good night chump!

[kizzah3k1]

C/D: Balrog's finishing poses were left in specifically because he uses the phrase "Time to get paid!" hidden messages ftw

[nitrocan]

How did you do standing jab into headbutt lol

[Halibut86]

-1 for no dirty bull combo

[NonRandomUser]

@Halibut86

These are SF4 combos, NOT Super SF4 combos, hence no Ultra II (Durty Bull).

Learn to pay more attention before judging next time, OK?

[StreetTrooper]

@Halibut86 and -2 for you for not realizing it's vanilla and your request is impossible

[Majern77]

you should change the title of this series to biweekly beastly TACV`s...! 

[reiseiJules]

Oh damn, that last one was dirty!!

[kofguy]

where can i download this for pc?

[DaDoppen]

@kofguy steam.

[kofguy]

@DaDoppen whats steam?

[DaDoppen]

@kofguy An online gaming service, where you play games like CounterStrike and Team Fortress 2. You can buy games online there and download them.

[kofguy]

@DaDoppen send me link to site

[Zarock01]

awesome, as always

[AndroidLife]

Beautiful...

[BLASTTHEFOOL]

trust me to find the reason why the explanation isn't there just after I asked why it weren't there lol

[BLASTTHEFOOL]

I went on the website to see the explanations but I can't seem to find them

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@BLASTTHEFOOL The transcript is up on Sonic Hurricane now. I think i covered all the important questions, but if i missed anything or if anything's unclear, please don't hesitate to ask.

[wDawks]

Oh heey you said my naaame. lol I thought that combo on Seth looked reminiscent of the vid I made.

...dare I attempt them WITHOUT TA and make a vid of me doing it? I doubt I will, but it'd be interesting to see. =P Great combos.

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@wDawks Haha i'm glad you liked it. Your comments about my SSF4 Balrog combos were inspirational.

And while i'd love to see manual versions of these vids, i wouldn't recommend it unless you enjoy frustration and joint pain.

[TechnicalStasis]

nice

[ushiwakamaru30]

The last combo was incredible. I kept thinking there's no way you can combo into super after ultra from distance, until you did it. Cool stuff as usual.

[MrMewMew]

I honestly think this is the best SF4 yet. The combos and style and just everything. It was well worth the wait, Maj.

[RopeDrink]

It still shocks me how so many people don't understand the damage at 1:37 - To those of you who still don't understand, that is the damage done by a max-charged TAP (TurnAroundPunch).



[GRRAB]

fuckin fantastic

[brucenatelee]

One word:

BULLSHIT!!!

[LatisARG]

Insane!

[TEEN1DOL]

1:37 LOOK AT THE DAMAGE!!

[streetguy01]

Can someone explain the gen damage to me ?

[RopeDrink]

Been a Balrog player for over a year now and not even in the slightest bit bored with him yet (Probably as I'm still taking the time to try and learn the nitty gritty hidden details) but to see this movie now just enforces that love for him.

Boring & Linear character you say? Well check out that beastly shinanigans O.o

There's no escape!

[Jman6752]

how come gen lost so much life on the first hit at 1:38?

[nbtyuiop]

@Jman6752 he charged a TAP for the max duration. when he does the move you can hear him shout "FINAL!"

[d3f1anc3]

Maj this might be the most insane TACV you've ever done.

[sheeplols]

Akuma got raped so hard!

[ShinigamiMaster1988]

MAJ you are the champ and my personal combo GOD

[nbtyuiop]

@ShinigamiMaster1988 not taking away from his creativeness, but these combos are tool assisted.

so maybe he's a demi-god? =\

[Maharoba]

@nbtyuiop

Demi-god works.

[burgy8]

whats that move that takes off millions?

[nbtyuiop]

@burgy8 FINAL TAP

[shiken]

this was amazing... and people say boxer is a boring character.

i was surprised not to see any st. jab xx ultra though!

[his1nightmare]

it was about time to get paid anyway

[kaako86]

What kind of wizardry is this...dayuuuuuumn.

[SMPotatoes]

Amazing! Granted its tool assisted, you have to have an incredible mind to come up with ideas like these! Awesome job Maj.

[vinesofka]

i wonder how much damage the combo on gen did lol

[genjuroSE]

Absolutely insane, nice that you took your time finish off these later ones in such spectacular fashion :)

[Indyshooter]

WOW! Just great. Imho this is best Boxxer combo video so far. Awesome ideas.

[CachondeoStudios]

AMAZING!!! O_O those charge tricks have become your signature :) Its awesome to see more of the top quality content we used to see from you. Great stuff im happy to see you around again ;)

[DXLR8R]

Beastly. Just, beastly.

[NesnajNaroj]

Amazing stuff as usual, great fun to watch.

[straightab6]

great vid but more like bi-monthly...

[ikuzeexodia]

god damn nice stuff again Maj. Poor Gen

[StreetTrooper]

wait wtf....@0:43 Balrog Jabs low it hits, jabs high it whiffs, but then jabs low again and it still combos?!? The power of rogs jabs, god help us all

[lkl13]

Great video !

@0:52, meaty DS, sweet !

@1:30, how did you manage to keep the charge for the ultra after the dash mash ?????!

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@lkl13 There's just enough time to recharge for ultra after the Dash Low Smash, but only if you cancel a normal move and the timing is really really tight.

[kingyankee23]

how can you do so mutch damage with the Charge punch of Rog?

[DVSKaz]

cool video, i just think you over abused the turn around punch charge up way too much ... this is a combo vid, not a damage vid. Yeah I know these combos are tool assisted, but with the max time TAPs on every combo it got lame and repetitive, not, 2 mention it took away from the combo aspect.

[Mineral4r7s]

@DVSKaz ah gtfo prick! This video is amazing.

[snowmanmagik]

as far as im concerned. this is the best video on youtube. congrats

[mastadev]

only you could do a combo with 6 fas lol

[GamesPlayer1]

great stuff Maj

[dtmuffinman]

last one was awesome XD

[Snoooootch]

Yess, that guile combo where you went from super to ultra looked better than I pictured it. Great job Maj! yeah, and way to go on that multi-focus attack combos!

[blacksmaru808]

wow, balrog is my main and im impressed but feel like i know nothing about my character, good shit lol

[PimpWilly]

The whiff jab combos with balgrog are Sexy

[silverdoggg]

this is what my combos look like when I'm dreaming!

[oSENSEIo]

maj 2 sick

[martyr84]

What does Maj mean...

[lowtierplayer]

cool stuff! can the super always work after the ultra like that? haven't seen it until now.

And how exactly were you able to get 2 final TAPs like that and still do a combo? sorry if you get bombarded with questions like these, just couldn't find it in the link.

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@lowtierplayer Actually ultra to super is a little weird. It only seems to work if you hold K during the ultra, at least for the 4th hit. Then you have to do the super fast enough to land the second hit because the first one always whiffs.

As for the double Final TAP combo, the combo inbetween was done with only kicks.

[abcthen2z]

Wowtf lol great job as always.

[WuvableKel]

Dude, when are you going to do Seth TACV?

I might have a sweet combo for him. I have yet to see the combo online anywhere. :O

[Chaldean4life91]

all i can say is wow O_o

[chintahimura]

You just blew my mind! good job sir!

[musicmiles]

Absolutely monstrous.

[incident73]

Top-notch stuff, as always.

[spikeyguy777]

is it possible in super?

[olicapone]

awesome job i would love to see a vega (claw) one.

[JINpwnsYOU]

Thanks, Maj. I have to go pick up my jaw from the floor now.

[antzenpro3]

An ultra with full health wuhh?

[drift3rxdrift3r]

@antzenpro3 he probably just absorbed hits from focus attacking

[antzenpro3]

@drift3rxdrift3r oh true forgot about that lol

[YGOJjang]

how did blanka take so much damage at 2:20 ?

[error00001]

@YGOJjang fully charged turn punch

[WilltheMagicAsian]

@YGOJjang Counter-hit "Final" turn punch.

[okutabareo]

Did you just charge partition with Balrog? Haha.

[error00001]

@okutabareo no charge partitioning in sf4

[okutabareo]

@error00001 Yeah I know that, but it sure hell looked like charge partitioning.

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@okutabareo Haha yeah Balrog has a lot of charge tricks because he has a lot of moves that end in diagonal directions. Guile would be a different character if he could do a Sonic Boom with DF+P.

[CachondeoStudios]

@sonichurricanedotcom He would be god tier/almost broken among other things

[xSagez]

Wow, is this Dead of Alive 3 music....

[Quickiezzz]

@xSagez Er, it's from street fighter.

[kinggreg41189]

gooood stufff

[jim784m]

Awesome! Thank god those 100% combos are impractical.

Rose's lp. Soul Spark -> FADC Dash set-ups are always fun too.

[Mysterio006]

FINAL(ly)! Amazingly creative combos here!

[CidNinja]

i can't believe you got this much originality out of balrog. this is so awesome.

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@CidNinja Eh, you can't give me too much credit on that front. There's always more potential for charge characters, unless all their specials are knockdowns or something. Charge characters are the main reason i decided to learn tool-assisted scripting.

[PRMeLLoW787]

boy I really loved the 6 focus attacks on Rose.. pretty nice. Loved this video, good stuff :)

[sonichurricanedotcom]

Btw the reason i still call it "Biweekly" is because i still make an effort to adhere to that schedule. I just have less free time now, so it doesn't work out sometimes - especially when the characters are complex, whether obviously (Chun Li) or surprisingly (Balrog).

[omgitsaduck12345]

@sonichurricanedotcom

The fact that you do this at all is amazing, biweekly or not this shit is crispy!

[DoorMattTV]

@omgitsaduck12345 TACV stands for tool assisted combo video, he doesn't actually do them

[error00001]

@DoorMattTV doing a tool assisted combo doesn't take less time

[DoorMattTV]

@error00001 i thought you meant he did the combos himself, my apologies

[Snoooootch]

@DoorMattTV His creativity and experiense with fighting games in all forms have shaped him up to be more creative than you could ever imagine. He works HOURS per combo. He does do them.

[sonichurricanedotcom]

@Snoooootch Um, thank you sir, but you don't have to defend me. It is what it is. Not everyone has to like it. Just because i spent a lot of time on it doesn't automatically validate it either.

[DoorMattTV]

@Snoooootch Did you read my comment? This is tool assisted. Yes he thought of them, and did a good job. I read the other guys comment wrong. Please read and think before you post.

[Snoooootch]

@DoorMattTV I read, it's just not reassuring to tell a person only once when a large quantity of people on youtube seem to disregard reason (creating an inevitable bias). I'm glad you aren't one of them.

[omgitsaduck12345]

@DoorMattTV

HUURRR DURRR WUT DUS TACV STAND FOR?!?!1

Yes I know he doesn't actually perform these but he makes them and records them and that's still really cool of him.

[DoorMattTV]

@omgitsaduck12345 Wtf is wrong with people, do you not read what I post?

[LavitzPro]

Great combos!!

[sonichurricanedotcom]

Lots of ultras in this episode, but i tried to mix it up by using a different pattern every time.

The clip against Sagat is actually four different mini-combos strung together because i didn't want to waste more time on transitions.

[yurushii]

First! Great combos!
