SSF4 AE 2012 Balrog Changes

[SirJabsAlot]

Thanks for the update

[keus10]

U didn't mention about the ex headbutt it does 150 now and the headbutt with hp does 140

[EvalzOnline]

Nice vid

[CoopZillaTron]

Nice explanation on the st.HP. Idiots like me now fully understand the buff. I don 't know why but hos headbutt recovery felt a lil bit faster, or thats prolly bxos ive stayed in training mode since its come out.

[SCHeartless]

@CoopZillaTron You're welcome, and it is possible because the developers did say there would be 'mystery' changes that wouldn't be announced, that we would have to find out on our own. It may be possible that he had some changes to the recovery...still sucks though lol

[CoopZillaTron]

@SCHeartless Also dude, I was testing OH, cr.MP, Headbutt on Viper. The headbutt was whiffing, have I got this wrong or have you just missed it?

[RottenApple333]

shit balrog's back to being gay as hell like in super

[SCHeartless]

@RottenApple333 Isn't it great :D

Hi sir, do you think you can make a video on his jab jab ultra in 2012. I couldn't pull it off as fluidly as the previous 2 version. Your quick tutorial is extremely useful to players all over the world. Fellow Balrogs let's show the world what the boxer is made of!! - raspberrySG

[SCHeartless]

@mycaster Alright I'll try and make one

[Tsherman100]

@mycaster your balrog is beast i watch one of your replays

[coandca88]

How do you plink it because doesn't every other button have priority over jab?

[SCHeartless]

@coandca88 oh you meant the jab, I thought it was the hp. The fierce punch you can plink normally, but there is a way to plink a jab. You basically plink a crouch tech, if you hit the jab slightly before the kick, it should register 2 jabs and 1 short, giving you a plink

[sandurrtje]

@SCHeartless thats not correct. if you plink the jab the way you mentioned, you will get the jab first and the second input will be jab+short. but since short always takes priority over jab, the short will come out once you are 1 frame early with the input.

you can only plink jab with the select button, since the jab only has priority over the select button.

[SCHeartless]

@sandurrtje I know what you mean but Im telling you this way works, I mean ive done this before while crouch teching

[jdrodrigues7]

@SCHeartless Double Tapping Jab is more liable and works just as well with slightly different timing.

[SCHeartless]

@jdrodrigues7 true, just wish I was able to double tap :p

[bajablaster]

do you think this makes rog top tier again?

[SCHeartless]

@bajablaster I dont think hes top tier, but prob high tier. Kinda like how he used to be in super probably

[jrombaoa]

nicely put! i main rog too, but after DL'ing the 2012 patch, rog still feels the same. i just play the damn game lol. the few things that kinda help are the headbutt damage buff (barely noticeable when linked with a combo), but more importantly the cr. medium punch to headbutt for ALL characters NOW. i just wished they rebuffed this recovery frames after a headbutt. that shit is annoying.

[SCHeartless]

@jrombaoa ya, had they done that he woulda been just as good as he was in super. If not reduce the recovery, give him a FADC ability, that would work too

[7Sep7]

Jump Forward/Backward HP was nerf. 110 to 90 dmg. It's a really important change because it's one of his most usefull tools.

[SCHeartless]

@7Sep7 Not just the damage, but the hitbox too was nerfed :(

[coandca88]

How fast is that link st.HP,st.LP and can it be plinked in anyway?

[SCHeartless]

@coandca88 its a 2 frame link, not too bad, and yes you can plink it

[ultrasonicninja123]

Awesome ur back :D

[B0janN]

Oh great, my worst nightmare got buffed.... I quit Akuma

[JulianChicken]

You still gonna run with rog ? :P

[SCHeartless]

@JulianChicken yup yup, especially now that he got some buffs...but I do have project in the works...we will see if it works out ;)

[JulianChicken]

@SCHeartless Ooh, cant wait for it man !

[gone456]

yay another video :P

sicne forever.. but im still here ;)

[SCHeartless]

@gone456 glad you stayed around :)

[SoShiFood]

So to be able to utilize one of Balrog's buffs you need to know how to think combos on your feet?

[SCHeartless]

@SoShiFood which change are you referring to?

[SoShiFood]

@SCHeartless The linking between overhead and headbutt.

[SCHeartless]

@SoShiFood The direct headbutt link from overhead only works on standing opponents. It's a safer bet just to go with the standard overhead combo instead of doing that fancy stuff lol
