I know I've been contradicting a lot of shit that I've been saying lately, so I might as well add to the confusion. I started toying around with Balrog yesterday, and then expanded on that idea further today by playing 80 matches or so with him against EightBitWarrior. It's amazing how fast I've picked him up and I would very much say he's an alternate, or at the very least good for counter-picking to make people upset. I don't know what it is, his combos are like butter, and has some interesting similarities with Akuma -- mainly the super-zoning ability and massive tools at his disposal. He is otherwise a very different character...but if I can go toe to toe with Warrior's Balrog, then I must be doing something O.K. I have to say it feels good to be at least a small part of the Balrog Army.
My primary focus is still Akuma, my Balrog has to reach pretty far to catch up to the Raging Demon.
After the 3v3, expect some videos featuring Balrog and possibly El Fuerte against EightBit. His Dhalsim is a fun match-up.
