Okay I might fire up this game again

I mean I will probably go back to playing him in ST instead but it's worth a shot

because he doesn't really have any defense. At least he has a 3 frame check, though.

my best mixup with balrog is dash up, neutral jump, bait the throw attempt or land a knockdown and then neutral jump

UNDER NIGHT In-cest Exe:L-something comes out in a few days and it seems like an actual good fighting game so you should play that instead.

Thanks for the games. Brush up on your frame traps and hit confirms! Also stop letting me get away with dumb stuff!

Yeah I'm not good enough to punish anything really, also this was another match where I learned I need to stop trying to AA because it's never going to work.

Vega's another character I don't know what to do against, whenever I try to go on the offense at all I always get hit from 10 feet away by the claw.

Buster claw is minus a very large number. Also, if you're not confident in your grounded anti-airs, go air to air with a mk or mp. Works great, and Vega can't cause a float state for any real damage while airborne.

PR Balrog has been playing with him pretty exclusively and last I checked his analysis was "Extremely good offensive character but your anti-airs must be on point and your worst match ups are grapplers like Mika and Laura." As others have mentioned you don't have much in the way of wake up and your V-Reversal doesn't move you away from the opponent.

I'd give him a shot; his new design is great and he can do some cool stuff with his V-skill. Also, your Super is literally Bionic Arm.

I play Ryu. How to fight Balrog?? Is there a way to punish him other than baiting a dash punch and neutral jumping?

Balrog dash straight is -4 and Ryu has one of the furthest reaching 4f normals in the game with st.LK. The buffer makes it a joke to punish.

Don't replace a bad game with a bad game. We only played SF4 because it had been so long since SF we were willing to excuse a poo poo product.

Everyone thought sf4 was lovely. If anything, the new thing is saying SF4 was good.

It didn't help that the last edition of it (other than Omega) introduced a character that emphasized all of the defensive bullshit in 4, complete with a healing Ultra.

The weird thing about SF4 is that half the criticism I've read about that game was about it being "too defensive", but we spent half of its lifespan getting hit by divekicks into combos into hard knockdown into setups into combos into hard knockdown, hehe.
