Boxer (Balrog) – Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Guide

balrogssf2t

Boxer is a very powerful character. He has no projectiles, but his dash punches are lighting fast and he has devastating combos. His super is probably the best in the game due to how safe it is in many situations, the high level of damage and the fact that you can buffer the super.

Basic Terminology for tutorials

Jab = Light Punch = Button (LP)

Strong = Medium Punch = Button (MP)

Fierce = Hard Punch = Button (HP)

Short = Light Kick = Button (LK)

Forward = Medium Kick Button (MK)

Roundhouse = Hard Kick (Button (HK)

AP = Any Punch

AK = Any Kick

Boxer Special Moves

Note: Keep in mind that all special moves have 3 different levels of strength and each one will work better depending on the situation and the character the opponent is using.

Balrog Walk Forward after throw and Super

This move is not a stored super. It has to be buffered and the video shows the inputs in real time and slow motion. The great thing about this particular move is that it tricks the players into thinking you will do a crossup, but when done correctly, rog will do a quick back dash and then super instead of crossing over. Extremely deadly and useful and definitely better than the good old crouching roundhouse alternative that is often used.
