"After the loss to a bison player decided to spend time on shadow boxing in training mode, after practicing some meaty TAP found in this thread I proceeded with 8 laps of crLP crMP link training (start from one corner and crLP cMP till I hit the opposite corner, then jump over and rinse and reapeat) I was able to hit the link wall to wall and I was satisfied.
Next up I had to read the forums, saw an old combo said to do 1000 stun, in haste I rebooted my PC, and did it but in 2012 it does only 755 Stun, meaning I need a reset overhead to headbutt to get a stun. not bad. learnt alot today.
Playing Balrog for this short time has shown me I still lack in fundamentals when it comes to patience and grounded offence, my AA skills from Gen transitioned nicely to Rog crHP, also noticed that Balrog standing medium punch and jumping medium punch has some awesome AA hitbox, and standing lp seems good for dive kick attacks. Oh well one step at a time and even though I am not that good yet it feels good to play with my brains and not relying on jumping ambiguous setups.
Also the Balrog forum has alot of nice guys that are willing to help and I am thankful that they are here for me."
