MY BALROG SECRETS ARE TOO GREAT FOR YOUR PUNY MINDS, BOTH OF YOU

Actually, the easiest way to learn is to just play me.

Hmm...basic things to know:
- Don't spam LP Dash Punch.  I know it looks really safe, but don't do it anyway.
- d+HP is your anti air, you can sometimes use ub+HP too.
- If you have a bit of space and the opponent jumps in (or up or whatever), you can use EX Upper to go hit them
- d+HK is the greatest poke in the game.  Ridiculously fast, high priority, and safe.  Use it well. 
- Learn cLP, cLK > special as soon as possible and learn to react to it hitting. 
- cMP > Headbutt > Ultra is a relatively easy way to punish anything the opponent does that is too open.
- Learn to tick throw (make them block, then throw).  Balrog has fast walking speed, so he can make use of it.  Most of us are used to looking out for it already, but there are ways to mix it up which are hard to explain without playing for yourself.

Finally, the best tip of all that applies to everyone with every character....

- Learn to block.

DEAR ALL ,

Thanks for coming to the Gathering and played some SF4. Thanks to those who travel far too. And for the new comers, THANKS so much for making it today and it was nice meeting you all and had great time playing few matches...

WIll organize more and perhaps - there is request for a 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 tag team matches too. BEAT THE CRAP out of KOF. hahaha I am still in the mist of terror from KOF XII HA for those who left early, I bought Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe and we played a few rounds too. Pretty fun though compared with KOF

Thanks for the PICS and hope to see you guys again...OK anyone wants to let me know which is the BEST NEXT date?

Or we should also start OUR VERY OWN SF T SHIRT and everytime someone win the mini tourney, he gets a small badge. And he can hook on his Tshirt everytime we meet . The more the badges is the more rank he got...hows that?

Let me know guys

mine would be Ryu-Eater!

Just to update you guys about today's tournament:

Fai, Desmond(Rawfish), myself(Quist), Alan = marshals for today

Champion: Chucky (C.Viper)
First Runner-up: Ben (E.Honda)
Second Runner-up: Mikeee (Ryu)

It was a supremely nice match with Jason Sim (4th place with his Zangief) as the top pad player for the day. The rest are all stick players. Feeling damn tired so I don't want to elaborate further but videos will be out soon!

To all of you guys whom I met today, great meeting you guys! To all the rest whom I have met before, it was really nice meeting all of you AGAIN! Haha! As usual, congratulations to all the winners and the participants for the day. Great matches!

hahha so fast lah your info like CNN. thought want to be faster than u tim...

IMHO it was a great event, everyone were friendly and it was a quite balance overall matches. i think i am the happiest guy cos i didn't expect to got so far especially my match with Mikel against the able Abel..
Chucky was expected to win, and thank god i didnt get raped at all even against Blanka & Vega & Abel.

I still have faith in Zangief! and Zangief still rock my world! & Final Atomic Buster is still very Siong!

I gave up PSN cause I can't even login and it's laggy even if I can connect.

I'm staying at Setapak. Getting to anywhere past 1U will be harder cause the transport is harder to get.

@ Grabbie: Hey anything to help. Though I think you should also learn how to use his pokes, work on your wakeup mixups and learn the ex greenhand knockdown combo. If you go to the next gathering I'll teach you real quick.

well ex green hand is totally not safe when blocked too.

Hi all,

Still working on the videos (19.5 Gig! 1920 x 1080 res. + 5.1... Think I should consider cutting down the resolution next time...).

In the meantime, here's some shots of the event. Sorry for the sepia-ed tones, it looked worse with color, so I decided to b&w it.

Here's the photos:

Feel free to tag yourself there.

Oh, and thanks for the encouragement guys! Guess I really need to put in more work, and play more match-ups.

Again, stay tuned for the videos, hopefully I can get everything up today.

Thanks Alvin for posting the match between me and Bigmac. Looking at it makes me almost want to laugh and Cry. saw most of the time im thinking how to get close to him, but never think of waiting for him to come. and never landed one low tackle successfully after more than 10 times ( distance and timing Grabbie )

and yeah...if i would have learn to at least use more Ex Green Gloves i guess the match will be more intense..( learn green glove combo Grabbie )
