Balrog
Good news for those trying to learn Balrog! I recently went down to the G4 studios and filmed a couple of Balrog video tutorials. They are split up into two parts and altogether they are 22 minutes long. They are aimed at beginners so all you pros out there, please don’t tell me I suck because I didn’t go into more advanced stuff because we have to start with the basics first.
Amongst other things, I cover the following topics:
- his best normals
- basic combos
- best uses for specials
- best uses for Headbutt
- how to use the Ultra
- how to use the Super
- basic setups
- basic zoning
If you like what you see, please click on the Comment butto on the player which will take you to the G4TV.com page and leave a comment. If these videos get enough views, comments and suggestions, they’ll have me back for more and I’ll be able to do more in-depth tutorials or other characters. Thank you to Ben, Matt and Brian from G4 for having me and Triumvir for the gear.

Here are the Top 8 Street Fighter 4 singles matches from East Coast Throwdown this past weekend courtesy of DarkSydePhil. Mike Ross and I had to play each other unfortunately, due to the way the brackets turned out.
Good games to him, sabin, and iloveu and congrats to Marn for winning! Marn, iloveu and sabin are all on the Northeast Evo 5v5 team so make sure you check these guys out because they are some of the East Coast’s finest. Also make sure you check out the matches with Fascinating, who is a relative newcomer to the competitive Street Fighter world and one of Chinatown Fair’s (NY) best players and got 3rd place.
Check out the vids after the jump!

I’m finally back at home now from my extended stay in New York. Thanks again to Triforce, Justin Wong and Empire Arcadia for having me! It was a crazy trip that was topped off with a weekend in New Jersey for East Coast Throwdown.
DarkSydePhil took a lot of video so for those of you who weren’t watching the live stream last night, you’re in luck! Really glad to have footage from this event because there were some really amazing matches.
The winners of each of these matches go on to Top 8. For those wondering, Mike Ross was put into losers first round by Moose and I was put into losers third round (I think) by Dr. Chaos.
Videos after the jump.

Finally got a new show! Sorry for the delay, been working on a new project, it’s an e-book for 3rd Strike players transitioning to SF4. So be on the lookout for that. Anyways, good show today with Bobino, one of the top Rufus players out here. He made his name in Tekken so we talk a bit about how the two compare.
Topics discussed:
- Transitioning from Tekken to Street Fighter 4
- The benefits of double-tapping
- Rufus vs. Balrog
This is the match we reference in the show:
Also, thank you to D.S.H. for the awesome album artwork! If you would like to make one for the podcast, please make it 600×600 pixels and send it to gootecks (AT) gootecks (DOT) com.
