SFII’ Hyper Fighting Balrog(Boxer,M.Bison) TAP Strategies and Tips

[@jefffisher598]

A few notes: 1) Tap only works vs shoto's fbs when you are very close. The range you're demonstrating in the vid is still too far and can be punished. At Max range, if you predict another fb is going to be thrown, either close the gap with a dash upper and then use a level 2 tap, or neutral jump the fb and then walk forward and prepare to counter the next attack. 2) Tap is pretty useless against sonic booms. Fortunately, there is hardly any people that know how to properly play guile so you can get away with using it. An experienced guile user will just dizzy you quickly if you try to go thru Sonic booms. 3) Balrog completely owns Sim 4) Against Blanka the tap is best used to counter his normals, especially crouching fierce. Never try to tap his ball attack, you're better off blocking and countering or using the jab to stop it, especially his jab rolling attack that whiffs into a grab. 5) Vega dominates Balrog. If anything, tap can counter his rolling crystal flash 6) It's not worth trying to tap thru Bison's crouching rh. Just block it and link a crouching forward/strong into a dash upper

Fam, thanks for the info. I have a question. if a dhalsim user were able to pull off yoga teleport efficiently in hyper fighting , how well would you say boxer would do against that sim?

[@blyrax]

Also, does Claw dominate Boxer because of his Wall dive attacks or does he dominate Boxer for some other reason?

@@blyrax Vega can sweep all of Balrog's moves knocking him down and getting major chip damage from his crystal flash. He can zone him out with his pokes, and can throw him for free

@@jefffisher598 thanks a lot. i have close to no experience with that match up on hyper fighting; after watching some ssf2t claw matches, i thought his wall attacks-which seem very broken- might be boxers main obstacle in that match up.

@@blyrax Vega is very different in super Turbo. Balrog is too. They're both bottom tier in HF though

This is during the lifetime of Fightcade 1 which had shotty support with hyper fighting this would happen often in actual matches
