USFIV - Dudley vs. Balrog (Rival Battle)

[@LordRumshi]

Dudley and Balrog are a perfect rivalry in street fighter. Dudley doesn't view Balrog as a true boxer but a thug with boxing gloves. Whilst Balrog hates Dudley as he has everything Balrog longed to have as a boxer.

[@Wizkid_Utopia]

reminds me of Punch Out. I've no reference on Dudley but Balrog could be half the cast with their indiscriminate ways of breaking the rules. Bald Bull's anger, Von Kaiser's temper and Aran Ryan's way of unsportsmanlike conduct. Would Dudley and Balrog be a callback between real sport and showmanship? If you could consider Balrog a showman for his irrational style of being a 'thug with boxing gloves.'

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

Oh without a doubt! They're perfect rivals!

[@trpoihgg]

Basically Rocky vs Clubber

[@LordRumshi]

@@trpoihggin some aspects, Rocky gained fame and fortune upon his victory over Apollo Creed which made him grow cocky and lose sight of things. Clubber was disgusted by how Rocky was and then climbed his way to victory over Rocky.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

The difference between Dudley and Balrog is that Dudley fights clean and Balrog fights dirty that's why Balrog uses his head as a weapon

[@kinggabe69]

Well dudley is classy

[@Fureiji88]

Technically it's cause balrog fights as a slugger boxer and Dudley is more of a out boxer and let's sluggers like balrog wear themselves out

[@robertsantiago3102]

Dudley also is a more of a technical fighter that exploits with parry and counter punching.

[@maxownzor2thelawnmower776]

They're both just as dirty, but Balrog hits harder and is straight to the point while Dudley relies on multi hit combos and mixup scenarios. How does Dudley fight dirty? I'm sure throwing roses in a boxing match not only would be frowned upon, but illegal, so are low blows and elbows. Balrog fights dirty stomping on shoes, headbutts and low blows as well.

[@fightingtothepoint4u732]

In a real fight there are no dirty techniques groin kicks headbuts eye attacks are all normal

[@trentonhamilton645]

Fun Fact: Dudley and Balrogs rivalry is actually based on real life events of Two boxers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. 😁🥊🥊

[@p.m.e.7311]

What about Mike Tyson. Balrogs original name (M.Bison) is a pun. Mike bison

[@gary9346]

Facts

[@floydjohnson7888]

In 1997, the IRL equivalent would've been "Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson"

[@floydjohnson7888]

I stand corrected: that IRL "class vs. crass" 🥊match happened in mid-2002. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennox_Lewis_vs._Mike_Tyson. At least one sportswriter even used "class vs. crass"

[@lecapitaine1017]

It's actually funny that you'd mention 1997 - SF2 takes place in the early-to-mid 1990s, SF3 in the late 1990s, and SF4 is canonically an interquel.
