These zoom in animations are dope
They took a good note from tekken there with the slowdown on v shift too it induces similar slow motion moment season V gonna be hype af
I wish they were more pronounced!
What new zoom in animations? I can't seem to see it lol
@@svenlow7077 There's one on his super at 3:58
@@gamesandluigifan7152 ohhh i see it now! Thank you!
CAPCOM out here buffing Brian_F content, Pog
The “HI VIDEO EDITOR I HOPE YOU GET PAID” zoom in was od
Because Capcom saw Balrog and were like:
*"His rushdown potential isn't good enough."*
I totally agree.
Bro, u on jimmy's channel and brian f's? Nicee. Next i might even find you on punk's chanel
@@ministerquik I am on punks channel :)
@@enderwalker6528 smug too?
@@ministerquik Wait, is he the Ed main that gives Jimmy all kinds of trouble?
@@mappybc6097 yeah
I will comment on a Brian F video everyday until he hits 50k, for the TH-cam algorithm
Rog recognize Rog
wait it only hit me that he has less than 50k wtf
talk ya shit king
ENGAGEMENT.

3:44 Persona 3: Joy, I hecking love that song! Brian is a man of culture
Still can’t wrap my head around HP straight being only -4 lmao
* m.bison has entered the chat with -2 wheelkick*
@@mibbzx1493 lmaooooo
@@mibbzx1493 - 4/-3/-2 and thats from light to hard lmao
@@svenlow7077 yea man he’s annoying asf to fight against
@@mibbzx1493 agreed!
Yo Brian, I play balrog because of you man thanks for the video!
K
You killed it at Capcom Cup, my brother.
I'm loving the Vs2 buffed routes. They made sMp and screw upper more useful.
I feel they buffed everyone's v-suite 2 this 5.5 season.
We need a fresh Balrog guide with meaties, mixups and frame traps !!
Good video as always you nerd
Thanks for this. Gotta love the HP, and the ability to setup vtrigger 2 in a combo is nutty.
This is clean shaven beginning of the season Brian let's see if he grows hair length based off how long the season lasts.
choice in music is always so good
I'm bad at this game and your content keeps me coming back
You CLEARLY love this character.
Am bad at fighting games but trying to get better at sfv using balrog, learning a ton thanks brian
I don't even play Rog but stayed for the whole video, you are good my dude. Keep up!
New brian_f vid dropped let's go
That intro was dope
Looks like Capcom’s tryna channel that GG Strive sauce with their zoom-ins
love it when Brian F drops a vid
Bro just when I wanted to learn Balrog Brain_F uploads, pog
Increased CA damage in the corner, it's almost like Boxer is an actual boxer now!
Been waiting for this!
this guides are gold, ty man
Man season 5 is a ton of hype.
Sadly covid barely any tournaments :(
not as buffed as Brian F was at CC 😍
based brian delivers the info i crave
Wake up babe new brain f
The beginning transition yo
They made some Critical Arts hit 1F later so it doesn't trigger and waste bar in some round end situations
Balrog buffed?? Pog.
Tap change is nice for crush counter 2HP combos since it now does as much damage as HK upper meaning you can exploit the full range of 2HP without sacrificing damage.
Commenting because the boy deserves 50k and more
WAKE UP
NEW BRIAN UPLOAD
Honestly he looks sick for this patch!
Get in character woo
nice balrog video balrog player that wins with EX and V-Trigger
Just here trying to help Brian catch up to Leon Massey
Happy 4 you
Brian exists? Pog
A dedicated video for G as well please
season v is hype
good video for me
I have to learn Balrog asap lol.
Had no idea the v skill icon flashed when active😅💨
"You can just throw out dash punch into vt1 cancel"
Come visit Goldland, I've been doing that for seasons
That persona 3 soundtrack lol and I've heard balrogs alot like dudley in ultra I main dudley and have considered it
psst. brian I love you . even if you're not in character.
Brian, why at 11:09 use Medium Dash when Hard Dash has the smallest gap?
Like you said Hard Dash can grab and do everything Medium Dash can do plus more, so why would anyone even bother with Medium Dash?
You can combo to medium dash straight from jabs and cr. Mp, you can only combo to hp. Dash straight from st. Mk. So in many situations the best you can do is mp. Dash straight. I was just using that combo during the timestamp to demo the changes
oh i see, thanks!
Btw, so are the combos we are talking about just for showing off the new changes or are u actually gonna use them
I'm learning combos from watching your videos haha
I don't think you should be too worried about having your specials getting v shifted as a boxer. You very rarely saw people trying to parry them and you can parry while holding back, so if people are not going for parries they won't be going for v shifts.
Hmmm. I wonder if V-skill 1 will end up being more valuable because it creates the possibility of a complete mind game around V-shift.
Yes, you can V-shift my dash punch, but what if I don't complete it? I wonder if the punch follow up could actually punish a V-shift assuming they don't hold the input.
it seems like they buffed the shit out of balrog VS2 bc they realized that VS1 gives him the ability to fake a dash punch to bait v-shift
With the reduced pushback on MP straight you are in range for VT2 command grab. Would that be a real thing? I do mixups off HP straight with VT2 that work but honestly don’t know how real it is.
Brian,
Your chat zoom-in game is strong !
Do you rewatch your vods to look only for strong chat content when editing ?
Or do you time stamp live ?!
All these buffs could be cool but does it really matter if he doesn’t have a crossup
He has enough robbery on the ground.
@@olimphus26 yeah but it doesn’t matter bc he doesn’t have a crossup
he wouldn't be highest tier with one anyways, he doesn't have enough damage conversion in a walk forward situation like say akuma, seth or karin.
@@30yovegan34 crossup still would be cool
Molotov
I see you
I was here
Hahaha, I was just thinking that maybe Brian did not mention wanting a crossup for an entire video, because Capcom finally gave him one. Then he proved me wrong 🤣🤣
Man I've been dying for a cross-up for this character.
Balrog: FUCK TIERS IM BACK
More DAMAGE, sMP forces stand and v skill 2 buffed as f
i thought i was going crazy with the season 5 thing too...like Season 5 already happened....did capcom forget???
I for the life of me can't connect down lk>lp>ex straight smh
Quick question for you Brian, do you manage to fight any good Dhalsim players? If so do you have any info on what they do? Trying to learn as much as I can.
balrog and cody both seem like fun characters to play but i hate holding a button to input a special move, do you think its worth playing balrog without ever using his tap?
I know it´s not gonna happen because this might be the last "big" patch, but I miss the headbutt.
Nope, it's next to last. Look up the season 5 road map, after the mystery 5th character comes out there will be one final mayor balance patch to send the game off into the sunset.
Balrog F tier now no crossup still!!
P3, naisu
And here's i thoughts he's was short. And and it turns out he's 6.4 in height.
I get scared when brian f points at me
#GiveBalrogATeleport
Apparently this is season 5 but the trial and demonstrations say vol. 6...
cause volume one was season zero, or something to that effect
@@itDingle wut
@@ashtar3876 vol 1 trials were implemented on release, following season1 vol 2 trials were added. Understand?
@@russlemiller6574 well aight
has anyone else's SFV been running at negative 10 fps in game ever since the V- shift patch. Someone help please, I have tried so many fixes and no dice. I am positive its a SFV issue because all my other games have been running fine. Someone please help me and anyone else who may have this problem, I want to v-shift too :( . IMPORTANT NOTE: I play SFV on PC
Install latest GPU drivers. If they are up to date try installing an earlier version.
TURNS OUT , everytime I open up my SFV, i have to set all my affinities to all processors or else it won't run at full fps. IM GLAD I CAN V SHIFT TWICE IN A ROW BECAUSE I WANT TO V BREAK
Where's the crossup?
It's season 6 and Capcom will not convince me otherwise
Are you willing to exchange all these buffs for a cross-up?
hii twitch!
wait...

They buffed everyone. It's not going to help against Laura😂😂😂

What nerfs did Balrog receive to compensate for the buffs. Just a curious question from a Nash main.
they took away his kicks.
V-shift LUL
No but really, V-Shift his dash punches
@@Brian_F V-shift isn’t available at the start of a match. I know there’s no answer to the question I asked. I’m glad you took time out to reply. Thanks.
Nash got a whole 3 frame and I legitimate mention the weakness to his moves now, and you disregard it. Good shit
@@Brian_F lmao

Broooo you cut your hair?????? Why?
He needed nerfing wtf.
