SSFII Turbo Revival [GBA] - play as Balrog

This is a play-through using Balrog in the GBA game Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival. Read on below for more information...

Balrog is the 1st of 4 bosses in this game, and he is a regular playable character.

===== ABOUT BALROG =====

Probably the most famous fighting game boxer (in a non-boxing-focused game of course)... back in SF2:WW he was clearly designed to reference Mike Tyson, and the chance of a potential lawsuit from him is the reason on why Capcom USA switched around the names of 3 of the bosses.

In comparison to his WW, CE and HF appearances, in SSF2 he gained a load of new animation/basics for his crouching and jumping attacks, making him a more rounded-out and flexible character. Then in SSF2T, he was given the option of low strikes for his dashing punches as well as two super moves.

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- In the USA version of the game, he has the wrong quote on his winning screen. The quote "Get lost. You can't compare with my powers." is meant to be for M.Bison (dictator).

---- When he performs the neutral jumping Fierce, he shifts back a bit. This is probably not intended.

---- Being the 1st boss, he'll always appear as the 7th opponent when the player plays through single-player Arcade mode.

---- Being a set boss character in single-player mode, you get to have a mirror match against him if you select him as your character to play as.

---- The bosses are the only characters who do not have a unique "backwards" walking animation in the SF2 series.

---- He is known as M.Bison in Japan.

---- To determine him, fighting game players refer to him as "boxer".

---- Capcom have implied that 'Mike' from SF1 is not him.

===== ABOUT SSF2T REVIVAL =====

This is a special version of SSF2T made specially for the Game Boy Advance. It has new features, modes and interface, as well as new illustrations/images for character portraits and endings.

In gameplay, the character's sprites seem to be taken from the 16-bit SNES version of SSF2 with the exception of Akuma and Shin Akuma. SSF2T-specific moves/animations for the characters have also been converted for use in Revival too.

It should also be noted that the USA version of this game contains a load of bugs and glitches, one example being the infamous Akuma glitch where the game crashes if you fulfill the conditions to reach CPU Akuma at the end in single-player Arcade mode.
