Challenge Mode Walkthrough Notes
Balrog's trials are a little funky, but not too hard if you've had a lot of practice with the Boxer. Most of the things you'll be doing aren't too far off the main combos you'll want to use with Balrog.
Also remember that when you need to Cancel into his Super, the initial Running Attack counts as the first part of the Super motion, so all you need to do to Cancel into his Super is go from back to forward again quickly and press a Punch button.
During the 3rd and 5th Hard Trials when you jump in with Hard Kick, you'll want to hit fairly high to give yourself better spacing to land the next string of attacks.
Beating the Boxer's trials will unlock a few Icons and Titles for him.

i've been trying to do the method you guys have tried above, db,du + p, db, du + 3xkick, but i can't get it to work since once i input the keys he's still in the air doing the headbutt. when would you input the commands?

Ive been trying this for months. For challenge #4 hard I can't for the life of me get out the Headbut. Everything else is a piece of cake. I'm using the Ub method but it never comes out after the crouch punch and kick. I must have done it 10,000 times you would figure I would get lucky on one of them. Any help guys. The ultra is no problem. I just can't connect the move.

Need Major, that is like the bread and butter combo. Split it into to parts, the second half should be the easiest as most people do that by itself anyways... well at least I do.

4th trial normal, 1st combo: How do you do it?
Posted by UrbanDevil on August 22, 2009 at 10:25 a.m. #12
Wow! Ya, you think this shet does any help? What the hell is wrong with you. All you did was give us the list of combos that is given to us in the trial modes, but you didn't give us any input, or suggestions for each of them. All you said was "his moves are a lil funky" yaddi yaddi yadda. NO SheT they are funky! My GOD!!

okok.. I apologize for coming off a bit too strong. I'm just built with frustration here.
Perhaps you could get into more specifics and detail for each trial. The videos are ehh not really any help either because you can't tell how early or late you hit the button. SO maybe if you got two cameras going on at the same time. One showing the action while the other focuses on the button timing..
Shet...
