As a boxer, Balrog generally does not fight with his feet. This makes him unique among the game's characters. Instead of possessing three punch attacks and three kick attacks like the rest of the cast, he has six punches, with the kick buttons generally (but not always) used for low blows while the punch buttons are used for high blows. He also has no projectile attacks, unlike many "Street Fighter" characters. Many of his special attacks, super combos and ultra combos consist of dash punches, some of which can pass through projectiles.
