Violent Buffalo

or

The Violent Buffalo is the first of Balrog's Ultra Combos, introduced in Street Fighter IV. Executed by charging back, then pressing forward, back, forward and either all three punches or all three kicks, Balrog punches his fists together, shouts "there's no escape!", then dashes forward and proceeds to deliver five savage punches, finishing by telling his opponent: "give it up, chump!". What type of punches they are depends on whether the player is holding down the kick button or not: if the player is not holding down kick when Balrog throws a punch, it will be a straight punch; if the player is holding down kick, the punch is an uppercut. This variability helps Balrog get the most out of the combo even when it doesn't connect properly; if, for example, Balrog catches a jumping opponent with it, he can attempt to juggle the opponent, and hit them again, by using an uppercut. However, the fifth punch is always an uppercut no matter what button is held down. Each of the first four punches hits twice while the fifth hits three times, making it an 11-hit combo if it connects perfectly.
