Gigaton Blow (ギガトンブロー, Gigaton Buroo) is one of Balrog's Super Combos. It is exclusive to the "A-Ism" setting of Street Fighter Alpha 3, and requires a full level three Super Combo Gauge in order to use.

Description

Balrog will pause (freezing time to charge as with other Super Combos) and then immediately release a multihitting Turn Punch that will launch the foe forward upon the last hit, leaving them spiraling for a few seconds before they fall. The combo has a maximum of nine hits.

If the foe is not trapped at the start and is knocked down early (via aerial fall), this could give them an opportunity to make an air recovery and counter attack. In addition, the end lag also leaves Balrog open if the foe blocks (though this will affect the Stun Gauge heavily).

Trivia

  • The Gigaton Blow is likely a reference to the Gigaton Punch that he used to kill Dhalsim's elephant during the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3.
  • A song by the name of Gigaton Punch makes several references to Balrog and his storyline, including the eponymous punch and the aforementioned killing of Dhalsim's elephant.
