The Gigaton Blow (ギガトンブロー, Gigaton Buroo) is one of Balrog's Super Combos in Street Fighter Alpha 3, exclusive to his A-ISM Super Combo Gauge, and only usable when it is filled to the maximum.

Description
Executed by charging backward then pressing forward, backward, forward and kick when having a full Super Combo gauge, Balrog performs his Turn Punch spin animation three times (freezing time to charge as with other Super Combos) and then immediately release a multiple-hitting Turn Punch that will launch the foe forward upon the last hit, leaving them spiralling for a few seconds before they fall. The combo has a maximum of nine hits.
Origin
The Gigaton Blow is likely the Gigaton Punch that he used to kill Dhalsim's elephant during the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3.
Tactics
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 counterattack. In addition, the end lag also leaves Balrog open if the foe blocks (though this will affect the Stun Gauge heavily).
