Last week, Ryan "gootecks" Gutierrez (gootecks.com) stopped by and we were lucky enough to get him to create a Balrog tutorial for Street Fighter IV. gootecks is arguably the best US Balrog player and will teach you everything you need to know to learn the basics of Balrog.

He covers regular moves, special moves, uses for the super and ultra moves, combos, set-ups, and tons of other goodies. After editing this video, I was able to win my first G2 tournament with Balrog. It really, really works.

The video is in two parts, so be sure to click through to see the second part. Additionally, if you like what you see, let us know what you want to see next. We could have gootecks teach the basics of another character or go into specific match-up strategies for Balrog. Leave your vote in the comments section!
