- —Balrog
Balrog (real name unknown) is an antagonist from the Street Fighter series. He appeared in the 81st episode of Death Battle, Balrog VS TJ Combo, where he fought against TJ Combo from the Killer Instinct series.
History
A born boxer, Balrog always had a penchant and talent for laying down hurt on anyone who looked at him funny. In his childhood, Balrog lived in poverty, but he rose up and eventually became a heavyweight boxing champion. While his fame in the ring earned him a vast fortune, his time in the spotlight took a severe turn for the worst when he began severely injuring his opponents, used moves forbidden in the boxing ring, and even killed one of his opponents. That was the last straw, as he was then banned from the sport afterward. Yearning for money and his old life back, he joined the criminal organization Shadaloo, working his way up and, after some time, becoming M. Bison's chief enforcer and personal bodyguard.
