Street Fighter

Balrog, known as M. Bison in Japan, is a prominent character in the Street Fighter series. He is a heavyweight boxer notorious for his aggressive, often illegal, fighting style. Balrog abandoned legitimate boxing due to his brutality and disregard for rules, leading to his banishment from the sport.

He became a key member of Shadaloo, M. Bison's criminal organization, primarily serving as one of Bison's elite enforcers and often managing financial operations. His loyalty to Bison is motivated by greed and a desire for wealth, though he occasionally displays flashes of a more honorable, if still brutal, code.

Balrog's fighting style focuses on devastating punches and powerful rushes, reflecting his boxing background. While lacking projectile attacks, his raw power and relentless aggression make him a formidable opponent. He is a recurring antagonist and playable character throughout the Street Fighter franchise.
