Blow Mode focuses on boxing-like punching and allows Dante to execute short dodges. Balrog has a quick jabbing attack while on the ground. It also has an attack where-in Dante dashes forward and delivers a large straight that can be followed with a powerful uppercut. Dante also has a can also execute a full spin into a backfist. While in the air, it has a three hit aerial combo that ends with a powerful punch that sends enemies to the ground.

Balrog, with the "Nostalgia" outfit in Street Fighter V.

  • The name of the weapon is a reference to Balrog, a character in the Street Fighter series.[3]
  • The Balrog was the first weapon the development team worked on.[4]
  • Director Hideaki Itsuno wanted two different weapons for punching and kicking, but he couldn't extend the weapon number that far, hence the weapon doing both at once.[4]
