You can be grabbed out of any EX rush punch (dash straight, dash upper, dash low smash, dash swing blow).
You can also be grabbed out of a close range TAP.
The headbutt is not safe on block, and you will pay dearly for a random headbutt that's blocked.
Regular and EX Dash upper wil not hit on a crouching opponent.
I've been playing Balrog since Vanilla came out too. These are the general ones that come to mind.
If you play alot, you'll figure out the match ups and their character specific punishes.
Others please feel free to add on this.
All non ex dash lows are really unsafe on block (greater than or equal to -8), but it pushes him out kinda far like cr.hk. Pretty sure you can't cr.lp reversal, but you can probably cr.mp/hk/reversal U1/Super. lk.smash/torpedo puts him at -5, you can reversal st.lp to ex.ru loop if you've got the reactions/executions, pretty sure he's too far away to really hitconfirm into anything aside from cr.mp special cancel (maybe) or cr.hk.
