Diago is mashing those dash>dash>s.mk’s in preparation for the lesser bounceback, getting the motion down premptively. Really.
Not that I know of. I think he’s got great execution, but I don’t really rate him as highly as I did guys like Mizoteru, Saikyo, FAX etc in Vanilla. You can see there’s nothing really extraordinary about him when it comes to shoto matchups.
Yeah i prefer watching Mizoteru’s vanilla blanka too.Big fan of The Realyst as well,along with The Mullah.
Mizoteru seems to have had problems adapting to the changes that were made to blanka in ssf4-i saw a bunch of his online matches on youtube a few weeks back,and it was like watching a different person playing the character.
… 4 to 5 = from not being able to safe jump to safe jumpable… -_-; i hope this stays as a rumor.
-LAU
i thought it was possible to safe jump anything with a 4 frame start up so a 5 frame is just going to make it a bit easier.
Not reliably. Also, since Blanka has a weird wakeup timing, it makes it even harder. You have basically one frame to time your jumpin right.
i’ve actually modified my playstyle after someone on here asked me if i combo into ultra from shorts and then i saw tsrai destroying with it. Basically once i get meter i actually use hop mixups to land cr.lk x 3 >ultra/super. the hop BS actually has a good risk reward ratio based on potential damage you can give only if you have full super or ultra meter. And so yeah now i’m working on comboing into ultra every round, its not going so hot lol i’m at about 60% success if i crossup hop and score a cr.lk.
It doesn’t even matter if you mistime your safejump against EX upball with most half decent characters, shit is punishable. Just make sure you aren’t still airborne. Block or hit, you’re still probably good.
@mullah, I’ve been going for it more on jumpins and since I can hit confirm off of counterhit cr.mk now, I’ve been using it more then. It really opens you up damage wise.
The cr.lk links have not been going so well though. I should practice mode it up.
haha i’m so lazy i never try that, i’ll try that too nexttime i jump into training mode!
Same here, getting that plink rhythm above 80% consistency is a bitch, but like I said in the other thread the damage output increase could do wonders for him. Think Rufus style, I-poked-you-so-now-you-die.
well to be fair you can safe jump 3 frame reversals. Chun can safejump ryu DP (it’s just an angle thing) but yes the norm is 3 frame can’t be safejumped by 4 frame can be (you can’t safejump ryu but you can sagat)
My thing about the cLK link to ultra is you gotta be really clutch with it, and missing it is super bad lol. I mean at least with j.HK cs.MP at least that’s two frame. I guess it’s great if you’re behind in the round anyway why not go for it, it’s not like you have big comeback potential anyway.
yes, the only problem for me is linking the ultra because you have to do the motion after the 3rd cr.lk not before or during otherwise you dont have enough charge. i think i need to teach my fingers how to plink PPP +lk
you cant plink PPP with LK cuz a throw will come out!
throw has a higher priority than PPP
hit HP+MP+LP+LK and its gonna be a throw
hit HP+MP+LP+MK and its gonna be a FA
hit HP+MP+LP+HK and its gonna be a taunt
or am i wrong??
EDIT:
you CAN plink (i think) BUT (!!!) it wont change a thing!
plinking that input looks like this:
PPPK (throw)
PPP (ULTRA)
its still a ONE framer cuz the first frame is a throw and only the second frame is the ultra!
so plinking PPP is useless!
[media=youtube]l4dK3PoHti4]YouTube - T SRAI [Blanka] vs Gambarimasu [Honda[/media] 00:30secs in, watch the inputs? Is that plinking the lk’s?
Unless you use the back/select button.
Yeah.
He plinks most all of his lk liknks, but yes that is plinking. If you havent noticed he plinks the lks in his super combo atound the one minute mark…
Jumping cross up mk cr. lk cr. lk ultra is also an underutilized tool blanka has… two one framers instead of three…
Yeah he hit one plink and missed the others.
Also you can plink PPP fine if you do the ultra motion as finishing with df I think.
Ending U1 with a df input gives you a coward crouch.
okay you can plink with BACK/SELECT
but i dont know…its cheating, cuz you cant do that at the arcades…the way i think about it…
and thats the only way to plink!!!
