Just playing devil’s advocate…
but two combos from Blanka can pretty much kill Honda as well… if Blanka got full meters… -_-;
-LAU
Yeah Blanka can 2 combo kill a lot of characters, but his stun output is much lower.
yeah but the difference is honda can start with a simple c.LP with no charge and then finish you with super =| can’t do that with blanka and get the same damage output.
wrong thread!
is there any reason why jimmy cant throw abel out of his FA?
I lost waaaaay to often because i saw or anticipated a FA and hop’ed into throw just to eat it!
its only possible to throw him in the very first or very last moment!
i checked this in training mode and you can walk right into able’s FA charge and you only get that pathetic whiff anymation… WTF???
checked again with ryu and he has no probs throwing able out of it…
Blanka has bad throw range and I’m guessing Abel’s throwable box is somewhat far back.
hmm… according to this http://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2010/nov/09/super-street-fighter-4-throw-range-comparison-chart/ , dj has the worst throw-range, but he can throw abel without problem…
I think it’s a blanka specific problem and I’d like to know how it works…er… not work…
Deejay’s pushbox might be smaller than Blanka’s!
does this mean, that blanka pushes abel too far away in the 2 startup frames??? didnt even know, that throws cause pushback…
well Deejay might be able to stand farther inside of abel than Blanka can is what I’m saying basically.
It’s not about the throw causing pushback it’s that characters take up a certain amount of space etc.
I think that might be what contributes to Blanka’s throw range feeling worse than it is.
that sounds like blanka is too fat do grab him! thats realy offensive ves 
poor blanka…
some things are just wrong in this game…like ryu’s far roundhouse totally wiffing on blanka…he kicks him right in his face and nothing happens…
okay mabe i should just hop and do a close.st.MK vs. abels FA…
if he doesn’t have ultra stocked I just kind of ball it :C
Ball from farther away if you have charge, slightly closer in jab xx hop to get behind him giving you lots of options, if far away simply walk forward and force a backdash and get positioning.
Amen to the not being able to throw abel when he FA. It’s really bullshit, i’ve gotten hit by lvl 2 so much trying to throw and then got ultra. Really annoying sometimes.
Yea we need to blow up the 2012 change forums on this, FA should be nerfed much like chun was in AE.
whats funny is that Blanka can’t throw certain characters if they are f.dashing either.
I’ve had Fei, Boxer, and a few others straight up dash through my grab and punish me. so stupid.
Abel is going to be so strong in 2012. Even if you hop past his FA it moves so far so fast. Hate Abel’s FA as well. I guess jab hop is the best answer to it.
Q:
What do you usually do when you see him activate U2? That is getting buffed in 2012 too.
If abel activates u2 i hp ball if I’m farther away, if I’m closer I hop through him.
ok good deal, thats what I was thinking, most use u1 and im also not happy about his cr.hp being rebuffed either, I really think he is going to be a pain for us even though we can poke him a lot.
if you don’t have charge then i would suggest just backdashing a ton.
