ball KD’s help SOOOOOOO much vs cammy!
this MU is actually winable now
What do I do against Chun ex sbk on wakeup? My normal setups don’t seem to work, kinda like Dee Jay…or am I just timing them wrong?
I don’t know what setups you are using, so you tell me.
I usually just bait it… it seems like the startup still hits low enough that nothing i can just throw out there without getting kicked in the face… unlike DJ i can spam electricity right next to him and he can’t do crap about it… gotta love it when i’m watching him block 5 hits of electricity…

If you do meaty mashed non ex electricity Deejay can actually focus backdash and punish.
Interesting… didn’t know… but usually I only start abusing this when Deejay is in the corner…

Off a throw the 5f and under set ups that ves has listed in assorted stickies on this forum all work. Off a sweep you can manually safe jump but it takes some practice. I generally hold forwards after the sweep and jump very quickly (i forget the exact number, something like 4 or 5 frames.) after I start walking forwards.
I still don’t have this down reliably to use in games yet… I need to work on it. Because at the moment sweeping a meter’d chun feels like I’ve earned nothing.
I guess I’m just mistiming the setup, I’ll go into training mode and try it later
I’d like to hear some advice on the Chun Li matchup. So far all I know is I can focus hazan chu and then punish with c.mk xx f electricity. I get smashed in this matchup all the time.****
Be smart, patient and have strong footsies.
Don’t try to poke often Chun because she has better pokes, his sweep will beat all of your pokes so stay at distance of slide to beat his fireball on reaction, be patient, don’t do random slide, Chun can punish it easily, wait the good moment to jump on her, she has hard times with Blanka’s jumps but don’t become predictable.
If you have an okizeme, capitalize it with some mixups, you can safe jump if she has meter (6 frames) so do it, she is free and don’t has a lot of stamina.
If you have the life lead, be patient, wait her, she can’t makes an offense on Blanka, she has nothing for that, expect her focus and her azanchu, easily punishable by a lot of things (focus, stand HK etc…) so work on your footsies, you can’t rushdown on Chun, her normals are too good.
I hope i helped you. ^^
Blanka’s f.dash is way too slow to deal with a hazanshu on reaction focus. You don’t want to guess focus too much either because of Chun’s ability to punish the hell out of that, especially with ultra. Taking the level 1 hit and backdashing is generally okay. EX upball or u1 are also great options.
Chun can’t throw fireballs and st.hk/hp are ineffective against crouching blanka. meaty flipkick and jump mixups don’t work on blanka because of upball/u1.
Her wakeup is really really weak, especially without meter for ex sbk. Safejump, delayed os sweep, is so good vs. her. If you can get the timing down to safejump her reliably off of sweep and slide you’re in good shape.
How is the delayed sweep OS performed? Its not in the Blanka master guide thread.
Thanks for the advice, I need to utilize safejumps more.
It’s an os sweep post safeump, but you delay it in time to make sure you block the reversal.
Any unblockables vs Cody? J.hp after the back throw dash jump hits if they block crossup, , j.mk hits of they block regular, pause before jump > j.mk hits if they block crossup.
the j.fierce unblockable got lost with the 2012 patch.
The j.mk hitting on whatever side you choose and not being avoidable is pretty sweet, not so bad I guess.
Alright Veserius, taking you up on your offer and I have some questions, about the Chun Li matchup:
[media=youtube]eXtpLTjdW7w[/media]
As this video is only 1:41, I won’t worry about time stamping it, but my questions are:
Whiffed Hazan Chu punish: You use slide. Is this because Chun Li’s wake up options are poor, and the slide KD still lets you get in on her after you do it?
Focus Attack, back throw: I understand why you did this, its obviously to get Chun Li in the corner. A more general question about focus attacks would be when its better to throw vs doing a two in one like c.MK, electricity. I’m guessing its matchup dependent, and since her wakeup options are bad, you would want the throw, usually.
About footsies range:
Chun Li’s fireball is super slow, and I know that sometimes it can hit you after you knock her down with slide. Chun Li has really good pokes, but do any of Blanka’s buttons beat hers? When I play Chun Li I get hit by s.FP a lot when I’m trying to poke. I would think s.MP would be your go to footsie here but it doesn’t always work for me.
In that clip I also see you focus a fireball and adjust your range to slide under it. I need to do more of that in that matchup.
I have no Chun Li footage of my own Blanka to show for critique. Over my summer break, I should be able to get some.
Also gonna look over LAU’s post, there’s some good stuff there.
Thanks guys.
The Hazanshu was whiffed from really far. My options were slide, or not to punish it, so I chose slide. With a lot of whiffs those are Blanka’s options, so why not slide?
I backthrew because Chun had no meter, this meant I got free pressure and positioning. Chun’s options are limited in the corner. Basically what to do after focus with Blanka is about expected damage because he does not have a combo that keeps the opponent close and in mixup range unless you use 3 or 4 bars or ultra you have to decide on if the extra damage/stun you get on pushing them away is worth the positioning. If you can put someone into a 50/50 mixup or an unblockable throw obviously becomes strong, especially if the focus is post dizzy and the damage scaling has worked its way up.
Don’t worry about trading with fireball. Footsies vs. Chun are mostly about whiff punishing and realizing that her pokes are limited vs. a crouching Blanka. Go try to st.hp a crouch blocking blanka in training mode.
I always get bodied by Cammy, EX upball help a lot but it’s not enough, i don’t know how to make my footsies in this match up, can’t walk because of the spiral arrow hit low, always looking for a Strike and normals AA seems to don’t work on it, her normals too seems very good, any advices are welcome.
You beat Cammy by hoping Cammy messes up.
It’s a horrible matchup.
