lp elec mashed can lose to divekick due to it having 4 frame gaps, I don’t think the others can though.
Working on the Yun match writeup, I have a bit up currently, I need to write the main body though I have a skeleton I’m fleshing out. Sorry I’ve been slow on this stuff. I’ve been working on playing.
LP electric mash super rarely lose to dive kick… to the point it shouldn’t be under consideration…
honestly I think i’ve played more yun/yang with Blanka than most players here… considering I go to arcade nearly daily, and live in Hong Kong where I get both the bandwagon guys and the nationalistic guys both types of people representing those HK characters… there’s so many yun/yang here it’s nearly every other players… and with that many i can honestly say i probably only seen mashing lp electricity lose to dive kick maybe at most once…

Yeah I’m not saying don’t do it, it’s amazing, but if you have to be 100% sure to win the round do ex.
I’ve lost to divekick 2-3 times only. I was just saying it was possible.
We are all on the same page with it being good.
Lol, is Vega so free for you guys that you don’t even need to add anything to his part? Just basically go out there and destroy?
No one has written a solid matchup analysis so it hasn’t been added to the first post yet.
It’s in Vega’s favor IMO. 4.5-5.5 for Blanka
I’d agree. He has the tools to beat/evade Vega, But loses out in speed, poke range and throw range imo. Coward crouching wall dives looks good, but at the end of the day it won’t protect me from an lp x 4 (or flash roll), mp xx ex dive face gouging. I do like his shitty wake up defence though.
Vega, I don’t even mess with footsies against Vega. Only after a electric bait. Ball beats any attempt at opposite wall dives. FA any others or jump attack them. Poke him out of his roll. Don’t let him OH you. Watch for his fast throw after heel kick. Jump on him when you can and never let off the pressure.
The only dives I duck are usually ex ones. Too quick to get anything other than that or block out. Fa or st.hk the others.
Against vega early jump forward hk

Never been quite sure what people mean when they talk about buffering electricity, I’ve seen a few videos but never found a solid explanation of exactly what’s happening. Sorry if it’s explained well elsewhere. Does this mean you’re doing punches just too slowly to activate then hitting the last one quickly when you need to or what?
edit: Nevermuh, I think I worked it out.
hello, I was wondering is there is a guide to give me a better idea of how to play yun. such as which moves are safe on block such as his dive kick. I would like to read more about yun, I main him in st4ae. any response would make me most grateful. and I’ve been reading som strats with his matchups, I’m not sure what to against fei long. I assume it’s just a huge mid screen spacing battle.
you should probably go to the yun forum and not the blanka forum, just a thought.
I believe fake palm doesn’t gain meter, that might be helpful.
After playing more Yun,
on neutral position… if he tries to jump at you with dive kicks… s.HK imo is the best anti-air against yun… in worst case scenario you trade… everything else you basically trade with Yun… if you’re keeping your range at around tip slide/LP fake ball range it’s hard for him to do much… he’s taking a risk by palming… his palm isn’t as good as Yangs so it’s easier to slide under…
other normals like s.MP/s.HP works alright but trades more often… which is still worth it even if both your health is the same or if you have more.
Yun doesn’t seem to have a good answer against wake up ex-Rainbow Ball to ‘unblockable’ so that’s something i do if i get knocked down and i have meter…obviously he can always cross you up multiple times to reset your charge but he’s also leaving himself to less setups and open to ex upball

Strange, I found HP to work better and trade less than HK against dive kicks at a distance. I try to keep electricity buffered also. Closer diver kicks are the pain. Just back dashing can dodge it. Obviously getting backed into the corner isn’t good though.
back dash imo… isn’t that great either because Blanka’s back dash is kinda slow… although it avoids damage at the time, you have no really solve your problems on dealing with Yun/Yang’s pressure and you’re back at being offensively pressured again.
as for HP/HK which is better… it really depends on range… I guess whatever works well… as you said… closer the dive kicks are the more annoying it is…
sometimes i end up just jumping backwards with HK/HP…

This is not the yun forum? The title seems a bit misleading. I’m not sure if I understand but alright.
This is the Blanka forum, this is a matchup thread that includes how to FIGHT YUN.
see at the top where it says character discussion? click that, scroll down to where it says yun.
please excuse me, english is my second language. Thank you for your guidense.
