repetetive blanka basic knowledge
blanka is a midfeild control character but unlike fireball characters that wants to keep the oppositon on the other corner or zangief and el fuerte that has tools to make them get closer most of his moves consists in hitting the opponent and coming back to its original position and his normals can shutdown allmost anny attemp of crossing him over i dont kow why i wrote this(inmsonia pehaps?)
this fight has very little of it but…
i think it is better explained if i breakdown the final (the more clear example of it):
8:05 - the first round : i like to find out if im aganist a smart player or some random scrub that has nothing else to do with his life other than play sf4
in this particular case this is a smart one, he waited to punish my upball
8:14 - i wanted to see if he knows how to punish RRs(apparently not)
8:16 - i also wanted to know how he handles blankas elec( jumping lk intead of hk sweep?)
8:22 - he misses the shoryuken and gets hit by an guided ex RR
8:25 - he misses the ultra and i mistimed the hball
8:28 - by now he has slighly less health than me and it took only 3 hits(i took 10 hits from him) i do some others reaction tests
8:41 - he now(with more health than me) enter in "fireball runaway"mode
*he could ended the round right there if he kept the pressure on or throwing but instead he just runned away
9:01 - round 2 lk upball(did he mistook it for RR? i was expecting a lp srk)
i did try to keep him in the corner but he slipped
9:15 - standing hk bait(didnt work, an actual RR would have)
9:17 - broken combo jhk > standing hp +elec(its not and actual combo since its counts on opponent reaction to work and it normally trades)
9:34 - i really belived that he woul fall for this one
9:43 - miscalculated the distance of the ex elec
10:05 - 3rd round - hkupball this time it works
10:14 running away so soon?
10:26 - a perfect wakeup ultra lpball bait
10:40 -telepathic upball ( there was a great possibility of him jumping back again, and i was right )
Blanka is the only character I like in SF4 and I think with it you can destroy a complete shotokan army!!!
Well it’s funny to dream but If I have one wish, I will ask some fights against no daigo, and cie…
Just some fight against The mullah (or Moval) (It’s hard to be a psn user…)
I know today my Blanka is a garbage when I see other players.

i like how 50/50 clutching at straws cross up ultra becomes a viable tactic vs good sagats, despite it not actually being a 50/50 and the damage being in favour of sagat if he guesses right. But coward crouch fireball evasion and ex ball on reaction was mighty nice
Dude, watching that video shows exactly what my main strategy against Sagat is now. Anyone who has a strong fireball spam and pressure game like Mago against Blanka requires coward crouch and baiting your opponent to mess up, seriously. That’s all you can really do. Mago is so gdlk. :[
Mizoteru reaffirms my thoughts on how to play against this type of Sagat now.
Oh, and watching him do the 50/50 ultra was hilarious, hahaha.
I think my Blanka has a lot of weakness.
That’s why I ask you what’s wrong with my character.
May be I try too much to play a kind of Blanka counter attack with dirty trick.
Please creatical my play.
Your advices can help me.
your CCxHopxUltra was good. i liked that. risky with the CC though.
Like i said. you didnt combo much. and sometimes it looked like you tried to combo. but didnt know what button to push next. think i saw u cr.mk to cr lk that whiffed.
sorry i cant offer much more… im bugged out on coffee at the moment.
lol you just do random stuff completely independant from what your opponent is doing. Literally if they put the controller down i think it’d take you half a round to notice.
try to play without using his special moves for a week, it might help your play.
I will now try to play without using his special moves for fights and just try combo.
May be(after training) I could drop a bad habits about electric by the slide method with one finger…
Thanks a lot for advices and sorry for polluting this topic with my garbage video and very bad Blanka…
are you saying straight up no specials? or is used to end combos allowed?
also for those who upball for an AA, CR.MP is just as effective as rufus’s the animation looks wonky, but it still hits deep and trades less than up ball. ex upball is better obviously… but without bar. cr.mp owns.
i’m serious, when i broke my stick and had to play on a 360 pad i ditched specials since they wouldn’t come out half the time and stuck to normals, i hadn’t worked on my footsies since cvs2 in 2003
