Hey what was the madness that happened around 2:25? I couldn’t really tell but i think i saw a ball and upon that ball hitting the wall you ultraed? How do you have the charge to ball one direction then ultra the other. I know you can do that with hop or something but i didn’t think that was possible with a ball.
Slapshot: the motion looks like this:
(charge) <- -> P <- -> PPP
you do ball and ultra in the same motion. only one charge is needed. hope that helps!
Monk: yes i did. his fuerte is really good!
Wow, i tried it out in training mode. That’s sick thanks delucifer. One more question about it though, im guessing this needs to be done against a wall right? I keep trying mid screen roll/ultras but im not getting anything.
eh, maybe im not inputting it right anymore =P. I got it the first time and havent gotten it again. Do you delay the <- ->PPP for when ball ends or are you doing that input mid ball?
yes it can only be done in the corner. you want to delay the PPP so you are hitting it right when blanka lands out of the blanka ball.

Not a bad match, some interesting play i guess. I’ve never seen someone fadc the cr.hp but that was kinda cool. Anyone know if there is a way blanka can fadc and do more than just grab? Possibly ultra or something?
There isn’t enough time off of FADC low fierce. You can use it as an ultra setup if you’re thinking about it I suppose, but I can honestly say I’ve never done it. The primary mixup off of FADC low fierce is throw or s.jab xx elec. The most use I’ve found for it is in the Dhalsim matchup just to use it to close distance, the theory being that I’ll make the meter back by elec trapping him.
Really more of a gimmick than anything else though.

UK just had a 3 vs 3 tournament. We managed to get to the finals but lost in the end 
here are my matches

As for the last video. I don’t know what came over me. I was in control but decided it was smart to do a back dash into ultra but it never worked Suppose this what happens when you have the pressure of a final! You do so many stupid things!
Dang what an exciting match. I thought you had that! I think I would have just slided a bunch of times, good stuff.
Blanka players unite!!!
Good match against Ryu. You could have punished the fp shory with aultra at the 1:57 mark. I notice a lot of good players don’t punish shoryukens with Ultra for some reason.
^THIS!!!
I’ve noticed this too. I’m a Tekken player and I am very use to punishing to the max. I’ve ultra punished light punch DP’s and stuff like that and people are amazed at me for doing that. I’m like… why are you guys NOT doing that? lol
I am going to start recording my online matches, but I am only going to post up matches of me LOSING. I want input on what I did wrong to lose the match that I lost.
I’ve been watching some vids in this thread for a while and some are really good to watch for tips and more Blanka tricks. Was interesting to see that Daigo match v Blanka posted. Looked like Daigo was always gonna win though.
I may aswell post some of my Blanka vids from a local meetup I won for some pointers.

Me against a Rog at a team tourney. This match is insanely hard especially if they turtle. Focus attacks and baiting headbutts seems like the only way to break Rog’s guard.

Once you got the lead, I think you should of just held down back. It is hard for Blanka to break Balrog’s guard, but once you get the lead it doesn’t matter. You can punish him when he try’s to approach you. Some other things…
Focus counter his Dash Straight. But if you can’t for some reason, also keep in mind that if Rog does dash straight too close, you get a free standing jab. You can actually combo into ball, but you will be punished for this. I think the trade will be in your favor damage wise, but you will be knocked down and he isn’t so…
After your level 2 focus gets blocked, Rog will beat everything you have with his crouch jab if you dash forward. So if you dash forward, block. I suggest just back dashing every time. If the focus hit, take a free slide. Then you can start an offense.
IMO, for mix ups, you should stick with crossup jump forward then throw. If you jump in then do crouching short then try to throw, he can crouch jab you after your crouching short. If you just cross up and throw, you can throw him out of the start up frames of his crouch jab. You will force him to tech the throw. Then when you train him to tech you can do other stuff. I suggest learning cross up jumping forward, crouch short, stand jab, electricity. That shit is not easy but if he tries to tech the throw and you do that, you should combos the last 3 hits. It’s a way to get damage without getting punished from rog regardless if he guesses wrong or not also.
Focus those crouching roundhouses or space them and punish the whiff.
Overall though, you should aim to get the lead and turtle once you have it. That’s how you fight this match in my opinion.
Oh and back dash. You don’t back dash at all. Definitely get use to using it.
Hope that helps some.
Maybe I’m wrong, but you grab alot. Instead of comboing those jump-ins and getting a good 250+ damage you just grabed. I see the pros do it, every time they land that jumping mk the opponet is getting mk,lp, H.ball to the face. Besides that I think you played well but turtle rogs can get ultra frustrating (pun intended)
Realyst, Chupa- That all makes sense now. I struggle with the piano combos though for the jump in combos. I can do the jump in mk, low mk, standing lp into ball but not the walking elec pressure. Looking back I can see that I was out turtled. I’ll start dashing back more. I also need to use the FA to absorb more.
I really think crouch short, stand jab, electricity is a very big in any match where ball can be punish on hit. It is hard dude, but learn it if you can. Also, there are other ways to do electricity without using the piano method. I don’t use the piano method at all.
The slide method then?
