High rank Blanka. :slight_smile:

I recently placed third along with DaveyDave808 in a 2v2 team tournament here in Hawaii. Not bad for only playing this game once a week and still undecided on a main (although Iā€™m still going to keep Blanka/Honda since I played them since vanilla).

Hereā€™s a video of one of our matches that was recorded: [media=youtube]UE1ScFaiCLo]YouTube - SSF4 PC Gamerz 2v2 Tournament 09/03/10 - Freelipinos [DaveyDave808 (VI)/Wil (BL)] vs. Team Dirty Harry [Toshi (RY)/Leviathan (CH)[/media]

We went on to make third place but got sent to losers by a Ibuki/Viper team and then peaced out by Dagger_G and his teammate. I donā€™t have much Viper/Guile experience (especially the way Shigz and Dagger_G plays their respective characters), so I was really unfamiliar with the matches.

Enjoy the videos in the channel and look for more to be uploaded in the future. Although he didnā€™t enter yesterdayā€™s tournament, Josh P, who is a beast of a Blanka player will also be attending future tournaments.

I think the biggest things Iā€™m noticing from watching that vid is the amount of accidental EX electricity, letting Ryu jump for free(which even the announcers think was free?) and non canceled cowards crouches.

I like baiting EX birds with cowards crouch though, Iā€™m always a little scared to do that myself.

lol yeah I messed up in my pianoing of jab-electricity and accidental EX electricities. In our two other matches though my execution was on point. The two times we lost, execution fell apart for both of us. I know I could have done better and hopefully some of you guys can help me out on the dagger_g (guile) and shigz (viper) match. :nunchuck:

First match is Mizoteru vs Dhalsim:

A Blanka vid I have made a while ago.It is not very long,but it took me while to edit,gather and put everything together.
Anyone who got the time and feel like watching,take a look:

cool

EDIT: Actually, after watching several vanilla matches, Iā€™m starting to believe it really is mizoteru. I could swear he was much better than that though. Where are all the c.lp xx electricity blankas then? Clearly, Mizoteru doesnā€™t use them. AT ALL. And heā€™s increadibly free on wakeup.

The part that surprises me is the endingā€¦ HP electricity on blockā€¦wow.

man that is some comedy gold. at some points i wished you had used Trolololol for the music.

if u want real blanka matches, that are at least entertaining
look up
daeddook
Korean blanka
while he is facing inferior opponents, he is smart and fun to watch

As for the mizoteru stuff, well, i hope its not him, bc shitty i sshitty. Anyone watch that guile match? ugh

I think everyone has seen the topic I have made long time ago which is called ā€œI canā€™t beat a good Kenā€.
The main reason why I made this topic is because that was also the first time when I faced PunkJewdā€™s Ken since I have never seen a Ken player before who is putting so much pressure on Blanka.Yesterday I played him again after almost 3 months and this time I played a little bit more patient and used more pokes while my mistakes in the past were that I never used any pokes and way too many random balls.Still,some mistakes here and there though:

FA that forward kick! Itā€™s the reason he can keep pressure on you.

sounds promising, iā€™ll check it out when i get home.

same as before.

LOL that was an awesome setup at the end with HK upball into like 3 million hits of HP elec chip.

Mizoteru doesnt use electricity pressure.Most matches that i have watched of his Blanka has consisted of very patient turtle tactics,which frustrates the hell out of his opponent,which results in them getting pissed off.I think he is awesome.If you think that he is incredibly free on wakeup, arrange to play him.Then come back,and post your thoughts.

Did you read any of the advice that was offered on ā€œthat threadā€ after you had given a link to your youtube page once again?
Or are all of your threads merely pointers to your youtube channel?
Seriously m8.If you arent on here,giving out links to your latest Youtube upload-Your camped on dspā€™s channel,telling all of his subs to watch your latest video.
I like you.Butā€¦jesus christ!!! Too many youtube channel advertisements man.

thereā€™s little bit of improvement from last timeā€¦ but you still heavily rely on ball. Honestlyā€¦ itā€™s not like Iā€™m telling you not to use any ballā€¦ but youā€™re really limiting yourselfā€¦ the only time you really use normalsā€¦ like c.MP is when you use it to whiff then throw a ball out but you donā€™t really use his normals to attack other than jumping normal. Also the fact you use LP jump -> electricity combo makes me feel like you still havenā€™t gotten a grasp of the basic slide/piano into extricityā€¦ if youā€™re using padsā€¦ thatā€™s just tough luckā€¦ gotta figure your own methodā€¦ but i remember someone mention jump MK+LP, c.MK+LP, HP gives your HP electricityā€¦ this actually works well and this method donā€™t require any piano or slide method to get it outā€¦ if you canā€™t do it.

I dunno if youā€™re gonna listen i saw that thread where lots of people was giving you some adviceā€¦ i wasnā€™t sure is it because you donā€™t bother with itā€¦ orā€¦ they werenā€™t clear enough.

regardless thatā€™s my take on your video
