Thanks to everyone posting videos, my Blanka has gotten 100% better :bgrin:
My main when I first began playing SF4 was Ryu. As soon as I started watching how mad tricky Blanka was, I wanted in! Haven’t been back to Ryu ever since then.
Videos of me playing in an polish online tournament that i actually won
tbh. its nothing special, but still it has atleast few funny or interesting moments worth watching.
Hints or suggestions that would help improve my gameplay are more than welcome
Ran into Viscant on XBL ranked today in a Mirror Match… not much to offer from my Blanka. Although I picked up a lot from his Blanka since I almost never Focus Attack outside of when I dizzy the opponent or ball>FADC>bite.
Oh and the camera’s SD card ran out of space at the end of the 2nd round but all you miss is a hop > tick-throw while I had someone else swap it out and me promptly being handled in the first half of the 3rd round.
1: jumping in for the cross-up when you know youre too far away and end up eating srk’s or other anti-airs
2: ate a lot of easily avoidable projectiles - let them chip away at you when you could have crouched or jumped, that damage adds up over time
3: random un-needed upballs that get punished easily
4: lack of grabs in your cross-up combos which are or should be a big part of blankas mix-up game
5: holding back instead of down-back for horizontal ball , its very telling
im definitely guilty of some of the same, and some of this might just apply to my personal playstyle but i think it could be beneficial. you play a good blanka.
also you can go to youtube (a brand new interweb site where you can find all kinds of videos) and type in Black Mamba and find them pretty easily yourself.
