Also to add a quick note in original SF4 Arcade BP ranking, Shizouka Saikyo was ranked really high (grandmaster) during the beginning of SF4’s life, then he stopped playing for the most part. Then FAX Gimoto (is he also FAX Makoto???) became a high ranking grandmaster and lost his card and had to start over. Black Mamba was also a high ranking Blanka player, and was the only Blanka player to ever win any competitive Japanese tourney. He disappeared off the face of the earth. Also, Sagat was so damn overpowered, he had 99 out of the top 100 spots =P
My opinion is that Blanka was a little higher up on the tier chart in Vanilla then AE. Of course I haven’t even played AE so it is all theory fighter.
I am just bitchin’ now. Sorry for derailing the vid thread…
Green Hand is easy to punish but if he whiffs it, he can go into piledriver if your not fast which got you in rnd 2.
You missed that punish a few times.
You let him jump in too many times also.
Use nj or be on point with the right aa’s because…
He can also punish upball with ex gh as you saw, which is lame.
Looks like he was taking a page out of Blankas shenanigan’s playbook with gh, gh, lariat during knockdown.
You just needed to keep him at range with pokes.
Also try to safe jump his wakeup with a tight combo like you did at 0:41.
It was a good fight, If you just did 1 more of anything here, you would’ve had it.
Rewatching this you can see that he’s going for the unblockable -> OS slide whenever he has the chance to but is just messing it up. It’s good against boxer because it is guaranteed damage.
The “trick” is that when an opponent gets hit by the j.hk, their hit-box moves further back, so the first few active frames of the st.mp whiff. This causes the st.mp to hit later than it usually would (a meaty) and gives you more frame advantage which allows the cr.hk to combo.
okay but do i have to hit the st.MP instantly after landing or do i have to wait a split second to let it hit meaty??
cuz i am not able to link the sweep…
damn Im bad
Saw this on ipw and thought I’d post it up

I know I’ve mentioned before that I’m really only impressed by Japanese Blankas, but this is sort of the reason why. no jab xx hp elec, passes up guaranteed damage, no backthrows, and off the f.throws isn’t doing safejumps into OS throw or hop, or even being particularly ambiguous.
Anyone else have an idea of what he’s doing wrong?
