Ah ah ah, what a funny come back xD

I would start by never (ever) doing random non ex rainbow balls. They are easily blockable and highly punishable

YoohooDude · July 20, 2011, 6:26am

The times I usually rainbow ball are either:
A) Cross-ups after knockdown
B) Going for an up-ball but its execution is messed up

I know there are times that happens anyway, but that’s my thought process of when I rainbow ball. I should probably go to training and make sure I have the motions for rainbow and up solid so it happens less often (plus saving meter for ex rainbow).

10:25 COOP.

Can’t say I liked how Coop was playing.

He wasn’t doing things that were particularly ambiguous, and wasn’t maximizing damage vs. guile or being particularly ambigous. When your crossups are always crossups you are doing something wrong.

Vs. Cantona he was hopping at him with the life lead. I mean seriously.

“When your crossups are always crossups you are doing something wrong.” good advice man, I sometimes forget to think that way.

Veserius · July 20, 2011, 7:05pm

Yeah I used to have the same problem. Now I go for fake crossups too much!

Me vs. Mike G(claw)(game 2) in my second match in loser’s bracket.

Ignore my fat head and messy hair, I need to cut both. Also I played really bad this set, execution was not going so well. Lots of cr.strongs where I’m trying to do cr.lk xx electricity and doing it way too sloppily.

1:45 in part 1 has me vs. Rekkoha(Ryu) in loser’s top 8 and a bit of losers finals vs. DJ Vest(Blanka/Honda)

Part 2 has the rest of my set vs. DJ Vest(Blanka/Honda), and grand finals against Hugo101(yun). It also has teams up to Winner’s finals including my match with DJ Vest and Hugo101 which is at 51 minutes in I believe, my other matches both teams and singles were off stream, I thought loser’s semis was great, but it was played at the same time as Winner’s finals so it was off stream.

I am the blue Blanka in all of the matches.

Vs. Rekkoha I realized he was able to hear my button presses for balls and react accordingly especially if he was walking forward, so I started whiffing normals, and holding 1-2 buttons so I could sneak in negative edged balls to tag him. Worked pretty well.

Bad execution day all around, kept messing up kara throw, and my links. Whatever I have good footies/reactions.

Shizuoka Saikyo (Blanka)

Veserius · July 24, 2011, 11:16pm

Don’t know why bon-chan isn’t punishing balls with u2.

That matchup blows.

TheMeth90 · July 24, 2011, 11:45pm

Yeah, with the unsafe roll on block, it’s more hard vs Sagat… it’s nice to see Saikyo, but he don’t do a great match.

YoohooDude · July 25, 2011, 2:11am

Against Guile/Chun player:

foxisquick · July 25, 2011, 7:25am

Veserius · July 25, 2011, 7:40am

Maybe, I know some people get nervous on stream I guess.

Good Vids Octopus

XDaiKonX · July 28, 2011, 9:36pm

How do you guys deal with mid-range focus spammers? Not so much spammers, but it seems that players of all levels abuse focus attack vs blanka more than anyone else. It’s obviously to bait his long recovery, long range normals, but there has to be a good way to counter it.

TheMeth90 · July 28, 2011, 10:08pm

Stay safe, slide on reaction, Rollings on focus, AA on jumpin, poke but be careful, it’s not easy yeah, the most of the time, do nothing, just watch your opponent.
