Yeah the labwork thread has a section on how unsafe hops are. I’ve only been auto correct ultra’d by other Blanka players, but it’s certainly possible with other characters if you practice the timing.
Also this OCV by Chari is pretty interesting
I like his mentality vs. Abel and Fei.
That whiff strong setup after backthrow is cool actually. I do the same setup I just whiff low forward instead, they have the same frame count. I should probably test it more, it’s probably super good on more characters than I use it on.
Against abel: Did Chari do c. short -> c. short -> delayed ultra to catch a throw tech? Or did he just miss the combo.
Against rufus: He crossed up with j.hk. That’s new to me.
Chari does c.mk -> hop a lot. Is the frame advantage better than s.lp -> hop? edit I just saw the labwork thread, seems that c.mk - hop has a better frame advantage, but it’s still rather bad. -9 on block. I guess it’s ok to throw it in sometimes?
Seems after complaining about the ex-upball getting punished on hit in my previous post, I just saw a buff they made for it in 2012 version. Lol. It’s in the latest changes in the developer’s blog.
I believe you did not list that rufus unblockable in the unblockables thread.
Amazingly enough i won the tournament. Twitch.tv/wangbus. Most recent recording. I think better quality youtube matches will be incoming.
The yun match is in part 2 at 1 hr 17 min. Grandfinals are part 3, dagger g played gouken then guile… I did ok, yun could have punished stuff but didnt, but he certainly didnt give me the rounds.
My viper match was off stream, just normal anti vip strats.
Dhalsim match was off stream, just punished standing fp with low rh for the win from pressure.
Meth: Multi tick elec is based primarily on hitbox. So like abel is huge, its easy to get 6 ticks. Same for gouken.
Bison max is 3 ticks, balrog is also 3. Its all hitbox. Just after a hard knockdown, do a jab ball or a dash for max ticks. U can do hop too, but its harder.
Ex moves will go through the tick. Also, abel could have rolled i think, ex roll anyway.
His gouken is very solid. But he wasnt playing his usual self tonight. And he already knows that my blanka vs his guile is bad. He won in super, I win in AE. Its really sad how the game has determined who wins, rather than who plays better.
Well I’ve helped evolve anti guile technology(aka mash backthrow), you’ve gotten better by implementing it, and both characters got nerfed.
It happens. 2012 Blanka is gonna blow up guile even harder though.
Gouken vs. Blanka is almost 3-7 for Gouken, he pretty much has 0 options outside of guess counter and mash backthrow. He can’t play footsies with Blanka. He can’t jump at Blanka. He can’t dive at Blanka. He can’t zone Blanka. It’s mad free, Blanka’s second best match after Hawk IMO.
I admit, looking at the vids, my combos were really on point. maybe missed 2 or 3 combos all night.
They told me at the tournament capcom was changing guile’s hitbox so that unblockable wouldnt work anymore. I dont know if this is legit, but i think it will increase the skill required, which im ok with.
What things you think make the Guile match up more easy ? Concretely, his sonic boom meter in AE for example ? I noticed too this match up is more easy but i can’t explain why, i mean the unblockable was already in Super.
I hope nothing will changes in 2012 about his unblockables.
Its easier simply because of guile damage rape.
I can slide with very little fear of punish. Flash kick is raped in damage. Sure, if I do a badly spaced slide, he can like low strong sonic boom, or flashkick or whatever. But I simply dont care, damage isnt enough to make me care. So blanka can be aggressive, stay on guile, and guile just has to keep hitting him, and the hits dont do enough damage. Plus, even if blanka is hit a bit, i know i can come back because my damage output is simply larger.
Getting inside with Blanka is now less risky and you can afford to not get a few more times per round. The slide has also helped somewhat as it is much harder for Guile to punish if you miss a slide on a boom.
Haha, Josh saying pretty much exactly what I just did.
Damn, you rape his Gouken, also nice footsies on his Guile, you use a lot the close strong for a lot of things (frame traps, punish etc…) like kimlegend.
vs. Guile you weren’t going for st.strong, st.jab xx hp elec after the unblockable. Why? It’s max damage, and you can also use the st.strong as a tick if you want to.
commentators should learn something about Blanka, they don’t know anything lol.
