Thank you philski.
It’s always difficult a fight agaisnt Ryu.
I have a lot of Weakness and it will be difficult to play an amazing Blanka like Moval , The Mullah , Viscant.
I add two other video.

Some sick sick blanka play from b boy against itabashi zangief. He was at a huge disadvantage because of the retarded up ball punishable on hit system but still manages to pull it out.

impressive how hop into ultra still work at this level :wonder:

More like super risky play, I lost count how many times he jumped in on Zangief, I thought that was a pretty big no-no. Just seemed like pretty spaztastic match, but then again dunno how I would do against such an aggressive Gief.

Spaztastic seems like a good way to describe that match. Much faster pace than your average blanka vs gief match. Lots of jumping and risky business going on.

how do you do the light ball into ultra ? I cant seem to get it to work… I can do the hop ultra no problem, but the ball into ultra, didn’t kno u can do that…

Can only be performed in the corner while the opponent is down.

Same way that the Hop ultra is done

There was practically no AA (e.g., cr. mp) or footsies going on on the part of the Blanka player which is why Zangief was able to get all up in his face for most of the rounds. Seems like the Blanka player was too busy with the shenanigans to pay attention to his basic zoning game. No wonder he lost the first two rounds. I think it was more luck (i.e., connecting with 2 hop ultras) than anything that he managed to pull out the rest…

MY blanka - please excuse the random ultras.

Hmm interesting…is this just an exhibition game? I am very surprised he fell for that 2 times in match considering he’s probably the best Gief player in the world.

This thread is great. It’s so much easier to learn by watching others. Thanks for the videos.

Loved the cancel into hop on the second vid. Will try to use it.

Ive uploaded a lot more vids now

Just uploaded a few of my vids for the first time, me playing on xbl in champ mode. Was hoping to be able to put something up as advice on how to play balrog, since I don’t tend to find him that hard to play against. sadly the only one I played beat me pretty comfortably so I’ll just post this up here for people to criticise!
Stuff I know is wrong is too many (i.e. any) random ultras, and nothing going on in the way of combos. Any other advice appreciated though!

edit: might help if I posted links!

Mizoteru vs Abel (10:55) and Dhalsim (19:10)

Shglbmx shows a different style of blanka. Lots of good use of crouching coward and FADC’s out of the ball.
