How could you throw or focus attack?
Please think before posting.
3 Buttons is not any harder or easier than pushing two buttons. And why would Capcom change entire mechanics just for one character. That just sounds dumb.
Don’t mean to be an ass, but man, that just was not an intelligent post at all.
Yo you see that chip damage on blocked Electricity? Bring that shit back please…
Those two changes don’t fix ANY of his bad matchups.
Thats doesn’t fix any of his bad matchups either. And you can already do crossup, cr.mk>cr.lk>ultra so…
The blanka differences weren’t that large and he was still shit in hdr. Double damage on ball hits really hurt him vs a lot of characters imo.
It’s very easy to lariat fierce balls on reaction at close range. he has jump in attacks that beat various blanka normals and neutral jump fierce is one hell of a trade. This match is a 5-5 imo, but regardless of what i think you’re exaggerating the matchup, its not february anymore.
Larry i dunno why you think 2 button hops makes a difference! But hulk shorts would be great!
3 frame cr.lk would be nice but i hate 3 frame up close moves period and i dont think anyone should have them.
A command throw would be sweet, as would buffed damage on balls.

i’m picking up a new main
Fraid not. New ultra is completely different and never seen in a SF game before, but sounds pretty situational. Blanka sounds like he’s staying the same. But I don’t want to say too much cos I don’t want to get peeps in trouble.
Yeah, I’m thinking of it too 
Can you tell where you got this info from?
Tasty C has a friend in Japan didn’t you know? and from the looks of it, he’s seen nothing himself, so it’s all unconfirmed and subject to change.
Look at the facts: What we all know is that everyone has 2 ultras, so it stands to reason that blanka will have a 2nd ultra. Seth’s comments indicate that characters like sagat wont be toned down so it stands to reason that blanka wont be buffed. You can hypothesise that if old characters aren’t being buffed then blanka will have no way to combo into his 2nd ultra as his electricity doesn’t put them into a practical juggleable state. It’s reasonable to assume therefore that his new 2nd ultra will be another situational piece of garbage because blanka doesn’t have anything like a srk that sets people up for juggles. You don’t need to know someone who knows someone on the jap dev team to figure that one out.
Heh…I’d like to say that we’re going to get surprised with Blanka in the new game but I kinda fear myself that Blanka will just be more gimmicky than he already was in the new game cuz that’s all they figure he needs.
I’m not asking Capcom to change an entire game for ONE character, I was merely giving an opinion of how and why 2 button hops would work as I indicated. Its not about how easy it is to press 3 buttons vs 2, it’s about the position you are in once you do so. 2 buttons really opens things up for Blanka in terms of mobility as part of a block string, combo and knockdown. (and I’m referring to using an arcade stick for the knucklehead that said I should get one)
Hey, I don’t mind the criticism from other Blanka players. I just think you should consider the concept of what I’m talking about before you write-off what I’m saying because it would mean changing the ENTIRE game. Duh.
add roll super so random scrubs like decoy can win :razzy:
SUP lol?
You’re still recovering from those Roll Super beatdowns you got in CVS2! lol
what is this “beatdown” you are refferring to? all I remember is I won the last JD tournament and I “beatdown” everyone including you. ahh memories. everyone knows I am the better roll super master. you land that shit online. I do it offline at evo. ppl called me “captain roll super” at evo 
yeah so I still want random shit into FC free ultra. almost everyone in sf4 has free ultra and blanka would like one too! :grrr:
This is just BS… why aren’t they listening to us!!! Please tell me there are at least some changes being make to Blanka…
Huh? If anything, it’s reasonable to assume that Blanka won’t be “toned down” either. Anyway, there’s no point in speculating over Blanka because of a few things that Seth said about Sagat.
Same way Ultima, Fubarduck and guys on NeoGaf learnt about the SSF4 rumours.
Rumours + Hush hush + Vague posts on NeoGaf by people who’ve seen stuff = Vague truthes
Indeedy, everything is subject to change. At one point Sakura had her crossup MK in SF4 development and they took that out. We can only hope 
@ mullah i agree with your replies to my post 100%
I guess I’m happy with Blanka the way he is currently. His worse matchup is Boxer IMO. Every character needs a bad match up lol. I think if blanka was to get too severe changes, he will be come too powerful. I like how you have to play smart with blanka and can not just do your specials without making sure you wont be punished.
well i ouldn’t go that far dude, he’s so shit i’m dropping him as my main, so i think he needs some help.
im sure you have mentioned it before in this thread. Just curious on what changes you think he needs? Is it changes to his existing mechanics or like something new new.
Sucks that your switching, I have enjoyed watching your blanka. I plan on using Dee Jay in addition to keeping Blanka.
Those are the best Ideas Ive read so far. I would very much like Capcom to make some changes to Blanka as he DOES need some changes and these are all great. I would never expect Blanka to recieve all of those upgrades, as he would become very overpowered if he did, but at LEAST two or three of these would be nice.
I would like to say I wish c.lk/c. mk s.lp elec hit ALL character ALL the time, that would be nice…
don’t worry the realyst is putting out good vids for you to watch, i read his advice and give it the thumbs up!
capcom are lazy. This isn’t the 90’s where sf is their bread and butter, this is a cash in title during a dry patch of their 2010 business plan imo so i don’t expect any proper character rebalance tweaks. forget blanka buffs, get hype for new characters.
i’m going to try hakan, i have a good feeling he’s going to be jokes! rumurs i’ve read on SRK are that he likes to oil himself up and down like real life turkish oil wrestlers thats gotta be jokes to play! I’ve never used a grappler so it should be fun to try a totally different character style. If he’s al umbering shit like gief i’ll pass though, so fingers crossed he isn’t!
You know what never made sense to me about blanka, his FA looks like a damn good overhead (animation wise)…
