Yes. That’s the only thing i don’t like on XBL. Though i have the 5 stars, i don’t know why and who gives me that lol.
My avoid rate on XBL is 42% for quit early when I don’t even quit. Idiots must think it hurts me doing that after I win. Rarely had dumb messages when I played PSN regularly.

Not to mention da PSN Plus is still giving SSFIV:AE for free… 
I’m gonna buy a bigger HDD (my PS3 is a 80GB Fat version) and ditch my SSFIV disc… the digital version of the game is sized over 20GB
(let’s turn this into a console war, just for fun)
I just had a lobby with 8 players, nobody under 4000pp, people dropping out were replaced by other very good players.
And so i was there, between hardcore vega, ken, abel, cammy and even dudley players and i just died…every time
Makes you really think about how bad blanka is.
Good thing was it made me think about how bad i am as a player too.
I have no gameplan against these chars 
Vega: i don’t even start to poke cause cr.mp beats everything, leads to good damage and a KD
Ken and abel: landed some pokes, but constantly trying to avoid being in stepkick range lets you move into corner were you die…in case you arent already dead
Dudley: wtf is that? Never played a good dudley
Things i learned:
I need to get better with FA!
Focusing their shit is the only thing that comes to my mind sometimes.
I have a lot of problems with heavy zoning playstyles and open up down backers
Need to improve my execution a lot
Online is ass
I am an idiot for picking blanka
(Rant ends, sorry)
Made an 8 person lobby to practice Yun. Went 0-2 vs a laggy Akuma. Left 14-2 with Blanka and a hate message lol.
not in my region sigh
I have AE on disc but I lent it to someone while my PSN was in for repairs. And now he is out of town…
You could subscribe to both EU and US PSN Plus, to enjoy all free games.
Some people argue that EU Plus is better than US Plus most of the time, tough.
I had free PSN plus, forgot I had it cause of Xbox and now it’s expired.
PSN Plus is the best thing to happen to videogames since the invention of the PAUSE button…
Hahahaha. I’d buy PSN plus now, but I don’t really use my PS3 much for games lately, and I don’t use the Xbox that often. If I do, I’m playing a shooter. AE only if a friend invites me, I just can’t play randoms anymore. Most of them lag and write a bunch of bs in messages when they’re so fraudulent.
If you truly are considering winning at high levels then blanka should probably be used for 2ndary against some matchups.
I personally think even if the best players were running him they would have very sloppy results in tournaments. Some would make top 8s sometimes… hell sometimes maybe even in under some circumstances they could win… but to have infiltration/daigo level success it won’t happen… Mago might be the best guy i can think of that would play him effectively from a top player perspective. He even has issues winning with fei long… so imagine blanka.
Yep!
I dont have a problem with fighting a bad matchup like fei or boxer.
But i said i am a bad player, because i still have no gameplan against certain chars and that pisses me of the most!
And than i think about what is the whole idea about blanka?
He is no keep away char
He is no rush down char
He is no crazy poke char
So what the fuck is blanka?
Footsies character.
He has good pokes and AAs even if he isn’t the best at that, and also, he has a decent wake up game with a lot of setups, mix-ups with meaties, overhead/fake overhead, kara throw, safe chip with elec, ground cross up with hop etc… but, he isn’t a vortex character, he can’t keep the pressure over and over like others (Akuma etc…) unless on the corner, and he deals little damages unless Ultra/Super.
Overall, a defensive character but not a passive character, he need to stay very active and solid on the ground because he’s very weak on the corner and his reversals are not good and very risky.
It was Mizoteru on Vanilla days who makes me realized what Blanka is supposed to do, before watch him, i was like a scrubby rushdown Blanka who don’t know what he was doing lol.
Blanka is footsies incarnate but he has to change roles based on gamestate(life totals, meter, knockdown, matchup) and go from there. If you try to have one set style you can’t play this character at the highest level.
Which is part of why he’s hard to win with consistently.
Ves, i think it’s the same case for all character about the gamestate, no? Or you think, it’s more significant for Blanka?
I just love you guys!
pretty much
Also Hagen, i don’t know if you already read that but the footsies handbook is full of great things to know, it’s hard to remember, clearly understand all and apply but it’s a good way to improve and broaden your game with Blanka i think : http://sonichurricane.com/?page_id=1702
Firstly, try to remember the first chapter, step by step, it’s not easy, really.
I always thought C.viper was a weird addition to marvel. I feel that seth would of been a more marvel-ish character
