Damn it, you had me all excited that it was an official video, but it is just a fan with modded frame data. The guy went as far as to make cr. mk at least +6 (assuming as he shouldn’t change cr. hk properties as those have never been mentioned). 3 frame hit confirmable ultra…lol. I imagine cr. mk will become +5.

Video is here: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/sep/29/blankas-ultra-street-fighter-4-improved-crouching-medium-kick-change-demonstrated-modded-ssf4-ae-v2012-footage/

He also demonstrated cr.mk, st.hk which is already possible now.

direct link to the possible usf4 blanka cMK buff demonstration

Apart from the cr.MK > st.HK (wich is possible since Vanilla), the video is interesting.

The BnB combo cr.MK > st.LP xx Ball would be almost impossible to miss, even in tight situations, wich is nice for people with terrible execution like me.

3x cr.MK in the corner is nice, but I don’t know how Capcom will feel about an “easy” 3f link into Ultra 1 for Blanka.

j.HK > wait a little and cr.MK > cr.MK > U1

Is a much easier hit confirm than trying to see the “Counter Hit” message popup on the corner of the screen

Maybe they’ll adjust U1 startup.

I’m pretty sure cr. mk to U1 will be a 2f link, just like neutral mp -> u1. I don’t even think 3f link would be broken though, as there are other characters that can combo ultra much easier and with a variety of different ways. I wish blanka had a non-charge ultra. Make u2 motion based. Make his U2 anti-air hakan like :wink:

Definitely not broken, but Capcom doesn’t seem to love Blanka that much, so a buff like that doesn’t seem quite likely

A motion U2 would be very useful, but if what happened to Dictator’s U2 is any indicator, we shouldn’t put too much hope on that change

It woul be so nice to watch the matches from Topaga B League on YouTube

Wao (Oni) defeated NISHIKIN 3x0

I imagine the vids are on the int4twebs somehwere. I remember seeing the Nishikin/Michael Tan matches. Can’t remember where though (twitch or nico nico probably).

I was playing AE2012 online last night after quite some time away.

God, I suck!

I won some matches against good players, even regained some BPs and PPs, but I managed to lose to a 700BP/PP T.Hawk (!!) that mashed SPD all the time (!!!).

I lost 3 or 4 times to a 17k BP 3k PP Blanka player that kept doing vanilla Blanka gimmicky bullshit, hop > throw, hop > elec, hop > hop > sweep and all that…

I was really hating and loathing myself for being so bad at the game

Just needed to vent… sorry

Ultimate Blanka (All caps)? Upball, upball. I hate playing him. Tried to teach him a load of proper combos, but nothing stuck. Inflated bp/pp from online gimmicks, I murder him in vs.

watch me get bopped as I’m half awake

How was the lag?

You started eating a lot of fireballs, trying to slide too late

not too bad, but it wasn’t offline obviously.

was getting hit by dash forward into buttons too.

oh well.

Anyway, it was a nice set.

You almost took it, that Ryu player was really solid and patient, it’s always hard to fight against patient Ryus… not to mention that he knew how to change the pace, sometimes rushing you up for some quick rounds.

thing is I don’t think he was patient at all. He got really aggressive and started taking gambles.

Thoughts on Proximity block os?

I’ve tried it but without success (on blanka) but this is before i watched Yeb’s explanation.

I was thinking maybe it could be good to use U2 against someone like sagat mid close/mid range?
or even U2 air against wake up

or maybe even a simple ex upball.

Anyways if anyone got it to work with Blanka and got a decent setup for it please share, will probably gonna try this out more in the next few days.

Quick question about walking electricity… Sometimes after a blocked electricity, walk st.LP xx elec, the electricity whiffs. Is it because electriry hitbox differs according to the strengh (I’m messy when sliding) ? Or is it just because it whiffs on some characters ?

Usually you have to walk forward just a little before the st.LP

hitbox does differ, you also have to walk farther on some characters.

Crap then, I’ll just have to work on my execution. Thanks.
