Good tactic imo. It really messes me up when people slowstand. I’m like; wot? Stand up and take your beating, I had something really nasty waiting… Now you’ve fucked it right up. Grr.
Depends on the character I’m fighting.
I always tech vs. Blanka for instance because having ex rainbow or ultra as an option vs. him is always good.
I almost never tech vs. Cammy because she has so many setups built around techable knockdowns.
Against Dictator I’ll mix it up to throw off his timing. You can beat crossup psycho with ex upball, so it’s not free for him either.
OyaJimmy reached second place in THDremix behind alex valle at devastaion 2011!
he played blanka LOL
somebody got footage of him???
Lost a bunch to the number 1 xbl zangief, officially think Gief wins that match now. You can’t play footsies and without safe balls you can’t even really do any sort of offense.
I’d played Snake Eyez and thought things were even or so, but it’s probably 6-4 gief, walk forward st.lk beats everything.
Also i still can’t play for crap, I’m probably playing the worst I have in 10-11 months. I’m really wondering whats up, my reactions are way way slower, and they were fine on like Wednesday.
i beat that same #1 xbl zangief. It is even or in blankas favor. This one i 100% believe. Yes you most certainly can play foots. I’m thinking you’re just off or something. Gief vs blanka is never in gief’s favor.
Just reread your post. s.LK? it has a lower hitbox so all your low stuff like c.HP c.MP c.HK are gonna get beat up. s.MP s.HP eat this up for free. I like s.MP from far because it will whiff unless he throws it out and if he tries to jump over it i can still s.HK or c.MP.
yeah I’m still playing like crap, I got mauled like 8 times by him though.
ouch
Question for everyone:
Who is your 2nd best character and why/when do you play them?(vs who etc…)
I really don’t play too much with other characters but I do have a 2600pp gief on another account. He’s just fun to play, everyone running away from you compared to blanka. I also mess around with guile and sim. Guess I just like characters that dictate the pace of the match.
I have a mediocre sak/fei/deejay/sagat and I only play them in casuals really. About a 60% winrate with each of them online, where my Blanka is at 73ish.
I feel I’m fairly close between Claw, Dictator, and Dee Jay. I’d say Dictator probably even though I use Dee Jay more.
That kind of makes sense, maybe that is why I am also attracted to similar characters play. I also like Vega(Claw) but am not good with him.
I asked because I think its good to have a few counters in your back pocket, and some of these others handle his bad matchups well. Just trying to get ideas from everyone if I want to pick up another.
Probably balrog. He was my main in vanilla and for the 1st half of super.
Got over my case of being terrible.
I need more Juri practice, went like 2-4 against Weirdo Neo. I hate that you can’t really combo her and have to settle for subpar damage.
Seems like most Blankas alt other charge characters - I’m the same. Alt DJ, Rog, Guile, Honda, but also Sakura and Sagat. I usually get Blanka to 4XXX PP range, then use alts to get down to 2XXX range, then rinse and repeat. I’ve probably only played an hour or so in the last month or two though (probably spent more time browsing forums then playing). Family life owns me - I should switch to Guile. Hoping to play more once 2012 drops.
What was it?
Not asserting dominance, playing scared, etc.
Wasn’t playing how I normally do.
Christ, I hate this game. Philisophically speaking; it’s a pile* of shite.
*massive.
Sol from Shadaloo has taken a shine to my Blanka and I’m going to be one of the players commonly featured in his replays he posts on his new channel I guess.
So mauling Chun I’m trying to figure out how I dropped that jab xx elec at the end. I got 3 fierce inputs somehow and no strong inputs.
Sloppy match vs. Snake Eyez - I do some kind of weird stuff vs. him, but I’ve played him enough to know things like he won’t punish mp ball.
Re: Gief, gg. Dash ultra U1 (whiff) in R1, the man has obviously had his radiocarpal joints surgically removed. Not that it helped.
