Blanka vs. Hawk is so hilarious
me on excellent adventures
lol that is good stuff
That was hilarious it’s funny when gootecks was saying how mike should know the match up because he is the blanka expert when he’s really playin against a blanka expert… You shouldve troll them a bit to get some more matches lol…

Yeah I regret not sending a trolling message and to keep playing them, could have got a bit of exposure.
good stuff vs t.hawk ves! that match-up is a 7-3 for sure!
so i have actually been an ps3 sf4 player for a while and my local arcade picked up arcade edition. so i go down and give it a go and its was eye opening to say the least. i couldn’t land any setups or combos and my aa’s were off. i can hit them all day in training mode and online or even vs mode with a buddy playing.
i was wondering if its my tv? i have a cheap 1080p vizzio… could it have that much lag?? can anyone tell me a good “lag free” monitor that wont cost a fortune?
It’s worse than 7-3. It’s ridiculously easy.
Try a CRT haha. But yes bigger tvs, and cheaper ones tend to be laggy. Check the HDTV thread in tech talk, I picked my tv out of there. You could also just get an evo monitor.
what brand and model is that evo monitor?? ill check the HDTV thread but if u can recommend a TV im open for suggestions.

btw i need blanka match up practice. if anyone can i help me it would be much appreciated. my psn name is benzoape i hover between 3200 and 3600pp
So some talk about blanka. He is one of those characters that is terrible until you have incredible foots and reads. Then he becomes solid. If you don’t have good foots there is nothing you can rely on to win games vs solid players. This is probably why most everyone thinks blanka is terrible. He’s not top tier but he’s not the worst character in the game.
For you struggling blankas a piece of advice. Forget your tricks, forget execution, and just focus on your foots and spacing and if you can improve that you’ll watch your blanka will start to win more. The list of characters who can compete with blanka in the overall foots department is extremely low. while they circumvent this with better specials it remains that blanka has one of the better normal games in sf4.
I can only imagine if someone with the defense and foots like J.Wong were to play blanka.
think I need to take a legit break. Flowcharting too hard and my throw/ch game feels mad weak.
Also fuck fei, cjtruth just blew me up when I mostly outplayed him.
Baiting a rekka and only getting 210 damage blows.
Someone is salty! :nono:
just curious for those who plays online and offline a lot… i kinda notice that when i play online I tend to play ‘scrubbier’ compared to offline… sometimes i don’t even notice it… scrubbier as in… i rely more on gimmicks/lp balls more often compared to offline… just wondering if you guys do that as well unintentionally… i think part of the reason i end up doing that is because i can’t trust my normal anti-air/footsie/punish game during online play vs… during offline… i feel much more comfortable that i can react to things

^I totally agree lol. I love to anti-air with s.hp and c.mp a lot when I play blanka. When I play online, especially when I detect even the slightest delay, my confidence in my anti-airs totally drops.
good shit ilitirit:
Thanks. Kinda bummed that the parts of the vid got blacked out during the upload though. :\
interesting video ilitirit
but what comes out when blanka and boxer not get the trade? i mean, what did you setup for the two?
Boxer = st.hk
Blanka = cr.mp (unsafe)
For Boxer, j.lk or lp into st.hk. It leaves a big enough gap to allow trades if they use crouch tech. For Blanka I just spaced out the cr.mp with whiffed cr.mk’s so that it would hit only on the 4th or 5th frame. It’s not a frame perfect setup, and I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you’re desperate.
cs.MK into cs.MK is really good. If they try to jump out it will hit them and i do believe if they back dash you’ll get fs.MK which can hit some hitboxes. If you see them hitting buttons in between cs.MK cs.MK then you can just do cs.MK s.LP xx electricity. But don’t forget to mixin things like backdash/block/throw if people understand they have frame openings after a blocked cs.MK. I actually already was a huge fan of this but i’m finding the pushback is really little. I beat a makoto because i did cs.MK like 3 times in a row and finally he tried to ex grab which got CH from cs.MK and i just linked s.LP electricity +6 against armor (cuz 2nd hit is CH)
Who does that work on exactly?
I know cl.mk will keep you in “close” range vs. certain characters like crouching vega, but I haven’t explored it too much.
Also cl.mk blows gouken up so bad. Beats counter, and it actually tags his backdash for 1 hit, haha.
