Gouken is the master… of being free.
Gouken is so annoying to deal with if you’re not playing Blanka. He’s worse than Blanka when it comes to gimmicks.
Why wouldn’t I pick Blanka and win free?
I dunno guys, Infiltration made Gouken look pretty sick. Dat air parry!
Sagat is supposed to charge up angry scar so he can CH AA uppercut those parries for like 250 damage.
If Bonchan knew that matchup it would have been a massacre. He just lost to gimmicks. Air parry isn’t very good against a player who knows to look for it.
Oh yeah, it was clear he didn’t know the matchup well. And I wasn’t saying the air parry is crazy good. All i’m saying is that Gouken can certainly put a good fight.
That, and that the air parry bait that Bonchan ate was so nice!
A question to you Blanka players ;
How does one see whether or not Ultra 1 is gonna gross up when you guys do it on a wake up, or is it just a guess? I’m pretty free to that trick at the moment, and that ultra is HURT.
Well, it varies between characters because of their hurt box. For instance, against DJ it never crosses up.
I’m guessing you’re interested vs Dictator? You gotta pay attention to how far Blanka walks after the throw animation.
Technically not true, you can crossup deejay, it’s just hard. After f.throw I haven’t been able to do it without a hop though.
Every character has different distances that Blanka “walks” to cross them up, so it’s basically about where Blanka is in relation to you before he activates. You have a few frames of ultra flash to confirm, but remember a few pixels different it’s possible it won’t crossup.
Oh well, I wasn’t even considering the hop variation. I rarely use this setup anyways.
Does f.throw > hop > U1 not cross up agaisnt some of the cast?
Deejay is the only character I’ve ever had it not crossup on. His hitbox is wonky
I was more talking about if you record blanka doing ultra from a specific spot it will crossup some character, not crossup some, and it’s possible for it to be unblockable/super blockable for others.
I’m pretty sure dictator can simply teleport out of it.
I don’t know, that Blanka Ultra has good range and a large hit box 
Bison can’t normally teleport out. Inputs get eaten, back teleport gets him out of the way initially but letting go of PPP means he gets tagged, and f. teleport just teleports him into the ball.
His best escape option is ex devil’s reverse which gets him out cleanly.
Hrm, that is strange, I’ve definitely had a bison forward TP cleanly past me before.
You probably walked forward too far.
What do you think about a thread wich talks about series of pokes ?
Like Crouch LP, Stand LP, Stand MP
etc…
I’ll try to write a string section for the guide thread. Was something I was meaning to get around to.
Nice, thanks.
This guide is THE reference for all Blanka’s players in the world (except JPN of course), so good stuff.
