To people who use c.LK s.LP xx electricity as their blockstring choice. I think that it’s an ok blockstring but i kinda wonder if it’s because people aren’t willing to learn how to c.LK xx electricity properly. while c.LK s.LP is a frame trap it also can get reversaled and if it’s the cs.LP version then you can trade with jabs. I’ve seen some people use this far too much. I don’t think it’s really bad at all i just think that some people might be using it because they find it far easier then doing c.LK xx HP elec since it’s easy to buffer. If that’s the case then i do disagree with it’s usage.
Another piano method I started using. for cr lk> cr lk> hp elec is crouch everything lk mp lp lk mp lp lk hp which is a tighter combo, safer on block, and is a frame trap if messed up.
My preferred elec stuff is actually stand lp to elec, rather than crouch lk. I use crouch lk on ambiguous wakeup settups, but when just walking back and forward I prefer standing lp. The reason why is pushback. for the most part, the standing lp into elec blockstring usually will lead to the elec being blocked. However, the crouch lk into elec often whiffs on many opponents, especially rufus and abel. (lost a round to ricky ortiz cuz of that random crap). Ves likely can provide a better explanation, but thats how i see it.
Yeah in terms of actual grounded pressure the st.lp xx elec string is way better because the st.lp has that “move forward” property that it applies to things it is canceled into.
I don’t use cr.lk, st.lp much at all, I generally prefer cr.lk x2, so I can hit confirm and then go for an additional frame trap(ch. cr.mk fishing) or try to kara throw or whatever. cr.lk xx elec opens up easy peasy os sweep. On characters elec whiffs on I can just go into ball which is also a knockdown now.
You can’t always do reversal proof strings, you have to vary it up I think in general to get people to not block, but you can do a lot of variation with blanka in regards to elec strings.
Nishikin’s stats against other top players.
No recording. =(
Witch are the best meaties with elec ? Cr lk, stand lp xx elec hp ? Cr mk xx elec hp ?
It depends what you mean by best.
I mean more damaging and less character specific possible.
Unblockable j.hk vs Boxer is really good. I find it easier to land in AE 2012.
timing details?
I am bad at it
I like cr.lk xx elec because it’s the safest, least character specific, and lets you os.
You have to do it much earlier than you would in AE. Sort of like the earliest you can press the button so that it will actually hit. I’ll post a vid later.
please do it fast!
out of 50 tries i got it once… 
Just waiting on my camery battery to charge then I’ll record the vid. The timing is actually not that early. Maybe I was just thinking relative to AE/Super… Anyway, the timing is kinda like the earliest the move will hit in front, but doesn’t. Hard to explain, but if you watch the vid in slow motion you can see why. On a neutral Boxer, the move actually crosses up as he is rising, but he wakes up into it which forces it to hit in front. If he holds back, he cancels his last standing frame by blocking, but since the move crosses up after he blocks, he gets hit. If he holds forward he walks into it. One thing I didn’t realize about this unblockable is that Boxer can actually crouch underneath it :\ Big risk for him though cos you can mess with the timing and make it hit anyway.
the one time I hit it, it looked indeed very strange! but I still think it’s a 1 or 2 framer
Bleh… sorry about taking so long to upload. Turns out my camera’s battery didn’t need charging. It’s just that the camera is fucked. Randomly switches off and sometimes refuses to turn on. Every time I started recording it just randomly turned off. I spent more time trying to record than I spent setting up the unblockable :
Finally managed to record it, but I didn’t bother editing it to make it look pretty. Added in the corner Level 2 focus crumple reset that I spoke about in the labwork thread at the end of the vid.

Okay I’ll practice that. Thanks man.
Figured out the trick, you have to dash kind of slow so you walk a pixel before dashing, this timing probably opens up other unblockables on other characters.
Just got it 3x in a row.
Could be that walking for a pixel gives you a bigger window. When I do it I just mash dash and then jump.
I can’t get it to do the funky neutral crossup without the 1 pixel walk.
I can get a weird 50/50 but I can’t get the setup right. I tired about 20 times before trying to slow down the dash.
There seems to be multiple timings for this unblockable. If I do it by mashing dash and then jumping, neutral Boxer gets hit in front (this is what I used in the vid). If I delay the jump slightly, he gets hit at the back. Both setups lead to the unblockable. It seems that you are right that by delaying the timing on the dash or the jump makes it easier to land though.
