I don’t know much about it, but no focus attacks is a good thing for me, footsies ftw. I’m buying a tv this weekend so I can play my Xbox again, but then again mass effect 3 is coming out and I love that series
yea I never liked FA, but FADC is ok
okay, blanka is in SFxT
they say he is in the vita version coming out in autumn along with 11 other chars…
I don’t doubt that he is gonna be DLC for the xbox/ps3 versions so he is definitely coming! question is: when???
do we really have to wait so long??? WTF?
I think he will be on consoles and PC before VITA version is out.
no chance I think… 
“from the Street Fighter side… Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy and Sakura will be playable and from Tekken…, Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack, Lars Alexandersson and Lei Wulong will all make their DEBUT (!!!) on the PS Vita system.”
im just glad he is in the damn game, i was starting to get worried that capcom would just outright forget about him. Hes gonna be fun in that game, i can wait…!!!
Shame they didn’t support gouken, I would rock a team of him and blanka for sure because I’m too lazy to completely relearn new characters.
Any idiot can play vega, just stay at low strong distance until u get a combo launcher. Nobody can be too lazy to do that, imagine yer being blanka and staying at standing strong range, except now standing strong leads into combo launcher. Rinse and repeat, anti-air when necessary, woo!
Until blanka comes out, I’m going vega/kuma, or vega/dhalsim, first team is to reinforce the importance of animals, second team is the stay the fuck away from me or I launch yer ass team.
Once blanka comes out, its blanka/kuma, blanka/vega all day.
Put me in the idiot camp bro! I might try rolento too, because he was annoying as hell in cvs2, and that’s normally how I pick characters.
Actually my day one character selection is like this, training mode, test everyone and see who has the best pokes and normal anti airs, then test who can chip with specials (scissors, balls etc) or run away in an annoying manner( akuma air fireballs, rollento), and make a choice based on that, I don’t even consider characters with an srk because I’m not quick enough to twitch it out. Maybe now I’ll test out dive kicks to beat arks this time too.
So who wants to have the honour of creating The Blanka Thread in the SFxT forums? Whoever starts it must be willing to update the first post with new info though.
It’s your turn!
Nah I can’t be arsed to keep up with the latest info. I’ll just wait for the game to arrive.
So while I hear that Blanka was part of the leaked roster of SFxT, he hasn’t been shown yet. With the news that there will be more characters on the VITA version, I wonder if he will be there and then as DLC for ps3/xbox. Seeing as how the games are being made for the casual gamers and not the SRK community, I’m guessing that Blanka may be a late add because there really is a lot of hate for the green beast, even among the SRK forums.
Personally I just found out I’m headed to grad school, so I probably won’t buy SFxT till it drops in price (or i’ll concede and buy the damn thing the first week, just like I bought that Adobe Creative Suite deal last night even though I don’t really need it), but I hope Blanka is included and not DLC.
I’m curious how his electric inputs will work in that game. Since they seem to be making execution easier in terms of links/chains (seriously good, fuck 1 frame links, I can plink them but they are still stupid) maybe they will actually made elec easier to do? Its irrelevant for all of us at this point because we can all do electricity but easier electricity was something I always wanted for this character, maybe he’ll finally get in this game.
Easier electricity in HDRemix is actually funny because I can do stuff like cr.short xx elec super easy in a game pretty much not designed for that.
I can do c.lk xx H electricity 100% in SSF4 but still have trouble with s.lp xx H electricity. I have no idea why this is since I’m pretty sure the input window is the same.
Speaking of elec, can any of you share some of your fav followups after an elec knockdown?
Taunt?
Nah, i’ll have to come back to that one. It depends on the character, a setup I use on guile wouldn’t work on gief for instance.
Thats OK, thanks! What do you use on each of them? Just looking for general ideas.
