hmm. nice info^ :tup:
yea i noticed awhile back a lot of people are waiting for the short roll > throw in the beginning of the match so the walk a step foeard and dblock. so hopping forward > throw gets’em everytime.
I love mixing up jab ball whiffs into electricity, throw, surprise forward crossup, or j.MK crossups. Then mixing up a medium ball that actually hits.
Just found this out recently…not sure if this is considered “dirty” though. I’ve been testing this… during a duck(D + PPP) you can come right out of it with electricity and Upball and these are the only two moves you can do during a duck(please correct me if you find other moves) and this will allow you to skip the vulnerable animation when you come out of a duck.
I’ve tried ducking at random and most people will try to punish by mashing normal because they know it is punishable when I come out of it…and that is when I hit them with electricity or EX upball. Sometimes they think you’ve messed up your ultra and try to punish too.
I won a round one time when I had no life left and the Bison player used EX headstomp…and I duck on reaction…his headstomp whiff and as soon as he lands…i hit him with electricity and won =P.
Duck Bison’s headstomp!! I’ll have to try that!
you can also break out of a duck with a surprise forward or back (the KKK hop)
You can also do a regular or EX horizontal ball out of the duck move, it can be nice for screwing with the timing of say, a Sagat who is throwing lots of tiger shots from across the screen.
Are you sure about that? That regular ball is the first thing I tried but it didn’t come out…I’ll try that again tonight…
^^^ I’m pretty sure, although I almost always do EX ball out of it. You’ve gotta be pretty quick with the charging/timing.
yes, you can elec, ball, ex ball, up ball, rainbow (?), and hop out of it. there is another option out there, but not really worth doing just yet. i’m experimenting with it right now, and if results prove successful, i’ll share what i’ve discovered (with credit to Kai for giving me step one of it, of course).
as far as ducking bisons headstomp, i’m going to be testing this a lot today/tomorrow if i get a chance.
if it works well, i might have a whole new advantage on bison and eliminate another bad matchup.
i don’t mind playing balrogs anymore once i figured out the secret to damaging them, lol. still a tough match, but i enjoy it (sometimes) now.
I think I’ve done a few coward’s ducks on accident on response to bison’s headstomp. He may have a frame advantage when everything whiffs, because I remember getting thrown out of it constantly. With better anticipation/timing, this might be avoidable…I need to test this as well =)
i feel you man. bison is still a “meh” match up for me depending. but balrogs are fun now.
I can’t think of any real application for this, but if they jump over you while you’re doing coward crouch, Blanka will continue to face that side, unlike Dhalsim’s yoga tower. You can still do non-back charge specials, but they’ll go in the direction that Blanka’s facing, lol.
Edit: D+PPP goes under every FA in the game, lol.
i think i got something new to try: countering FA with Ccrouch>elec
it ocurred to me during my first playout with my new arcade stick vs cpu seth
i didint plan it it was just a reflex

i didint plan it it was just a reflex
i was testing it in traing mode and it works so far
If its a level 1 FA, you can’t react fast enough to coward’s crouch
If it’s a level 2…they can just keep holding it until you stand up, or backdash out of it.
Not that practical in reality.
i would imagine cCrouch > vert ball would better?
no diference in damage but it wont knockdown
oh yea, thats right.
well…being a person that stays holding DB…i just tried cCrouch > rolling attack…
that’s armor breaking…that should be it
yes. you have to hit someone twice to knock them out of focus obviously, so c.HP is garbage there. rolling attack is the money, or if you want to fuck with their head, use a vert ball at the right time(counter hit with it) and it will armour break.
ex rainbow roll and land directly in front of them,then grab.
not specific to blanka but focus attack over someone on wakeup then last second backdash to bait a reversal then punish
when someone is doing a lot of option selects to break my blockstring(ie mashing jab or whatever) i like to j.hk,back mk, then straight into ultra.it doesnt work consistently though
After bread and butter combo (you should know) Focus dash forward into elec. or throw. Also focus attack dash forward C.mk S.lp> Ball>>Super. Thats fucked up IMO
