won’t well in an offline setting with all kinds of distracting noises.

(lol mentioned the same thing about DJ earlier)
Thanks again. I need to check that out.
Hello Blanka players. I am on a mission to get very, very decent with my Sim. I must say though I struggle against excellent Blanka players. So if you are considered an excellent Blanka player and wouldnt mind me learning how to fight your blanka and blankas in general please send me a friend request.
Thanks
How are we gonna let this blanka thread die? Come on guys! The video’s will be up very soon for the latest ranbat in california.
I had to face DGV in the grand finals coming from losers. There is some decent matches in those vids
Also I wanna hear what your strategies are on fei long tick throwing you in the corner. If you haven’t experienced this I would say play Aqua Snake’s fei or what the videos of me playing coming in the Ranbat too.

Just low tech, throws suck offline in SF4. You can just backdash also.
Not enough sleep ? 
I’m gonna bump this thread, but I don’t think I can give you a legitimate strategy for getting out of Fei Long corner pressure. You can’t reversal ball, or its the round. If you try and jump out an alert Fei will just flame kick you back in.
What was Aqua using tick, BTW?
From my experience, which is limited keep in mind, if you end up in the corner against Fei you’re in real trouble.
Dictator is similarly nasty in the corner. He can s.lk all day, and unless you get a reversal throw off, you’re toast.
Winning both of these matches relies on NOT getting put in the corner, IMHO.
throw beats jump
Yeah, there’s that as well.
poke with low short s.short and low forward combined with psychic sweep/slide to counter rekka poking + a lot of straight jump short worked for me in old school. <- mid screen strategy
but there’s no serious fei comp in my area, so take my advice with a couple grains of salt.
I imagine if you’re being corner pressured, a psychic upball on chicken kicks or a psychic jump on a rekka ought to put you in a better position. against the grabs you just gotta reversal grab at least you’ll get a techit.
I also might gamble a low forward counter poke into forward dash
lol low and behold, having posted this earlier I find this video. ought to give some insight

and for the sim player asking about blanka: [media=youtube]IDUQxHnhN6I[/media]
nice replys guys. So far its nothing that I haven’t done. Not that I lose all the time its even if anything, but that corner trap I still can’t figure out. Like someone said i think it just comes down to staying out of the corner.
I was there for nohoho’s fights his blanka could have ended the fights alot faster, yet he made some mistakes(He still has a solid ace blanka though)

blue tall cans, I’d like to hear your approach to the rog matchup.
in my opinion when a rog player knows how to anti air your mid screen footsie jumps properly (or at least avoid them with jump back HP/HK) then the only chance you get to get damage is via lucky slide vs rush punch/tap
then you can jump on his wakeup where his headbutt is mostly useless (either you safe jump and block or you cross him up and the headbutt gets hit from behind, where you can then jump again as he lands from the air and he won’t have charge)
anyways block pressure usually leads to a crossup shenanigan or a grab, but a smart rog player knows how to block and reversal your grab setups
in the end you end up having to take risky gambles before you even get damage/pressure options and even in those pressure options I find them incredibly risky (risk/reward is at BEST 50/50: damage from successful mixups is essentially equal to punishment from failed mixups)
so yeah, how do you handle the rog matchup in a 2/3 set or long game? I’m not looking for 1 or 2 round quick gamble surprise wins with blanka tricks.
my solution is usually counter pick with gief and play the set out from there. lol
too risky. you can react to chickenwings with a cr.strong making it whiff giving you a free bite.
Yeah Khiem that match is a B! I actually lost to two balrogs at evo, and the funny thing is the first rog I fought was a joke and I just gave in and jumped way too much. The second rog I fought was graham wolfe, and it went down to the last round of the last set. Even then I just lost to a cr fierce punch( best anti air for blanka in my opinion). Once MeganPB post the latest ranbats check out my fight against moocus. This is they way I always fight them, it seems to work to be mix in light roll to shock, light roll to jump just keep Rog guessing about what you’re gonna do next, don’t worry about him attacking you.
I also schock alot baiting him to trip so that he gets shocked and I can start the cross up mix ups. Once I knock him down I am almost guaranteed do do decent damage with all the set ups I have (lk grab, lk m punch grab, lk m punch low fierce kick if he tries to grab me first) I just switch it up and adjust to what the rog does i guess.
Overall that match is still annoying and my least favorite tied with Dee Jay
Hmmm I have very little success with elec vs rog I must say.
If I could put two cents in.
Does CW hit a crouching blanka? His hitbox is really low so I’m wondering if it even hits. When I play fei vs. blanka I look for two things, does he use slide, does he use ball. If he understands fei then he won’t ball. Slides are risky because of st.hp.
I usually find myself rushing down in the corner too, but I’m surprised a blanka is having trouble with fei tick throws. His throw range sucks, and rekka’s will lose to cr.mk.
How is he pushing you to the corner?
Yes. Slide beats it clean though.
The only time its ok to use is on wakeup so it lands meaty. Even then it might trade with an upball.
From what I’ve seen, Blanka can’t use his balls in this match. :wgrin:
On the flipside CW is damn near useless.
blanka can do cr.mp (cr.jab too?) to lower his hitbox and make the CW whiff.
