I'm gonna bite your FACE! (official blanka thread)

Meaty f+mp seems to be safe against Ryus reversal super. You end up completely avoiding it much like what chun does in NKIs shenanigan video.

F+mp is pretty much safe for every thing IMO.I’ve only been “reversal” doing it if I screwed up the timing or if there was lag.

reversal shoryu and reversal throw beat it clean, always.

it’s safe against reversal super because it moves your hitboxes forward and if ryu does reversal super he moves forward as well making the super fireball actually come out behind you.

I use meaty F. MP when Ryu’s got super for that very reason. I follow-up the super missing most of the hits with a bite.

BUMP

It’s Blanka time! :stuck_out_tongue:

Any Xbox Live Blanka Players going to EVO? I will not be attending, but I would like to see some1 make a good run

aaww man, BTC you gotta represent for us dude :frowning: who cares about school and jobs and stuff.

I play blanka. :3 But I’ll be repping sim, too bad~!

I hope I don’t have to run into you in pools BC Choi. You made me nervous when we played each other in casuals at WCW2. :stuck_out_tongue:

It also occured to me they messed your name up on the stream. :slight_smile:

I should have registered as pcchoi.

So what are you thinking about the Fei matchup SG10?

Its actually a cheezy throw loop that Fei does in the corner, he get a knockdown on me which you know happens it any match hard to avoid getting knocked down at least once when you’re playing a good Fei. After he does a standing light kick into throw and keeps redoing it over and over. I can’t reversal because both Horizontal ball and v-ball hit fei but he can just hit me out of the air or do the rekkas over again to start the loop again. I guess I just suck at reversal throws and want to know how you guys do it. Sirlin learned this tick technique from Aqua Snake he does it alot. When Fudd post vids up I hope he has the couple matches I played with sirlin where I would be killing him and he would just get me down and throw me over and over.

Doesn’t double-tapping Fierce help with Blanka’s reversal throws? It takes 3 inputs to get electricity so it won’t happen if you tap it twice, and you get 2 inputs instead of 1. If you get good at reversal throws BTC, you can reversal throw on wakeup before Fei’s st Short hits, and if you miss that, you have a 2nd chance to reversal throw after the st Short. Also isn’t reversal Backhop good in that situation?

The Back hop doesn’t work I have tried that, I wish it did work, but he can just keep walking forward and throw me when I land from the hop its lame, and I have tried to hop back ball but he just follows up with Rekkas. I will have to learn to reversal throw, weird that I am good at throws but I never learned to reversal throw at all.

Only way I get out of that mess is a reversal grab. I hold back and hit HP rapidly and if I’m lucky I can get the grab. Corner pressure from cammy and fei is a pain.

yea thats all about reversal throw dude. crap situation to be in.

It’s actually a bit of what you both said.

Double tap FP & hold back. Don’t mash it. This works great for me.

Also, back hop works on occasion when you buffer FP electric. If the Fei players spacing is tight then it won’t work because as SG10x says, the Fei player will simply walk up and throw. But if they are a few pixels off when doing the throw loop you can get it work.

When it comes to reversals, there are a few things to consider.
(you know most/all this stuff, but I’ll cover it all for completeness)

  1. opponent character’s throw range vs. your character

  2. your character’s throw range vs. your opponent’s character

  3. how many throw buttons your character has

  4. if you have a medium and heavy throw, what character your opponent is playing

  5. if your character has a special that is activated by spamming your throw button

  6. if you tech out of a your opponent’s throw can you throw them before they recover

  7. if they use a tick set-up, what is the recovery on your block stun

  8. is there lag involved

  9. can you special out of it

  10. can you super out of it

  11. if they can retaliate after you hit them with a reversal special/super

  12. how fast your characters jump out is

  13. timing button presses vs. mashing

  14. double tapping buttons

What else am I missing?

Finally, some Blanka talk.

BTC, I either do double taps and hold back or I close my eyes real tight and mash away. Both seem to work. HAHA

Oh man, I gotta share some new Vega counters I’ve been working on. Fun stuff! I’ll add it to my HD Remix Blanka Volume 3 video.

I’ve seen your videos and while I was entertained, the stuff you demonstrate is marginally useful. I think that you roll and hop too much. You can take your game to a higher level if you lesson the erratic movement and focus on more sound strategies. Just some advice.
