Just fought my first Blanka; dude did nothing but jumps and cannonball rolls… This guy is going to make YOLO Ken’s look like Ryu players, in comparison.
Ken’s starts on 2/27, Mika’s starts on 3/08, Ibuki’s starts on 3/15. There is a fair bit of overlap as they run through the four weeks you need for each.
Fuck the Mika one looks cool. Capcom’s not making it any easier for me to not go running back to her.
Thanks GetTheTables! They should have launched them earlier to coincide with the MH launch… oh well, I guess it will keep the hype up. I’m probably going to get them all, but am most excited for the Ibuki one, obviously.
Man, I really want to see the nostalgic Blanka costume in a match. Every one I’ve ran into is using the Default or Story.
Laggy 2 bar Blanka is impossible to react to. Cant tell if he’s jumping or doing rainbow ball and both are only showing half the animation
How Blanka fight Menat.
What if blanka slide only good vs slow fireballs like nash or guile
Then blanka is where he needs to be.
Laggy blanka balance matters more than esports balance.
Blankas dash is 16 frames going by in game frame data. Gotta be wrong, right? I can react to him like he’s a grappler for whatever reason
Ono made sure Blanka players are at least 36% laggier than the other players so that his traditional gameplay stays intact. Report any occurrence of being able to react to Blanka balls and it will be fixed during the next maintenance!
In all honesty, why are accepting two bar matches to begin with? Choosing a five bar connection is a gamble on a good day.
Ugh… I am so bad at this game. I can hold my Ls like a man, but I’m so sick of bouncing between Rookie and Bronze. I’m working on Gief’s Gym, and have swapped over to Ryu in hopes of really working on the fundamentals of the game, but I’d be curious to know if anyone has additional tips or suggestions on resources that I should be looking into.
Please, I’m desperate. I’m about to tank back to zero points and pretend that I never even went online.
Try learning Cammy, she is better to learn the fundamental stuff of this game than Ryu is, IMO.
Where are you located? I’m near Toronto, Canada. If you’re not too far, we can run some sets and I can give you some pointers… Not that I’m amazing, but I’m not much higher rank than you, so it won’t be a blow out.
Haha, Cammy’s who I have been maining, but I fear I’ve got too much braindead muscle memory with her. I’m a goddamned festival of midscreen spiral arrows the second I get flustered.
I’m in Denver… if you’re up for a few online games, though, I’d appreciate any pointers.
I accepted a 5. It was laggy as fuck. After the match he was a 2 at the win screen.
Yeah I’m with Mike, day one thoughts blanka seems garbo. Can either punish or stop everything in its tracks. Very early days, not seeing anything super good just yet. Long way to go.
Denver should be okay. Send me a friend request to my CFN “OldManRage”. I also just sent you a long PM.
When you get flustered, to just try walking forward and be ready to block. Pretty much the last thing you want to do is a normal, raw, Spiral Arrow.
