This game has the best features

How’d you get footage of Akhos 's reaction to someone ignoring his frame data?

I mean I haven’t updated my frame data since 2.070 so that’s not really relevant anymore

So, a game about ponies has a better netcode than the two most popular AAA FGs in the market…
Really makes you think

In all seriousness, that sucks man.

Picked up Sakura as a secondary for now. Goddamn, is she honest. I think this is the fastest I’ve went from learning a new character in training mode to actual matches. It had to be less than 10 minutes.

I was wondering the same thing. I’ve whiff punished him extremely easy and knocked him out when my limbs weren’t really near him. His hurt box must appear much sooner and linger for a long time on his moves.

That’s what I like about her. She just plays very basic shoto button SF, but does it better than most of the characters. Feel very much at home from being a 3S player.

Was watching some videos and found that Isa (old Season 1 top Ibuki) is now the number 1 Sak online. His Ibuki was very grounded and neutral based compared to the setplay/pressure based majorboy Ibuki. Seems to be right at home with her.

gifs don’t have names

but that guy is kevin owens

He’s what I would have been if I was a wrestler I guess. He’s a fat asshole from Quebec.

Idk i played like 10 Blankas last night ranging from diamond up to ultra diamond and i dont think i got hit once by slide under a fireball. Every time it hit it was random catching me not crouch blocking.

Think that’ll change pretty fast once people start learning him. Like if you throw a fireball from at least round start position it’s extremely easy to slide under on reaction. Anything past that, just keep walking forward or coward crouching until you’re in that range. Bad Ryus will keep throwing fireballs, good ones will stop throwing them since they will get punished. Either way you stop them from throwing fireballs.

On top of all of the other options he has EX command grab is projectile invincible, his VT1 horizontal balls are projectile invincible and his up balls are full invincible on start up and projectile invincible as well. Basically in the long run you’re not going to be having a very successful fireball game vs Blanka. Guile and Nash at least have the recovery and frame advantage on block to bait his tools better, but Ryu is just gonna be walking on eggshells to throw any fireball.

Nah. Inside round start distance he has to guess for fireball punishes. Thats where anyone with a good fireball game will throw them. 90% of the cast has easy punishes from round start and further.

Its easier and less risky to just try and jump or coward crouch. Inside half screen distance also makes slide into a ryu crouch hp punish on block. Slide comes out pretty quick but there is a decent period on start up where its vulnerable to projectiles. Thats why i was saying it might be one of the few moves in the game where its better vs slow projectiles.

I dunno if you can call that range inside the “guess” range. If you’re throwing fireballs at that close of a range that’s basically the “i want to use fireball as a poke” range. Which sets you up for Blanka’s buttons any way.

If you wanna throw fireballs at that inside range then that means you’re basically letting Blanka play footsies with your fireball. When that happens you then have to deal with things like…

1. His long ranged 8 frame sweep which Ryu can’t s.LK, sweep or even raw ex fireball punish on block at max range. Risk reward completely in Blanka’s favor here as he can fish for something that can CC any of your buttons and will guaranteed CC your fireball attempt. Giving him HKD and free safe jump/mix up. Unless you’re sitting on super (which probably won’t happen too often with Blanka’s offense) you’re going to have to stop throwing fireballs if you dont want to be put in a bad situation very soon.

2. c.HP which has slower start up, but also CC’s, is only minus 3 on block and pushes back on block.

3. EX command grab which is projectile invincible and can punish on reaction from that range.

Add in VT1 and then you’re dealing with projectile invincible blanka balls and his new ground shave rolling move that is also projectile invincible. Ground shave will hit you at that range on reaction and can juggle when held down.

Then add in all of his constant movement based shenanigans that punish you if you throw a fireball at all and it’s just going to be way too much for a Ryu player to control. You just wont be throwing many balls at a Blanka that understands their data. The random ones that dont care to learn the character you’ll get by, but i give it a few months before the people who still are using Blanka know their options and you can’t throw much any fireballs.

I’ll have to take a look at ex command grab as an option but you’re litterally describing every Ryu vs non fireball character match up in the game.

Pick a sweet spot between flailing crush counter and reactable fireball invincible move and play fireball footsies. The difference is Blankas jump is worse and his crush button to flail is gonna be slow or unsafe if blocked

What I’m saying is that he has a lot of the normal things, an EX move that will easily grab you out of any predictable fireball and the rest of his entire moveset is based around tools that go over the path of fireballs. Ryu doesn’t have the fireball recovery or Nash or Guile to make them risky. If Blanka is performing his movements well with baits into coward crouch jumps there will just be a lot of ranges you can’t throw fireballs from without getting hit. Blanka players dont have their options down yet, but when they do you’re just not going to be throwing them much.

Which again is before V Trigger 1 where he gets even more anti projectile options.

Yeah, I like her straight forward design here. Maining Juri and having Chun on backup meant more training mode than I have time for these days. Plus it’s hard to say no to Sakura’s walkspeed.
