only on the corner though
I have a feeling knockdown on ex will be different from HP ball… think of Rose, HP reflect vs EX reflect… so
with HP ball unless you have corner you won’t be able to combo much after FADC … MAYBE you can slide immediately after… but with EX… maybe you can do a lot more… i’m just hoping electricity and ultras will work here… or else i don’t see whats the point of three bars…considering if you have one more bar… you could easily cancel it into super.

you can do electricity xx super anywhere
no idea if that is character specific but it’s one of his trials so you can at least do it midscreen against Dan lmao
no! like yoga fyah said, only possible in the corner. trust me, you would see blanka player do this on open field if this was possible, because electricity does way more damage then balls do.
Sick as that would be, not quite true. Trial != possible midscreen.
it works vs. a couple of characters midscreen, but you generally don’t get full damage.
T works on some characters but the up arch part will whiff and you’ll hit with the roll
i must admit that’s news for me. on whom does it work midscreen?
Balrog/Hakan/Honda offhand.
Im so confused. What do all these changes mean? How is Blankas ball game now? I abandoned using any type of balls in AE cos some chars can punish on hit. How should ppl use balls in 2012?
If you weren’t using balls at all in AE you were missing out.
anyways ex/hp ball knockdown sometimes, we don’t know how reliable it is or what you can follow up with, so at this point we don’t know what this means.
No feedback of the last locktests ?
Nope, word is that due to Typhoon, not a lot of people went.
I didn’t realize this before but apparently ball to super does more damage than electricity to super kinda weird so I guess besides from flash there’s not much reason to do this

i tried to connect the super after electricity on mid-screen against balrog, hakan and honda… it never connected. no problem in the corner, though.
anyone wanna make a video. maybe i can see what i’m doing wrong.
I tried it on hakan only, i landed a deep j.HK, s.LPxxelectricityxx super… you gotta cancel into super asap and obviously don’t charge… i’m not sure… but the type of electricity you’re doing MIGHT matter… i’m not 100% sure on this though
-LAU
i tried it a bit and i think i know now what i did wrong…
seams it works best with light ball and you have release it. blanka will roll into them but that doesn’t work 100% all the time. sometime the super only hit them once. but it’s good to know that works one of our hardest matchup hehe
oh eh… actually with super… i think 90% of the time time you should be using LP super… i thought that was common knowledge…
the only super combo that i can think of that LP super doesn’t work and you need HP super is like far range c.HPxx HP super (no charge)… i THINK that’s the only one i can think of… everything else… LP super is much more consistent and better

How do you see the Blanka matchup against Seth, Bison, Honda, Vega, Chun Li and Guile changing based off these changes?
This ball change still feels so strange to me. It’s like they came here and read our suggestions but mistranslated ‘up ball’ as ball, and decided to give us a compromise by the way of a conditional kd on hori ball.
