Translated AE2012 Blanka changes

[scumbag]

about the horizontal ball fadc: ive seen the fierce version knockdown but havent seen the ex version in a combo yet… does it knockdown as well and is the knockdown state a free juggle hit…? has anyone seen or heard or read about the state the ball leaves the opponent in…?

im pleased to see that capcom finally made a correct decision in buffing Blanka, that was the only buff he truly needed, everything he is receiving is just icing on the cake… there isnt a reason now for blanka to be excluded from making it into the top 32 (if not farther) Evo 2012…

The more i think about the upball thing the more excited i am…

I’m thinking you can even use this on gimmick wakeup (maybe unblockables lol)… where you do ex upball as crossup…before… this is such a bad idea because like horizontal ball on hit… you end up right next to your opponent for their favorite combo of their choice… but now… it knocksdown… LOL… i can see why i might risk it if i got a lot of meters to spare…

-LAU

you can crossup on enemy wakeup with ex UPBALL in AE??? i do this a lot with horiball to finish somebody, but it works with upball too? does this work on everybody? you have to stand right next to ur enemy right?
and this does knock down in 2012??? WTF??? I LIKE!!!
i mean this is gonna be an instant, invincible knockdown on enemy wakeup LOL
nice gimmick

i thought about using Hard hori ball for this, but I’m sure the distance will never be right for a KD
but if you can do this, u could do:

j attack, cr.HK, instant crossup with EX hori ball FADC combo! LOL

okay this would be a gimmick, but EX upball knocking down is a fact and it’s gonna be GREAT!
GIMME DAT GAME!!!

Ex upball hit cross up, so KD and invincible make me laugh a lot, funny trick. xD

[Veserius]

I’m trying to figure out how the mirror works now when someone has meter. I guess it’s more turtley/bait filled.

[TheMeth90]

Hop to break charge will be the only thing good.

[Mehtbh]

Hop to break charge will be the only thing good.

Not sure what you mean but this definitely doesn’t affect up ball ;o

[ilitirit]

Easy-peasy to do vs big characters. Hawk players are going to loathe this match even more now, considering that they could only punish mid-screen up ball if it hit meaty.

[TheMeth90]

Not sure what you mean but this definitely doesn’t affect up ball ;o

I mean do a Hop forward in the mirror will be great to break charge so the Blanka can’t do a reversal with charge.

I didn’t know that about the EX upball hit cross up, with the property to KD, it’s look crazy… with good setups, it will be a nasty thing.

Looks like I’ll be playing Blanka again in 2012. After getting crapped on by Capcom since vanilla, this is Blanka’s first chance to actually be a top tier character. He’ll probably still have some bad matchups but the days of him having 7-3s against important segments of the cast are over. I’m excited about SF4 for the first time since the day Super came out.

Nice to see you back Viscant, I’ve been attempting to hold down Blanka technology in your absence, hopefully you can help us crank out some stuff.

[atirador]

Finally!! EX upball KD on hit.

This opens the possibility of using EX upball on combos, especially if you’re too far to score a KD on hori ball.

As Veserius said, this should change the mirror match A LOT since you cannot abuse your opponent’s wakeup without consequence as before

[TheMeth90]

Blanka top tier in AE 2012 ? No please, just middle tier, i don’t want to see Daigo mains him.

[foxisquick]

I’m trying to figure out how the mirror works now when someone has meter. I guess it’s more turtley/bait filled.

i think the question comes down is can i raw U1 a blocked exupball now. if so then that will be super interesting.

[TheMeth90]

Blanka will land close just like HP Ball now i guess.

[bendermac]

If you in any way contributed to this Capcom has literally 0 idea about how to balance a game

you know yes, you are one of the people who complain too that blanka is missing out. do you try to contact capcom on to improve him? no! you rather talk down to people who want blanka stronger. seriously… f u!!!

[TuboWare]

This is a really big deal. We have all wanted this since vanilla.

[TheMeth90]

And guys, safe jump Blanka will become very hard with his late wake up ?

[Veserius]

I might be frank about the character’s weaknesses, but I wasn’t going to jump on your scrubby bandwagon thread.

Anyways this is how you do this, fuck off, you suck at this game, and people like you influencing the game design is BAD.

Safejumping another Blanka isn’t too bad.

[Ellipsen]

How do we feel about the more punish-ability on block? Minor setback? Will just have to be a bit choosier when throwing it out, but I look at it this way, it will save ex now and then. Lets hope it cant be ultra punished easily.

[Veserius]

I’m already getting ultra’d for throwing it out anyways.

I just hope it’s not in walk forward -> combo range for most characters. If sak can do walk forward cr.hp or something thats going to suck.
