Video Request: Are there any Blanka electricity combo tutorials?

Ive made a breakthrough. I just got it to combo without ex for the first time ever after a half hour practise. My hand is about to fall off.

Grats! Feels great the first time you do it. Now do it until your hand falls off, tape it back on, then do it some more.

This was my vid I made a while ago. Maybe it will help some of you out, tho the quality is terrible and the room is dark. I discuss how to use the piano and the slide to perform blanka’s lp xx elec pressure and why people get mp and ex electricity accidentally.

@2:15ish I say I don’t know how Mullah’s hand holds up after doing this for a while but after learning more about my own main, Gen, I’ve had to employ the exact same thing (PPP s.lp is Gen’s 3-framer so s.lp xx fierce hands is his fastest way to start a hands FADC loop with him…c.lp xx hands is used after some of my jumpins too). I consistently land lp xx hands with him using Mullah’s method and my hand has yet to fall off, tho I will feel the burn after playing for a long while (when I shot the vid I was unable to do it for more than about 10 seconds).

Also, with Gen I still use the slide for PPP s.mk xx hands (see my vids in my sig for an explanation of piano and slide in much better quality). I don’t need to position my thumb over the mk and it’s my most consistent way to pull off his mk xx hands FADC loops without miskeying an EX/mp. I’ve gotten a helluva lot better since I made those vids so now I can use the slide for mk xx hands loops without a glove and with much less effort than I exert in the videos.

Mullah’s suggestion where to rotate your wrist has really helped, got it down fairly consistently now, kinda using a flat-hand roll from lp to hp, ring finger double tap. :tup:

I?ve tried doing lp mp hp hp hp technique but when I mess it up I end up doing his slide… so I switched it to lp mp hp mp mp… do you guys see any problems with this input?

I still dont have this down. I take it hondas is easier to do? I can do that almost everytime but can rarely do blankas.
A lot of the time just the jab comes out and no electricity, whats going wrong there?

you always want to end on hp so that hp electricity will come out. hp electricity does more damage and has more blockstun than mp electricity.

Also stops you from accidentally using the EX version.

i never had the ex version come out… i hit the move more consistently with double tapping mp compared to hp but looks like i have to go back to training mode. thanks for the response

so i’m doing lp mp hp hp hp and i can’t get it to come out. Am i not hitting it fast enough?

LP - lp attacks
MP
HP
HP
HP - Electriciy combos after the LP attack.

that’s basically what is going on right? i’ll just have to go faster i guess.

Is it possible to do this too fast? LoL.

I cant understand why I cant get it to work.

i actually combo it outta a FA hitxdash with 4 lp and a Hp at the end. but i buffer the jabs through the dash.

Maybe you’re accidentally plinking the MP and HP together? Go to training mode and try it again with the input display on. This is the reason i can’t use LP MP HP HP HP because with that plinking, it becomes a 4 button input, rather than 5.

If that’s not the case, you just have to go faster i guess.

hrm ok thanks i’ll give it a whirl!

I can’t do it still. It’s just too cumbersome. Sometimes the slide technique works but that’s awkward too. Not givin up though.

I find I can do l~h~m~l~h with all mash moves except Blanka. I think he gets 1 less frame to piano. With him, I have to switch to l~m~h~l~h but then I end up with EX more often than I’d like.

i main honda, and i just do it the same way i do jab hands

do it the way mr. snk does, lp, hp, mp, lp, hp

really easy honestly

I thought it was just me, Blanka’s mash move seems to be harder to do then most others…

Man, i just CAN’t get this… I’ve been practicing this for weeks now everyday but i haven’t improved one bit. Sounds desperate, but are there any specific muscles you have to use to twitch your fingers this fast?:sweat: (LP MP HP HP HP)

Only easier way I can think of is to roll your hand over, like an arc over the buttons. I also have found it easier to use the part of the fingers right where your finger first bends, but I’ve sometimes hit the kick buttons with the bottom part of my finger. Pretty hard to explain, wish I could record it.

I’d also suggest running your hands under some hot water. I instantly turn pro after that. For jump-ins, I always do J.HK, then lp-lp, then piano roll lp-mp-hp. 3-hit combo every time. Slide technique really isn’t too bad, I use it when I’m cornering sometimes. Very easy to pull off, but sometimes it’ll pull off some skin.

Oh i know what you mean. Yeah it helps a little bit that way, still really hard but it’s feels more comfortable like that, thnx. :smile:

That jump-in technique you mentioned… I get electricity of of that, but mostly it’s EX and i have to tap the first jabs 3 or 4 times. That’s something that has been bugging me also… i mean, what does your inputs look like if you put on input display in Training Mode? Mine’s always:

:lp:
:mp::hp:
:hp:
:hp:

Or,

:lp:
:lp::mp::hp:
:hp:
:hp:

Something like that.
I think this results in me having to push more buttons then supposed to, right? Or do i just have to push faster?
See, the funny thing is i think, a mash out move is supposed to be a 5 button input right? But if you watch The Mullah’s video on youtube with that input display on, you clearly see him tapping HP like 15 times. Yet, he only gets that 1 quick hit of of it.
Same with me in Training Mode, when i clearly piano 5 punches the electricity won’t come out most of the times. I end up doing more than 5 and mashing my freaking hand off.:sad:
Maybe i’m overthinking it… i just don’t understand why i’m having so much trouble with a special move. :wasted:

J.Hk, s/c.LP, HP Elec always comes out to me every time as:
:hk:
:lp:
:lp:
:lp:
:mp:
:hp:

Pretty much mash jab after the HK, and the lp-mp-hp should be one solid motion, nothing should overlap. I kind of roll my fingers back and take them off the buttons.

I can have a video up in a couple days, just gotta find my camera.
