I’m having trouble getting consistent results with punishing Blanka balls with ruffian kicks and u2. How have the changes in Blanka ball push back in 2012 changed our punish options?
How do I fight Juri? As far as matchup knowledge is concerned all I know is that you can crack kick over low fireballs, slide under low and high ones, and her crouching hurtbox is retarded good.
just a few heads up:
-ALL pinwheels are unsafe and can be punished by nearly everything (u2 for instance) with the exception of the lk version, which is at -4. punish any mistake.
-her teleport-dash-counter (wtf is it called) needs to be anticipated, in particular if she comes closer and you throw rocks or on wakeup. if she ports towards you simply use any normal into combo, or c.hk etc. if she ports above you on wakeup use b.mp to stuff her. you can also mix things up and throw her instead or use a focus breaking move.
-she’s a beast in the corner. keep your buttons still to avoid getting counter hit by stored fuhajin’s.
-always use j.lp in a2a situations. she can translate any j.mp into very high damage.
-anti air her dive kicks (fake rocks etc) with hk ruffian or s.hk. even in trade situations it’s in your favor.
Lk pinwheel is actually -7 or -8 on block if you are crouching (last hit whiff or some shit like that).
Melovegames :
- Also, you can beat her dive kicks with st.HP. But you have to be careful with that since she can adjust and delay it, hitting you on the recovery frames.
- Lp rocks can sometimes beat the dive too, but you have to know you’re distances.At any rate, use rocks very sparingly, she can beat them on reaction (even fake rock).
- NEVER wake up sand: Juri players have setups that naturally counter that option, except if they hit you with pinwheel and activate FSE. In that case, they have two setups: 1) they can dash forward and meaty you. In that case you Bad Spray is good option. 2) They can jump at you and in that case you need to jump back lp. You can also just block.
- As Zuuku said, in the corner, don’t you be pressing any buttons son. Keep an Ex zonk charged though, it can help.
- Her chara grab is really good but you should be fine if you late tech (unless, obviously, the Juri player starts delaying his frame traps).
- There’s an unblockable on her after forward thow, so learn that.
- Last thing I can think of, this is a footsie battle until you get her on the ground. She has a terrible wakeup game and Ex Zonk beats every single option she has (except block haha). Stay at a range where she can’t hit you with cr.MK and use Crack Kick super carefully: she beats it clean with cr. MP.
Why does the match up guide say that Cody vs Ryu is in codys advantage at the beginning of the match?
So, there’s this blanka player I constantly face online, he’s pretty legit, like won’t hop everywhere like that’s a good tactic, or will actually block on wakeup and not mash electricity between stuff. He has a solid ground game using blanka’s uber buttons, will always AA you, kara throw, link ultra from hit confirms, etc.
I used to beat him pretty consistently, until he started empty jumping from far away into sweep. I then realized that Cody’s b.mp spoiled the crap out of me and I just mash that whenever I see a jump and the main reason it works is because people extend their hurtboxes with a jumping attack. But once this dude started mixing empty jumps, I realized how terrible my AA spacing is, because b.mp would just wiff and he’d sweep punish me.
So now I’m having trouble aa Blanka, and I imagine I’d have the same issues if people started empty jumping. Blanka’s jump arc is ridiculously good, so I honestly can’t hk ruffian on reaction everytime. I’ve been using far hp when I recognize he’s out of the range b.mp connects, but if doesn’t empty jump, his normal usually either beats or trades with mine. So does anyone have any tips on how to best deal with this? Anyone ever had a similar issue?
in the worst case just block and have patience. I find blanka’s up close options not THAT strong, so I’d just wait till the momentum resets due to spacing and would start from there again. and yes, I hate his jump arc AND wonky hurtbox, too.
Right guys. I don’t know if you already know, but you can cross over Claw if you FADC a blocked Ex Zonk in the corner. I’ve never heard of that glitch so I was wondering if this was a well known thing. If it is, does it work on any other character?

There you go.

interesting. considering it costs 3 bars, prolly works only against vega, you need to be in the corner and he has to block it’s rather situational tho. never stumbled across anything like that, might only work vs vega. good to know tho.
Yeah, I like to go for ex zonks on people’s wakeups to beat almost everything but block haha. If he doesn’t block I can just go for mkRK or Ex CU.
Just to let you know that Ex Rocks now connects on Sagat after connecting a level 3 focus.
it was in the offical patchnotes (that I also posted). seems they have noticed my thread on unity.
fa3, ex rocks, cl.hp, cr.hp doesn’t work though.
I also couldn’t link u2 after the cl.hp, even though it looks like it hits meaty.
Regular Bingo is very good against shoto character, but It becomes more difficult to play mid/short range game, when I’m holding hp.bingo. Is it necessary to charge bingo always in that match-ups or charge it only at far/mid game, fireball spam and may be life leed situations?
So over the past few days I’ve been getting back into the game after about a 6-month break…and I’ve totally forgotten how to play the Fei Long matchup. I’ve come across a few random Feis in ranked, and pretty much all of them that knew what they were doing completely destroyed me. It probably doesn’t help that I never had much experience against him in the first place. I just feel kinda lost in that matchup, anyone have any pointers?
There is fun stuff in the corner after ex.slide, dash, dash, j.hp. So, against who does it work?
I need to know everything against bison…go! Been gettin blown up by almost every bison i face no matter what rank or whatever.
