Hibiki does very good against Blanka w/out low jump
Yeah he had to triple JD and KKK hop just to escape the guard crush. Any other Groove Blanka could have easily dealt with it, and if all else failed you could AC the final hurricane kick hit because she’s no longer invincible and there’s no fear of retaliation afterward (because we all know how shitty Blanka’s AC is). I think Tokido linked the jab at the end so the there were actually no holes. Top tier
wtf… You can’t just jump to Blanka and expect to attack with dive kicks. Sakura has like 10 frame startup where she just floats there in the air not doing anything before the attack comes out. Blanka jump up HP and especially jump forward pimp smack eats her up.
Popo (I’d call you Popes, but that sounds too much like Pokes :lol: ):
Whiff s.LP, RC electricity takes a real long time to come out too. If you try to do that with Blanka, then Sakura doing that attack with dive kicks silliness will actually work… :bluu:
If Sakura knocks you down, and you try to reversal RC electricity, Sakura will beat you out too. The dive kick hits really meaty. Your RC will lose because of that one vulnerable get up frame nobody knows about…
Blanka versus Sakura isn’t that bad. Just run away when she has her meter that’s all. Attack her like crazy when she doesn’t have it. There’s a lot Blanka can do to avoid Sakura activating. When I play Sakura, I make sure to link all my CC activations from something guaranteed (so Blanka can’t escape for sure). It’s the only time I’ll activate when I have Sak vs. Blanka. I use jump in attack (blocked or hit), CC and d.LP (blocked or hit), CC, d.MK link a lot.

i c, i was just playing theory fighter anyway. good to know though. what can blanka do if sakura wants to do a meaty divekick on your wakeup and then activate into CC? is there anything blanka can do?
Two things Blanka can do:
-
Reversal level 2 or level 3 super.
-
SURRENDER
Usually you will be using option 2)
This is kind of interesting…since blanka can’t do jack about the cc, when they activate, should i just let them hit me? In K-Groove, if i block, i get no rage bar and guard crushed for the just about the same amount of damage from the cc, where as if i let them hit me, i at least get raged.
Oh, and if you’re in RC grooves, you can RC your way out of it with wake-up RC ball, electricity and possibily back hop. Basically you can’t let them land the meaty dive kick (hit or blocked).

I’ve found my vice during a distance tatic is good. Not “owning” but I have taken a few blanka’s out.
Um im trying my guile out to defeat him. Cammy does some good shyt too. Arturon down in NC destroyed a blanka with Eagle which looked pretty nice
**
never thought of vice before. i remember how ino’s K-blanka countered daigo’s C-guile pretty hard in one of the matches in the evo finals. i believe ino’s k-blanka still had like half life left for cammy. even though that’s obviously an extreme example, it’s probably the best C-guile playing the best K-blanka, so it shows the matchup in its purest form. but i don’t remember too much about the actual fight because it was over 2 months ago. i just remember ino JD’ing sonic booms, using standing hk to counter guile’s crouching mp, and short jump fierce for AA.
yea, cammy is pretty good against blanka as long as she can fight against RC electricity well.
and eagle is pretty much a counter matchup for blanka. it’s obviously open for debate, but the fight boils down to eagle fighting him at close range with crouching mk, punishing baited blanka crouching fp’s with eagle’s standing fp, and AA’ing with crouching fierce/standing mp depending on the distance and attack from blanka. he can punish RC balls and mp counter RC electricity too.
to me the best character to beat the crap out of Blanka will be Vega anything he does just c.hp
when he does that blanka ball block then c.hp and they try to jump HK or MK just c.hp and this is gonna kill’em and they’ll try to walk to you and c.hk just roll and do that rolling attack or SLAM his ass [o how i heat blanka users] for all of this you do need the claws
they may call this cheap and it is very cheap but I only do it when they pick blanka and if I don’t do it I can kiss my ass good bye or who knows my terry be kicking ass to
I once remember to that blanka did that blanka ball at me at I did that lvl.3 super with the Claw and cought him and killed him right there. I destroyed his ego with that one, since he quit on me right there :lol: 
:lol: hey wait that ain’t funny :mad:
good shit. man, that’s cheap.
YEA my style is Flames
oh one more thing if you see him just walking to you he’s gonna try to bite the living hell out of you so just do that backflip kick he does
Eagle kills Blanka, so does Hibiki, he can compete with anyone else.
i get how eagle can beat blanka by doin does counters and the circle thing
but hibiki? I think she sucks (no offense just MO)
rock can also beat this character but you’ll need c groove or even better ex with c-groove and super combo cancel when they do a ball or jump at you do a lvl2 qcfx2 + k and the end d, u + p and if he in the wall finish it with a raging storm
…of course!
Actually Eagle beats blanka because he has superior pokes…
actualy blanka can do that c.hp or s.hk to beat his pokes
I’m just going to interject. The only thing that can save Blanka from Eagle is good RCing or a parry. But in the majority of all cases, Eagle can beast all over that beast. It is so easy to rushdown even good blankas with Eagle. Eagle vs. Blanka is a joke. Sure, Blanka can win, but I say the match is 7-3 in Eagle’s favor.
On a side note, I believe that RCing can only be a winning factor in Japanese style playing. Side by side, you can hear buttons during a dash or wake up and toss 'em around. Still, RCing is effective especially on wake-up. Then Eagle has to eat the damage, waste a meter on countering, or RC RH flying thingy(like I care what the stupid names of moves are. HCB+K) for a clean escape while they’re electricuting.
I fully believe that RCing is the only way for Blanka to truly compete in this match.
But I suppose it takes more to learn Eagle than Blanka so…the learning curve may be in Blanka’s favor a tad. Still, both ranging and poking and rushdown are effective against Blanka in all grooves.
Just my old fogey opinion.
Apoc.
in rush down i believe he’ll beat him but how they gonna get away from the blanka ball?
anyway Forget what I sead About using Vega to beat this green mother fucker
use rugal I mean its now even funny when they use blanka ball use that running move that he slams you in the wall (HCB + P) and end it with a super (you don’t need super combo cancel to do this) when i 1st this this i was suprise that i cought his ass with this after that is was over for them
lil strat.
throw a crisom wave (f + hcf + P) they’ll block it or roll and if don’t even better and don’t worry blanka can’t jump high enough to jump this projectile. anyway they’ll do a blanka ball cuase they stupid like that 
and right there do that running move.
ok now after awhile they will change strategy so all you need to do is do stuff that will make them do a blanka ball
I remember once i use to throw a lp and they’ll do the blanka ball is probally just there instincts
and if they do the ball super you can still catch them with it if you catch them after the invisibility framesand if they do a lvl1 super SLAM his ass for me please
I dont even know if you are being serious or not.
you don’t believe me try it out and if you can’t “come and get me”(cyclops qoute 
I love him ) i’m online almost everyday whats your gametag
and use blanka
