A lot of players lack the initiative to seek help nor use training mode to figure out how to cope with Blanka.
Go easy ves;)
I think the way one feels about the mirror match is a good measure of how well well u know ur characters weaknesses. A character expert never feels uncomfortable in the mirror, and the blank a mirror is quite straightforward because what yOu can and can’t do is clearly defined.
Never!, I learned to reaction better http://i.imgur.com/vpaEZ.png
Yeah I think this is really true. If you feel the Blanka mirror is random, or hard or something and you aren’t playing against very strong players, you simply don’t understand the mirror. The goals are simple.
Blanka isn’t cheap, he’s cheesy. Back in Vanilla, when I was a scrub, I hated the blanka match up so much because I couldn’t deal with the cheese.
I played Rog btw. Then one day I realized that jab stops all the cheese and now I eat blanka’s for breakfast.
Lol, I get like 22frame average on that test. My reactions are so slow it’s not funny 
Your execution is better than mine though, I guarantee it, haaha.
i took the test, i keep holding down the spacebar and it mashes out 4 fails after one godly reaction time. but my average is 21/22 :-(. i keep failing because of her weird hair sweep where it starts like her kick overhead. my reaction have always been crap, thats why i picked blanka. easy anti air.

Same! That hair sweep is cheap as.
The best was when someone called me a “stupid green monkey” but I do get hatemail daily for my blanka.
I HATE Blanka…but I’ll never call him cheap. He just has a great set of tools.
I find him extremely annoying, but cheap nahh
well, you do have to know how to react!
Blanka will be more cheap in 2012 ah ah ah
a good example why is blanka cheap in the eyes of non-blanka player 
some of the comments are pretty funny 
Tokido should hate Blanka too, he loses a lot against good Blankas.
He’s cheap because of the way he’s been designed to be used like you said he doesn’t really use normals purelyspecials and I’m sure every cunt on this page complains when a ken is rubbing shoryukens… The truth is he sucks because you have to play by his game you have to counter otherwise you take to much damage and he’s really really difficult to frame trap… Get him in the corner then we’re talking otherwise you just have to make good reads and punish him he is cheaper than allot of the cast…

as someone who mained blanka at a point, i’ll explain why people get annoyed. ofcourse everyone here is going to have a biased reply like "learn the match-up and ull be fine’ or ‘dont suck at this and you’ll be fine.’
as someone with a B+ (10,000+ rank with balrog, sagat, rose, ryu, ken, dhalsim) and a B in plenty other characters, i find blanka matchups by far the most annoying, hence why i google searched to learn tactics.
i pretty much start ALL matches against blanka dy doing a crouching lightpunch piano or whatever its called to avoid the Light Roll into grab nonsense…
His jump in’s are difficult to punish
no point throwing fireballs if he has more than 1 an ex-bar
his move where u hold back and then forward+kick has a pretty fucked up cross-up mechanic. It appears that it will land infront but it crosses up.
his slide has a lot of range.
overall, contrary to what people say, countering his roll isnt simple if you dont have atleast a bar
his forward+KKK cross up and then crouching Heavy Kick knockdown is difficult to predict … so a player can do that twice … and then just blanka roll u on the next wakeup
the blanka roll can cross-up upon wake and its extremely difficult to predict a normal hit or cross up
in addition to al these special crossup options, his jumping MK crosses up to, and it combos into until normals like a crouching HK
this is why i find it annoying. other characters who are very skilled, i can learn them out (like akuma jump back hadouken spammers, or zangief jump over dive + lariat spammers … well i only know how to fight the zangief spammers with shoto characters)
im trying to find ways to EFFECTIVELY beat blanka players, hence why im bumping this thread.
