Why is blanka cheap?

blanka vs blanka is a tough match. in my book it’s a 6:4… i know, it sounds odd but fighting blanka is no fun. well, it’s more fun than boxer or honda mirror :wink:
but the 6:4 match up is legit. if you know how to punish blanka with blanka it becomes such hard match. jumping is mostly a bad idea too.

still, blanka isn’t cheap… just annoying :wink:

If you don’t feel in control in the mirror you aren’t playing it well.

Mmm, probably cause of the abuse of online grabs.

Oh lordy the hop hop grabs.

THATS SOO CHEAP HES ALSO CHEAP BECAUSE HE HAS A COMMAND DASH THATS EASY AS FUCK TO THROW HIM OUT OF MY RYU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO HADOUKENS ALL DAY AND HE SHOULD HAVE 0 OPTIONS.

lol good for you.

Though I’m sure not every person starting out new to this game are as Knowledgeable/ or experienced as you. Derp.

reactions and knowledge don’t really have much to do with one another.

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.

I love the mirror.

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 :frowning:

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.

Blanka isn’t cheap, he’s just a faggot.

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
