IE downback to downforward. then move it back to like downback if you want to keep a block just in case, once you recover from the ball go from downback to up whatever

I've never been able to do this, but I don't play Blanka, so meh. Would probably help with other charge characters though.

picked this up when it was free for gold a month or so ago, and I've definitely wanted to get into it after watching some evo. Any resources for a n00b?

cool. ill check that out. also I'm realizing now that I don't have the "ultra" version. how important is it that I upgrade? will that make it easier to find a game?
Anyone wanna play on 360? It's been a little while since I've played
Kunais and knives aren't projectiles. Thats why they get beat out by other projectiles and normals.

On another note from the FGW thread posted by sixteen-bit:
Louffy is a fraudulent champ, since he didn't fight Ixion(Dan), Kappa.
And Blanka gets hit by them, because his hurt box is actually in front of his hitbox I think. That's why jabs can be used to stuff random blanka balls.

Forget poison as an alt, all about Hakan now. He is so much damn fun to use, plus that amazing focus, I love him.

The less Poison's the better. Don't need her secret getting out like Rose.

Oh I like the character, she's got some good stuff, its just Hakan is so much more fun to me. I feel kinda dumb for sleeping on him this long. Rose army is in full effect, luckily that matchup is in Blankas favor.
Edit: Whoa, that sweep shit is crazy, why would that work?
Edit 2: Nevermind, I didn't count the focus, can't count I guess.
you're not the only one... i'm just gonna get an xbox 360 already....

I don't believe they're technically projectiles. More like flying normals.
It doesn't combo; you see the indicator on the right say the combo finished. Karts must not have been blocking or something.

I think momochi should have played his Ken instead of Juri...Many Kens feel like the match is in rose favor, but once you learn her normals it's probably a 5.5-4.5 match at worse...I'll be back on soon to take a dig at the Rose army...and see how high I can get my PP
Made a pact with myself to only play for no more than 2 hours a night or less, no matter if I'm on a win streak or not...have to limit this darn game...so additive when you get hot.

No combo. Though if you want a hard knockdown after ex rekkas then you can just do HP rekka.

Sure; I asked if anyone wanted to play a page or two back and got no responses. What happened to PSN SF GAF?

I could play, but since I'm EU it might be really too laggy if you're West Coast.
Alright, I'll be on in a bit.Sure; I asked if anyone wanted to play a page or two back and got no responses. What happened to PSN SF GAF?
I'm East Coast.
I like the mixup you can get after the ex rekkas. I don't usually do sweeps after wards though, so I didn't know what it looked like.
cool, going to add you. Will play for about an hour.

First time playing against Ibuki as Blanka. I can't believe that overhead hits through lightning and your projectiles aren't "really" projectiles. Oi. Any advice on my play is greatly appreciated.

ggs. i think your tick throw setups are fine, but you're going for the sweep too much. try mixing it up.

I went around 50/50, I think. I didn't find her more annoying than Elena, who is the most irritating character for Blanka to fight that I have encountered thus far.
I normally don't sweep that much, but my j.MK kept whiffing on crouching Ibuki and I took a lot of damage. I tend to fall back to safe stuff if I get confused by a new POS hitbox decision by Capcom.
This was also the first time I did cross-up Blanka balls on oki. Wow those are good. I went into training mode right after our matches to work on the timing more.

I've literally tried every character against her and my best matchups are T.Hawk, Bison and, surprisingly, Sagat. Rufus is supposedly a bad matchup for her and he's one of my strongest characters and I couldn't touch her with him.
I think the reason I'm so annoyed by her is that when she first came out I expected (well hoped) she would be garbage because I hated fighting her in 3S. Easily the most annoying character in that game as well, and my worst matchup. There's just rarely ever been a time where I've had to deal with the same character being a pain in the ass in a new iteration of the series. Blanka and Bison were hell for me in SF2, but holy shit did they suck in Alpha. I hated Akuma, Dhalsim, and Zangief in Alpha, but they were all quite mediocre in CvS2. Chun was the bane of my existence in CvS2 (that cr.mp!!!)........and she still was in 3rd Strike (that cr.mk!!!).......but yeah, I think that's the only time it happened.
I just really didn't think they would have most of Ibuki's specials cause hard knockdown. But they do....and it sucks.
GODDAMMIT!!

Who do you play?
ggs, guys.
Got rekt by lyte edge. The lag was certainly there, couldn't even block chun-li's overhead in time. Sorry if it was too much!.
Anyway I think when using Poison's HP projectile, buffering the rekkas or U1 wouldn't be too bad of an idea for reacting to an anti-air hit.

The lag was pretty bad when we started playing but things got much better by the end of the session.

I'll take partial credit for this from when I perfected that guy with Dan in the lobby we were in.
