TO-DO

Knockdown Advantage: all scenarios assume that opponent will Back Rise midscreen when possible, unless otherwise stated

Knockdown	KD Adv.	Oki/Notes
Forward Throw	+30	Walk for a manually timed throw loop that also allows shimmy Forward Dash leaves Blanka +11; can auto-time some meaty normals and still walk back out of opponent's reversal throw tech (except vs. Zangief) 6KKK Hop leaves Blanka +3 for an auto-timed strike/throw mixup, but cannot walk back out of throw range to bait reversal Also allows a meaty strike vs. midscreen Back Rise (but no throw oki)
Back Throw	+27	After throwing opponent into corner, Blanka can dash to become +8 and manually time a strike/throw mixup
Air Throw	+22	Too far for throw oki, but can Drive Rush and use the momentum for a tick throw
Drive Impact (No Crumple)	+35	?
Drive Reversal	+23	?
2HK	HKD +25 HKD +46 (CH/PC) +? (Juggle)	?
3HP	+29~38 HKD +29~38 (PC)	?
SA1 - 236236P (Shout of Earth)	+15	?
SA3 - 236236K (Ground Shave Cannonball)	HKD +50	?
CA - 236236K (Ground Shave Cannonball)	HKD +14	?

Drive Rush

When canceling a normal into Drive Rush on block and following it up with another normal, there may be an interruptible gap in the blockstring. The following table lists these blockstring gaps when performed at the fastest possible timing.

Gap Value	Meaning
0	True Blockstring (no gap) if input with fastest button timing; can still lose to Drive Reversal
1 to 4	Small blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt with an invincible reversal; a 4f gap can trade with 4f normal attack
5+	Large blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt without an invincible attack
