Blanka is one of the most underused characters in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Some would even say he gets a bad rep as one of the worst characters in the game. However, Blanka is not without his share of combos, cross-overs, tricks, ticks, and tactics that can get you lots of wins, even in a competitive tournament situation. Blanka has one of the best throws in the game, one of the fastest special moves in the game, and some of the best links leading into dizzies.


The drawback of all this, is that Blanka has a lot of bad matchups. Although at first you will undoubtedly get some wins, after someone plays you a few times, they will get used to your gimmicks and start to find ways around them. There are several characters in ST that straight-up counter most of the things that Blanka can use effectively, if they know it's coming. However, except at the very highest competitive levels of play, you will probably not ever run into someone who knows how to stop some of the tactics I will list below.


Please keep in mind, I will be adding to the work of R3ko, RWD and Crayfish, who have already laid out the groundwork for this guide. I'll be adding my own personal strategies and the combos/links I've found most effective in competitive play.

'''Air Attacks and Anti-airs'''

His jumping light kick is an excellent crossover, and has excellent priority, sometimes beating other fighter's jumping attacks. It is used primarily as Blanka's crossup move, and can be linked into several different strings of attacks.

Blanka's j.HK is a HUGE dropkick that has extremely good reach. Use this move to quickly jump over fireballs/projectiles and punish your opponents from a seemingly too far distance.

Jumping HP is an awsome high priority air attack. It is a downward-aiming swipe with both of Blanka's claws, that has strange hitbox priorities. Instead of just hitting ahead of Blanka like most other jumping moves, the jumping HP can be used to hit directly BELOW Blanka as well. This makes it an excellent tactic to use when you have your opponent in the corner, or if you are facing someone like Dhalsim, who's standing medium punch anti-air pretty much beats everything else you can dish out, including your crossup j.LK. The jumping HP, when used at the right angle/deepness, can either beat or trade most anti-air normals in the game, and is one of the reasons Blanka can actually dominate a match when given the right positioning.
</div>


Blanka has several anti-airs that can all be used in different situations:


-Vertical ball attack can be used in two situations. If your opponent is in front of you, use the HK version (which is VERY fast) to surprise them. Remember, there's no airblocking! If you are getting crossed up, the LK version of the vertical ball will stop or trade about 80% of the crossups in the game, which will definitely frustrate your opponents. However, if your opponent is deep enough with the crossup attack, the LK vertical ball will not work, and you will eat their attack.

-Standing HP can be used in some situations, most notably if an opponent is jumping in for a crossup but is not really deep enough to get it properly. Also, if you are ahead on life in the match, use standing HP to trade with most jump-in attacks. Remember, this is a HP so it will pretty much do the same, or more damage, than most of the jump-ins people use.
<span class="mw-customtoggle-clmp" style="color: cyan">'''Click to toggle detailed hitbox data.'''</span>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"  id="mw-customcollapsible-clmp">


-Electricity can also be used as an anti-air, but be wary of trying to use it too much. Unlike a lot of the other multiple button tap moves (like Honda's Hundred Hand Slap or Chun's lighting legs), it doesn't come out as consistently as you'd like. Use this move sparingly, and only if you have enough time to get the right amount of button taps out to activate the electricity in time.

-Jump straight up HP is an EXCELLENT anti-air for anybody jumping at you. It is a quick, upwards smack with Blanka's palm, that most people have now begun to call "the pimp slap" because it looks exactly like a huge palm slap. Use this move to surprise jumping attackers, and also to hit people who are almost directly above you, going for crossups - it is surprisingly fast.
</div>


-Standing medium punch is a standing claw swipe downwards. VERY fast, and this move can actually neutralize a lot of jumping attacks completely. Use this in certain matchups to give Blanka the complete advantage - especially against Zangief.

-Crouching FP has excellent range, but average damage. It can surprise an opponent who isn't expecting Blanka to have that kind of reach with his attacks. You can also use it for spacing: if your opponent is close enough to block the punch, you know you will be able to do a jab Blanka Ball and it will stop JUST in front of them - this leads into one of Blanka's best tactics, but we'll get to that later.

-Down-toward+FP "The Slide" - this move is GREAT in certain situations, for example against anybody with a fireball. If you are in range to hit with the slide, and your opponent is about to throw a fireball, your slide will completely cancel out their fireball animation and trip them. Also, the slide goes COMPLETELY underneath Guile's sonic booms, pretty much rendering them useless against Blanka. And let's face it, Guile throws a LOT of sonic booms. The downfall of the slide is that it is pretty slow, and if blocked, you can be left wide open. Also, the slide can be used as an anti-air in certain situations, but if you do not hit with it you will pretty much be screwed.

Blanka’s ball if great for closing the gap, you can even roll up and throw
and from certain ranges, using LP and MP balls.

DSP EDIT: Here's a few miscellaneous things from me:
</div>
-Blanka's jab ball is GREAT for spacing and advancing. It's quick, it's safe as long as it's not close enough to be blocked (in the respect that if your opponent tries to do something, they will probably trade with a special move and lose the trade), and it leads into a lot of throw/footsie setups.


-Blanka has a ridiculously damaging throw. Use it at every opportunity.

}}


-Blanka's HP ball is RIDICULOUSLY fast. You can use it as a counter-hit move in a surprising amount of situations, most notably when somebody is trying to walk up and sweep you, or sometimes even right at the start of the match (it will hit if the opponent does anything BUT just block).
<span class="mw-customtoggle-frmk" style="color: cyan">'''Click to toggle detailed hitbox data.'''</span>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"  id="mw-customcollapsible-frmk">


-Jumping LK will beat most advancing moves, including the sumo headbutt, leg scissors, etc. However, it will sometimes randomly trade with the flaming torpedo (And you will definitely be the loser in that trade).

This is obvious, backwards beast leap charges meter retardedly fast,
</div>
unfortunatly, Blanka probably has one of the worst supers in the game, or at
least it's tied with Honda's "random hits of doom" but, just like Honda's,
it does have a some uses.


Super is a great anti-air move in certain situations, huge damage, almost totaly
===Crouching Normals===
invunerable, can change direction for crossovers and landing it as an anti-air is
also the only way to guarantee safety after the fact and secure all 5 hits.
Peform the motion and hold down the button, so that you contact the opponent on the
height of the vertical motion of the ball (this juggles the opponent higher and gives
you more time to guage thier falling trajectory), then release so that you
roll under their falling body JUST before they hit the ground. This will
secure maximum hits and damage.


The super, however, is not a great way to chip anyone. If blocked, you are left wide open afterwards. However, if your opponent is pretty low on life, they will probably try to jump or dodge around the super...which will usually turn out badly, since it beats most jumping attacks!


The super DOES NOT roll under projectiles as previously stated. The super is only invulnerable on startup (while you are in the upward-vertical motion). As soon as you land from this, you will start spinning in place, and you will become vulnerable. If you release at this point, you will beat out most normal attacks, except for maybe a quick crouching short or jab. However, most projectiles WILL hit you out of the super, so don't make a habit of being predictable and holding down the button forever.


Another odd little trick about the super is on knockdown near the corner,  
==== <span class="invisible-header">crlp</span> ====
with proper timing this can be used as, I think at least, a crossover which
{{MoveData

combo videos. I say I think it is a crossover as (when done right) Blanka

The leap is a valuble tool which is often over looked, most people would
</div>
attribute it to only really setting up throw and combo setups (which will
explained in later sections.). The leap also makes Blanka a very nimble character, able to move back and forth across the screen more easily than most other characters, while building super meter the entire time.


Don't forget that there is little bit of invincibility at the start of the leap which will help you to avoid low attacks and even get out of SPDs since when you leap, you're off the ground. So if Zangief lands a meaty c.LK, you can leap backwards out of it making his SPD whiff. CHEAP!

}}


-You walk up to your opponent, do a blocked low medium kick, and buffer it into the leap. Your opponent has a SLIGHT frame advantage here - if they were expecting the leap, they can usually do a quick jab or short before the leap finishes, knocking you away. But if you don't use this too much, and they're not expecting it, you have several options. Primarily you can throw them instantly after the leap ends, for MASSIVE damage. Or, you can go for another crouching MK, possibly comboed into another one, or a Blanka ball. The safest option is the kick, but chances are you will probably be successful with the throw if they weren't expecting the leap.
<span class="mw-customtoggle-crhp" style="color: cyan">'''Click to toggle detailed hitbox data.'''</span>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"  id="mw-customcollapsible-crhp">


-Another great opportunity for the leap is during a blocked crossup string. Let's say, for example, you cross up the opponent with j.LK, standing MP, crouching MK. Since they blocked the string, you're probably stuck. Not so! Buffer a leap off of that crouching MK and then either throw or do another crouching MK. For variety, the next time you face a blocked crossup string, buffer the leap off of the MP instead of doing the crouching MK. By not doing the same leap tactics over and over, you can mix it up and surprise your opponent for big damage.

'''When Downed'''


I have to disagree with what it said here previously, Blanka CAN be crossed up once he is downed. However, his LK vertical ball makes it VERY difficult for your opponents to do so, and will probably frustrate the hell out of them. The only time Blanka can be crossed up is if the crossup attack is VERY DEEP into your body - so deep that the attack would interrupt your attempt to do the ball. In this case, you WILL eat whatever combo they were planning, so if your opponent is attempting a really deep crossup, you are better off just blocking.


Don't attempt a reversal horizontal ball against normal jump-ins. You'd be surprised how many
===== <span class="invisible-header">crlk</span> =====
attacks will beat it clean which sort of defeats the whole point of a
{{MoveData
reversal really. However, if you only use the vertical ball every once in a while, it will usually hit. Also, the vertical ball is a GREAT strategy against Vega's wall-jumps.

'''Using Blanka Balls with Caution'''
</div>


Using Blanka’s horizontal ball is extremely risky against certain
characters. If blocked, the following characters can punish you. Warning:
some can even punish you when you hit as well (Ryu, for example, can hit you with a FP fireball!). Only use the horizontal ball in two instances: When you know it will hit (in a combo), when you THINK it will hit (as a wake-up counterhit), or when you're just trying to advance and you know you're far away enough that the ball won't be blocked.


Here is a list of attacks that can hit you AFTER your opponent blocks a Blanka Ball:

Once you land throw you can do the following:

of those things that works because Blanka is so fast, even if you only get a
second set of bites, damage is damage. BE CAREFUL, depending on where you are and where your opponent lands, you want to be sure that your j.LK is MEATY and the opponent does not have an opportunity to use a Shoryuken or other anti-air.

against characters which don’t have reversals.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"  id="mw-customcollapsible-njhp">


DSP EDIT: One of the most effective strategies, I have found, is what to do AFTER a successful throw. Basically, if you finish the bite, you land before your opponent does. When your opponent is landing, try to do a meaty crouching FP. Depending on where you were when you landed (in the corner, midscreen, etc) the FP will either whiff, or they will block it. If it whiffs, oh well, you were too far away to do the setup so just chill out. If they block it but their body does not move at all, you are probably too close to do the throw setup I am about to explain. BUT, in about 50% of the time, the opponent will be pushed just slightly back from the blocked crouching FP. THAT is your opportunity: immediately do a jab horizontal ball when you recover from the FP. It will advance you forward JUST ENOUGH to land perfectly in front of your opponent WITHOUT having them block the ball. They will undoubtedly try to block the ball, because they fear eating it, and this leaves them WIDE OPEN for you to land in front of them and get a second bite! CONGRATULATIONS, you've just done about 50% damage in only 2 moves! In addition, after the second throw you can try to do the same thing again, or you can walk forward and try to buffer into leap setups, or you can try to crossup. It's your ballgame.

If you try to use jab balls for spacing, and Rog eats the ball, HE CAN STILL DO STAND FP AND HIT YOU!
</div>


The only low attacks Blanka can really use against Rog are c.MK and c.FP. Using a lot of c.MKs to interrupt Rog's dashes can be a good strategy, until he catches on and stops dashing, and instead uses his super-fast crouching FK. It not only beats your c.MK at many ranges, but does massive damage as well.

|description= Blanka launches himself horizontally at his opponent.
*The strength of the punch button determines the damage and speed of the ball. The Fierce ball also has a lot more active frames than the other versions.
*On block or hit, Blanka will go into a very lengthy recoil animation that many characters can punish. The whiff has a hitbox that lasts 40 frames, but it's impossible to hit with it.
*Starts up instantly, but is not invincible. This will beat ground throws and command grabs, however.
*Since the priority is poor, most characters can jab you out of this move.


Jumping on Rog? Not likely. He's extremely hard to cross up since his headbutt hits backwards, plus he has TWO anti-air normals that hit you pretty high in the air: stand MP and crouching FP.
'''Rolling Attack Block/Hit Punishes'''


In the end, Rog ends up neutralizing most of your game. You can't ever jump as long as Rog has charge, and even when he doesn't, he still might knock you out of the air with normals. You really can't ever use balls to advance due to the high risk, and your normals are also greatly limited. Rog-Blanka matches can literally turn into Blanka spamming c.MK since it is one of the few moves he can do safely, and even then, Rog comes out on top.
*Ryu - Fierce Fireball
*Ken - Safe
*Honda - Fierce Headbutt
*Chun - Super
*Blanka - Fierce Ball
*Zangief - Safe
*Guile - Safe
*Dhalsim - St.HP
*T.Hawk - Safe

Remember, you're hard to cross up because of your wakeup LK vertical ball, but if Blanka is crossing you up deep enough with his jumping LK your ball will get snuffed, so be careful.
</div>


The name of the game here is wait for your opponent to make mistakes....wait for him to do a ball, block, and retaliate. Wait for him to start jumping stupidly, and whack him out of the air. Most importantly, DON'T PLAY SLOPPY! For some reason, a lot of people play sloppy in mirror-matches and end up choking....just be patient and you will win the match.

This is actually a tough match for Blanka, and was considered one of the original "counters" for Blanka in ST.
</div>


Why? Because the Cannon Spike (or Thrust Kick, whatever you want to call it depending on the version of ST you're playing) beats, oh, about 99% of the jump attacks you'll throw at her. She can also hit you after a blocked ball (walk forward stand RH or crouch RH) and her Cannon Drill is unpunishable if she does it at a certain range, even if you block.

|description= Blanka flips back and jumps forward, rolling on his way down.
*The first 3 hitboxes deal less damage than the last rolling part. If you somehow hit with them, they'll combo into each other. This is extremely difficult unless you're point blank range on a big character.
*Impractical due to the ungodly startup, slow active part, and terrible recovery.

The name of the game here is BE CAREFUL. Be sure you don't accidentally let her block a Blanka ball. If you can knock her down, stay on top of her with the crossup LK and keep attacking. Your best bet is to be very patient, and then when you get that random throw, or knockdown, to keep attacking until she's done.

== Vs. Vega (claw): ==
Blanka jumps up in an invincible state, falls down with a hitbox, then rolls forward until he hits a wall.
*If you hold the Punch button down, you can continue to charge up the roll for up to 90 frames. This won't increase the damage.
*If you release the roll after your opponent has jumped over you, it will autocorrect to face them.
*While this move does great damage, it will rarely connect due to the slowness of the hop, giving your opponent plenty of time to block. It's not safe on block either, even if it does chip for 4 hits.


== Vs. Zangief: ==
'''General Strategies'''


== Vs. O. Balrog (boxer): ==
*If your opponent tries to jump above this, you can usually counter with a Vertical Roll after you recover.
*This can be used as an anti-air with good timing. If you hit them out of the air with the hop, you can hold the punch button briefly and juggle them just before they land.

Blanka is the only character in the game that doesn't have the same prejump speed on all 3 forms of jumps. On his Neutral and Back Jumps, the prejump takes 4f to finish, which is considered slow. On his Forward Jump, it takes one frame less, so it's of average speed. With all that said, Blanka has the second quickest overall jump duration on the game (losing only to Claw's, draws with O.Sagat's).<br>

Story

Date of Birth: 2/12/1966
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 218 lbs
Measurements: B 77", W 47", H 67"
Blood Type: B
Likes: Arapaima, tropical fruits
Dislikes: Army ants, people who wear masks.

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jimmy. Now Jimmy loved his mom, but unfortunately for the both of them they would be separated in a freak plane crash when Jimmy was young. Standed out in the Brazilian jungle, he was forced to eat plants to survive, and kill tigers to survive. His nails grew sharp and unkempt. His teeth grew long and gnarly. The chlorophyll in the plants he was eating turned his skin green, and his hair turned a bright orange. He also gained the ability to generate electricity from his body. The boy named Jimmy disappeared, and in his place rose the mighty Blanka.

Blanka would eventually find his way to a nearby fishing village, where he rejoined society and found a hobby in street fighting. His success led him to the World Warrior tournament, where he hopes to further advance his career.


Overview

Blanka is often considered one of the most underused characters in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. While some say he's among the worst characters in the game, Blanka does have his share of combos, crossovers, ticks, tricks, and tactics that can lead you to victory. He also has one of the best throws in the game, one of the fastest special moves in the game, and some of the best links, leading into dizzies.

Unfortunately, Blanka also comes with a lot of bad matchups. While you'll likely rack up wins against those unfamiliar with the matchup, as soon as they get used to your tricks they'll find ways around them. It doesn't help that some characters straight up counter most of the things Blanka can do effectively. This won't be much of a problem unless you're at a very high level of play, however.


Strengths Weaknesses
  • Great in the Air: Blanka has some pretty good air normals, including a great crossup.
  • Far Reaching: Many of Blanka's moves have long hitboxes, including his throw.
  • Instant Attacks: Rolling Attack and Vertical Roll have no startup.
  • Combos Aplenty: Blanka's moves have high combo potential.
  • Meter Man: Blanka can very quickly and safely build up Super meter.
  • Flat on the Ground: Blanka has the lowest crouch height in the game, allowing him to duck under some attacks.
  • Quick on the Fly: Blanka has a fast falling speed, which is useful for punishing fireballs or moves with long recovery.
  • Slow Walking Speed
  • Wide: His hurtbox while standing or crouching is quite wide, making him easy to catch and making it hard to neutral jump over fireballs.
  • Can't Get In: Playing Blanka means you'll have to work hard to get in, and even so you'll often lack the tools to damage once you do.
  • Not Very Useful Super: His Super Combo has an incredibly slow startup, making it terrible in most situations.
  • Can't Find a Good Match: Blanka's poorly defined kit leads to a lot of one-sided matchups.
  • Low Priority Attacks: Despite Blanka's wide reach, many of his attacks end up having poor recovery and/or bad priority.


New & Old Versions Comparison

To select Old Blanka, choose Blanka and then press → ← ← ← Jab/Fierce, pressing Short simultaneously with the punch button for the alternate color.

Here is the list of differences:

  • System Changes: O.Blanka cannot tech throws or use his Super Combo;
  • Old Blanka cannot use his 3HP slide or his Surprise hops;
  • O.Blanka has some differences in some of his normals:
    • Close Standing Jab cannot be special canceled;
    • Far Standing Jab cannot be special canceled;
    • Crouching Short cannot be special canceled;
    • Crouching Forward cannot be special canceled;
    • Diagonal Jumping Short has outstanding air to ground priority (can beat N.Shoto Shoryukens with the right timing) but does not has crossup properties (all in all a huge loss);
    • Diagonal Jumping Roundhouse hits slightly higher and can connect back to his thighs, but has less range and priority at his feet (which makes it worse overall);
  • O.Blanka's electric attacks have no recovery while for N.Blanka they have a recovery animation, the only significant nerf that N.Blanka received;
  • O.Blanka's Both Horizontal and Vertical Beast Rolls have a 50% of chance of being unblockable if it hits on the first frame;
  • O.Blanka's Vertical Beast Rolls have a different arc and recovery animation: it tends to go more vertically and then pull horizontally back, whereas N.Blanka's travels farther horizontally and then drops straight down. It may be more safe but it is worse as a projectile avoiding tool, though on rare occasions it's useful to bait some attacks;

O.Blanka is a waste of time; he loses so much for a different vertical roll, a better lightning attack, and a different dj.Short that may have its uses, but without having a cross-up a lot of match-ups which are already hard become almost impossible.

  • You can link several moves after this due to the great recovery, but you can't charge for specials since that will give you a command Headbutt.

A two handed upwards claw swipe.

  • Can be used as an anti-air and anti cross-up from up close.
  • You can also use this as a meaty for massive frame advantage, or for setting up frame traps. Otherwise, this move is pretty unsafe.

Blanka's hold, where he jumps on his opponent and starts biting their face.

  • One of Blanka's major threats, since he doesn't have an overhead or a reliable way to deal chip damage.
  • Has the second best normal throw range in the game.
  • You can find lots of opportunities to start biting with your ground trickery and crossups.
  • Since you can only use this hold with HP, you can't piano this throw. In addition, mashing this throw might result in an Electric attack, which has long startup.

Blanka launches himself horizontally at his opponent.

  • The strength of the punch button determines the damage and speed of the ball. The Fierce ball also has a lot more active frames than the other versions.
  • On block or hit, Blanka will go into a very lengthy recoil animation that many characters can punish. The whiff has a hitbox that lasts 40 frames, but it's impossible to hit with it.
  • Starts up instantly, but is not invincible. This will beat ground throws and command grabs, however.
  • Since the priority is poor, most characters can jab you out of this move.

Blanka flips back and jumps forward, rolling on his way down.

  • The first 3 hitboxes deal less damage than the last rolling part. If you somehow hit with them, they'll combo into each other. This is extremely difficult unless you're point blank range on a big character.
  • Impractical due to the ungodly startup, slow active part, and terrible recovery.

Blanka jumps forward. The hop lasts for about 18 frames before an 8 frame landing animation.
  • Gives you 5 points of meter.
  • Allows you to pass through opponents.
  • Use this sparingly, mostly as a mixup tool. Experienced players can react and punish.

Invincible on frames 1~14.

Blanka jumps up in an invincible state, falls down with a hitbox, then rolls forward until he hits a wall.

  • If you hold the Punch button down, you can continue to charge up the roll for up to 90 frames. This won't increase the damage.
  • If you release the roll after your opponent has jumped over you, it will autocorrect to face them.
  • While this move does great damage, it will rarely connect due to the slowness of the hop, giving your opponent plenty of time to block. It's not safe on block either, even if it does chip for 4 hits.

General Strategies

  • If your opponent tries to jump above this, you can usually counter with a Vertical Roll after you recover.
  • This can be used as an anti-air with good timing. If you hit them out of the air with the hop, you can hold the punch button briefly and juggle them just before they land.

Blanka is the only character in the game that doesn't have the same prejump speed on all 3 forms of jumps. On his Neutral and Back Jumps, the prejump takes 4f to finish, which is considered slow. On his Forward Jump, it takes one frame less, so it's of average speed. With all that said, Blanka has the second quickest overall jump duration on the game (losing only to Claw's, draws with O.Sagat's).

The landing recovery has a special property which allows it to be canceled into certain actions. At the first landing frame, you can perform throws (including command throws), and on the second landing frame, you can start another jump, attack with a normal or special move, or block. Blocking not being until the second landing frame, as well as hitbox-hurtbox interactions having priority over throwbox-throw hurtbox is why sweeps work as anti airs in this game.
Things are different when jumping over your opponent, however. In that situation it's possible to walk back/forward, to jump again or to even block on the first landing frame! Strangely, if a throw is timed on the first landing frame of a jump that crosses over, a throwbox will never come out, even though that input will result in a normal coming out 2 frames later (like it normally would). Anyway, being able to block on the first landing frame can help a little bit on some safe jump crossup setups, or maybe in other situations as well if your character has a huge jump arc.
