| {{clr|H|HP Blanka Ball}} has much slower startup than the other versions, but travels full screen and is much safer on block due to the high pushback.

The threat of HP Blanka Ball is what makes whiffed LP Ball so strong. The slow startup does make it a little easier to Perfect Parry or to interrupt with an anti-air invincible move, and makes it more likely for Blanka to run into a projectile before it can connect with the opponent.

| All versions on block have only 5 frames of landing recovery, much like the standard OD version. This makes the proper punish timing a bit more precise, as an early punish will put Blanka into a juggle state.

The HP version, meanwhile, recovers closer and is 6f worse on block; this makes it much more punishable if not canceled into Rolling Cannon.
