Super Street Fighter IV AE/Blanka

Blanka

Stranded in the Brazilian rain forests when his plane went down, Jimmy was forced to survive alone in the jungles and that's how he became the beast known as Blanka. After finally deciding to see the world, he entered in the Street Fighting tournament and was thus reunited with his mother. He also managed to meet and befriend Dan Hibiki and, despite Blanka being the one who saved Dan's life, now Dan treats Blanka as his #1 pupil. Blanka doesn't mind as he feels happy to finally have a close friend in Dan.

In a nutshell

Blanka's gameplay definitely matches his exterior: it is oftentimes wild and unpredictable. Many Blanka players go for mix-ups and shenanigans using his myriad of ways to continually switch sides on the opponent, while other Blankas will play extremely defensive and try to time you out as often as possible. Definitely a character where your personality can come through, using Blanka means keeping your opponent on their toes all the time.

AE Changes

• Rock Crusher has less recovery.
• Beast Slide has less active frames, as a result the whole animation time is shorter. Also, his hittable box during the recovery of this move has been increased.
• His Forward Hop has more grounded frames of animation during start up, making him easier to grab out of it.
• The hittable box of his Beast Roll has been widened in size while rolling around, and the distance traveled after having it blocked has been altered.
  Medium Punch and Hard Punch distances were reduced.
• EX Backstep Ball forward distance has been reduced a little, so it's harder to escape from the corner.
• EX Electricity has much faster start up now.
