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.

The Basics
Blanka is often categorized as a gimmick character or a turtle character, however that really isn't the case. He does have solid defensive options and a wide variety of unsafe gimmicks, but they are only part of the equation. In actuality Blanka is a footsie character who has a balanced array of offensive and defensive options.
Strengths
- Very fast jump with a great attacking arc
- Great anti-fireball game with slide, coward's crouch, ex horizontal ball, and U2
- Great anti-air options
- Good footsie normals
- Lots of + frames on blocked electricity
- 4 frame U1 which allows for meter free combos to ultra and the ability to punish heavily
- Builds meter well
- Extremely mobile
- Lots of ambiguous mixups and gimmicks
- Fast focus attack
- Unblockables
Weaknesses
- Slightly below average stun
- Low damage output without a jump in, ultra, or super which hurts his comeback potential
- Horiztonal and vertical balls are very punishable on both hit and block
- Reversals can easily be option selected against
- Very vulnerable to divekick pressure
- Hard to break opponents defenses safely
- Must use EX meter for invincible reversal
