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 is a tricky character who, despite being a charge character, has deadly mixup potential. His playstyle is wild and unpredictable, from sneaky cross-up Rolling Attacks to constantly switching sides on the enemy with the Beast Hop. Even his Ultras are unpredictable, with the first having to be blocked high and then low, to the other being able to hit either airborne or grounded foes. Blanka, however, has a very luck-based wakeup game which, should he guess incorrectly, can he furiously punished for. In addition, he is very charge reliant and the second he loses his charge the only thing he can hope to save him is his Electricity. If you prefer to annoy your opponents with mindgames, mixups, and unpredictability, Blanka might be for you.
