Blanka in SSFT2
What are some good blanka strats? I use him as someone would in cvs(basically), 
I turtle alot, poke with c.hp, use jab and strong rolls to move across the 
screen, roll(duh), and mash like hell when I get an hp throw That's really it 
basically(if you like to add strats please do I would really appreciate them, 
ALOT), what I'm really wondering about are his matchups,combos, and anti-air. 
For matchups I mean who he has advantages against and disadvantages against. As 
for anti-air I use a vert roll, but would a s.hk work? I try a s.hk(which was 
pretty good anti-air in past games) and get snuffed alot and I'm wondering if 
I'm using it wrong(too early too late etc.) Lastly I play Super Street Fighter 2 
NOT Turbo(so meaning there are no supers in the game) 1)what is blanka's super 
and how can I use it? and 2) what's the difference between a SSF2 blanka and 
SSF2T other than a new super. Thanx in advance.

ssf2t blanka had slide,hop back and hop forward....the worst thing of ssf2t 
blanka is his ball recovery is NOT improved[while his opponent like honda 
vega,balrog and bison,etc are MUCH better!],so he is no more top tier as he 
was......:<

Thanks, btw by slide do you mean amazon river run? He go's backside and slides 
with his heard toward the opponent, that one? And one major thing I forgot who 
are the characters who can punish blanka after a roll? Thanx for replying.

headbutt or sc,balrog rushing punch or sc,vega's standing fierce,m.bison's 
torpedo,cammy's drills,dhamlsim's long fierce....etci think i miss many other 
char can punish blanka,but,the about is the most importent case....

nightmare:<:<in old sf2t,he is A LOT better cos his ball recovery is best!!!!!

I know Blanka in SSF2T can STILL be highly effective. I've heard there are some 
Blanka terrors in Japan, and the best way to play Blanka is NOT with the Ball 
anymore. I heard they use the Jumping Cross-up Short a lot. I can't really say, 
though I know Choi has played against a good Blanka in Japan before. Maybe he 
can help.

jchensor : 
I totally agree with you. I think that the most effective way to use blanka in 
ST is to always surprise the opponent so he can never predict your attacks (hops 
and slide help a lot to do this), I don't use his rolling attack very often.

Blanka can be a shotos nightmare. Obviously Chankalok hasn't played against any 
good ST Blanka players. Old Ryu is the only shoto with a real advantage over 
Blanka, but the rest are open game. 

Go bring this up in the ST Strategy thread.
