Blanka's Rolling Attacks can also be effective wake-up moves, assuming you have a direction charged and ready to go as you get knocked down.Ĭasual players may also want to familiarize themselves with Blanka's V-Skill, which sees him sprawl on the ground. As you get more and more used to them, you can integrate them into combos, though the most standard combo will involve ending with Electric Thunder. Whether using the standard version of the move or the Vertical version (which required charging down before hitting Up + Kick), Blanka's Rolling Attacks are most effective as standalone moves to catch opponents off-guard.

Blanka's Electric Thunder attack returns for the button masher in all of us, but his standing light punch goes a little slower this time around, so you'll have to earn the electricity combo a little more this time around.

Casual players that are more into fireball motions and the like won't find anything for them here.

As has always been the case in both Street Fighter II and IV, Blanka is a charge character. Whether a casual player picks up Blanka ultimately depends on what type of character they like.
