@nohoho: I've seen Komoda do the cross up ball xx super in the corner, and now AFO at 1:58, but I could never figure out how to do it. I've read a few things here and there on how to execute it, but it never worked. Since you're a Blanka player, can you shed some light on this?

At 1:08 YuuVega actually takes what appears to be a full step forward before unleashing the super. You can clearly see that it fooled Saitou, who probably thought he was going to walk-up throw after the block string.
Only other player I've seen do this is Taira. It looks like Chun-Li's stored super, even though it doesn't function anything like it. Do you have any clue on how they're doing this? If not, can you find out?
Re: bison - You are able to retain your charge for a few frames after pressing forward.
ReplyDeleteI love the C/U lk> st. mp x2> cr. mp combo on Honda. I try to pull that out when I can. Total charged me up to see AFO play Blanka so well in that match up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
Fatboy, is the C/U lk> st. mp x2> cr. mp combo that you mentioned possible against other characters also?
ReplyDelete643 - For ball -> super, if your opponent is on the right
ReplyDeletecharge left, right + fierce, left + punch
That'll work. The final joystick motion counts as a "back" and a "towards" since you've crossed them up.
An easy way play around with it is to get a mame cheat file (< google that) and turn on invincibility for p2 and have them stand just outside the corner. Then you can ball right through them and super back the other way.
002 - Close move x2 often fails against skinny characters like Chun, Dhalsim etc. You get a far strong. Otherwise I think that it works against most chars.
You should of broke out O.Ryu against Wong...
ReplyDeleteI like fighting against his O.Ken with Blanka.
ReplyDeleteAh. Good for you, keep on working for those wins like a real man.
