Character Overview

A mobile, momentum-driven character who thrives in chaos and unpredictable movement.

Playstyle: Tricky / Mix-up
Execution: High

Blanka alternates between evasive neutral and sudden offense using rolls and doll setups to create scramble situations and bait mistakes.

Key Strengths

  • Ambiguity: Unpredictable approach angles.
  • Setplay: Blanka-chan dolls enforce situational traps.
  • Anti-Projectile: Low-profile tools bypass zoning.

Key Weaknesses

  • Risky Offense: Unsafe on block without spacing.
  • Inconsistent Reward: Requires reads to sustain pressure.
  • Corner Escape: Limited reversal options under pressure.

Counter-Strategy

Kill the scramble by holding your ground and anti-airing early. Punish Blanka Balls on block with Drive Rush conversions. Force him to play honest footsies, where his reward is lower and his walk speed is limited.
