you can always tell a subpar Blanka player when they throw out random EX rainbow rolls from halfscreen. those ambiguous crossups might carry you in scrubby online play but you'll get murdered for it in tourneys
this match is a pretty good illustration of how much worse Blanka is than everyone used to think, though. sure, he's got decent combos and good mix-up, but his fundamentals are weak and limited. once you find ways around his tricks, there's barely anything he can do
@ZitzBracket Yeah, but getting around the tricks is pretty difficult in itself.
Justin Wong himself said on Gootecks' podcast that he was thinking of playing Blanka on Daigo in the EVO finals cause there's one Blanka player in Japan that makes Daigo look free.
@Peetar What was his name? Because it can't possibly be the only high level Japanese Blanka player I know- Mizoteru, who, despite trying so hard, has only recently been able to not get his ass handed to him or just BARELY win in every video I've seen.
I've no idea what's the name of the Blanka player. You should listen to Gooteck's interview with Justin Wong right after EVO2K9. Justin Wong talks about his experience in Japan, his thoughts during the final match, and the characters he was thinking about picking against Daigo. He mentioned that there was a Blanka player that would just follow Daigo from cabinet to cabinet and make Daigo look free.
I wish this guy would still be playing Guile in SSF4.

I completely agree. Though the 9-1 abel match is ridiculous.

Who thumb-downed ZitzBracket? It's true.
I play Blanka, and that was a pretty good Blanka, not the best. I give him credit though, dealing with turtles can be a pain.

@Sephlock Yh it is Mizoteru. Apparently Daigo has (maybe had by now) huge problems with runaway Blanka.

The hell how did he do a ex ball after he dashes in from a throw tech at 2:00?!?!?

That hop is just three buttons. You don't have to do anything else to hop. Hold down forward and hop around, you'll keep the charge for ex up ball

he used KKK and dash , not forward forward
