Great, PROFESSIONAL commentary.

Mao is a gem

Probably the Blankas here were better than me That said I was not impressed with the Blanka play on display We saw lots of approach with jumping HK, horizontal roll, and slide jHK is very nerfed compared to earlier SF2, it's really only good for fireball punishes/predictions, not as a generic approach tool Horizontal roll is quite bad, punishable even on hit; we saw it punished as a combo ender (possibly dropped? was only 2 hit) with disastrous results. Up-ball recovers much faster and also hits from frame 1. Slide is very situational except vs Guile (only character whose projectiles you can slide under), it can be an effective poke at distance but doesn't really get you "in" safely unless you hit Instead I'd prefer to see more walk/hop for bite, which is Blanka's biggest offensive threat as it has great range Blanka has strong pokes in far LK and close MP that can help create bite opportunities (or just try to win on footsies) Vs opposing pressure I'd like to see reversal up-ball, reversal throw, hop back (which has invincibility for most of the move) and just block as Blanka's main options I don't think we saw any reversal up-ball and Blankas got quite punished for weakness to pressure, especially in the Boxer match TLDR don't horizontal roll, do bite

how is claw not tourney locked behind a G.A? By far and away the most broken character in this game

[@daniprepper9812]

I am not sure. From my point of view Ryu has the best normals in the game, and the zoning of Old Sagat is insane.

[@AntLeonardi01]

Sf2 has so much broken nonsense. I’m surprised it’s still played competitively

[@daniprepper9812]

I thought I was the only one thinking this.

Vega is cheap
