Yukari plays modern Blanka on high level to have it buffed Capcom: Oh wow they actually reach Legend 1 with a Modern Blanka. I guess we'll leave it as it is then. Yukari: Shocked Pikachu face meme

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Plot twist: Yukari finally admits he plays modern Blanka because some small glitches like neutral jumping backward make modern Blanka slightly better. Since Capcom can't find the glitches, they buff classic Blanka instead.

You have to be pretty smart to be the best SF player so this lack of foresight is truly remarkable. If you win a lot, you fail to prove your point. If you lose a lot, you won't be able to prove that you deserved any of the wins you might have gotten with a better character.

Another benefit charge characters like Blanka and Honda get in Modern is that you can buffer charge moves without losing charge. E.g. Modern Honda can do 5M (St MP) and buffer Headbutt with the SP button without letting go 4. It also works as an OS with OD Headbutt cause you can mash it and it'll come out during fake block strings. You can't mash OD headbutt in Classic because you lose the charge after the first attempt. That being said, I think Honda is just slighty weaker in Modern because you lose some important stuff, but Blanka just seems way worse in Modern.

[@dragoknighte48]

Honda loses a lot less (mostly just his overhead stomp, but unlike Blanka it's still in his TC so it's not 100% gone), but also gains a lot more since 1 button supers makes his level 2 a viable anti-fireball tool, which is huge for his defense.

As a Modern Random player, getting Blanka is always a good time. You just press buttons and be unpredictable. Edit: If anyone is curious, Supercombo's SF6 wiki will have a breakdown of what Modern loses for each character on the page for the character.

[@forcommentingpurposesonly2918]

bro i have to know what they said

[@dh3014]

Another tiny benefit: you don't lose your charge after an attempt of OD upperball. Like usually if you OS the OD upperball after an 2MK drive rush, as a charge character you lose the charge if the opponent does a block string, but in modern you can keep your charge.

[@WraxTV]

And remember, Classic only became an option because some of the devs were "old players" and the new control scheme confused them. When you see characters like this, it really makes ya wonder...

[@ArizonaRangerPE]

7:35 But doesn't him being rank 1 with modern Blanka "prove" that he isn't that bad? Capcom are gonna see modern Blanka at top 1 legend and think: "Wow, Modern Blanka must be pretty good" and then do nothing 😅

[@matthewirizarry8467]

The reduction in options makes decision making easier. You turn a situation from "which normal is appropriate at this range" into "will my one normal hit." This leaves so much mental room for everything else. Same with confirms. Modern's auto confirms just take a huge load off your mental stack. The universal mechanics in this game are strong enough to fill most gaps. Im surprised more people arent playing modern. It completely changes the way your opponent has to play against you.

[@HellecticMojo]

[@jnastywot2298]

I don't get the complaint. Modern is literally supposed to be a stripped down but more accessible version. If you want more options that version of the character already exist. Thats like picking Cammy and being mad that you cant do spinning bird kick... just pick the character that does that.

[@mohammedosman4902]

WITNESS THE POWER OF YOUTH! Ok seriously, this is absolutely insane

[@wordcroutons]

There's another small benefit to modern controls on charge characters. Classic Blanka loses downcharge whenever he tries to use OD upball, but modern can attempt it without losing charge (you just hold down back and mash the auto+special buttons). This might be helpful if you're using an OD move to cut through pressure strings. If you don't know where the gaps in the strings are, you might attempt an OD reversal while you're still in block stun and lose your chance to use the move until you get charge again. Modern charge characters can just mash the reversal until the first available moment.

[@acorn2565]

that super at the end still looked buffered to me. wish you had the inputs on cuz it looked classic. also, new series? hide the icon = guess the controls: Modern or Classic

[@pipehelix5776]

The impliances of making modern viable the the highest level would be looking at truly the same bunch of moves and everyone playing the safest way possible because of the supers, characters having sauce that doesn't matter because a simpler controller is optimal, and complicating the scheme for new players to understand even more to the point that classic is easier to play. It could be bad for viewers, current players, and new players so I disagree what he's standing for. Exceptional blanka however, truly an amazing player

2:53 is misleading, you don't lose any real damage if you do crouch MK into OD ball into Heavy upball. yeah if you do light you lose more damage. But I don't see a reason to use light blanka ball in that combo, you'd use heavy or medium if you think for some reason it's not going to connect.

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

Modern Blanka REALLY sucks, it can't be overstated. Although, charge characters do get a pretty good benefit from being able to spam their OD Reversal on wakeup/block without losing charge. If you get the timing wrong, nothing comes out and you're still holding down so you can try again for free. But it's not nearly as good as on Honda where he has a charge super as well, or fireball characters where it makes consistent fireball pressure trivial. Thoughts and prayers for this Blanka player, who must be one of the Blanka-est Blanka players of all time. I do hope capcom takes notice though being fr, just give Modern a little more sauce, just a teense.

[@ericavramenko1686]

Rule of thumb for Modern: Characters have their overhead taken away, if they have one, with only a few exceptions. For example, Marisa loses her overhead button, but keeps her overhead off of her special move, scutum. The same applies for Cammy and her hooligan. Lastly, Juri is the only member of the cast who keeps their overhead normal (mdfK?). Everyone else loses their 'normal' overhead button. Which, in my opinion, sucks. Strips a huge segment of gameplay from modern controls for very little gain, imo.
