Street Fighter V General Discussion

It's all so very confusing.

I made it into this one too. Super silver lyfe.
Look kid, I'm glad you think that shit matters but until you can wakeup flash kick and throw several sonic booms while standing still, AND THEN FLASH KICK WHEN THEY JUMP THE BOOM, you don't have shit. Do you understand the level of planning and skill it takes to flash kick someone jumping? No. You don't. That kind of setup and advanced mindgame is beyond you. It literally takes enough matches to equate to a full time job to perfect that kind of play.

Allright, I know it's super early but AS OF RIGHT NOW, what is the general opinion of Blanka's strength? Obviously some exact tier placement means nothing, but is he coming across as weak, solid, very solid, ridiculous, etc?

Cool, let me know what you think.
Will do.

Spent some time in training mode with him but that's it for right now. Very interesting.. he has a lot of shit going on it seems like. He's.. I dunno, 'heavier' than I expected/thought but that's often just how sfv feels.. this game does awkward way too well and way too often (I find Zeku and Sakura unplayable, both characters I was HUGELY looking forward to), and Blanka has some of that but not too much. He feels reasonably fluid and responsive with his attacks and his movement and such

So far from a basic standpoint I like how he plays.

This is a pretty solid breakdown:


I personally think how good he is depends primarily on how capable your opponent is at punishing straight balls on block and reacting to his other crap.
I agree, and even though he's new and not many people know how to play against blanka per say, I haven't seen even the pros (momochi,Valle,etc.) be able to punish his rolls, especially his lp roll. They're also fast as hell and can cross you up. Looks pretty interesting to me. I think I already mentioned this but shit I actually saw a top player (can't remember who, either valle,momochi,or poongko,) acually do shimmies with blankas roll, lol.
 
This may be another one of those questions where @FL Rushdown comes back with a "I mean I thought this was universally understood by now I mean its 2018 isnt it obvious I mean it's so obvious how do you not understand this it's right in front of your face what don't you understand it's obviously obvious..." Lol I'll stop

Is it just me or do some characters have weird wake up frames? (Not talking about wake up techs). For example I wiff my meaties on Ed way more than other characters.

Dude this might be like a hard technical question honestly, but how many frames does a character get up in? Are they different frames for each character? I'm also interested in knowing all if this lol.
