I used to play Abel but started Blanka near the end of last year in the arcade for Vanilla IV, he's better in there than in Super IV but he's still good, but I still have a lot to learn. I also have no clue when to do his Ultra II except for anti-air, doing the ground version just always backfires, especially on a character like Guy who can just flip > grab, EX Air Tatsumaki, etc., not to mention I just guessed wrong there anyway. Charging for Ultra's online AND with a PS3 controller is a ***** either way I usually only do an EX Ball or Hard punch, or cowardly crouch by mistake.
I picked up Dee Jay, Hakan, and Dan for the lulz, I have an alright grasp of Dee Jay I suppose but I need to stop guessing the most predictable choices (EX-Jackknife counters when you're ducking thinking you would flip > elbow again, etc.). C. Medium Punch > EX-Machine Gun is a hassle for charging online, especially trying to FADC from another move into it. Not even gonna bother trying to do stuff like sweep > Ultra II online, it's already a pain trying to land either of his online, I'm just gonna wait for a good punish. Hakan online is suicide, and Dan is just trolling, although his Dankukyaku and EX-Dankukyaku's are pretty good actually.
I would love to fight offline tho.
