Lowest crouch height, is able to crouch under a lot of attacks.Born2SPD Strengths And Weaknesses Strengths To select O.Blanka, choose Blanka and then press → ← ← ← Jab/Fierce, pressing Short simultaneously with the punch button for the alternate color. In return, he gained a backstep rolling attack that happens to be the absolute worst special move in the game. His electricity attack, whose official name is Electric Thunder, also had its attack boxes reduced for the Strong and Fierce versions. In SSF2, his crouching Roundhouse kick and Fierce punch were made slower, the aerial kicks' priority were greatly reduced, the Horizonal Roll received a longer recovery animation after the knockback on hit/block (which made it be unsafe on hit on various match-ups) and his Vertical Roll active hitboxes when he descends were completely absent.
His appearance in Street Fighter II' Turbo (Japan)/Hyper Fighting (World/US, HF for short) was glorious: his attacks had great priority, specially his aerial kicks, and his added special attack, the Vertical Roll, greatly improved his combo potential and wake-up pressure. Blanka had arguably received a too strong nerf in Super Street Fighter II (SSF2).
