First Gameplay Glimpse of Blanka in Street Fighter V

Capcom finally unleashes the green beast as Blanka appears in this debut gameplay trailer. Will be the first to admit that I wish he and his troll play style was left in the past, he doesn’t look like he’s as much of a nuisance this time around. He now gets a command grab, as well as a number of tweaks to give him more combo opportunities, but he doesn’t appear to be as obnoxious in this form. That said, his V-Trigger 2 looks particularly dumb, as he sails around the full screen in ball form.

Blanka will be available as part of the Season 3 DLC offerings on February 20th. I won’t be buying, but I hope Blanka fans rejoice at the better-late-than-never inclusion of this fighter!

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Blanka (EnigmaMount) vs Rose (jettFTW)

Most Blanka players rely heavily on shenanigans to score victories. Here, EnigmaMount systematically picks my Rose apart by letting me rush in and punishing all of my mistakes. This one one of the most sobering matches I’ve played in recent memory.
