Although I only want to play people who will talk.
Why did no one tell me about the short-cut for Guile's Ultra! It makes it so much easier to pull off on reaction without letting my block down for so long.
I play about 30 mins a night We'll have to play again to see if you've improved much.

We'll have to play again to see if you've improved much.I will be totally honest mate, some games I did play the zone sonic boom game. But I knew its cheesy since a lot of players complain of Akuma players just spamming fireballs so I just know how you feel. So I didnt play zone for many of my games to make the games more interesting.
Had I decided to really play tournament style, I would have made sure you dont get a chance to get into close quarters combat with me by spamming sonics and being ultra defensive, but thats just plain plain boring. Albeit if I keep doing it you will eventually have to find away to counter such a defensive tactic. It has to be said that Guile is probably one of the most defensive players in the game so its no brainer to play him as such really.
As to the hop/ultra, I honestly think that you didnt connect it, then again I may have been hallucinating from lack of sleep
the sanwa parts cost me £47
got the octagonal plate, 8 buttons and the stick
damn things not here yet, not even had a dispatch email yet

Definately wasn't insulting your playstyle, it works, play to win and all that, it's like someone trying to be a rushdown Dhalsim, it just won't work, each character has his own best style and like you said, Guiles is his downback charge defense mode. Just makes it hard for characters that have to get in to do anything like Blanka.
It defininately connected cos I gave you a thumbs up yellow smiley after the win and you returned the favour, you should play less and sleep more
Still think his sweep is rediculously unpunishable, I was taking mad damage cos everytime you sonic boomed and came in to sweep I was trying different attacks to punish and only upball inbetween the first and second kick seems to work and that a tight window and only available if I have down charge.

I play a hybrid Blanka and would like a Ryu sparring partner
I thought I was your Ryu sparring partner! I've only been playing with you for a few weeks and you've gone and dumped me already.
I'm starting to play a bit better defensive wise now (such as not jumping in so much) and I'm getting into the habit of using safer moves when they are called for. I'm also trying to learn a few more combos but still having trouble performing links consistently, so they're not that effective in an actual match for me at the moment.
Fingers crossed I'll be able to get a stick soon. I'm still having accuracy problems with the movement and am struggling to perform a few combos quick enough with the pad. Hopefully after a bit of practise, a stick will help with those problems somewhat.

hhmm any tips for someone who hasnt played a fighting game since street fighter on the amiga. I'm finding the "easiest" setting really hard lol.
I also hardly ever play my ps3 so aint sued to pad either lol

guiles roundhouse sweep is regarded as a terrible move because its very high punishable.
im certain you will find something that punishes it, even a roundhouse sweep of your own after the first blocked hit should connect... i'd have to test it out but it sounds like it should work (i think ryu/ken can do this). if all else fails you should be able to get free FA out of it, i dont know about crumple but definitely a free hit
edit- after 5 mins testing, cr.hk doesnt work, but cr.lp, s.lp, cr.mk, s.mk and possible others (i didnt test everything)... i dunno if they are good combo starters for blanka. after blocking the first hit it also puts you it good range for cross ups na doyu can jump after blocking the first. you have more options for punishment if you are sitting on charge. FA is also very easy

After a couple of games earlier I have realised how bad I have become at this game after having a break!

Your not bad at all m8, I think your just having a bad day where you keep doing the same stuff even though you know your going to get hit. Hope you get what I mean.
One thing that will improve your game lot's it to stop jumping in. Try to play a floor game for a few days especially when playing characters with good anti airs.

I never see you online any more

Most people only get 6 buttons, a JLF 8Y (without the plate, £2 cheaper), and keep the square gate. It's a very British thing to refuse to adapt and use an octagonal gate.

Maybe it's just input lag in online matches, we were up and down between 3 and 4 bar connection but I did try a lot of options inbetween and always seemed to eat the second sweep, with the exception of upball.
cr.lp, s.lp, cr.mk, s.mk don't work at the range Cav uses sweep, he's usually at max or slightly longer than max range, first sweep misses, baited an attack and the second sweep hits for knockdown.

I joined your lobby the other day but you were away.
I was in a game with Lucifer before that which is why I didn't join before (I feel I should mention that I managed to get a perfect round against his Balrog* that session 
). I might be on tonight, but more than likely I will be on tomorrow night or at some point on the Saturday.*the Japanese one i.e. Vega!
gg's kreeeeee not sure what happened to the connection at the end but the kids were sat at the top of the stairs being nuisances anyway.
I won 3 which is an improvement over last time YAY!!
seriously send me invites when you next want to beat somebody up im usually up for a game unless the bint is around.

Was really good fun, your Blanka is a lot better than you think
A few pointers though:
1- Use a cross up when up close rather than DF HP, such as j.MK -> c.MK -> electric
2- Careful with your EX ball, I like to bait them so they get wasted then start up the fireball zoning.
3- Use your Ultra when I'm in the air, up close, rather than when I'm far away.

Try doing a vertical cannonball roll on the second sweep.
Tbh, I only do the double leg sweep since I havent seen you counter it.
But when you do I will cease to use it and substitute it for a robust medium leg sweep which has quite good range
Re: your other post. I didnt take your post as a dig and hope you dont take mine the same way
All constructive discussion and arguments Im away till Sunday so perhaps we can play then
