Normal Attacks

Standing

• LK (Low Kick): Quick but has poor range and limited use.
• MK (Slow Low Kick): Slower than LK with slightly more damage.
• SK (Flip Kick): Good poke range, can be blocked and countered, good as an anti-air attack.

Crouching

• LP (Claw Swipe): Decent range, but not fast or great. Can be substituted by Crouching MK, Crouching SK, and Crouching MP.
• MP (Upper Torso Swipe): Good reach, but slow recovery. Useful at the right moment against some attacks.
• SP (Upper Torso Fist): Great reach, good for countering attacks like Spinning Bird Kick, and as an anti-air. Unsafe on block.
• LK (Foot Kick): Limited range and use.
• MK (Forefoot Kick): Slight extra range over LK, otherwise useless.
• SK (Backfoot Trip): Good reach potential, but unsafe on block and slow startup. Requires precise timing.

Jumping

• LP (Falling Claw): Useless unless knocking an opponent out of an aerial attack. Too fast with poor range.
• MP (Diagonal Punch): Hits aerial and grounded opponents. Moves quickly, requires timing.
• SP (Double Swipe): Best used to counter opponent moves. Slower startup, limited use.
• Straight-Up SP (Claw Swipe): Good for annoying opponents who jump at Blanka. Good reach, great for knocking opponents out of moves. Unsafe on block.
• LK (Aerial Heel): Not useful, avoid in favor of SK or MP.
• MK (Aerial Foot): More range than LK, otherwise useless.
• SK (Double Aerial Kick): Excellent poke range, can hit grounded and aerial opponents when timed right.

Throws

Special Moves

Electric Thunder

• Strong vs.: Rush attacks, Anti-Air attacks, Other attacks, Close attacks.
• Weak vs.: Air attacks (Zanku Hadoken, Tenma Gou Zanku only), Projectile attacks.

A devastating move that can keep opponents away. If used in a corner, it's hard to counter. Blanka is vulnerable to non-direct hits (Hadoken, Kikouken, Kacho San, etc.). Great defensive move.

Rolling Attack

• Strong vs.: Dash attacks, Other attacks (when not timed correctly), Air attacks (except for Zanku Hadoken and Tenma Gou Zanku).
• Weak vs.: Anti-Air attacks, Projectile attacks.

Great for defense, especially against opponents who attack relentlessly. Comes out fast but is unsafe on block and only goes forward. Distance depends on the P button used. Vulnerable to many attacks.

Back Step Rolling

• Strong vs.: Same as Rolling Attack.
• Weak vs.: Same as Rolling Attack.

Blanka jumps back before attacking. Otherwise, the properties are the same as Rolling Attack.
