Everybody on the street knows Blanka. He's that green muh who is constantly rocking Hulk cosplay and enjoys shocking people for fun. You know who I mean... Blanka.
Seeing as how everyone is down with Blanka, it was an unpleasant surprise when fans found that he had been omitted from the original character roll-out. Realizing their egregious error, Capcom is including him now, but, of course, you gotta pay to play. Blanka is the second fighter in Street Fighter V’s Season 3 DLC. You can get the Street Fighter V Season 3 Character Pass for a whopping $29.99, or you can grab Blanka on his own for $5.99 or 100,000 Fight Money.
Blanka has some classic moves mixed in with a few new tricks, and you can see almost all of em in the video below. Capcom has also released a description of his moves, found below.
V-Skill: Coward Crouch
Blanka immediately ducks for cover for a short time before rising back up. His V-Skill can avoid many attacks, including fireballs. After performing Coward Crouch, Blanka can follow up with either Wild Lift (Punch Button) or Raid Jump (Kick Button). Wild Lift sees Blanka move forward while swinging his arms up to launch the opponent in the air and can be followed up by a normal, special move, or even a Critical Art. Using Raid Jump, Blanka swiftly jumps in the air where he can use any mid-air attack to advance.
V-Trigger I: Jungle Dynamo
Blanka’s V-Trigger I gives his special roll attacks more damage and can then be followed up by certain attacks, including his Critical Art. It also powers up his Electric Thunder and changes the animation so Blanka steps forward while unleashing the electric current. On hit, the opponent is launched slightly in the air and can be followed up with a rolling attack.
Finally, Jungle Dynamo unlocks Ground Shave Rolling (HP+HK), which can be used as a combo extender or a way to charge in. This move was a super move in previous games, but is now a special move in SFV: AE.
V-Trigger II: Lightning Beast
Lightning Beast unlocks a special move, Rolling Cannon (Direction + HP+HK), which can be performed after using Rolling Attack, Back Step Rolling, and Vertical Rolling. Rolling Cannon can be used in multiple ways, such as extending a combo for more damage or changing positions to surprise the opponent.
Critical Art: Dynamic Rolling
In this Critical Art, Blanka slams his opponent into the ground in a series of electrifying rolls that ends in a move reminiscent of Lightning Cannonball from Street Fighter IV.
