Amazon River Run

The Amazon River Run is one of Blanka's unique attacks. It was introduced in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Description
Blanka crouches low to the ground and performs a stretching slide, lunging at the opponent's ankles. The move will dodge any attack that isn't aimed at foot level, making it an ideal counter. This also means that it will dodge almost any projectile as well (the sole exception being Sagat's Low Tiger Shot).

Tactics
This attack's full capabilities are essential knowledge for Blanka players; the move provides incredibly useful range and versatility, with a quick start-up to boot. Its range makes it a wonderful go-to in many situations, provided the player does not get too close to the opponent and leave Blanka vulnerable; the move is unsafe on block. It is also recommended that players mix in the River Run with Level 2 and 3 Focus Attacks.
