Electric Thunder



Electric Thunder is Blanka's signature special attack, ever since it's debut in Street Fighter II. By repeatedly pressing any punch button, Blanka's body will flash with electricity. The strength of the move depends on the strength of the punch button pressed. If anyone comes in close contact with Blanka while he's electrocuted, they will obviously be zapped, with big damage. Once the move is activated, Blanka cannot move until the move ends (by simply stop pressing punch), so this move is considered a close-up defensive move. This makes it one of the few moves to fall under that category to not have a "hold back for two seconds" criteria.
