Description
Official art of Blanka's Electric Thunder from Street Fighter II.
Executed by repeatedly pressing any punch button, Blanka rapidly crouches and conducts several thousand volts of electricity through his body, zapping opponents that come in contact. The strength of the move depends on the strength of the punch button pressed.
Tactics
Once the move is activated, Blanka cannot move until the move ends (by simply stopping the button tapping), so this move is considered a close-up defensive move.
There is a very small spot on the ground, roughly below his head and hands, where the opponent can strike Blanka (with the least risk of being electrocuted) and break him out of his attack. Also, while this electric defense works fairly well against physical contact, it does not shield Blanka against projectile attacks.
