Description
Edit

Lightning Cannonball.
As with the Ground Shave Roll, the attack is difficult to use correctly due to the precise timing and planning required; one way of ensuring that the second half of the move is not blocked is to execute it at extremely close range; the initial somersault will send the foe flying, and the ability to delay the follow-up roll allows Blanka to wait until the opponent is on the way down.

Trivia
Edit
- The Lightning Cannonball has a startup of 4 frames, making it one of the fastest non-command grab Ultra Combos in Ultra Street Fighter IV. There are three other Ultra Combos with a startup of 4 frames, namely Decapre's anti-air DCM, Hugo's Megaton Press and Rose's Soul Satellite.
