Description

LightningCannonball

Lightning Cannonball.

Executed by charging backward, then pressing forward, backward, forward and all three punches, Blanka crouches, electrifies himself, then somersaults forward into a rolled-up position on the ground. If the player has not let go of the punch buttons, Blanka will remain there, rapidly spinning in place while electrified, until the punch button is released or until a small time limit elapses. Once one of these occur, or if the player did not hold down punch, Blanka will immediately roll forward a short distance.

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 intial 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.
