Description[]
Shout of Earth's anti-air version.
Executed by charging down-backward, then performing a "delta" motion (down-forward, down-backward then up-forward) and pressing either all three punch or kick buttons, Blanka beats his chest while roaring, then perform a short backflip before pounding the ground. What happens next is determined by whether triple punch or triple kick was pressed.
If punch buttons are pressed, Blanka releases the electricity in a vertical column which can hit airborne opponents (this version's timing can be altered by holding down the three punch buttons); on the other hand, if kick buttons are pressed, Blanka pounds the ground again while discharging electricity, thus causing standing opponents to be electrocuted.
In the Capcom vs. SNK games, Blanka generates an electric field around him, in a similar way to the Super Electric Thunder.
In Street Fighter V, this move is performed by pressing Medium Punch and Medium Kick simultaneously. If the buttons are held, Blanka beats his chest as his body surges with electricity. When he performs the fully charged version of his second V-Skill, the damage and range are enhanced. On hit, he launches the opponent high into the air, allowing Blanka to follow-up with another special attack. While holding Medium Punch and Medium Kick, Blanka can dash forward or back to cancel the V-Skill. However, he maintains the attack until he delivers it.
In Street Fighter 6, Shout of Earth is primarily localized around Blanka's feet. Its main application aside from combos is as an invincible reversal alongside an OD Vertical Roll, especially when the latter is unavailable during Burnout. While Lightning Beast is active, Shout of Earth reaches fullscreen similar to its Street Fighter IV incarnation.
