It’s the massive mon himself. Blanka, the beast-like brawler who first appeared in Street Fighter II, is coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition subsequent week, on February 20. He’s nonetheless received them electrics, he’s nonetheless likes to roll round and savage his opponents along with his claws, and he’s nonetheless upset on the world for by chance leaving him within the Amazon jungle for many of his adolescence. But perhaps that’s all about to alter in his upcoming story mode. “One day,” says a post from Capcom, “a suspicious salesman approaches him and offers a way to make Blanka famous by mass producing a doll made in Blanka’s likeness.” Wanna see Blanka dressed up as that doll? I’ve an image proper right here.
Wonderful. But should you’re a Blanka-bopper, you in all probability care extra about his moveset, talents and V-triggers. All of that’s detailed on the Capcom blog post (his Coward Crouch, which lets him duck underneath fireballs, seems to be considerably helpful) however right here’s a video that slaps all of it collectively. I like Blanka, he’s bushy.
Street Fighter V lately morphed into its Arcade Edition, shoving all of the bonus characters from the sport’s first two seasons right into a single easy-to-buy package deal, like a kind of useful debt consolidation corporations. We by no means gave it a renewed evaluation, as a result of we’re quirky like that. But Wes at Eurogamer says it’s finally the game it was meant to be at launch.
By himself, Blanka will value $5.99 of actual cash (or 100,000 Fight Money – the sport’s digital forex), whereas the Season 3 character pass continues to be bought individually and prices £24.99/$29.99. It’ll get you the already-released baby-wanter Sakura, and put you in line for the upcoming Falke, Cody, G and Sagat. I solely recognise a kind of biffers, as a result of I’m a Tekken boy, however all of them sound like healthful people.
But not as healthful as this man.
