Blanka is coming

So excited, Blanka is coming;

release date 20th Feb!

I’ve just earned enough FM from playing through survival with each character; it seems like the records are wiped each season, which makes more opportunity to make in game currency.

Stoked I don’t have to shell out any cash top play my favourite main from SFiv 🙂

“In SFV: AE, Blanka is living peacefully with his mother, and has adapted well to being introduced back into society. One day, a suspicious salesman approaches him and offers a way to make Blanka famous by mass producing a doll made in Blanka’s likeness. Will it work? Find out in his character story mode.”

Capcom: Blanka Move List

Great to see all of his SFiv signature moves still there, with pretty much the same input, balls electric and all… but then they’ve given him a command throw to fuck with opponents even more, and his V-SKILL / V-TRIGGER / CRITICAL ART are truly wild.

And did I mention that his CA is QCF QCF Punch 🙂

I’ve had SFV from release, but it’s not felt complete without Blanka, 5 more days!

Picked up Shadow of the Colossus at the weekend…

impressive as the last 2 versions I’ve bought, but now with more detailed graphics and intuitive controls.

I’m up to the 6th Colossi resisting searching for guide, tackling each as I find them. Some have alluded me more than others, but I’m still enjoying the experience and challenge.
