I've been playing Blanka for around 30 years, and yes, I get like this on occasion. Mostly when someone counters what you're doing only to fall into another trap, or when, after being gimmicked to death, you switch to playing "honest" neutral/footsies and they are so worried they make mistake after mistake.
Props to the editor, crazy how he trims 4+ hour streams into vids with no downtime and doesn't interrupt sajam between matches. And time stamping the entire thing as well
Blanka-chan is the gift that keeps on giving. Blanka just kinda works as a lighthearted "joke" character in general (who can apparently still bodies you...as T. Hawk and now Lily mains can attest).
to add on he has gotten master on like 4 characters before blanka; and has both experience of fighting blanka in this game and legacy knowledge of the character
You’ll make it out soon.. Just be patient and wait for opponent to hang themselves. Try react to Di, try to anti air and lastly try not to jump too much. Unless it’s going to be a crossup. You got this 💪🏾💪🏾
I’m a blanka main… after watching this… I’m obviously trying too hard… lol I’ve been working hard on setups and mixups… I just need to heavy ball and rainbow ball a lot more. The title of this video is the best!
I got some ptsd flashbacks from the guile blanka matchup. From the guile player side. This is my first street fighter so I’m kinda a scrub and my training partner mains blanka and has been playing since sf4. I guess this is karma for him having to deal with my Leo all of strive
You know a villain is in the making when they just scream out the name of the attacks and says "Skippity woop" when going in on offense. This vid is TOTALLY inside the mind of your average Blanka player.
So Blanka's upball is weird compared to most anti airs. The i-frames are on the active frames where most dp i-frames are on the start up. This is why you'll lose a lot to jump ins you have to anti air early unlike most characters.
This video made me go look it up and yeah it looks like up ball isn't nearly as anti air as you'd expect lol the hitboxes just aren't there for it apparently, I just kind of assumed it was as good as Headbutt or Flash Kick
Not only the hitboxes, but it more importantly just straight up doesn't have air invul on startup (it's air invul starts with active frames instead which is weeeird)
Things Sajam looks for on a new character: what do I do off my lights, what's my antiair, what do I hit when I knock them down? Things I look for on a new character: which color looks coolest?
Played Blanka for the first time to try to get a more “even” matchup against a friend that just bought SF6. I had to give up on specials and just play neutral because it was too evil even in the hands of a bronze. He unfortunately refunded the game.
Honestly in my area people are waaay better interrupting blanka balls with anti-airs than these folks. Also most of my contenders play rushdown ken and turtle guile.
Blanka and Sim might be the least picked characters, but it's not because they're bad. Blanka is absolutely disgusting and Sim is one of few characters who have multiple Masters in the top 10 on the global leaderboard.
Sajam laughing through an entire set is how I imagine every Blanka player
oh no no no. There's tons of confusion and asking yourself why I cant do this or that move...
@@MrFuckingloginprobably just the duality of Blanka
As someone currently maining Blanka, can confirm that when I'm not labbing stuff, that I am most certainly like this in matches.
I’m a blanka main since SFV and yeah sometimes lol

This was like watching Sajam put on the symbiote.
Hahahah great comment
Before this video I was stuck in Plat ranks, now I managed to get Silver 1 and my wife ran away with my kids, thank you so much Sajam!!😍
Props to the editor, crazy how he trims 4+ hour streams into vids with no downtime and doesn't interrupt sajam between matches. And time stamping the entire thing as well
Moste is the best, he crushes it with these
I go back to Eli the Curry on Blanka: “If you lose you look like a jackass, if you win you feel like a jackass. What a character.”
the labbing part at the beginning is such a nice addition
Expectation: lab intricate, elaborate, optimal combos
Reality: blanka ball, blanka ball, blanka ball
I don't think I've seen Sajam laugh this hard since the Majas arc. What a time to be alive.
I still go back and watch that lol
the Majas arc is peak comedy
Lmao. I still think about that. Majas and I can't remember tasty Steve's name. Was it delicious stew or something
@@jofine7856 Majas and Yummy Stew’s cooking instruction
Never seen a Blanka walk forward in my life
I’m surprised yet thankful I don’t run into Blankas more often
23:22 We've all had that same"I'm going to hell, bro." moment, when we do some dispicable shit.
3:10 "those balls are unsafe" - my proctologist
That Guile restored a bit of faith in humanity for me. The Blanka menace CAN be stopped.
I ran into about 5 Blankas today in my hour long ranked session. That’s about 5 more Blankas than usual. I blame you, Mr Streamer, I blame you
Sometimes I wish I could see the input display for these matches so I could see Sajam hit that ball 14 times in a row with no breaks
thumbnail is absolutely magnificent, as always
Blanka-chan is the gift that keeps on giving. Blanka just kinda works as a lighthearted "joke" character in general (who can apparently still bodies you...as T. Hawk and now Lily mains can attest).
This is what every Blanka player sounds like while playing hahaha 16:48
I had to pause the video at 17:26... As a viewer, and as a Blanka player, I have not laughed this much in a long time. Thank you Sajam.
Need someone to overlay DEB sayin some shit like "it's just pure RPS, just pure risk reward" after Sajam realizes his inner Blanka player
I've been practicing this character for a week and I am in iron... Watching sajam killing it from the get go is just....
Sajam is also in like the top 1% of players and has been playing FGs daily for a decade
to add on he has gotten master on like 4 characters before blanka; and has both experience of fighting blanka in this game and legacy knowledge of the character
are you setting up bMK oki on electric or upball knockdowns?
@@joncliffmckinley5868dude if he’s in iron I think fundies are the worry
You’ll make it out soon.. Just be patient and wait for opponent to hang themselves. Try react to Di, try to anti air and lastly try not to jump too much. Unless it’s going to be a crossup. You got this 💪🏾💪🏾
16:35 The moment you can see The Blanka Cursed Stuff™ start to affect Sajam
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Oh wow I didn’t know I was playing Sajam haha. I’m officer nasty. I didn’t know he just started playing blanka!! Great video btw
I’m a blanka main… after watching this… I’m obviously trying too hard… lol I’ve been working hard on setups and mixups… I just need to heavy ball and rainbow ball a lot more. The title of this video is the best!
damn, Blanka really taking everyone to Memphis, huh?
The snicker into the dialog at 47:24 was what did it for me. 😂
Edit: i appreciate the names for the timestamps.
That's a lot of laughing for someone going to hell for what they are doing
Villains as we may be, the police can't catch a HEAVY BLANKA BALL.
“I’m just doing shit “
“Im tryna hop here brotha “ now you a blanka player 😂
I got some ptsd flashbacks from the guile blanka matchup. From the guile player side. This is my first street fighter so I’m kinda a scrub and my training partner mains blanka and has been playing since sf4. I guess this is karma for him having to deal with my Leo all of strive
damn... I hope you do Honda next:D I wanna see some combos I can st... borrow
this is the same energy as romolla on honda, I'm here for it
thank you for the tutorial on how to fight blanka, it's so hard to learn outside replays when every like 1 in 50 players is a blanka
Interesting to actually see someone you fought in a video for once with that Folken Guile. Lotsa flash kicks
Blanka Bros we in there
You know a villain is in the making when they just scream out the name of the attacks and says "Skippity woop" when going in on offense. This vid is TOTALLY inside the mind of your average Blanka player.
Slash those ankles Lord Sajam.

ex too?
@@fortidogi8620 ex is fully invincible
I think humanity deserved this after all the wars
I’ve watched that first set against Luke about 3 times already. The laughter is so infectious.
This was hilarious, as much as I hate fighting this creature the video had me giggling.
Blanka way too fun in this game
Go my child and hold down the nooch
Sajam found the Death Note
That 2nd blanka mirror was so rough to watch and I loved it
This video made me go look it up and yeah it looks like up ball isn't nearly as anti air as you'd expect lol the hitboxes just aren't there for it apparently, I just kind of assumed it was as good as Headbutt or Flash Kick
Not only the hitboxes, but it more importantly just straight up doesn't have air invul on startup (it's air invul starts with active frames instead which is weeeird)
I love watching Sajam he teaches me so much about how to play good, honest Street Fighter
With Blanka, there's no difference between good play and trolling. They're the same thing.
Thanks for this man! Hope more Blanka on the horizon 🎉
Who knew that Sajam was such a natural Blanka player. Truly an inspiring vid for players looking to pick up Blanka🎉
I started off maining Blanka. This really encapsulated the experience lol.
This time they blamed the beast and they have every right to be
"Those balls are unsafe".. I giggled like a child when I heard him say this lol
This is how MenaRD is gonna win the Milli.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to play Blanka...
This is not a different Sajam, this is just Sajam being allowed to channel the inner dishonest playing we all know he wants to do. Truly a terror.
"What if I just did....heavy ball"😂😂
👀
dark sajam is rising…? can we get some negative color youtube thumbnails?
Loved dvery second of it ;)
thank you sajjamistan for blanka
.jpg is also fun and easy for a granblue player such as yourself
I feel so bad for asking for this I feel like I put out something in the world that can never be put back in. I feel like Oppenheimer.
i dont remember where it was in the vid but "green stuff slide?" is a banger sentence
Blanka is very fun. I took my Blanka from Iron rank to Platinum 😅
Why is everyone crying about drive rush n DI, I think it brings bacc an element of pure fun to sf, what u think?
Good mechanic. Its strong for a reason.
Willard Killard VS. Officer Nasty
Battle of the Gods
What's my anti-air?
Blanka got 3! decent buttons.
The laugh just getting progressively more evil
Blanka always had sauce man so glad ppl realize it
Things Sajam looks for on a new character: what do I do off my lights, what's my antiair, what do I hit when I knock them down?
Things I look for on a new character: which color looks coolest?
insane thumbnail
I gave up on SF6 when it launched because it felt weird and links are hard. Then I saw this and thought, you know what, it's kinda worth it.
The blanka grime consumes all
This Blanka dude looks kinda hype.
Wish there were more Kim players! I'm not good enough myself to play sajam unfortunately 😂
Good lord what a thumbnail
i have hated this character for 14 years, and i'll hate him for another 14
Sajam singing Chop Suey: yabba dabba do
He’s on his villain arc
Am I the only one that hears Blanka say "yezzirrrr" on up ball?
Ex upball is invincible on start up
Best thumbnail.
Idc what ppl say i love blanka fav character since sf2 turbo
So the lesson I'm getting here is that up ball loses to everything.
FAT says it's just slower than average to become invincible to jump attacks
I wanted the thumbnail to be a Metro Boomin reference so badly
Iykyk
gg’s 👍🏾
I was rooting for literally everyone he fought except for the other Blanka players
Played Blanka for the first time to try to get a more “even” matchup against a friend that just bought SF6. I had to give up on specials and just play neutral because it was too evil even in the hands of a bronze. He unfortunately refunded the game.
ohh.i didnt know this was you😂 ggs that day idk how to fight blanka yet
Unhinged
Jesus christ Blanka's even getting to Sajam now this is NO BUENO (this is the funniest shit I've ever seen)
And Just like that, 100% of SaJam's street cred was gone
I love Geif but I would not touch him in this game.
he's a menace
Honestly in my area people are waaay better interrupting blanka balls with anti-airs than these folks. Also most of my contenders play rushdown ken and turtle guile.
I switched to Honda and it's super fun. Maybe switching to Blanka would be even more fun? 🤔
your placement is heavily influenced by what you select as your ' street fighter experience ' the first time you enter battlehub
It is, but also I noticed once you've taken a character to master it seems to give you a lot of master opponents on qualifiers.
Day 1 and Sajam's already playing Blanka like an absolute degenerate. As he should.
1:35 family man sajam
1:03:25 why am I doing ball?
Hey Blanka, who's your favorite character in Tears of the Kingdom?
Blanka and Sim might be the least picked characters, but it's not because they're bad. Blanka is absolutely disgusting and Sim is one of few characters who have multiple Masters in the top 10 on the global leaderboard.
