What the hell is Blanka's problem?

Metal Mario · 02-16-2010, 01:33 AM

So, he gets lost in the jungle as a baby, and this means he grows up to be Lon Cheney with green skin and orange hair? Dude, George of the Jungle got lost in the jungle as a baby as well, and he grew up to be a barrel-chested Brendan Frasier who married a hot blond and christened his first son at Pryde Rock, all while getting to hang out with John Cleese. And what the **** is up with his electrical attack, anyway? The manual says he learned it from electric eels. WTF? He spends time watching electric eels, and suddenly he can send thousands of volts of electricity coursing through his body at will? (Do electric eels even live in the Brazilian jungle? Hell if I know.) Does this mean I could learn how to light up my ass if I spent enough time watching fireflies?

Blanka, what the **** is your problem?

Ask Capcom.

Robotazy · 02-16-2010, 01:58 AM

Lots of Electric Eel sex.

And Algae eating. But mostly, it's the Electric Eel sex.

But Ryu shooting fireballs of various color and flying via kicking in a spinning circle is realistic. And anything about Bison.

Granted, Blanka is random but still...

If, in the case of the Fireflies, you can spend enough time to study my ass every day?

****, Blanca is wrong or something?

All questions are answered by translation party!

Street Fighter II's characters were a hilarious bunch of national stereotypes. They even made fun of Japan, twice, with karate guy and sumo wrestler guy. All they need is an Eskimo and a Leprechaun and it's a full house.

Jere · 02-16-2010, 09:47 AM

They really need a Lapplander too!

***Booyakasha*** · 02-16-2010, 10:02 AM

I'm confused. I thought that's just what people from South America looked like. You know, Africans are dark-skinned, Asians have slanted eyes, and South Americans are green monsters. I saw it on a National Geographic.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-16-2010, 02:18 PM

Also, I think they should have a Canadian street fighter. Because Canadians are a quarrelsome bunch.

^ He can use maple syrup and hockey sticks as his attacks.

**X-3** · 02-16-2010, 03:06 PM

Haha, good read Metal Mario.

^He could fight like a hockey player. That would be...strange to see.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 02-16-2010, 03:25 PM

Yeah, all berserking. He could use the blades on his feet too.

At least Ryu fit into the whole "martial arts prodigy who can channel his ki into raw offensive power" archetype. But Blanka is some kind of feral Lou Ferrigno who bites off people's faces, and who learned how to electrocute foes by studying fish.

They must have been high when they thought him up.

The ki blasts I get; defying the laws of physics by flying due to spinning kicks? That's as bad as learning electric attacks from eels.

**Deku Trii** · 02-16-2010, 08:37 PM

I wish there was a picture of a studious Blanka wearing a lab coat and intellectual looking glasses carefully running experiments on eels.
