He didn't use Blanka against me, but he did use Sim, Vega, Adon and Rufus. His Sim is fairly predictable (he likes to do raw teleports into sniper into throw) and he almost always attacks at the start of the round so you could either counter or focus through his attack (I went with the latter to attempt a knockdown or start applying pressure). His Vega is easy to read. Slide at start of round. Ex claw dive (crossup version) and random claw dives ad nauseam. Walk up, throw. Overhead, throw. Backflip on wakeup. I would attribute my losses in those matches to me just playing like a moron. If there was a contest for jumping the most times in a match with Adon, he'd win hands-down. With Rufus, pretty much any button he presses seems to work in his favour *lol* He kinda gets in for free and it's tough to get him off you once he's close. Dive kick into jab spam, rinse and repeat with occasional throw. Random Messiah kicks. Flying kick in air into snake strikes. He loves wakeup ultra and super (with all of his characters, it seems). He gets fairly desperate and starts attacking recklessly after he's lost a lot of health. I can't read his Ryu. There are times where he'll become somewhat predictable but I'll eventually just get randomed out. Seems easier when using Guile but I've played Guile for a lot longer than I have Gouken, so I suppose there's that.
