    Awooo! Awooo! The Electric Amazonian with skin of green and a heart of gold makes his triumphant return to the world stage. Capcom did us a solid this time with an immediate blog post detailing his latest iteration, so less space to speculate, but he looks just as annoying as I'd have hoped, and it's pleasantly surprising to see them releasing characters at a quicker rate this time around. Who knows, maybe we'll even have Sagat playable before EVO?

    • cHP being a CC button is very funny to me
    • Slide seems less obnoxious booo
    • Getting followups after coward crouch is interesting
    • Hop is back! Looks annoying as ever!
    • Giving him a weird turn-stealing command grab feels like the most Blanka thing they could have done honestly
    • I'm hoping there's an alternate input for electric, I'm bad at button-mash specials
    • cHK looks fair?

    Woop Blanka time! Links off of cMK! Congrats everyone who didn't buy SFV, now you never have to ;)
