how much is the costume DLC ah??

About USD14.99 from Steam.

Can't remember how many GFWL points required.

Should be quite similar to Steam.

plying with darkstalker.. what a close match

Yeah good games

I keep trying to SPD you out of your SPD and your Lariat hehe

It of course failed miserably but still I was gonna try dammit!

wow.. needs points.. and money?

Yes, you would need to buy GFWL points using a credit card or you could get them from Offgamers and other retail shops.

Make sure you have the correct region.

ha?there's a region?
i plan to buy from gamersgate.what region shud i get?

Depends which country you select when you register your GFWL account to (may have changed by now), if UK, it will fall under UK.

where do we check that? GFWL settings is it?

Don't know whether this is the correct way.

I check mine by logging into my GFWL account via GFWL market place.

Then I click on manage payment.

There is a Country / Region tab where you can see which region but you would not be able to change it.

awesome! i'm looking to get the full costume dlc too one of these days.

Got tempted by Chun Li's sexy outfit eh?

LOL.

Hahaha! That and Ibuki's jeans.

Do make sure you get the correct region GFWL points.

Quite a painful experience for me.

I had to write a long email to one of the retailer last time to get a refund which I did.

One question though, if you had to reinstall the game, do you lose the dlc? or is it tied with your GFWL account and still be there?

Tied to your GFWL account.

You won't lose the DLC at all.

Very nice. Thanks!

Yes, your hakan ultra2 can grab blanka when his rainbow roll lands on top of you. Maxster have done it to my blanka b 4.
Surprisingly hakan can deal with blanka pretty well. Just like bison/balrog/honda, hakan can punish blanka's roll
( using oil slide )

Some facts about Blanka's Ultra 1:
1) After the starting ultra animation ends ( especially, when the roll reaches to the max height ), blanka becomes vulnerable.
You can treat blanka's roll as a normal roll at this point. Just make sure your attack have a bit of range and "hide" your "hurtbox" away from his electricity.
Example, guile can c.hp blanka's roll.
( How to do it ? Block down if blanka starts his ultra too near you, as it rolls up, you crouch hard punch and it will hit blanka on his max height of his rainbow roll )

2) Most of the ppl don't really understand how blanka's ultra 1's hitbox works. That's what blanka pros take advantage of that.
Let's me explain the basic of blanka ultra 1's setup first.

If blanka start's his ultra near you, his initial electical blow will hurt you, block down
After his electrical burst, he will do a rainbow roll. If any of the rainbow roll going to touch you, block up.
When the rainbow roll finishes and start to roll of the floor, block down.

During SF4 vanilla time, blanka player have a habit of starting their ultra after a knockdown , near his opponent.
Pro blanka player would know how to time it well. Knockdown the opponent, walk near, ultra. ( You have to do it very fast )
The tricky part is that how do you know where his rainbow roll lands ? in front/top/behind you ?
If you get hurt by his rainbow roll, you will get a knockdown again ( coz his initial electric blow will knockdown you too ).
The safe guideline on how to gauge his landing rainbow roll is to look at his initial electrical blow.
If blanka "stepping" on your foot, it would be a crossup ultra. ( Credit goes to Air's Ryu, korean ryu master, for his findings )

I believe most of the vanilla blanka have drop or use it less of this tactic after the opponent knows how to block.
If you can block blanka's ultra 1, you can punish him back with your own ultra.
If any new blanka players tries this ultra cross up, you know what to do. Good luck ! xD

p/s: I'm not that bad one lar. I give back a bit tips to blanka players too.
Try to look at blanka trials. You can find blanka's ultra combo. Try that instead
Don't do the "doggy crying over the master's death" tactic ^^!!
Don't always try your luck, try confirm hits !
