Blanka (or at least his Story costume) is welcomed to Street Fighter V via the #BlankaChan meme

Before Blanka was in Street Fighter V, he was in #BlankaChan.

Blanka Story Mode

Blanka — for better or worse — arrives in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition today, once the server maintenance is completed. The spark-blasting furball has already gotten a big social media boost in advance of his in-game arrival, thanks to his goofy/adorable/terrifying plushie Story mode costume! Twitter users immediately started putting plush Blanka into all sorts of settings, their hilarious results grouped under the #BlankaChan hashtag (before, and after @StreetFighter actually provided the .png to play with). We’re sharing some of our favorites below; while you wait for that patch to download, have a good chuckle at what fans have been doing with Blanka’s crazy costume (and a bit of Photoshop).

Have fun with Blanka tonight, everyone!

Dragon Ball FighterZ roundup: Gohan 4-way mix-ups, assist rankings, and more!

It’s another day in West City, and that means we’ve received more Dragon Ball FighterZ video submissions! We have some interesting exploration with auto-combos as reset tools, and various mechanic breakdowns to round out today’s post. Let’s jump in!

Starting us off, BlaQNYC Vids shows off the 4-way mix-up potential of Kid Gohan’s auto-combo.

HapkidoRed sent in two massive Cell combos (and one Goku Black, because, you know. Everyone has a Goku Black.)

Speaking of Cell, rooflemonger gives us a breakdown of his many perfect moves…

… and he’s provided a thoughtful breakdown on the strengths and weaknesses of each assist.

He’s also broken down the mix-up situation that occurs after 16 lands his light command grab: helpful to know for those playing as — and fighting against — the robo-grappler.

Y. Xiao shows off some on-point Piccolo combos, including Hell Zone loops and a few 100% combos.

If that wasn’t enough Namekian for you, Adriano Lopes has his own takes on Hell Zone useage.

Get your squad ready, because everyone on the team is involved in ArcBueno‘s Ginyu combo video.

As always, if you see anything worth sharing, let us know by submitting a tip for our next roundup. Thanks everyone!
