I Can't With Blanka...

.. He litterally is the worst to play against. Ugh!

You probably need more practice and matchup knowledge, what's your character against him?

This blanka is probably more fair than any other version of him tbh, he is surprisingly honest by comparison. I hated him in IV, but I actually like him in V.

It's still really early, but this is pretty apt. He usually isn't top tier, and I really don't think this version will be any higher.

This version is alot more honoust and is easilly frame trapped becaus he doesnt have a 3 frame normal. Only revearsel he has is ex up ball. Presure him and attack the rainbow ball while he's still in the air and vulnrabul.

Watch the matches against KuBo this may give you some ideas, which you can implement into your personal game style.

Yeah, if your character has good anti-airs. You're solid.

This.
It's actually not that difficult to beat Blankas. The only two Blankas I've lost since the character's release, one was pure lag and the other was a very good player.

But, in general, all you need to do(OP), if you find him hard to win, is wait for him to attack you, defend, punish. His moves are very punishable. I don't know which character you play, but for me, for instance, I use Kolin and to punish Blanka's horizontal ball, I only defend it and counter with her v-skill. But you can Hadouken with the Shotos, for instance, and so on.

His command grab ;_;
I find it harder to react to it than Birdie's

He poses less of a threat the more I play against him.
