How do you counter Blanka rolls with Ryu?

[lanepi]

Hi All,

I've been coming across quite a few Blanka's but I couldn't work out how to counter his rolling ball mainly the ground version. I tried all sorts of things and when I search online the one's they give is using Ryu's critical art. But is there anything else other than that?

I also know the other way is to parry but it;s a bit too difficult for me plus it's quite risky if it doesn't reach Ryu.

For the Air version I might be wrong but a DP doesn't seem to be a reliable counter (I usually get hit or trade hits.

Can someone give me some tips on going up against a blanka. I tried neutral jumps but end up getting hit one way or another. Blanka spacing seems quite awkward to me but I do think the main trouble is because it's rare to come across and fight one of the blanka's.

For some further details I almost always use Ryu's V-trigger 2. I tried parrying but it's really hard to determine the blanka balls.

Thanks in advance

Either super or dashup lk. Try it out in training mode if you have him. The light ball is the one that bounces back the most.
