**Blanka** is a electricifing feral *Street Fighter* from Brazil.

## Background

As a child, Jimmy was a normal brazilian pale boy on his way home, until the plane flight he was on somehow came crashing down. Good news he was the sole survivor of the crash, bad news, he was now stranded in the Amazon Jungle. To survive Jimmy camouflaged himself with the plants and apparently have Electric eels as his primary food source. After many years, his skin absorbed enough chlorophyll to turn a permanent green hue and somehow gained the abilitiy to produce and control electricity, as well as gained a new name from battle numerous wildlife predators, Blanka.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Electric Thunder:** Blanka crouches and conducts electricity through his body, zapping opponents that come in contact. The EX version deals more damage, has higher reach and lasts longer.
* **Beast Roll/Rolling Attack:** Blanka curls himself into a ball shape and rockets toward the opponents while spinning through the air. The EX version is faster and allows Blanka to go through normal projectiles without being stunned. Alternatively, on top of the previously mentioned properties, the EX version can feature a second, grounded Rolling Attack that connects immediately after the first.
* **Vertical Roll:** Blanka curls himself into a ball shape and suddenly somersaults in a diagonally up-forward trajectory. Blanka can also travel vertically upward. The EX version is faster. Alternatively, the EX version can feature a final double-handed swipe.
* **Backstep Roll:** Blanka somersaults back, lands on his hands and uses them to push himself upward into the air, hitting airborne and grounded opponents. The EX version is faster.
* **Wild Hunt:** Blanka mounts on top of his opponent and delivers a barrage of claw slashes to their face. Finally Blanka tosses them into the ground. The EX version features an additional slash at the end.
* **Lightning Mole:** Blanka envelops himself in electricity and disappear into the ground before emerging in a pillar of lightning, taking the opponent with him. The EX version adds a fierce headbutt at the end.
* **Lightning Grenade:** Blanka leaps forward, delivering a headbutt, then stomps his fists into the ground to create a shockwave and send the opponent flying. Blanka finishes with a powerful Electric Thunder and a mighty roar.
* **Amazon River Run:** Blanka crouches low to the ground and performs a stretching slide on his back, reaching his arms out and lunging at his opponent's ankles with his fists out in front.
* **Rock Crusher:** Blanka raises his head and bashes his skull downward on top of his opponent.
* **Raging Bash:** Blanks delivers a double-knee strike on the opponent and kicks their chin, launching them in the air If the second attack hits, the kick launches his opponent in the air. He finishes by jumping and sending his opponent into the ground.
* **Surprise Forward:** Blanka quickly leaps forward, getting around the opponent if close enough.
* **Surprise Back:** Blanka quickly leaps back.
* **Wild Fang:** Blanka grasps his opponent's shoulders and bites into their neck four times. Finally, Blanka back flips off of his opponent, kicking them in the chin with both feet.
* **Jungle Wheel:** Blanka grabs his opponent and performs a backflip, still holding on to his opponent's body. He then extends his legs out and kicks his opponent to the opposite side.
* **Focus Attack:** A heavy move that grants an augmented defense to the user during the execution and, if it lands, makes the opponent crumple.
* **Tropical Hazard:** Blanka jumps upward and clings onto the ceiling. He then furiously shakes it, causing fruit to rain down, and shoots himself shoulder-first towards the opponent. As a side effect of this attack, two watermelons are left on the ground, which Blanka can use as projectiles.
* **Ground Shave Roll:** Blanka curls himself into a ball shape and rolls forward to hit the opponent harder than normal.
* **Lightning Cannonball:** Blanka electrifies himself, then somersaults into a rolled-up position on the ground and charges toward the opponent.
* **Shout of Earth:** Blanka releases the electricity in a vertical column which can hit airborne opponents. On the other hand, Blanka pounds the ground while discharging electricity, thus causing standing opponents to be electrocuted.
* **Dynamic Rolling:** Blanka delivers a powerful slash. Blanka then handsprings into the air and follows up with three, bouncing Rolling Attacks on top of his opponent. After making them bounce on the third hit, he transitions into a rolled-up position on the ground, charges up his entire body with electricity, and rolls across the stage. As his opponent falls, Blanka crashes with full force into their back, causing them to bounce off of the wall.
* **Quick Rolling:** After blocking an attack, Blanka performs a stationary Rolling Attack that knocks his opponent backwards.
* **Anaconda's Maw:** Blanka quickly dashes backwards to dodge an incoming attack and replies with a powerful strike with both hands, hitting the opponent before they are able to react and knocking them down.
* **Coward Crouch:** Blanka drops down to a prone position, dodging incoming attacks. He can also perform two moves after:
	+ **Wild Lift:** Blanka swings his paws in an upward motion, launching the opponent into the air.
	+ **Raid Jump:** Blanka performs a high, forward leap toward his opponent. He can also deliver attacks during the jump.
* **Jungle Dynamo:** Blanka surges his entire body with electricity, enhancing his Special Attacks.
	+ **Ground Shave Roll:** A weaker version of the homonym Super Attack, to which Blanka gains access with Jungle Dynamo. This move can also be charged, channeling electricity in it.
* **Lightning Beast:** Blanka ruthlessly pounds his chest as legs surge with electricity. He gains access to a new move:
