In Capcom VS SNK 2, Blanka believes he is being flown home, but is actually tricked into becoming an attraction at a zoo.
In Street Fighter 4, Blanka's Rival is El Fuerte.
Blanka is a fighter in the Street Fighter series. He can be easily recognized by his distinctive green skin and orange hair.
Blanka is a green ape-like fighter from Brazil. He is considered savage having grown up in the jungle, and his fighting style reflects this. Blanka arrived in the jungle after a plan crash seperated him from his mother. Blanka raised himself in the wild, but also has connections to the local village. His skin is traditionally green with bright orange hair sprouting from his body. Blanka is best known for his electric abilities which distinguish him from the other characters in the Street Fighter games.Street Fighter II Ending
After defeating M. Bison, a lady walks out onto the floor and asks Blanka if he is her long lost son. The lady explains that her son, Jimmy, was lost in a plane crash over Brazil. Suddenly, she sees Blanka's anklet, which she recognizes to be a birthday present she gave Jimmy. Blanka then hugs her and they both start crying.
Characteristics
- One easily recognizable feature of Blanka is his green colored skin. He hasn't always been like this. His in-game story tells that at one point his skin was extremely pale, leading to him being nicknamed el hombre blanco (white man). One explanation of his green coloured skin is his regular intake of chlorophyll through plants, as it would help him to blend better with the jungle environment. In time, his skin eventually turned fully green.
- As a fighter, he has been recognized as a self-taught Savate fighting style. The USA division of Capcom has however depicted his fighting style as Capoeira.
- He has been known to have not spoken a single word, instead using several yells and growls. Though, in a few iterations of the series, the post-fight scenes have shown him using actual words to declare victory.
- Blanka is capable of channelling electricity through his body, which will stun other fighters if they make contact with him. Blanka's other moves involve spins and rolls to batter the enemy into submission. Blanka is also renowned for his beast-like fangs, which he uses to chomp the heads of enemy fighters.
