How to Use
Corner doll setups
High (overhead)
- 6MP at the earliest opportunity
Low
- Forward-step → 2MK
Cross-up
- Forward-step → delayed → 6KKK
Throw option
- During SA2, Aerial Rolling Attack → fastest throw
Command grab option
Chip damage option
- HP → 214P → HP → [4]6HP
- Continuous guard (blockstring)
How to Counter
Once the doll is triggered, Blanka immediately applies overhead/low/cross-up mix-ups, dealing 2000–3000 damage before resetting the doll. Overhead into low after Electric Thunder guard is a true blockstring. The command grab option catches neutral jumps.

Recommended counters
Easy counter Even if you just block, your Drive Gauge drains rapidly — even surviving the full sequence often leaves you near Burnout. The recommended option is to hold Parry and accept a potential counter-hit throw.
Unless SA2 is active, Blanka cannot reset the doll from a counter-hit throw — so just accept the throw and transition to the easier throw-tech situation. Sometimes accepting the loss is the right call.
Advanced counter
- Fuzzy against overhead/low/cross-up
- The timing of overhead, low, and cross-up all differ, so fuzzy defense is possible
- The order is: overhead → low → cross-up
- Start with stand-guard → switch to crouch-guard then press throw — this covers all options, and if it's a cross-up the throw may connect
- Throw timing is tight so you need a bit of luck
Command grab counter
- After the doll is placed, do not neutral jump — the command grab will catch you
