- Blanka's aerial fierce CAN hit Balrog's uppercut, but only if Blanka
- hits the fierce early. Usually you can trade damage and win, but if he
- hits you without you hitting him, then you can easily get the headbutt
- when he lands since he hit the fierce too early and is vulnerable. The
- headbutt will do more damage then Blanka's aerial fierce, and you can
- immediately ready a windup punch and take off a bit more. Also, the
- Blanka always seems to be attracted to BaIrog
- s headbutt like a magnet. The sac headbutt works unbelievable well on
- Blanka, but not so well on the rest of the characters. Now that I think
- about it, it might require some timing with your rushing uppercut to get
- into position to headbutt. Ideally, I think, you want to do the
- uppercut either while he's on the way up or at or near the peak of his
- jump, that way he MUST hit a button early if he wants to hit you, in
- which case he's dead when he comes down. Some times you slide under
- Blanka, then of course, you should be able to get the headbutt off.
