Blanka is a bit of a Wildman. When it comes to Blanka Street Fighter 6 lore, he’s an adventure tour guide with an intimate knowledge of his jungle home. He’s trying to use these skills in navigating a harsh environment to find fame as a Street Fighter, and win a better life for his mother.
In terms of the ongoing lore, Blanka in Street Fighter 6 is coming from a similar position to other long-standing characters. Kind of like Guile in Street Fighter, he’s got decades of video game appearances influencing his character here! Blanka is a green-skinned man who competes in the World Warrior tournaments. This is the spark for his mother to reconnect with Blanka, recognising him from an anklet originating before Blanka was lost in a plane crash over the jungle!
His power often involves some of his innate abilities, which includes being able to make electricity! In the games since, Street Fighter’s Blanka has moved around quite a bit, and even become slightly more civilized. That’s where we jump back in for Street Fighter 6.

Heading into Street Fighter 6, a few characters have their full movesets out there. We’re pretty familiar with the Ryu Street Fighter 6 moveset at this point. The Blanka Street Fighter 6 moveset has a few gaps right now though, especially in stats as we haven’t had too much data from the finished product yet. We do know quite a few of his moves though.
There are some key missing areas so far in the frame data. Specifically in the Super Arts and other high-level moves. We’ll have more info once we can really crack into things like damage numbers and frame data though. In the meantime, there is a decent showcase of the Blanka Street Fighter 6 moves so far.
Blanka is Street Fighter 6 has the potential to be a character used at the very highest level. At launch ,he could rocket up the Street Fighter 6 tier list! If you want to improve your own gameplay, the top pro players are going to be a great resource.
These are some of the top Blanka street Fighter players in past events, that are good faces to watch for early Blanka tips.
Blanka wasn’t the most popular in Street Fighter V. The latest game could definitely change that though, so he’s worth putting some time into.

Blanka was lost over the jungle as a child, and grew up there isolated in the wilderness. After the attack, he got attacked by electric eels which for some reason gave him the powers of electricity and changed his skin color.
Blanka isn’t really a villainous figure in Street Fighter, more a victim of circumstance which has given him a villainous appearance. Since his background is less anatomist than characters like Cammy though, he’s had less opportunities for that kind of thing.
He’s more of a supporting character than a true hero, but he’s definitely a good guy compared to some in the cast.
He’s a human! Just one that got a bit transformed to make him look less than human.
