What makes MenaRD special as a player?
He always seems to win and (more importantly) with a character nobody else in tournaments seem to use.
I see so many other characters in pic related being used a ton like Cammy, Ed and Mai. So I'm assuming they're top tier characters, but only MenaRD uses Blanka.
Is MenaRD a god player?
Is his character Blanka just a top tier that only he can use properly? Does he know something about Blanka that nobody else seems to know?
