Please show me where is his resistance to steel or electricity? And let's not forget that Pikachu can summon lightning from the sky which is a far faster and higher voltage that can instantly kill someone.

Agreed, they ignored Paralysis, which is a huge game changer. Also, if you'll notice Pikachu's speed was 307 in the first video and it lowered by about ten in this one.

I agree, Pikachu is one of the more overpowered pokemons (as far as the anime is concerned), I'll admit that my knowledge of Blanka is weak, but he takes normal damage from electric attacks in every game I've played at least, which means his resistance to electricity is minimal at best, one thunderbolt and Blanka would be knocked out cold or dead

I’ve played Street Fighter since the very first game back in the arcades. Blanka has evolved as times passed by but one thing was always clear, HE WAS HUMAN. He did not have super strength nor does he have fangs or claws but human teeth and nails that can break easily given his likely poor hygiene from living in the jungle. He is very VERY slow when walking which is why he relies on his spin attack for fast movement. This however makes him vulnerable in an analytical scenario because it would make his dizzy if used to often. He also had NO ELECTRIC RESISTANCE. That is something we find in electric type Pokémon but not humans like Blanka. And Iron Tail can break solid stone, there is no resistance to that attack from Blanka’s side. It seems like they didn’t put too much effort into this fight. Almost like they rushed to make this one and delayed the release date so they could start working on the next one. It’s a bit of a slap to the face to the fans in my opinion.

I kind of feel like this battle was just done for the hilarity of Blanka eating Pikachu, it just doesn't work for me due to the impossibility of Blanka getting that far.
Oh well, guess all shows have some bad episodes, even my favorite show (Doctor Who) has s some absolutely horrendous episodes that makes fanboys completely ignore them and count them as noncanon to the series.

Yeah this episode seemed to lack some proper attention to details and facts.

Now it begins, the greatest shitstorm of our time.
And I'm diving right into it.

Bullshit! Iron Tail is weak against Electric Type Pokemon, not electricity itself. And Blanka isn't a Pokemon, last I checked.
ChillyFreezer
Thank you! Blanka has a normal human skull. One that is weak against an attack that can break stone. Blanka also had NO ELECTRIC RESISTANCE. And his spin attacks is his ONLY fast attack making it predictable while leaving Blanka dizzy and open to a counter attack. Oh well, it’s not the first time they neglect information while overpowering other.

Are, are you serious? Did you not listen to blanka's analysis? They clearly said he had electric resistance and besides, this is a case of raiden vs thor. Both do electric damage so electricity is basically useless, it will all come down to strength, stamina, and speed. the one who has 2 or more of the three will be the victor and blanka has strength and stamina. Pikachu is fast but it doesn't have any strength. You can hit a wet noodle against a rock all you want but it won't do anything.
