Blanka's level 2 super art in Street Fighter 6, Lightning Beast, is an install super that effectively functions as a V-Trigger from Street Fighter 5. It's often said that this level 2 super art is one of the best supers in the game.

Ed falls from top ranks, but how far? Street Fighter 6 April popularity stats
Relative to the two DLC characters before him, Ed made quite the splash when he dropped into Street Fighter 6 back at the end of February. When we finally got the popularity statistics for his first full month of March, the newcomer had shot to the top of the charts at almost every level of play.
