Street Fighter II V came out in 1995 AFTER the Street Fighter 1994 film came out. Street Fighter (1994) decided to go away from the TITLE MOLD for the G.I. Joe mold. There were Street Fighter toys by Hasbro at that time too. I was thinking that the 1994 film actually failed to incorporate Blanka in a MEANINGFUL way. The Street Fighter II Anime chose not to feature him, T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and E. Honda for a reason.
The movie plot had Blanka as Charlie Blanka -- a combination of Charlie Nash and Blanka. However, the GAME has him as Jimmy. I felt that Blanka could've been added into the Dictator's list of Super Soldier projects that could easily fit into the final scene. What if the Dictator decided to use Jimmy as a super soldier that would be forced to fight Ryu and Ken towards the finale? This would prove the Dictator to be someone who plays the deadly game of humanity against the heroes.
My plot is that the use of Hadou to purge Blanka's mind rage. Blanka could be used as a plot to show the Dictator's lack of ethics. Sure, Blanka should survive and get reunited with his mother. I felt Blanka could've been used as a plot device to show how far the Dictator is willing to go.
