(very raw, post in progress…)
*I might do a section for Zangief, then A-Gief, then X-Gief, then V-Gief…thinking about if this is a good idea or not
[The SFZ3/SFA3 Zangief Thread]
Key:
s. = standing
c. = crouching
j. = jumping
dmg = damage
fr.= frames (time it takes for a move to come out)
qc = quarter circle (down to forward or down to back)
dp = dragon punch motion (forward to down to down and forward)
[] = usually includes the respective ism(s) inside
(Joystick Notation)

Normals:
*I’m doing this with A-ism Gief; I know x-ism normals are stronger (?) and v-ism normals are weaker (?), so I will note the differences in dmg if there are any when I can later…I’m on xbox right now (won’t mention version), but there is no training mode, so I will just note the range on each normal until I can do this later

vs Match-Ups:
*ok, this is what I will do. Kumadaru has 200+ Gief vids in his Youtube collection. A lot of these show Gief vs various characters…so I will organize them that way. I may take some of the vids from below as well and put them here, since it may lead to a better organization. I may just notate which ism is being used by doing [A/V/X] next to the link w/ the player’s name…actually, after seeing a pattern, let’s assume all the players are unknown unless I note otherwise (few of these have player names, if any)
**i’m just doing his 1st page today, as I can’t just watch videos alone and improve my gief

(I wonder why I don’t see T. Hawk and Fei Long on Megura’s character list? I remember someone mentioning they are in a certain A3 version…)
