"For Mother Russia!" Zangief Video Thread

thanks!
i didnt consider posting these in my opponent’s character’s video forum as well as gouken’s.
i put my ft10 with shizza up in the chun li video thread after seeing this.

Since everyone else is posting vids i thought i would turn on the webcam and capture a few GS matches.

Anyone have any tips let me know.

I need to play more Chuns because I just suck at that match up. Most ones I run into online have rather crappy lag. I tried to friend one that had good connections and he was a solid Chun. But he ignored my request… :frowning:

My Honda match up also needs work. But that’s a different story all together.

Think some of you folks would appreciate a Zangitan vid.

Good stuff.

Hey guys it’s just Yota aka The Prodigy from UK. I decided to post these videos because I guess you guys don’t really get to see the scene in Europe that much, anyways after the big tournament in Cannes Dieminion from the east coast decided to stay in the UK for a bit with his friend so I was lucky enough to play his Guile. I also have two more videos up against a Casino regular and friend F Word Rufus who did exceptionally well in Cannes.

Match 1 vs Dieminion

Match 2 vs Dieminion

Match 1 vs F Word

Match 2 vs F Word

EDIT I have a lot of trouble against Guile

Gief oils up, Jeff takes a tumble

vs Evil Rahsaan (Seth)

Good shit on that fight SSJ taking that seth out I on was on the other side of the screen cheering you on.
I just wanna say I had a great time at my first major at Final Round, It was nice meeting both Vegita-X, and SSJ george bush I love watching both of you guys kick ass. And shouts to Zan never met you but you kicked my teams ass from tampa and played solid through the whole tourney :frowning: I did have my own moments on live stream but I have no footage prob until the DVD comes out. I was the first Zangief from team “Ps3 Sucks” on 3v3s that perfected a seth in 3 moves. It was hype I will try to post the video when it comes available.

I just want to give props to all the giefs that went to final round - sick business. on the stream there must have been like 5 giefs in a row, christmas time for me.

VEGITA-X - you are too sick. Watching your first two games with JWong improved my Rufus matchup approximately 100%. Thanks. I hope they recorded those matches.

Where can we watch these videos?

DDDAAAMMMNNN

Good stuff man, got incredible execution and those combos down

Really like the tick throws after the shorts on Rufus

But yeah Guile is SO frustrating for Gief, not being able to punish boom’s with EX Hand

Regardless, very impressed

Yeah I would like to see these

My man Jan did just as good…until those counter picks I hear…

I just remembered, they are making a DVD of the fights. So we won’t see them for ages, which sucks. I don’t think DVD is the correct delivery format for such events, as it takes too long to produce. We need to get media out as fast as we can. I think I will write an article about this.

Funny

ok… i only watched the second one and i have a few things to say…

round one, you did well. played patiently for the most part.

round two, you baited not one but TWO tiger uppercuts that you punished very poorly… a lariat isnt a punish. you should have done a command grab ( 360k, ultra) or went for a combo but at the very least you should have just done a neutral throw which would have been decent and a hell of a lot better then a lariat in terms of position and damage and meter building.

also after that you score another knock down then go for an empty jump spd… opposed to ultra… if you are going to take that kind of risk… why not go balls out with an ultra?

round 3… dot dot dot :slight_smile:

anybody in here use Elena? :rofl:

Okay guys, i’m posting for a friend here. He played gief in a local tourney we had here in brazil and he placed 4th. He got pretty awesome execution, especially if you consider he’s a happ player and he stick broke minutes before the tourney so he is playing a te for the first time and didnt miss much. I’ll be posting more matches as soon as they’re uplodead. Tips and analysis please

You should tell him to not bother doing hit confirm combos when someone is dizzied. Just do level 3 focus into atomic suplex. It does the most damage and nets you the most meter. Unless you have ultra of course. But don’t level 3 focus when you have ultra. Just do ultra by itself to get max damage.

i garee with crapface. level3 focus to double suplex is best . also tell him to hit training mode more. he dropped a lot of combos and was doing a lot of cr. shorts into ex spd…ultra attempt? i dont know if he kept miss timing the ticks or just messed up the green hand motion.

and his punishes for those headbutts could be better than st strong or lariat.
