"For Mother Russia!" Zangief Video Thread

when I say cr lk is almost your only tool, I mean in vanilla
that makes the game still 5:5
But in super , that tool is lost, that’s why I say it’s amost 7:3 now.

magus123 didnt do very well in that match. even let vangief get on blocked greenhand to ultra. you wont see this in really top chunli play
Also too many unsafe moves. and basically he let zangeif crossup him for free on wakeup. I dont know why, that zangief is using u1 not u2.

I was kinda wondering about that too, but then I saw what he could do with it. If I could pull off Ultra 1 like he can, I think I’d use it for EVERY matchup.

Whats up, I’m a viper looking for a good gief matchup, add me if you can help.

Stop with the lariats, for the love of jebus! Trust me, I know it’s f’ing tempting to toss them out mid-screen to potentially screw over a chun using that flip kick thing. You did that a couple of times, and it worked, but you got hosed the other 50 times. Remember, you have a ton of health, you can withstand the block damage. Think of this match more like how you would if you went up against Guile, and you’ll see what you’re doing wrong. The big difference between those two matches is that you can actually EX GH chun mid-screen on reaction to projectiles and actually land it. Beyond that, when I saw how many times you just let her wake up and spam out c.lk b/c you feared the EX SBK. Gotta learn the timing on the safe c.lk my man. If you throw that out so you can land it on the last active frame as chun wakes, you’ll be safe from ex sbk if you’re set to block (free spd after that). If chun did nothing on wake but block/jump, you’ll hit it one way or the other. From there you have your usual options. One thing you could risk is a meaty normal throw. It’s only 3-frame startup, so they’d have to tech it or jump. If they jump straight up, you have a c.lariat for when they come down. I know, this is a crappy option if they decide to ex sbk, but it’s better than getting hit by all those c.lk > ex lightning > u2.

Also, a blocked flip kick is a free spd :slight_smile:

hey guys got bored today and just thought, i would bring gief’s kara cancel ultra into play, it’s few failed attempts but, i wonder how practical this could be, if there’s a easier input for it… well, check it out , the one for abel is pretty god like… but it’s just a guess but a flashy ass guess at that lol . but i would not recommend EVER IN A HIGH LEVEL MATCH GOING FOR THIS SHIT … NOT EVEN IF THE GUY AS 0.1% HEALTH LEFT… HIGH RISK… FLASHY LOW REWARD. But you will get props from everyone for pulling this off. The level of difficulty is fucking insane. ok enough talking .

You are making this move harder than it really is. All you need to do is 720 3K~3P.

ok how about you go and make and video and show us how easy it is… you make it seem like it’s a walk in the park to do it. If so, don’t you think high level players would be doing lol … damn these srk giefs… man i tell you. Please show us, oh great one… and show what characters it actually works on because, i have yet to see anyone try it on the moves that i tried it on.

Show what you know or get blown up lol

Ya I always though this was pretty cool. People were doing this back before SSF4 though. Really the difficulty isn’t thaaaat crazy. High risk as fuuuk though.

What interest me is if you could do it with U2 like you were saying, that would be so crazy.

I’m about to play a ft10 against a french guile here: Versus Fighting TV on USTREAM: All Versus Fighting Games Streaming.

Comments welcome.

i tuned in when it was 5-1 guile and that was just painful to watch. such a ridiculously hard and frustrating matchup. that guy was pretty solid.

Just finished recording the videos, will upload part 1 tonight, part 2 tomorrow.

Saw this pretty funny. Why not to throw random taunts. Props to worst.

Here’s me zangitrolling some gief and then the next match running a vortex on a guile. 2 double perfects in a row.

[extra dickish sentence removed] It’s neat that you got some perfects out of this guy, but The video itself isn’t really worth posting. I’m not trying to be a dick I just don’t think your 18000 BP Zangief did anything noteworthy given the opposition.

Meh this thread isn’t for extremely high level tourney Gief play

Got a vid of you playing Gief? You think it’s relevant?

post it, why not
