"For Mother Russia!" Zangief Video Thread

Crossroads 2, Crossroads 2 leveluplive on USTREAM. Gaming Entertainment

Interesting Vance vs a relative Abel unknown. Abel took the W, but close match. Man I’m telling you Abel players have really stepped up their game vs Gief. Good commentary by Chen/Ultra D before match start at 1.55

I think a little of it is us Giefs getting lazy against Abels.

Man the twins ability to build meter with whiffed palms is re phucking tarded. Good shit n-e-ways

thanks that was the 1st time i faced a yang tho. i wont be getting caught with those mix ups again

i’m sorry but the more i see the new ex.gh the more retarded it seems. also it initially seems to me like makoto was overbuffed. she goes from bottom tier to top, wtf?

Yeah, zangief is a worse character overall but he will probably get higher on the list overall due to general nerfs or at least I hope so. What is bothering me is that he doesnt seem as interesting and fun as super gief… No one seems to be using his new u2 also, wasn’t it suposed to be very good now?

well, the makoto match could have been a super match because the buffs she got didnt really affect that video too much.

Does anyone have matches of high level giefs against blanka?

I honestly would have preferred an armor breaker or a cancel to the running bear grab… Also WTF do the twins build super so damn fast BS…

I’ve gotten MUCH better after this video.

And people still think exgh was buffed? It seems gief is almost always on the losing end after that exchange.

If Zangief loses, isnt that just the player who is unable to make good reads?

I mean, for instance. After SPD in Super, and u do a banishing flats up to the opponen
using s.mp is SAFE from all moves that arent totally invu. It will trade with DP, stuff jump, and create blockstring on block. Are you saying that you are to close to throw out s.mp after EXGH?

True didn’t think the Makoto buffs would make the match-up like this also I feel they want to make Gief a one dimensional and we all know how that worked out… (points at T. Hawk)

How many frames does it put you after hit because i saw a vid in which an Ibuki mashed her DP after EXGH on hit, Plus a friend of mine told me that after a gief got him with EXGH against his Guile he managed to get a u1 on him after (Now this one I’m still calling shenaningans on have to get more info on that.) So far the safest option is to block which can easily lead to them escaping starting
the whole chase again.

I’m curious has Vangief played AE?

do makotos normals do more damage than giefs now lol? she’s just flat out stupid now and like trini said, where are all the people that said ex.gh is a huge buff? after an spd it’s like u can’t do shit now other than guess.

Well they did buff up her specials also those Giefs were getting outpoked and out footsied… It sucks how when they did hit it there was no reward for getting in sigh. All the ones who said buff where non Gief mainers who thought increased SPD range was the upside.
