Here’s some vids of zangief I found on youtube, from none other than darksydephil.

He’s no ultradavid or itibashi, but he’s got some good mixups and mind games.

39 matches in total:

ughhh. I can’t stand it when this guy talks…

I know, it’s annoying, but I learnt a couple things from him: l.greenhand + SPD --> repeat until opponent wises up and dodges the grab. lol.

I’d love to whoop his ass if I meet him online. Just maybe.

I’m sure if you win, it’ll be because of your “scrubbiness” and all the random crap scrubs do.

I love how in his mind, people either do “random” scrubby things, or “pattern” scrubby things. So if it’s random, it’s scrubby, if there is a pattern, it’s also scrubby. There’s no way NOT to be a scrub in his eyes. Granted, most of the people he was playing weren’t that great. But it’s online. He needs to show a little humility. I don’t think his gief is all that great either. He’s just spamming ppp lariat a lot of times. He even opens with EX hand. I guess his rationale would be that he knows they’re “scrubs” so he can get away with that.

Yeah, I noticed he did the “panic lariat” a lot when he was losing then he’d be like “OMG WTF IT NO PUNISH SCRUB DIE SCRUB DIE”

lariats are perhaps the worst way to punish, either do s.hk or green hand (EX preferebly).

At least he can pull off a SPD without jumping.

Darksydephil ain’t too bad with Zangief.

hey can i get some tips on making my gief better. i mained him at the fight it out II tournament in chicago. i tied for 9th at the tournament and it was a big ass turnout (51 people) anyway can some on give me some advice on thing i need to work on as you can see i have a big problem against sagat

Yeah, against the sagat I noticed he beat you pretty hard with standing HK.

You need to learn to use jab SPD to grab him in the middle of his kick, as his kick actually extends his hitbox nearer to you. Use jab SPD because it has the better range.

Also, one of the most underused moves ever, jumping midkick, beats sagat’s standing HK if you can pull it off before he does.

Otherwise, your gief is pretty good.

stop random green handing…its horribly unsafe on block and ur basically saying ‘give me the combo of death!’ it may work vs scrubs who dont know what theyre doing (as evident vs the bison) and dont randomly lariat after a gh…u will get beat…

and all the sagat literally did was s hk…all u had to do was j mk early to stuff it then kill his ass…

ur a decent gief that still has alot to learn and prolly not enuf stand up competition to learn from ur mistakes…which leads to bad habits

ohh ok thanks for the advice. i never noticed how much i green hand. i see i do it alot now and will try to fix that.

well i was doing ex green hand against sagat hoping that his hk would miss and i get a knock down and free crossup. but as you can see i missed timed everything and died with one move.

i had no idea that jumping mk would stop his st hk or that i can spd him in the middle of his hk. thanks so much for telling me this. also i heard his df hk can go under sagat’s st hk. is this true?

i when i get the knock down from a spd i would jab green hand and either lariat or do another spd. i was told that lariat would hit characters that jump back after knock down. and i thought the lariat would stop bison’s head stomp and devils reverse on wakeup. please let me know if this is wrong so i can change it

again thanks Duncaaaaan and godamn projectiles. i will try to put more vids of me up from the tourney if my friend still has them.

Uhh against Sagat im pretty sure you do not jump at all unless he’s knocked down and you’re setting up a crossup. You really have to wait for standing HK to whiff and do downforward HK or green hand to punish it. Don’t do greenhand or standing HK to move in. You have to walk.

lariat wont beat ex headstomp or dr since it has invincible start up frames but the general consensus of when u do a jab spd is to gh then either block meaty spd or meaty cr lk or even cr jab not lariat because alot of the top chars have moves that beat lariat clean like ryu dp viper hp thunder knuckle sagats dp and so on…its better to do meaty spd sometimes as a mix up but other than that ur better off doing a cr lk or cr jab or something else

id suggest looking through the character matchup thread thats a sticky for more info on eac char and what beats what

Top 8 match from the Neo Empire nationals last week-end. Gief vs honda:

[media=youtube]BMmVkz6KWhw&feature=channel"[/media]

The quality of this video is amazing. Do you know what system they played on?

It was on 360, capture in HD…somehow.

Shame the quality of the gief doesn’t match.

They were playing on the 360. The video of the finals has the “Please Reconnect controller” message come up wheh the loser disconnects his stick.

that gief mustve been a rookie…made alotta mistakes and ddnt even learn to punish blocked headbuts with ex gh…he kept tryn to bait a spd with st hk and got ex hbed out of it…3-4x…apparently he has short term memory…he had life lead and kept jumpin in to honda and got busted by the ultra…smh

I’m was more than a bit astounded that gief made top 8, so I thought I’d post the video to actually see if it was just me who could spot all these mistakes he seemed to be making.
