wtf i forgot what dimension i was in to even come up with this.
in other news, I FELL BACK ON THE WAGON
Gief/Psy Guard Break:
Snap out or kill a character, jumping LP + call Psy, j.LP, Psy hits, land, Lariat Infinite
I don’t know why it took me so long to find this. Takin a breather was good, findin all kinds of newness now.
…
sounds mean…
I don’t know where my brain was for years… but I recently discovered how wonderfully his command air grab (f,d,f+k) cancels to lk lariat… even if blocked its xx banishing fist (which also gets blocked) xx FAB… loving it… tho my gief still isn’t at a point where i can live long enough to get much going w/out sent drones or doom rocks covering his ass…
also found a new love for ground assit… seems to be the perfect thing to do just about anything… most toons can crouch under it and it becomes great anti ait… extends combos and will let you chain just about anything…
one thing i found is that a few years back… before I knew how awesome push blocking is for some characters i could have never handled gief… now tho… everything is slowly becoming clear…
Ground assist when Gief is in Metal mode can be insane too. Nobody is getting any assist through versus that. Maybe Ken AA.
Keep playin Zang he’s mad fun.
heres one… juggs/gief
I call this one the giefcrush… give it a shot…
With juggs on point (hopefully glitched) wait for one of their assists to look vulnerable and headcrush… you’ll nail the assist as always… and their point will block b/c its completely telegraphed…
DHC to gief… final… atomic… bustaaaa! Juggs is so deep when they block headcrush that they just wont be getting away 
Decent opponents will only let you get away with this once in awhile… but damn is it devastating…
what happens if they jump?
not good
If they superjump…then you might get their legs w/the headcrush…
if they normal jump they will fall back down and may well get to blast on gief as he recovers… so by no means a fool proof plan
No I mean, you headcrush DHC FAB, I bet it’s jump-able unfortunately.
Hold straight-up wrecks a lot of Gief stuff, so I try to avoid FAB and go for no-meter BnB combos instead.
fab
To me… fab is all about timing… you are right bout being able to jump the fab after headcrush tho…
I don’t use a lot of fab… but sometimes its perfect… basicly I use it against jumping normals or against people who are coming down from a super jump…
just be on them with FAB so that when their toes touch the ground… you are already there grabbing em up…
I do wish the damn fab was faster… his walk speed is mostly ok… but for some reason gief takes like a full sec to grab even once they are right in front of you…
You can corner lock down against some toons and force them into this move… i killed bone wolvie fallowed by normal wolvie w/out them being able to get out of the corner… just gotta time the jumping lariat properlike.
