Is it me or is it much harder to link ex green hand or reg green hand from standing or crouching lk?
510 damage in the corner with 1 EX… Jump hp, cl.mp xx exGH,cl.mp,cl.mp,cl.mk xx lariat… You can switch after lariat
If i switch in zangief… Cl.mp,mp,mk,hk… If in corner = cl.mp,cl.mp,cl.mk xx lariat.
awesome tips thanx, and i what he mean by question 2 is.
after he launchs them with his 123, can gief combo his cross assault. (the super move that cost all 3 meters and pulls out your partner)
im da gief he mentioned
Felt the need to post this here…Why is zangief always a villain in any media outside the video games?
it just seems weird he’s more of a hero in the actual games yet he’s always portrayed as some savage brute working for the forces of evil in movies and cartoons
(In The Upcoming Disney animated movie Wreck it Ralph he makes a cameo appearance alongside bowser and eggman as part of a villains support group…)
because he looks like an escaped animal rapist?
can you spd after rolentos rekka? ive been doing that all day but i dont want to set myself up for failure later on…
I think that kinda stuff wont be for definite until the frame data is uploaded.
Also…i love gief 
So I got the game today and although I said I’d stick to Ryu and Ken to learn the fundamentals, I just couldn’t keep myself away from the Red Cyclone for too long.
I’m finding it very hard to transition, though. He builds meter painfully slow and he clearly needs it for EX GH.
Quick lariat getting stuffed by fireballs, EX GH with no invincibility, lariat only hitting on one side, SPD being slow. There’s a hell of a lot to get used to.
While hitting them away with lariat sort of sucks, it’s nice to smash them back into the corner.
Those who have been playing a few days, what do you think of him so far? I know it’s early but I’m sure everyone’s noticed a few things. The Super through a fireball was a great tip.
I actually dropped gief from my main team, but I still think he’s pretty cool. Running bear grab is buffed a great deal from SF4, having armor and being chargeable is a pretty big deal. It’s also worth noting his alpha counter is one of the best in the game, since it does EX green hand, giving you a ground bounce. I’m not sure if any other characters can combo off their ACs without a tag cancel, but most can’t.
Holy FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKK Zangief is ripped as SHIT in this game he is fucking AMAZING!!!
In addition to retaining all of his advantages from SSF4 he gets a ton of crazy new stuff as well.
The range on his grabs is WAAAAAAAY bigger and his RBG is insane since it can be charged up and gets a hit of super armor if you do charge it.
Jab SPD is enormous, RBG runs INCREDIBLY fast and he will go into the full super animation from jab SPD distance. His super is a combination of RBG and FAB (think like his Marvel vs. Capcom version of FAB) except he runs INCREDIBLY fast and will even traverse the entire screen. Once they’re in the range denoted by jab SPD he goes into the full super animation. Plus he has ridiculously easy 40% combos. I am in love.
i think gief is really good…i would say the only character im having a hard time with is juri even rolento isnt that huge of a problem for me right now…
I am having problems with cody… But i think mk buffed with sweep is the key… Pls give me tips or make a matchup thread. Ty
This is the Street Fighter X Tekken subforum, you want the SSF4 subforum.
running bear grab is the best move in the game.
that’s a pretty big statement care to back it up?
Spds have different start up, lp being the fastest and rbg all are have the same start up.
i’m having a lot of fun using Lariat as a lockdown and tag cancelling in Rufus for all kinds of stupid mixups. That team is dumb broken if you use Rufus to get in and then tag to Zangief.
me and a steve fox player on my friend list went on a 30 game ranked streak… i open he anchors with the better tag damage. i’ll put a some stuff in the video thread soon. nothing groundbreaking , just me playing.
Just got the game, started using Gief who I know a good amount from SF4 and picked Rolento because he seems simple for a beginner. I’m curious as to what I can do when I tag each of them in whether it be through a launcher or through the 1 bar cancel. Seems like cl mp mp mk hk whiffs when I tag Gief in at the end of patriot circles.
Should I start Gief first on this team?
What are some pokes that are good that can be linked into combos, tags or launchers?
What does Gief spend most his meter on? EXGH, SPDs, Supers?
Thanks for any help,
