you registered 2 months before 09 :rolleyes:
Yea…balrog can just knock zangief out of his lariat everytime with the headbutt, because as expected, headbutt is better than flashkick(who knew?)
And rufs can simply duck and wait and the combo a zangief character with his jabs or kicks, or just go through the thing with EX messiah, and it’ll actually hurt because rufus does really good damage.
Just…making things up
I think the big hitbox has to do with Gief’s size as a sprite.
We should just make Gief smaller.
:rolleyes:
That would be perfect actually. Gief is a freaking monster in SFIV. He was never that big. It’s not just the huge hit box…it’s everything all in one combined to create the monster that is Gief’s lariat. I would deal with the hit box “issue” if the game itself didn’t have so many issues attributing to lariat being a retarted move. If the reversal windows and block stun weren’t so lame it may not be quite as lame but either way lariat doesn’t need that much hitting range. It’s just dumb.
no shit. welcome to scrub city where lariat is safe and needs a nerf.
lol. Yeah because wheel kick punishes lariat on block ALL THE TIME.
:lame:
what’s with the 09ers crap…? does being on this forum late mean im a noob…? if you have to know, i’ve been playing SF since 1999… so does that make me 9 years better than you…? i didn’t grow up googling to look for shoryuken.com… i had other online things to do… btw im also signed up to capcom.com early this year but yet i play most of their game growing up so does that mean im a o9er…
i didn’t even say Ken suck… -- i didn’t say anything all… i was saying is Zangief doesn’t need to be nerf down or buff up because his MOVES make him who he is… i said NOOOB LOVE KEN but not EVERYONE is a NOOB who play ken… you’re basically saying EVERY Zangief player is noob…-- stupid go kill yourself you angry child effing 08ers… yes i would love to woop you too
oh btw… i join this forum back in may because i was looking for a place to buy my TE acrylic cover…
Gee enough with the hatin’ on lariat here. This is, after all, a Gief wishlist thread, not “we need to nerf the shit outta his moves” thread.
And who gives a crap about being an 09er??? I’ve played SF since the SFII days. I’m still learning Gief and hey it isn’t easy learning the big man. He’s tough to beat but not impossible at all. With that saying it’s actually HARDER to learn him than beating him. So just like one guy telling me to quit because I keep losing to Guile’s c.rh . . . i’ll tell everyone complaining about his lariat to quit too cuz why ARE you getting hit all the time??
well said 
make zangief grab in the air 
i mean he IS a grab character
All the 09’ers played sfII didn;t you know? Anyway i still like the idea of RBG to have a seth tandem engine effect and do something cool
His RBG gotta be faster. Like i said before I rarely use it and it gets punished so badly.
Yeah RBG needs to be like in HD Remix. It kicked ass.
cr. lk in the corner into RBG all day.
I’m getting hit because the properties of the move are the most retarted they have ever been in a SF game. That’s why I’m picking Sagat against Gief now.
As far as wish list…air 720. Capcom already did a pretty good job of making Gief fundamentally a stronger character than in most other Capcom games. I don’t think he should be able to link multiple low shorts together that can link into EX hands but that’s a discussion for another day.
Basically I think Gief is mostly good and he doesn’t need to be messed around too much other than fixing up his RGB and giving his regular SPD’s more range. Gief has TERRIBLE ass recovery if he whiffs one so he might as well get a bit more range to get one off in the first place. His Ultra range wise IMO is pretty underwhelming too but the damage it does I guess makes up for it.
I say let them nerf Lariat, but change his normal Atomic Buster super with Mega Zangief mode, where he gets his Lariat back, plus an Air Lariat, and that cool purple flame breath attack that covers 60% of the screen’s length. Also all Ultras that require specific hit animations for full Ultras will automatically fail due to Mega Super armor.
Seriously though, I never use his regular Super for anything, they could give him something worth saving meter for.
only nerf lariat needs is sweeps need to be able to go under it.
lol it seems like everyone wants to nerf gief even though he’s not even THAT great. I think people are just mad cuz they lose online giefs a lot.
He doesn’t need just nerfed or buffed. He needs changed to be better at his bad matchups and worse at his good matchups. He’s just a bit lopsided right now, like ST Honda.
I’d like headbutt not being able to hit crouched opponents, or at least lower its priority a little so it doesn’t flat out beat most air normals. The stun damage on that thing is wtf
s.mp feels like a god-tier normal, I want to say either decrease the range or increase the recovery. It’d probably even out a few of his good matchups, but I’m not sure how gief would fare in his bad matchups without s.mp as good as it is…
That would make the Seth match up 0-10
How is it overpowered hitting crouching opponents? Also stop jumping at Gief, please. Adding recovery to s.MP is reasonable, but recovery should be taken off his s.MK. Ryu getting a guaranteed super if that thing hits him is just plain silly.
