Let's list all of Zangief's SPD and CA punishes! *updated continuously*

Update: Here’s the video of all CA punishes in the game. https://youtu.be/p-eTLv44hVE The frame data in the video is way more accurate than what I originally posted here on the forum, which was my rough draft. I’ll update the list on here when I get some free time.

Hey guys, I’m going to be making a video of all the things you can punish with Gief’s Critical Art (especially since there are a lot of that nobody else in the game can punish except Gief). If you leave a punish here I will give you credit in the video and I’ll update the list here.
I’ll cover most of the obvious punishes but if you find something unique (for example, punishing Ryu’s parry or someone’s V Reversal on block, or punishing any move on hit with CA) please post it!

I’d also like to list the ranges where you can LP SPD, MP SPD, HP SPD and EX SPD because landing the heavier versions grants you much better positioning.

Show me some Real Soviet Damage! Horosho!!

[

[
] EX Bull Head (-40) (punishable no matter the distance or number of times it hits)
[] LP/MP/HP/EX Hanging Chain (Only from point blank)

] Pepper Pot V-Reversal (-2)
^Only punishable if they blocked something point blank that doesn’t have a lot of pushback (i.e. F+MK, or a cr.LP or headbutt if you’re lucky with your spacing, or any blocked jump-in) Usually if you use st.LK, cr.MP, headbutt, etc to bait out the V reversal the pushback will be too far to punish with CA.
[*] Skip to My Chain CA (-30) (Safe at absolute max range)

Note: Bull Revenger (jumping command grab) is easily punishable with a neutral jump into a fat combo into CA :wink:
Bull Slider (DF+HP) (-5) is actually not punishable with Reversal CA because Birdie low profiles it O_O need to test

[

Also, if they do a cr.MP, B+MP (or cr.MP, St.LK or whatever block string) and you do a reversal CA you’ll catch them in the startup of their B+MP

[*] Critical Art
^Vega does a flying barcelona that passes through you and then he attacks from the other side directly above you. If you block this you can punish with st.HK xx VT, LP SPD and if you’re lucky CA. But most likely you’ll be just outside the range for CA. So instead do CA with reversal timing as soon as he touches the wall after passing through you. The CA invincibiliyy will protect you from his attack and you’ll get a guaranteed punish.
[/list]

Not punishable: Flying Barcelona Attack (Claw) (+0), V Trigger (Neutral) (-2) (he lands too far away), LP Aurora Spin Edge (-7), MP Aurora Spin Edge (-6), HP Aurora Spin Edge (-4), and EX Aurora Spin Edge (-3) <-- All Aurora Spin Edges have too much pushback

F+HP ON HIT (-3) Pushes back out of range on hit

[list]
[]St.HP (press / no hold) (-5) Level 1 Safe at max range, Level 2 Safe at all ranges (safe on block)
[
]St.MK (-3) Safe at mid-to-max range
[]St.HK (-2) Safe at max range
[
]Cr.HP (-4)
[]Cr.MK (-1) Safe at max range
[
]Cr.HK (-10) Safe at max range
[]F+MK (-3)
[
] V-Skill walk forward and punch
[] V Reversal (Muscle 'Splosion!) (-2) His V Reversal does a lot of pushback so you’ll need to have a move blocked that does very little pushback, such as F+MK or a J.LK (st.LK works too)
[
]Cyclone Lariat (-3) There is a range where you can do an almost point blank Lariat and hold backwards and it will back CA whiff

[/list]

Not punishable: St.HP (charged to lvl 2) (+1), F+HP (+2)
Critical Art. However, you can always punish a Gief trying to use CA after you do a move that is plus on block (Cr.MP, st.MP, F+HP, cr.LP, or a jump in such as D+HP splash) but they can always punish anything you do that’s negative on block (even a misplaced cr.MK that is -1 on block).

SPD punishes might need some help on this one! There are a lot of range dependent punishes out there.

@Vandylizer This is excellent work. It’s great to see knowledge being shared that has been tested, clearly laid out, and concise.

I’ll add to your spd list as I get through testing each characters best pokes and block string enders.

You doin gods work. Good stuff.

Thank you. This is great. I am new to Zief, so this is perfect once the SPD’s are loaded.
