Under his SFWiki page it has “Beautiful young women” under dislikes (sourced from Capcom’s official SF4 site). This is news to me too, TBH. I never really gave Zangief’s sexual orientation much thought.
We all know Marduk isn’t gay

I can’t believe how many people don’t know Zangief was gay. He’s been gay for like 18 years in SF lore. SF has made numerous refenences to him being gay. Him hating R.Mika even tho shes a fan of his. Him not liking young women. Him training with “bears” obvious gay reference.
This trailer was another in a long line of gay hints. Notice how Zangief only spits when Julia touches him, twice he does this. While Bob is impressed with how hot Juila is and stops for a second to check her out Zangief is only interested in fighting her because she just showed her strength.
I am truly shocked long time Zangief fans did not know this…

i think zangief likes juila XD
from down below, its not really calling it out. what cammy and chun say to poison is straight out calling it out. XD
btw bob is more fit than Rufus.
even Yun calls out Zangief on being gay on his win quote “You sure do like getting close and personal huh?”
Why are people implying Rufus and Law? they could be just cameo’s you know…

Frankly, as long as they don’t go out and directly say that Zangief is gay, I’m not going to believe it.
Maybe Zangief just really loves big strong muscly women. The kind you see in body building contests? They aren’t very young or very beautiful women.

more reasons to have eagle on the game, pairing 2 gays its just logical

I said this before, but I tend to zone out when it comes to story related stuff in fighting games. I really don’t care if Zangief is gay or not.

The Famitsu announcement confirms Rufus with this trailer. Law is the one implied.
NO EL FUERTE??? but rufus made it in? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-ANnjvrlA
also this just means we are closing out the final roster which means with each SF char announced it is just one less chance for Karin…

Hah, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yes. He’s actually a tribute to Freddy Mercury.

Law is a popular [S]scrub[/S] character, so even if I dislike his possible inclusion in the game, I can’t the a reason for Capcom to neglect putting him in.
At least now we have Rufus - and on the plus side, the final nail on the wishlist’s coffin. Yay.
Really? That just made him 10x more cooler in my book!

he now has dive kick target into target combos into super. No more 1 framed links for rufus. i loved how rufus looks at Zangief like who the hell are you looking at.

Rufus will be able to capitalize off SFxT’s various mechanics much better that Fuerte would be able to. He also had a obvious rival in Bob and ever since Bob’s confimation people have been saying “lol Bob’s in Rufus confirmed” so it’s not that big of a stretch for Rufus to be in over El Fuerte.
This is not to say that they can’t both be in but, logically speaking, Rufus would be a much better pick between the both of them

This is a confirmation of their exclusion in the same vein that C. Viper was confirmed to not be in as she is “tending to her child” or something to that effect RIP!!!.
its a shame they didnt give king his t3 costume
