Don’t stand in the range of where the tip of his fist reaches you. That’s the worst place to be in. You want to be right near him. You can try to catch him with random kkk lariat but I wouldn’t recommend that. cr.hp is really slow so if he gets too happy with it, you can land a full jump in combo if he miss times one. cr.lp into exgh is good too if you’re in range. You seemed to have caught him once with that. I wasn’t sure why you didn’t try it more. Safe jump os exgh is also good against Rufus in case he’s trying to get out with ex messiah.
FADC forward st.LK xx EX hand blows up Rufus cr.HP, and it’s fairly easy to react to.

You need to be throwing out those option-select EX-GH and cr. jabs.
Cr. jabs make rufus’ c. fierce obsolete. Then it’s S. strong all day long.

I will be Calgary’s best Gief once again.
I will lose shamefully to Justin Wong once again.
I thought u2 caught back dashes? I guess that’s character specific?
So does EX hand give you a frame advantage like Honda’s EX hands in super/vanilla?
On counter hit i just did this combo, s.mp x 3. Crazy.
It doesn’t have to be on counter-hit. You can also do ST.MP x 2 ST.LK GH on Honda while he’s crouching. I should also add that for Hakan crouching, you can hit CR.LK ST.MP x 2 ST.LK GH. I think there are other characters that ST.MP x 2 to GH combos work for, but I don’t remember anymore.
Ohh one time i did the 3 s.mp to balrog andI said it hereand people tought i was crazy. This time the victim was seth. Also i think the hitbox on headbutt has been decreased.
Holy fuck, been using Zangief for the past few hours. He beats the twins every time but for some reason I can’t beat Juri. She was the only match that I lost.
Wow, I’m actually surprised. I got AE yesterday and really had no expectations for Gief because of the GH-nerf. I went to training mode and first, was disappointed with the extended range on LP-SPD. Then i played some ranked and man, it really makes a difference.
It’s actually kinda more fun to play him now. I punished so much shi* with SPD, it was hillarious. And EX-GH still knocks down if you catch them backdashing or on counterhit. But I still hate this floaty jump.
The Akuma-Matchup seamed kinda easier, because I know how to deal with air-fireballs and demon flips, and Akuma is even more scared to attack you on the ground. Honda felt pretty much the same as always, Blanka felt easier, Seth is still a pain. I didn’t fight any good Guiles or Sagats.
This is of course not a matchup-guide nor is this written in stone, it’s just how it felt for me. Might all be wrong when everyone is familiar with SPD-range and not surprised by GH not knocking down.
The new Seth matchup is tits. No J.FP spam completely changed that matchup. I’m sure Seth players will figure out ways to make it more annoying than it is currently, but with more damage on SPD’s one punish gets you an almost insurmountable life lead since Seth can’t just throw out the boom/limb obstacle course and auto-win from full screen anymore.
^^^^ it feels so nice just to crouch while the a Seth was jumping backwards in the corner waiting for that wall bounce. That matchup feels so much better now. Also bisons s hk got nerfed to nothing that matchup got better because bison is worse and he had good escape options so the gh nerf doesn’t change it up too much. I went 5-1 vs mashdatdp and he’s good it should be 50-50 when we play if not in his favor. Blanka matchup got better it feels so nice not to worry about hp hor ball anymore on block you can punish with a gh now might be able to dash grab or dash ultra need to test. Guiles air throw range is not broken anymore and he hits like a little girl now. Makoto got better so that’s looking like a 5-5 to me she’s scary now. I like the new spd range a bunch. I need to play a good fei to see how I really feel about him.
But not all projectiles. I was all psyched when I saw early AE videos and compiled them in some thread around here of which projectiles lend CH and knockdown (Ryu’s don’t, Guile’s do, etc.), as this is HUGE for Gief retaining some of his former wakeup glory… Nobody gave a shit lol.
New SPD is too gdlk.
Glad to see you guys are finally coming along 
I played a Fei that match felt retarded in terms of dmg output he made it very quick while it took me sometime to take him down. Still manage to win though but if Fei’s get better at being real patient watch out.
Have yet to find something about Fierce punch has anyone else have?
Sent From Hueco Mundo Using Garganta Talk
Fierce punch works as a decent Kara for GH.
Granted RH is better for range, but it has it’s random uses for random crap.
