Who fucking cares if zangief has advantage over twins or not, just get around it like the rest of the cast does be glad he doesn´t have disadvantage. BTW I´m 200% sure zangief beats yang in a clear 6-4. Yun i can see it being a 5-5 over time, as i don´t think gief has clear advantage on that matchup.
Just don´t play him anymore if you don´t like him, what more can I say. I think zangief in AE has very few positive matchups, a lot of 5-5s and some impossible matchups but I just enjoy to play him, as i said if u want to win tournaments consistently and plan to stick with only zangief you don´t know how this game works.
No kd on gh is shitty, but u are free to change character if u don´t like him anymore. Complaining on forums is not going to change anything thats for sure.
The original purpose of this thread is to discuss if he is worse or better.
This thread is the thread SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS THESE STUFF, YOU UNDERSTAND??
If you fucking dont care, do yourself a favour , head off to other treads, plenty of sticky threads are going to feed your needs.NO ONE BEGGING YOU READING THIS THREAD. AND IF YOU DONT CARE, WHY READ THIS THREAD??
matchup thread, video thread, FAQ thread any thread makes you happy reading.
All of you are stupid where in the hell do you guys get the idea that your opinion is more valid than the next person? literally this exact same shit happened in the Viper forums where all the scrubs watch videos all day and think they are automatically experts on the character. Not one of you crying bitches has something to show as proof that you are a competent player and know what you are talking about other then “Yo I have been playing zangief for years” and you know what that means? Absolutely jack shit. I have only been playing Zangief for like a month now but I am pretty sure I understand this game in general on a higher level than most of the people crying on this forum and I will say that at least 80% of the shit you guys are crying about is wrong lol. Zangief is in fact stronger than before almost every established Zangief and best overall players in the world say so. Zangief is in fact less scrubbier then he was in Super/Vanilla EXGH knocking down was retarded once you knocked them down it didn’t matter who was the better player now you have to rely on your footsies instead of one good guess to sweep a match. I think the problem with people right now is that your still trying to play Super/Vanilla with the new changes that character you use to play is gone literally this is not the same character anymore get over it and move on.
now a one month jerk start talking about how he understands zangief from vanilla ,and he thinks everyone else is idiot, he is genius,play one month and now only he undestand zangief.
LOL
have you ever read ultradavid’s wakeup flow chart??
you think a well timed caculated option select wakeup game is “more scurbbier” than a pure guess now?
LOL, "Zangief is in fact stronger than before almost every established Zangief and best overall players in the world say so"
who said so?? I know zangitan, Itabashi didnt say that.
Actually I did read that wake up flow chart shit I actually learned it the week of gief that I played before AE came out because I am american and guess what I was destroying everyone in my area in like 2 days because that shit was scrubby and auto pilot as hell and then you know what happened? AE came out and I started getting wrecked because I didn’t really know how to play gief because I was relying on one knockdown to win it for me. AE is out for a few weeks now and I am getting streaks like no other and winning all the ranbats. Also I sat down and played Mike Ross with my 3 week Zangief and trust me our matches looked alot closer than that match with Itabashi but I know it’s one match so I am not going nuts over it but hey good post it was pretty funny especially the part where you claim Zangief is a pure guess like not guessing and just letting them push themselves into the corner or something is not an option because you are obligated to keep going lol goodshit scrub stay free
not a pure guess??? anything you do after a hit ex hand is not a guess???
ye, people now tend to block more after ex hand hit, which is not a pure guess.LOL
if you rely on one KD win before AE, that’s your problem, not Zangief’s. KD doesnt mean you should jump every time , I cannot recall how many times when I play against sagat, back dash bait DP forward dash +U1, yeah, that’s something you dont have to guess. u2 is something you have to guess.
your videos of fighting some scurbs really didnt show how good your footies are, just average.
and your combo is like shit.
I dont know what gives you the impression you are better than Itabashi, and are among the highest level zangief now.
When did I say that i was better than itabashi or am the best zangief now? you seem to know how to quote but didn’t show that quote this time hmm I wonder why anyway I am done arguing with you you are obviously an idiot and have no proof that you even know how to play this game so with that being said I wish you the best of luck I know its hard for someone to stay at home and do nothing but talk shit instead of actually doing something because they are so good
the obvious idiot is you, an one month gief player thinks he knows everything about zangief, LOL. everyone else says otherwise is an idiot, and what’s your prove other than your scruby play against some noobs??
Do you even know how to walking 720?? replicate the same walking 720 video I posted. Can you??
Anyway, I was wondering how you guys handled the cr. jab x3, cr. short, ex gh link? Just got a new stick and I have been trying to get it down. Right now I do the jab x 3, dp motion, kick, 2 punches. It works but I wanted to check if anyone had a more efficient way of doing it before I wasted hours practising a method that isn’t efficient enough.
Firstly, the chipiness is really baby mode. I was hoping that Final would have come back to the forums since he was gone for some time, but like I forgot how much of an e-bully he was. If he doesn’t agree with your assessment, your by default a scrub.
So, I know we’re all upset that Capcom seemingly hates grapplers in sf4. We all wish this was ST where it was 1 frame timing to get out of tick spd situations. But if you want to play Gief you just need to come to the realization that on the highests levels your best finish will be top 8. Gief isn’t the only character in this situation. And you also need to realize your rapefest on XBL don’t mean shit. So get over yourselfs.
Secondly, u2 is a mind fuck ultra. Sometimes NOT going for it is its most powerful use. Gief is guessing games now, I don’t know what else to fuc’ing tell you. Am I going to say use u2 in every MU like Aqua does? Nah. But if the character doesn’t have real AA’s without an air reversal, u2 is a good choice because unless your Vance doing walk up u1’s, how often were you really landing that shit against good fuc’ing players anyway?
For the record, Gief guessing games for me are dull as shit now and I’m just keeping a pocket Gief, so not bitching about the character at all.
Is he better in this game? With the way crapcom shitted on other characters, I’m not certain he’s worse.
Gief could finish top 8 in super and the same in AE so from that sense he’s the same.
wow lol… is all i have to say your right WORSTGIEFEVER… we should just disagree or agree… i love these forums and i will try and be more positive and helpful, i just can’t get over some of the things that i’m hearing man but at the same time, if we can’t talk about why we have didn’t opinions then what’s the point of this thread? it’s meant to serve as a purpose to only talk about his changes and how we are dealing with them as a zangief community. Also, if you go on zangitan blog he agrees that zangief is alot worst and itabashi and talk to the person who probably understands gief the most, and the most successful with gief, FUCKING VANCE, and he also said, zangief is alot worst in pure guess or low dmg out with footsies and basic dmg but i digress lets just try to move on …
DID ANYONE SEE ITABASHI RAPING SHIT YESTERDAY… ALSO… I’M SORRY TRINI IF YOU THINK I’M A BULLY, …I’M A REALLY NICE GUY,SORRY BRO, IF I CAME AT YOU BUT ANYONE ELSE LIKE BP FUCK THEM THEY CAME AT ME.
finish in top 8 cannot prove something, if you are the seed and no other very good opponent in your pool ,just won 1 top16 match, you could end up in top 8 . Jap Arcade results is more reliable, so far so many SBO qualifies, no gief team won yet.
Just ask sswyu to post a vid of him playing ae. He can’t prove he’s ever even played the game and won’t even say what country he’s from. Don’t bother arguing with his troll ass.
