Zangief Combos

damn, i guess all of us think alike because that’s how i have been doing my cr.lk…but i can’t do that shit online to save my life… i always get dp … i can do cr.lkx2 xx ex hand but anymore than two i have a problem online… but also, on the right hand side, i can’t do st.lk xx ex hand it’s pretty difficult for me any tips…

i also, see zangitan and aloha doing … cr.lkx2 st.mp st.lk ex. hand … now that is a fresh combo … i personally can do it… one time out of 4 tries but i don’t think it’s worth it. i think the damage is like 236 if, iam not mistaken. or i see zangitan doing something like st.lkx3 ex green hand but i wonder if that’s a one frame link??

How the hell can I do kara green hand?
I have read that its cancel standing heavy kick to greenn hand but it never works
how do I do it?

:df::d::df::r::hk:~:lp::mp:

are there any combos that works on crouching opponents? also is there a general combo that works on everyone? do you guys plink your cr.short combos, because i find it alot easier in the beginning but harder in the end, when you have to do a ex hand.

I find that the only moves that miss crouch opponents would be s.lp and sometimes c.lp when some opponents are in hit stun after a crossup splash (viper comes to mind), so just use c.lks/s.lk for comboing into your’re ex-hand. I link the c.lks without plinking or double-tapping - just do whatever works for you. To get the exhand at the end, just do it really fast.

I was searching thru the thread again on how to do the jab O-S to ex-green hand that’s used during footsies. I saw it on somewhere earlier, but i forgot how to do it.

someone tell me how to do it again? all i remember is that you buffer it somehow and end it with :mp:+:hp:

go to the other thread where someone was talking about this very subject, i also have a video on how to do it with hand motions if you use a joystick but for pad iam totally lost…i don’t use pad :frowning:

linking ex gh help

how in the hell do you link ex hand in multiple cr lks and when you do splash, cr jap x 3, st lk, and finally ex had i can link all the normals just fine i can link 3 cr lks 80 % of the time and and four like 60 % but when i ever i try to link ex hand it never combos it will always come out late what am i not seeing in how to do this link

I recently saw Zangitan consistently pull off c.lk, c.lk, walk forward, Ultra. Is this a raw standing 720, or does he buffer the 720 during the low shorts and end on forward to walk up, then press 3P? Kinda like when Blanka walks a step forward for his 50/50 Ultra?

Get good at linking ex gh and 1 LK first and then worry about getting it up to 4. Linking the lk’s is the hard part but you need to learn to buffer that last one the same as the first. So hold forward down during the first 3 lk’s then go to neutral down and then back to forward down during the last light kick and then hit PP.

Also if you are in chicago there are a bunch of good giefs here and you should go to Area XIII in addison on tuesdays or Gameworks on thursdays.

I am but i cant go because i work during those hours. i saw the info for those events in the midwest thread however i didnt see a thread for those events. if there were a thread i could see who was going to go and not go. i didnt know people were still going to them. but thx 4 the info

It’s basically this (Right is forward):

:lk: -> :lk:+:ub::hcf: Walk forward :hcb::ub:+:3p:

You can’t walk forward very far, but I remember him doing this a lot whenever I went to Seven Islands.

Quick question is CR.lpx2, St.MP, St.lk, ex hand character-specific or does it work on everyone…I can hit it like 90% on blanks but on then lk wont connect on deejay. It that the problem or is the timing different on different characters.

Pretty sure it’s character specific. Case in point: You can sometimes get two st.lk’s on Dictator. A beastly combo against him is

Jump in splash, cr.lk x2, st.mp, st.lk x2xxEX GH.

Whats with linking 2 st.mp? Is it char specific or a 1 frame? Sometimes I land these when just trying to scare people back and they will combo.
And how good is the st.mp to st.lk? I dont recall seeing that often.

Guys i need rhythm help. I need a “tap-a-tap” to consistently get cr.lpx2 ~ cr.lk XX EX GH. I can only do it like 20% of the time and my brain simply cannot tell the difference between, linking or not linking so I haven’t been able to capture this in muscle memory. I’ve been at this for 6 months now.

I can do Rogs bnb 90% of the time no problem with this rhythm [tap, tap (.) tap , tap] Doesn’t work for geif since you cant press his normals as slow as rog can it seems. I have to press it pretty fast for it to combo and then it just throws off the whole rhythm.

Does anyone have a rhythm i can borrow?

can he PPP lariat FADC to Ultra II ??

No you cant fadc lariet into u2.

Put your opponent in the corner in training mode and hold down-forward. Then practice cr.lp cr.lp cr.lk until you have no problem with the timing between cr.lp and cr.lk. After that add the ex gh.

Have the stick in df position for cr.lp cr.lp. Then move the stick to down and press lk at the same time, then move the stick back to df and press 2 or 3 punch buttons at the same time. This may not come naturally at first but you will end up doing it so fluidly it will naturally become an option select and not come out when the cr.lk whiffs. At least that’s what I have found.
