That isn’t really a Zangief problem it is just how the SF games work. You can’t do any throws while a person is in blockstun. That would be lame and completely break the game.
So another video for you guys. Had a match with Alex and he no get stunned !!! let me know if this is intentional. lol this game gunna make me crazy.
Looks like a rollback. Did you record it live? I didn’t think rollbacks showed up in replays.
Yes I recorded live. So I’m guessing a rollback is that game catching up?
It’s the game (on your end) realizing that your move wouldn’t have worked because your opponent did something that stopped it (that took some time to register on your end due to internet delay). So the game rewinds to make things fair.
What is the point of c.lk? c.LP has the same damage/stun, better advantage on block/hit, an additional active frame and faster recovery. I mean, I use c.lk in some of my strings but I don’t know why besides just habit to hit that button.
The only time I use is when I have V-Trigger activated and using cr. lk to link into cr. lp xx V-Trigger.
I mean…it hits low
You can hit cr lk cr lk super.
It’s his fastest low and you can combo off of it. Sometimes opponents don’t expect it from gief since all they see from gief is jump in or crouch lp or spd.
You can c.LP, c.LP super too. I suppose there is some value in the hitting low.
Finally hit gold again after an shitty long losing streak. Also beat PR Rog to today, then he proceeded to destroy me in the second set… There would have been a third but for some reason it wouldn’t let me battle again, does anyone else have this problem?
I’ll try and upload the vid for critique as soon as I can. I did see plenty mistakes I need to correct but would like further input.
Congratz, leading russian to the gold rank isnt easy i guess.
I got really frustrated and rage quit. I’m a disgrace to the comrade community. I mean I had lost a 9 streak win earlier and didn’t care. But I was losing to a 1050 lp Cammy while I was 1700 lp. I didn’t even have a win streak I just got frustrated. I couldn’t do anything! And the running bear grab was 0 threat. She just walks away like a baby is trying to hug her. Man it’s so bad.
There is almost zero reason to use RBG. It is way too risky.
Cr.lk sort of still does what it did in sf4 by providing a better frame trap than what cr.lp provides usually. A cr.lk string is a 3 frame gap string on block compared to a 1 frame gap from blocking cr.lps. it’s easier to catch the opponent doing something, and they’ll have to keep holding down back to not get nicked.
This does make it more vulnerable to mashed dp, or enticing for ppl to dp if you want to look at it another way.
It might be my imagination but I also think cr.lk’s have a little less pushback compared to cr.lps on block too.
Cr.lk is going to mainly do its work in v trigger mode since if you do meaty cyclone setups and they block the suction, because they HAVE to respect the impending low or gief gets a free confirm into damage + reset or knockdown.
I use cr.lk, cr.lp cr.lp as my hitconfirm pressure string after a blocked meaty suction. This has something like a 95% success rate, and that’s factoring in the occasional online hiccups. Offline is basically an unblockables since 9 out of 10 times the opponent will not keep blocking. Once I nick them, confirm into combo, OR, if I have enough uses left on trigger, I’ll use the hitconfirm to use short suction again and go for fierce spd/ex spd which will set me up for at least one more suction use (though you won’t have enough trigger left to get the full cyclone combo at this point if you get another hit confirm)
It’s a new game. Everyone’s still learning. We need to see WHY and HOW your losing, so describe or post some vids.
Did you get the secret memo? Running Bear Grab is a mole. He’s the inside man - the double agent! He turns up to work wearing Russian clothing, but secretly works for the opposition. RBG is a spy against mother Russia, so not to be trusted! I’ve taken the proper precautions to eliminate this security threat, so I suggest you do the same Comrade.
Grats. I feel like I’m so close to gold I could taste it. Sitting around 3500 LP now. It’s funny you mention your losing streak. Sometimes I lose like 10 games in a row and get so mad and think Zangief is the worst Street Fighter character ever created, but then I will get like a 15 game win streak and feel like I could take him to Evo finals. I don’t know if it’s some kind of subconcious learning that occurs or if the game has some kind of algorithm that feels sorry for me losing so much that it throws drunk and sleepy players at me. But the win/lose streaks happens so often.
Yeah that streak was grossly bad I started at 4100 lost 1000 points and you know how it goes you get so frustrated that it effects your play and then you start losing to people you should beat. I will say this I really do hope that the rollback issue gets resolved soon because I feel that I’m on the receiving end of it more than my opponent.
Yeah i get really frustated, i can go on a really bad losing streak. I was so close to gold & i ended up going back to ultra bronze in less then 2 days. Then i have to claw my way back to ultra silver…Still cant seem to get that gold, i always seem to get paired w/ some bullshit character like Nash & Chun when im close.
