Zangief General Thread: Our Russian Skies Are Protected

Man just lost 8 games in a row 3x chuns 3xfangs and 2x birdies…back to bronze I go…grrrr

Man I know the feeling. Such is the life of Gief…

He just getting mad each time after I beat him
He hate gief so much and there are still more fun stuff he complain about:

1)SPD is OP, with such huge damage and unblockable nature, it should able to be throw escaped by LP+LK like normal throw.

2)Each command throw characters have almost no follow up after their command throw, but why gief has follow up pressure after EXSPD?

  1. The meatly VT is OP, because normally this move should be punished after blocking.
    The +3F meatly VT after SPD is unacceptable.

  2. Karin vs Gief is an unfair matchup because Gief has 1050 huge health while Karin only has 900 health.

  3. The input command of SPD is too simplified in both SFIV & V (only 270 motion)
    It should be as hard as SFII to buffer for such huge damage.

I think I should stop playing with him
I explained to him Gief already consider to be the worst character in the game, and he said everyone thinks their character is the worst.
He insists Gief is one of the most OP character in the game

I have a question
I am playing PC version SFV
Do anyone know how can i extract my playing history video out from the game,
and then upload it to youtube??

I believe all the footage is stored on the Capcom Servers, not a file on your PC.
The only way you’ll be able to do it is look at your player profile / history in game and record via a third party app like OBS (I use OBS)

Thanks dude

On the otherside
Either slp,chp,lariat
Do not works well against cammy’s instant dive kick
Especally the ex dive kick

But Shp works extremely well as its just need 3F before armor come out
Try it out

Your friend is just ass at the game. Everyone whos ass will tell you Gief is op because Gief has always been a scrub cleaner. Once you get out of the ass zone, and go into intermediate, and good is when you’ll see Gief players need to be solid to actually do anything.

Stop playing this guy. Anybody complaining to this degree isn’t worth playing with.

Plus all his complaints are laughably wrong. Gief sux because clueless people like this have no idea how to play against grapplers and just bitch about how op they are.

Does anyone use dmk or smk at all?

S.mk is good as a counter poke vs low attacks aimed at Gief’s feet, cr.mk is good as a counter poke vs attacks that cover the around waist height but not the opponent’s feet. Cr.mk is also a decent whiff punish tool vs low forwards and sweeps, since it’s faster than cr.hk.

I think it’s time for you to get a new friend.

It’s amazing to me how opinionated people who don’t play gief are…

karin vs gief maybe the easiest matchup IMO

I guess thats why your friend is complaining

Or his friend is just a salty scrub.

his friend is a gold probably not used to fighting gief since there arent many gief players online

guys, our best comrade hasnt a chance againt bonchan :frowning:

I’ve been saying this for some time, ill always love gief, but he’s downright horrible in this game. He does not have the tools to compete.

People told me I was an idiot when I said snake would switch characters in the near future, what do you think now?

After all, its one thing for me to lose with gief, I’m not (and never will be) sponsored. I can’t imagine why someone who’s livelihood depends on tournament placing would still use a character that combofiend butchered.

Clueless people will still say Gief is good. Paramisery, I completely agree and I’ve been saying it from day 1. Gief is flat out garbage in this game and needs major help to compete but we all know he’s not gonna get it. This character just has nothing to work with at high levels other than gimmicks and stupid risks.

Yeah, if he gets a buff it’ll probably be like, gief now has 1075 health. Done.
