Zangief General Thread: Our Russian Skies Are Protected

Here, an other reason why we r completely fu*k, cmd grab in this game is a joke.

You’re about three days late on that one.

lol, i droped gief for overwatch :)) its more fun than play sfv cause they have a balance game.

Zarya is a much better tank too.

The look on Itabashis face was priceless. Everyone here has had that look playing this character unfortunately.

been playing overwatch as well :slight_smile:

I have no idea how to consistently win with this character. The last couple days have been just losses over and over again. Just not having fun at all with this game. Nobody respects Gief at all, why would they?

Finally broke down and RQ and ugh it feels bad but fuck that bullshit that I can’t do my offense while Ken thrives and I mean thrives in this lag filled garbage.

So far have only RQ twice the first one one of the buttons in my controller stopped working and I explained it to the guy he was cool about it lol.

Infexious wants 50 more health

I wish we could gather all the top and mid level Giefs and have a round table of sorts on how to fix him and send that shit to Capcom.

They would still ignore every single suggestion and probably nerf him. They don’t listen to actual Gief players they listen to scrubs that bitch about grapplers.

I feel like he’s a lot closer to being competitive than most people think. I’d really just like to see the “parry” be more useful. V-Trigger is kind of a mixed bag too. I wish it was a bit easier to combo into.

Luckily all the hate is currently directed towards mika, so at least we stand a chance on the first rebalancing.

Give him more health and all that fun stuff he had in his trailer. Combos into ex grab, cr hp launches on crush counter. Why did they even get rid of those things

Stupendous is in ceo top 16 winners. Tomorrow plays against daigo.
Snake eyez is in losers, but played ryu most of the times.

If Capcom doesn’t want to improve Zangief’s base move speed, then I’d like to see a speed boost for his movement speed in V-Trigger (Sorta like what Necali gets in V-Trigger). That way it gives V-Trigger a bit more utility if the player wants to not use the tornado in favor of better movespeed and Infinite Armor (May give more reason to use Infinite Armor?).

EVO upcoming an no Gief player has cracked top 8. Then people say it’s the players and not the character GTFO with that shit. Make these top player use Gief and see how far they get.

The Stupendous/Daigo match was just painful to watch. That’s what happens when the other player knows how to fight Gief. We can’t do shit. The Snake/Champ match was even more painful to watch good lord. Looked like a 10-0 mu. As long as Combofiend is there Gief will never be good.

Stupendous vs. Onuki hurt the most that should have been his win on that first set. sigh

@Grimmjow316: no, they checked the tapes, chun had a bit of health
