People are already crying over how “good” S2Gief is. Could you imagine the outcry if he had an Express that effective??? It would have been a step in the right direction to give him an aggressive tool like that but no worries we’re getting Tundra Storm.
Yeah you’re 100% right but it just doesn’t make sense. The thing is at low levels and with scrub Giefs rbg seems op. Bad players get hit with it all the time. I’m thinking that’s why it will never be good cause Capcom only focuses on scrubs for their data. Also I have a feeling these new moves will all be pretty useless or very situational. Remember, Gief is top 5 so do you really think they’re gonna improve him?
A 4 frame startup atomic double German suplex version, would definitely be the bomb.
With a strong knockdown position. Because face it, if you miss the train, that is the sibberian express, you’re basically DEAD.
If it had armor on the first frame I would be ok with 10 less damage so it would be on par with HP/EX SPD. The fact that even Itazan with his mind-reading skills practically never uses the move should be indicative of its uselessness.
Speaking of Itazan, I wonder what it’s like to play him in a mirror match. Gemini_hk, you would know, I saw your matches while I looked at Itazan’s replays. You almost had him in that second game.
Cause other people started complaining about air spd even though he’s had it since the beginning

Will be cool have an Atomic Suplex returning even with lower dmg but positioning, no bs RBG whiff and maybe combo in particular circumstances
shoutouts to the people wanting invincible spd back. This is as close as you’re getting.

Any Giefers here have the pc version? I’m on ps4 so I can’t play the beta. Can you guys update us on Gief’s changes?
do we know how bad it hit lariat?
I am told it still combos, as expected, so I am not that worried
FYI, Tundra Storm is a hard KD and puts Gief on a CH state on recovery.
That kick counter does some good damage. I don’t really see the point of the new throw. I like the stun on the headbutt, could be a game changer.
Zangief new throw, leaves you slightly closer midscreen but slightly farther in the corner. It’s alright, same damage and stun as other throw | counter, the most specific move i’ve ever seen in a fighting game and one of the worst moves ever. Don’t use it cause it will only bring sadness | air headbutt, pretty good. A good air to air, around 400 stun, can be used to beat ppl jumping away pretty well, and does more than 100 damage. Can’t hit people crouching except gief/birdie. | lariat nerf. Don’t worry it doesn’t effect combos or AA in any way. St.lk xx lariat as a whiff punish seemed to still work fine too
Maybe the kick counter could be of use against Cammy? St. forward is about the only normal she can use against Gief’s st. strong.
Wait, why am I suddenly the optimistic one?
The counter looks useless and super slow. Anyway it’s a complete guess and probably isn’t worth it at all. I don’t understand the throw at all, what’s the point? Headbutt seems very situational will probably be hard to actually hit on someone competent.
Also bad animation and weird voice line. Disappointed. Not even a camera angle change to make it look cool.
How will these moves in any way improve his bad mu’s? My guess is they won’t at all. Then if other characters are getting better or staying the same things might become bad very quickly.
