That s. fp looks really nasty for roughing people up imo. Of course it hits crouching. At any time while he’s walking forward you have to be wary of hitting your good buttons. It’s a better version of hugo’s sfiv s. fp. Builds v meter.
Then he maxxes out his v meter and he’s like SLIDING IN THERE and you gotta deal with his infinite armor. “Uh, um…well I’ll dash towards him to throw him since that’s all I can do” and gief is like NOPE POSE and you take damage and get bounced back. He’s funny.
As a Gief player myself I think U2 it´s an awful mechanic. If you jump in such a bad angle that the other player can dp, you should be punished without the opponent having to guess what AA to use. I know it´s necessary against some MUs because of how SF4 is designed but that´s it, I don´t even feel good when someone dps my jump in and I kill them. I´m almost certain his air cmd grab won´t work against dps, but it may be useful to bait them because you freeze a bit in the air like Haggar in mvc3.
Other than that, for people who come here to cry just gtfo. It´s too early to tell, and even if Zangief sucks on the release you have 2 choices: play him and try to improve or play another character. Some of us want to actually discuss about him, not to read a bunch of scrubs cry.
Yeah u2 grew on me but I dislike having to guess and lose the round on it, we aren’t preaching that in 5 but it might be an ex option which would be nice. Unlike u2 it’s not necessary to win
U2 is primarily used to make people FEAR jumping back or backdashing, it’s not necessary to actually make a read and use it, the fact that you have it stocked makes people play differently. And SF5 Zangief having an air SPD that does MORE damage than his regular fierce SPD is going to make people fear the same way
For someone who said RBG is fast,
I can totally guess how low level and noob for this player
I think such shit would be grabbed by gief’s RBG in SFIV too, because he has zero reaction or even he is BLIND
Where is your brain? Is it dropped to somewhere or eaten by a dog?
Beta version is the moment the game designer receiving suggestion and thus to improve anything not being good
It is meaningless and useless to complain AFTER the game officially released
Dude, considering the current RBG running speed
It may only able to grab someone who are in quite close distance to you, due to less travel distance needed
Hugo’s Light Meat Squasher often able to grab opponent even at MAX RUNNING RANGE and opponent can not be reacted to jump away
If RBG can be only contributed in close distance, why I don’t simply use LSPD, which is more safer, have immediate start up, and less punishable?
