Zangief General Thread: Our Russian Skies Are Protected

I wonder where all the anti V Gief posters went? Oh well, i miss combo into ex spd, other than that character seems ridic

Pretty sure you can standing 720 in V, just working on the exact motion now

Looks like you can’t jump out of Zangief’s Super Art

My two thoughs right now

1- Current Gief is fun, scary and great.
Imho they will give him the Ryu treatment.
We will lose part of the fun thanks to them removing combos and cool tricks here and there, then others will be like “don’t whine he’s still solid”

2- LOL at all the people (of course, not in this thread) that now are blowjobbing Gief, when months ago we was very few to ask for him and everybody else was like "ehh Gief suck, he’s already in too many games"
The good old days of Gief-Sim rumor vs Alex-Urien rumor, lol.
The salt that day.
Now he seem everyone best friend, peoples truly are tier whores :smiley:

Lets be real, compared to most of the cast, gief has a ridiculous amount of tools and damage that are all very obvious to see compared to other strong characters in the beta at the moment. He def shouldnt be nerfed, capcom should instead stop taking options way from everyone else in the cast.

Combofiend said final version will not be a nerf festival, even hinting that peoples angry at beta nerfs will be happy… but tbh i just don’t believe him

**Remember my post? (2months ago)
**

I was talking about even before, when he was’nt announced yet and everybody was like eh fuck Gief do-no-want-in-SFV :smiley:

Remember the days in the chara anticipation thread with me,you and few comrades asking for Teh Gief, while an huge horde of SF3 nostalgic and waifu wierdos was screming about too many grapplers, you have Birdie (fucking Birdie) and siliconera promised us ALEX!!! :smiley:
I save from that Eternal because at least he was in a mission, his personal crusade to get Haggar, but fuck everyone else XD
Now is a precious an unique addition, lol

Tbh once revealed i was on the whining boat too, the Gief seen videos was weak and pathetic as dmg, he looked over-mechanical with no true pay back… because peoples tried to use him a la SF4. Lil slaps, lil spd, lil kicks. lil slaps into whining about no GH.

Only after read the opinion of peoples that tested him and said that badass gief was still there “you just don’t see him in videos”, i was starting to believe :smiley:

Cant say shit about me lol.

If Gief pops V-Trigger or does V-Skill does he gain more health or something? It seems like whenever I fight a Gief and they’re down to 30% health (this is after they pop V-Trigger) and even I land super they STILL have a chunk of health left.

That’s just the Guilty Gear/Anime game style guts system that’s in the game. Your opponent starts taking less health the more you health you take from them. It would be pretty noticeable on Gief since his health is so high.

I landed a jump in into Mika’s Super and he still had a big chunk of health left. I yelled out loud “WTF? He’s still alive!?”

Can someone confirm for if this is the real Velociraptor in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqNesDVfFz0&index=16&list=PLdqY4sDs-ITXqLUVuLxUDil9wBrCKgM0L

How many HP he have, 1150?

1050, it seems they nerfed the grapplers health since damage is so much lower than SF4. It’s weird though, because the rest of the cast has health values you would expect.

I swear Karin Zangief matchup feels like 9:1 in Karin’s favor for me.

It’s funny, he said I have to approach learning 5 like I approached hyper fighting because it’s morhib

You should ask him on Twitter or ehubs, he’s a nice dude.

That running bear grab at the end was so clutch, great read, while I was watching I was saying please don’t whip it out why he’s in denjin. Boss move.

Do you have a capture card? How did you get your video on PC? Do you just save replay and it shows up somewhere?

so what the hell do you do against sim.

Hope they not good
