Zangief still doesn’t have combos it seems
i’m pretty sure you cant combo into v-trigger off standing mp outside counterhit. The startup doesnt allow for it, but that combo is possible if you allready have the v-trigger started since the v-trigger animation startup is now gone, but that mod is pretty buggy so it doesnt show the v-trigger was already in triggered and he’s not turning red. so you have to preactivate it which makes it more difficult to land since it’s slowing draining away.
That wasn’t actually what I was referring to but that is a pretty sweet combo. I am referring to the fact that Zangief can do his V-Reversal and then do something like EX Air-SPD for big damage.
Yeah but it requires him to v reversal a airborne special, which was probably unsafe anyway. The other way is vs a early jump in attack, you can just jump in deep to avoid it.
Yea I only just realized your post said V-Reversal, I went into training with him to play with V-Trigger stuff. I don’t think the reversal is a big deal at all, most of the cases where it works are cases where you would be able to punish anyway by blocking, and where it’s legitimate like vs. Nash EX Moonsault, it isn’t super important. EX Moonsault isn’t a significant part of Nash’s game against Gief, so he can just not-do-that. It’s not nearly as big a deal as something like SFIV Chun being able to punish things on hit with Super. Whether it stays or goes won’t really change the character much.
That is true, but are any other members of the cast able to convert their V-Reversal into damage? IDK, the whole thing just seems like it was there by accident rather than by design. I don’t really have a problem with it, but I doubt we will see it in February.
But what if we do?
I’m pretty confident we won’t but if we do it’s whatever. I do think it would be kind of odd that Zangief is the only character able to get great damage off of his V-Reversal (correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m not aware of any other character that can combo off their V-Reversal).
Sounds too situational (has to be against airborne moves) where it’s kinda 50/50 if they’ll mess with it I think. We’ll see
People should forget about SF4, where tick throwing was mostly useless due to DPs being very strong, and implement them into their play style again.
Im bored. Any interesting twitch archive of someone playing zangief? I already watched jchensors’.
Thanks.
This is so ass backards it’s not even funny.
Was getting ready to send the search party your way Fresh lol
Other shit plus waning interest in the game is why I’ve been ghosting a little lately. If I decide to get the game on release, you’ll probably see me on here more often.
Dash forward after light SPD is negative for Gief?
So anything loses to buttons after dash, or can he still v-skill into punish buttons on wakeup?
When u dash after SPD you’re at negative frames, but not punishable. Everything you would do afterwards (except maybe ex run grab or CA) will lose.
U can only use V-Skill to punish normals/specials with lots of recovery, so unless u predict a certain move, I wouldn’t recommend using it on someones wakeup.
So after playing as and against Zangief for a while, it feels like he should have a slightly improved walkspeed. Nothing crazy, but just a small boost. Then leave everything else alone. I must say that playing Rashid against him last day of beta 3, I felt that decent players were working way harder than they should to get around me messing with different strength projectiles before I easily jumped over his head and repeated.
Bad matchups are bad matchups but it was kinda dumb.
