I didn’t play much but I saw many videos and I know he’ll be my main. What I noticed is that it seems everyone playing has different frame trap/attack patterns… There will be many different styles.
Man Gief feels so good you can just body fools by only using normals
Normals are cool.
Do you get more frame advantage when you hit someone meaty? I’m able to combo F. MK into CR. LP if I hit the F. MK meaty. Not sure if that’s an intended feature of the game or glitch?
Yeah you do. That’s a normal thing in every fighting game.
Ah ok, cool. I’ve played characters with counter-hit specific combos, but never any that had meaty specific. The more you know lol.
Basically if you hit a move on the last active frame that lets you recover 1 or 2 frames faster.
Gief’s V-Skill is just too godlike. I know it isn’t totally wise due to the white life, but closing the gap using only V-Skill makes you feel like such a badass. It is honestly one of the more fun features I have ever used in a fighting game and it really makes his character feel unique.
Watching that tourney it seemed Gief’s v-skill was better than Ryu’s (as it’s being used right now). Snake Eyez succesfully parried a bunch of stuff and got decent amount of v-gauge from the parry + white health, whereas every time Gootecks tried to parry one of Tokido’s projectiles he’d get punished afterwards. Maybe he could have guessed and cancelled into another parry though.
This is kinda random but does anyone have a list of BNBS for Gief written out somewhere? I’d like to start getting familiar with them. And watching match vids and piecing them together is a bit too time consuming. Trying to see what characters I want to invest time into once the games released.
Here is a video I found after doing a quick search

I didn’t watch the whole video, so keep in mind that by release some of these combos may be RIP. However, it should give you an idea of the nice combo potential Gief seems to have in this iteration
That video has cancels into EX spd.
That video was posted like 3 pages ago
Oh my bad, I haven’t been keeping up with the thread that much
No I’m just on SRK too much. That’s the only way I know LOL.
Some of that shit I’m sure has changed by now any way
Lol. Yeah I can’t say for sure, but something tells me Gief probably won’t be comboing into SPD during the final version, and his Air SPD certainly won’t be grabbing DPs out of thin air lol. I’ve been known to be wrong about this stuff though, so we’ll see. Either way, this character is just too fun.
Air grabbing SRKs on reaction is hard as fuq, don’t think you will see it that often in a real match.
Zangief is one of the most balanced characters in the newest version at the moment and he is soooo,soooooo,soooooooooo much fun.
The newest Zangief is like Beta3/Beta4 Zangief, but with a better anti air lariat (oh yes baby), but they removed V-reversal into air grab (hands down, that shit was ridiculous).
Yeah that was almost certainly in the game by mistake
Honestly I prefer the nipples to be visible, I’m distracted by them being nonexistent like with Gouken in SF4.
