It’s three different suplexes cut together for trailer purposes
I’ve noticed it and can’t say I like it, but I believe it was done to reflect the “defensive” side of his V-Skill.
I guess it’s more likely that someone at Capcom realized that the USSR is no more.
Could be to highlight his new cyclone thing and his iron body motif. But also could be to make him less Soviet, but if that’s the goal they are doing a really shitty job.
I really feel as they’re trying to be more P.C. He literally turns red and spins like a cyclone. The name is perfect.
I wonder why Zangief’s stage is an underground base with criminals (I mean, there are guys with kalashnikov in the background).
Illegal bet fights in the lower levels of the factory
Wouldn’t want the wrong people sneaking around there, hence the armed guards
Yeah, but Gief is a superstar, he likes to be in the ring, cheered on, under the spotlight, why would he fight in illegal fights ?
Snake Eyes is a great grappler player but he’s a fucking idiot in this case. Alex was one of the more popular 3S characters despite being mid-mid low tier. There’s multiple Japanese Alex players (pretty much all of them mentored by KSK) who have done well in tournaments over there. There’s like 3 or 4 very high level Alex players in Japan. 1 of them (Genki) is the only Alex to ever get to Top 8 at SBO. There were 3 Alex specialists in So Cal during the peak years of 3S that did well in tournies for the most part.
In comparison; there’s only one dude who was gdlk with Remy (Pierrot), there were very few Remy players in general. Very few Hugo’s outside of YSB and Hayo. I can’t name any Elena or Necro players. There was one dude in Japan who used Twelve at super high level. There’s two Q legends and one of which is Kuroda (the other is TM), no one in America or anywhere else approached that level. Not a lot of Ibuki’s too despite her being a very good character who has a decent chance against Chun.
Least popular 3S characters are Twelve, Sean, and to an extent Necro. Everyone else definitely has quite a few fans. Not to mention that Alex, Q, and Urien have been heavily requested.
So R.mika sneaks into this shit to see Zangief? Man she probably got gangbanged by all the Russians.
The thing with Alex is, he was the “main” character of the SF3 games.
He got promoted and marketed heavily of course people like him.
Someone has to post this…

You nailed it good sir
Sure, technically he is, but it’s hard to actually stay the main character when you’re surrounded by Ryu and Ken and Sean and Oro and your actual story is just hidden off in the corner somewhere. In order for Alex to really be the main character, Capcom would have needed to stick to their guns and give Alex his own supporting cast that all related to him in different ways. As it is, only Hugo really relates to him directly, and Urien only indirectly.
Same thing happened to Abel in 4, but worse. In SF5 I think they realized it’s not going to work, and didn’t bother.
Nowadays, you could probably make an argument that Dudley is more of a SF3 rep than Alex.
I’m actually stoked on Zangief’s inclusion surprisingly. Left a much better first impression than some of the other recent character reveals.
All ye haters leave him and his OG WW8 status alone. HE FITS.
Unless he’s not a star wrestler anymore, hence Combofiend’s “we could only have one wrestler”…

Those Ono hint pics were a dead giveaway. Not surprised at all.
He looks awesome, extemely bulky. Reminds me more of his SFA3 version. He hasnt aged a min. Lol
Did you guys notice his face during his win pose? So much personality.
