Zangief General Thread: Our Russian Skies Are Protected

[buuduh]

Dude gief is top tier

[reaper2507]

so whats the changes since the last beta to live game ?

[demosz]

In the last beta, what happened after f+HP (headbutt) if I was mashing SPD and my opponent was mashing a 3f jab? Who would win? (Headbutt was +2 on block and SPD has 5frame startup, making it 3frames)

[melflomil]

I think it depends how close you are. If you are out if the jab range you can grab em .if you are close probably will get grabbed. That’s Just a guess though.

[Mnszyk]

Throws always beat hits if they trade on the same frame, SPD after +2 or better will always beat normals.

[Mnszyk]

You mean the " Hello guys, look at me I charge for 1 minute, comeon give me a crush counter sweep, do it please"-button?

Gief’s s.hp has WAY more range than sweeps and many lows. The hurtbox also retracts before the hitbox comes out, making it even harder to sweep: http://watissf.dantarion.com/sf5/boxdox/#cbt4/EC2-5HP-0

You’re exaggerating.

What is the grey hurtbox?

And the teal one is “throwable”, right?

Grey is proximity block, it makes people block rather than walk backwards when it touches the other guy.
Teal is throwable, yeah.

Can you check something like headbutt, c.mp, c.mp, CA? If it works what is the damage?

Doesn’t work, sadly - not enough range.

Is there range for Cr MP, Cr MP, CA on counter hit?

[LariatoGrill]

Zangief has the only character section without other topics
we need a video and combo topic or something like this.

I don’t know…he doesn’t play that good imo. not that bad, but nothing special here.

[metrokard]

[LoyalSol]

He has multiple anti airs but you gotta know how to space them. They all work at different ranges

[metrokard]
