They both said it in a Japanese short interview some time ago. whatever Hagejin doesn’t like SFV in general and Itabashi switched to Birdie. As far as I know, even Justin Wong said that Zangief is one of the weakest if not the weakest character at the moment. I agree that Laura and Zangief are not the strongest character but hwatever…
At WNF’s I saw Snake land a crush counter st.hp then headbutt-cr.mp into ca but I can’t get it to land in training. The ca always whiffs cause it’s out of range. Am I missing something?
No, it depends on the normal you’re parrying. You’re usually somewhere around even when u parry a medium attack, very positive when parrying a heavy, and punishable when parrying lights. But again, it depends on the normals and special you’re parrying. The more recovery it has the more advantage u get for parrying it.
Hello guys, I’m just new here, but I read the 1st and the last 5 pages. I have big problems with buffering 720 into f.HP,c.Mp into CA, I play with the Hori FC(PS4/PS3/PC) fighting pad (not the FC4pro, the newer one).
I’m always too slow for it, it rarely connects, any tips please?
Edit
Oh and any tips how I can get the 100 wins in survival hell mode with Zangief?
not really tech per se but I tried doing half circle back LP+LK and would just do normal throw but when I end the half circle back at up back it would do RBG. just thought it was a funny thing to bring up. any thoughts on why this happens?
All I can say is you have to do his CA really fast in order to combo it in from c. MP. It’s worth learning, however. Same goes for c. LK, c. LK xx CA. It’s just worth having in mind in case you land a stray hit.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it a waste. You can get some pretty solid damage from this and even get a CA.
