Not exactly but I do have that thread bookmarked.

This next image is very appropriate.

Yea. Guile/Gief going to be a 10-0 matchup. Easily. Guile looks like he has the best zoning he’s ever had, and gief lost his anti zoning ex GH.

My PSN is Bum1six3 and my stream is www.twitch.tv.Bum1six3. I’m always down to help, give advice [or receive advice] and play matches.

I’m excited to play it out of curiosity just to see how bad it is lol. And I’m finally starting to come around on how horrible Gief is; he’s so incomplete. Can’t believe he’s gonna be like this all year smh

Thanks Bum. Looking forward to watching the videos and I’ll add you. Will you join our discord chat and work with us to discover tech and improve this character?

Definitely worried about an even better projectile zoner than Nash (which is already a 7-3 match-up). I guess all we can hope for is that Guile’s fewer escape options will balance things out a bit.
The classic Gief vs Guile match-up.

Thanks for the videos and for offering your help.

So Gief will stay the same for the rest of the year ? maybe after EVO ?

yes, so i think everybody should quit playing gief, may be crapcom will give a shit about him.

With a 27 frame startup VT, it’s fine against 30 to 35 frame recovery hadoukens of SFV. But it’s still significantly slower than EXGH’s 13 frame startup.

If Sonic Boom recovery is similar to SF4, at 20 frames - VT won’t be able to punish it on reaction. And that makes for one very happy Army Colonel. :slight_smile:

Just an FYI that we now have individual match up threads. Please contribute and should make things easier to find.

Need an answer Sims wakeup ports that doesn’t lose to jump automatically. Try this. It allows a confirm of the port.

Awesome. That helps a lot.

I posted some slight theorycrafting on Cammy MU in Cammy MU thread. I dont have experience against high level offline Cammy, so feel free to add something. I just find that MU very honest and simple to play, not really a ton of stuff to look out or specifics to remember.
Does anyone have problems against certain characters? I plan doing breakdown on all of Zangief vs. character matchups once i gather enough experience. Just holla at me if you want to certain MU breakdown before another.

Now that we have match-up threads for every character I’m definitely looking forward to seeing them being filled by your wisdom. Maybe that way I’ll eventually get a higher rank than silver and stop being deranked over and over.

Please do Rashid. I feel that he’s full of gimmicks.

Zangief statistically proven to be top tier: v-league.pro/tierslist

SAY WHAT!?!?!?!

haha waiting for the nerf! Cant believe Gief got a 0 in top 100. At least top 10000 we get at least a 2 - 8 matchup.

Fix link please I really want to see this.
