Not in HD Remix. It would be f, df, d, db, b, f, df, d, db, d, f + Punch. Or, in arrows:
:r::df::d::db::l::r::df::d::db::l::r: + :p:
Remember, the code was changed. Even though we still call it a 720, it’s not exactly a 720 anymore. You can still DO it with the code you listed above and, in many ways, it’s faster. The other code just lets you do it from the ground without jumping.
Yeah, to be honest, I have a lot better success with Gief online compared to even my main characters like Cammy and Fei Long. I think it’s because, though, many people aren’t aware of how to fight him. A long time ago, before the game came out, I said it would be bad if Gief was the best character in the game (and got subsequently flamed). The reason why I said that is because you HAVE to fight Gief a certain way. There is pretty much NO character in the game that can fight Gief with their normal strategies. Everything changes, and it all becomes SUPER defensive. If you know how to Fight Gief, he’s a nightmare to win with. But if you try to fight him like you fight everyone else (which is what most players online do), Zangief pretty much gets to eat people for lunch.
So while Gief IS better in this game and is good, I honestly think there is a dearth of people who actually know HOW to fight him. Once you run into a bunch of those guys, he gets far more annoying to win with. That’s the thing with Gief… if you are playing against Gief with anything less than 100% optimized anti-Gief strategy, you might as well not be using any anti-Gief techniques at all.
