Evolution of Zangief's Screw Piledriver (1991-2023)

[@Drew_D]

One of the most iconic moves in fighting game history!

[@sparkybig9799]

Shut up drew

[@fur4xx]

True, shit was so freakin hard to pull off but damn you can do so much damage

Up there with the hadoken and and Scorpion's Spear

[@jayjaws2478]

Fun fact: Zangief created this move when he was wrestling a bear and both him and the bear got caught in a cyclone.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

I love that the name itself came from the Fans and Zangief Rolled with it since

[@someaccount5200]

The most Russian thing ever

[@snoozeflu]

I think you're making that up.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

@@snoozeflu Nope. That's what Zangief Tells you in SF6 Word Tour.

[@UncleTermite]

A steroid cycle .

[@schikey2076]

i love how smooth they made the transition after SPD in sf6.... instead of magically hopping back up, he rolls backwards...

[@BadLuckGino]

Kinda like how Batista does after delivering his sit down powerbomb.

[@brianswartz7529]

Holy shit it looks sooo good.

[@vancebocas5636]

I kinda liked the bounce back up. He just drives the opponent so hard into the ground he bounces off the ground back to a standing position.

[@MiguelGuillermoSanchez]

I just now noticed the anti-air version is a tombstone.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

It’s actually a nerf. A lot of long time gief mains don’t like it because it makes it impossible to keep pressure on immediately after landing one

[@VicDrums83]

4:19 dude flew into orbit.

Who needs a rocket lol?!?

Gays and straight players like Zangief

[@GoogleUser-wf7bn]

I love how you can easily identify the era of gaming by the soundtrack and audio effects alone.

[@ld.egocabrajal]

This move is so iconic. In Chile we've been calling this move "El Chupa Poto", which translates to "The Butt Sucker". El Chupa Poto has been a popular joke in the chilean SF community, from the underground arcades to the established ones like "Juegos Diana" since the 90s. The Atomic Buster a.k.a El Chupa Poto lives on as one of the most dangerous moves in fighting game history... and also an easy laugh for us chilean gamers.

[@dieguensen]

Entré al video sólo buscando el comentario del chileno por el Chupapoto!

[@Eastsid3]

I've always liked this move because a regular one of these would probably paralyze you for life and the auper/ultra version would kill you.

[@Ryusuta]

The EX games' version of Final Atomic Buster have always been my favorites. Something about that brutal back-cracking he adds to it is so satisfying.

[@mvp_kryptonite]

This! Also, and the flight to space

[@elprofedebiovicio9124]

The reach in the old Street Fighters is totally broken. The dude just teleport you to his arms.

[@defectived_vn]

like the hands of jehuty

[@CactosS]

you thought the can get a swipe and you got teleported instead

[@Yuiichiiro]

Who wouldn't want to finish in Zangief daddy's big arms?

8:40 I had only heard the English version until now, but I adore just how extra the Japanese voice goes.

[@verifeli]

As always...

[@numb_2_dapain]

I'm more impressed on how the opponents are getting up so fast after being spin-slammed on their neck

[@moenibus]

that's the stupidity of these games

[@derekofbaltimore]

They dont... In reality the rest of the map exists only in the mind of a coma patient

[@lukethomas6900]

Still one of the most awesome and coolest looking moves in Street Fighter

[@scienz]

in the good ol days of street fighter 2, seeing anyone perform that move in battle was an awe inspiring moment

[@QuattroSG]

Sure did, it’s as memorable to me as the hadouken or bird kick

[@awesomereviews1561]

SF4 Zangief is the GOAT. He was a pleasure to play back then.

[@AW-jy4bt]

He wrecked house. Loved playing as him. I found only Ryu and Zagat were tough to play against with him. Maybe Akuma

[@keltrepes2534]

Zangief was the character I used when I played the game for the very first time back in 1991. I had zero clue what I was doing and Dhalsim kicked my ass.

[@AgentB-0711]

5:00 Poor little servbot got pummeled lol

[@leperbikers8098]

this move he can smell a variation of cakes

[@chrissmith8216]

"Nobody gone talk about how high Zangief can jump for his size?!"

[@hellwolfgaming3507]

Dude never skips leg day! Or any day really lol!

[@AnhDonoi]

In a series where we have people throwing energy from their hands, a man than can stretch his limbs teleport and breath fire, a green beast that can produce electricity, a sumo wrestler who can fly and a shape shifting monster, a muscle man jumping 10 to 30 feet in the air is almost normal. Unless you talking about EX3 than nah it’s wild me jumping outa orbit

[@johnashiru3952]

One of my favourite moves to pull off as a kid

[@mir3877]

Zangief created this move to peek at them gurlz

[@MinisterGold]

In the Marvel vs series, I was pretty sure if you spun the dpad/joystick as much as you could, Zangief would turn red on the final piledriver. I wonder how much more damage it did.

[@tiagolopes2768]

Angel

[@rickyricardo4331]

They're all pretty brutal, but 4:00/6:00 was just flat-out hilarious! 5:01 is definitely me as a kid vs my cousins Cabbage Patch dolls.

[@PegimampooS]

Those SFEX are made by Arika, not Capcom. Some of their Critical Arts really hilarious indeed! 😂

[@insertname3293]

let's be honest with ourselves we clicked becuase we saw zangiefs-

[@cmurphy0707]

SF6 to me is the best the move ever looks and the CA version is a guaranteed match killer in the right hands. That’s what puts this version above all others.

[@Corsa15DT]

needs timestamp and description.

[@johnkamadeva4747]

Goddamn EX Gief version is so OP that he’s literally Piledriving you into the orbit lololololol 🤣😂

[@andreasottohansen7338]

I don't know what I love more, the versions where he does the spinebreaker over the knee, how gorgeous the SF6 version looks, or just watching Zangief do his piledriver on opponents his size or the elite few that are bigger.

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

0:30 It's kinda sad how the special does that much damage but then when they show the super in the next segment it literally does like a tiny bit more damage...

[@davechung]

Wow into space is really something 😂

[@arsenblackwell]

9:09 Indeed evolved.

[@thefrikking5648]

32 años repartiendo Piledrivers, Zangief besto grapperl !!

[@koshaz3x]

9:09 best part of the video.

[@The4stro]

it sucks that the newest street fighters don't do final atomic busters

[@mappybc6097]

The CA from SF6 is easily his best super. It fits Gief's persons as a wrestler the best. Oh, and the english lines are ten times better than the Japanese ones.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

@@mappybc6097 The SF6 version of Gief enhanced his character by enhancing his wrestling style, something that wasnt attempted before, since SF devs were used to simply recycle the basic SF2 concept of his character (same for other veterans too). Only recently they are allowing themselves to try new things and evolve SF veterans.

[@spookytanooky]

@@mappybc6097Nah, his Japanese voice is more epic.

[@kindlingking]

​@@spookytanookyit's garbage. Makes him sound like a japanese punk. English voice nails both russian mannerisms and overwhelming but also cheerful presence Zangief has.

[@georgejackson4426]

Since I mained E. Honda I hated fighting Zangeif in the arcade because that damn screwdriver piledriver could grab you from half of the screen away and it always hit for half of your energy.

[@Dennyspeper]

When everyone pause the game on Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick, i pause the game on the Zangief Piledriver when this bubble butt appears

[@ahfimiwonawun]

The thumbnail looking crazy as hell! 😂

[@victorjosephreyes9804]

The Last one VS Blanka, it's like referencing their match up in SF2 animated movie.

[@adrianmacsantos]

Now I know why 9:07 is the most replayed part of the video, thanks guys.

[@andrehooker3229]

Still the most coolest move in Street Fighter oh and that damage in SF ex sheesh

[@stephencook7337]

If you spin the joystick in the versus games, Zangief will turn beet red during the FAB and it does more damage.

[@slayer808]

A Later Stage Zangief Was A Nightmare Edit: Is Still a Nightmare

I can see that the thumbnail was made like that intentionally

[@demonico917]

The impact on this 25% or less health-powered SPD 9:23 ... :O Is it so bad that I wanna see this be done animated but much more visually brutal? Just imagine the first hit, Gief slams his wrist across your neck, choking you, and then slams you with so much power on your neck your head explodes, or your whole body... Such an incredible CA. The shockwave is what really sells it.

I watched this video on a whim. I didn't realize that I had never seen his Crital Art in SF6 before. Holy crap!

[@BOMBON187]

You forgot to mash the buttons and rotate the joystick on MvC 1 & 2 so he can turn red and take a little bit more damage.

[@TRD315]

Reminds me of WWWF wrestler Ivan Koloff.

[@Craig-bz2iu]

I swear Gief is on the juice. As his sausage is decreasing in size by each and every passing SF game.

[@sgatdethman]

Graphically speaking I forgot that SF went through a MK and Virtua Fighter art style.
