How to use your drive

[@bangdingowplays]

I like that cLK cancel! Thanks dude!

[@Wisequack_MGC]

In season 2 I've been doing a lot of OD Lariat > LV2 instead of DR combos. The drive penalty timer is so much more lenient in comparison, allowing you to recover almost 0.5 drive bars if you hold the LV2. This can be especially useful with LV2 > OD Lariat > OD Borscht if you need to regenerate a little bit of meter so you don't burn out before Borscht. Also! Hellstab > Lariat is hit confirmable... a must-train tool in Zangief's arsenal. Hellstab > OD Lariat has more leniency and is reaction-cancellable into LV2 allowing you to really punish people trying to backdash or jump out of pressure (for example, DR 2MP*blocked > 3MP > OD Lariat (confirm) > LV2).

I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the valuable information you provide! I have a suggestion that could make your content even more helpful: it would be great if you could create organized videos covering all the possible situations and options for gief. For example, you could make a video focusing on post-spd situations, with subtitles explaining each scenario. This is just a suggestion to consider :) thanks always for your hard word, and I wish you and your family all the best!!!

I'll try. Thanks for the feedback!

that OD lariat Okizeme into light SPD makes everyone mad, all they do is run away after that.

[@fujineetomori]

It's not "mad" it's genuine fear and terror

[@mvargasmoran]

@@fujineetomori my issue is that it is boring, I have even stopped following them. I just stand still and refuse to play that cat and mouse crap.

[@fujineetomori]

@@mvargasmoran they're not afraid to exploit what Zangief can't do (which is getting in), so why should you be afraid of pushing your advantage(which is making them retreat) whenever you can?

[@mvargasmoran]

@@fujineetomori because is boring.

[@BebederoCR]

I really like to buffer de SPD input while in the 11 frames of DR then there is some extra frames you can delay the punch and still SPD will come out

[@chadconnolly1138]

The most important thing for Gief is pressure. OD Lariat to DR is where I spend by far the most meter. What has helped me to limit DRC is to confirm punish counters like cr mp into hellstab. Youre right about punishing with sweep, meterless oki for Gief is really strong

[@CarltonBank]

What do you suggest doing when the opponent jumps forward out of the corner. I find jump lp and lariat to be too inconsistent

[@tman489]

If I want to be aggressive with my OKI yeah Ill OD lariat -> DR -> whatever, I've found when I want to recover Drive Meter but still be aggressive Ill instead Normal Lariat and empty DR to close the distance. Two things to add after a DR that you need to hard read for but still waaayyy too fun is DR -> Super 1 or Tundra storm

[@leongteng5]

What I do if i get a CH 5lk is I'll drive rush combo into 2mp but reset into 6hp or spd. If they catch on I'll bait a reversal. Not sure if that's the best thing to do

[@thelasthellfish6719]

Buenos días máster! Gracias por los tips de Gieff!! Alguna recomendación contra los crossups? Joraaashoooo

[@projectikaruga]

Yes, pick a god and pray. Hahahaha

[@SiberianLab]

Hay que posicionarse a distancia para poder detener intentos de cross ups. La otra opción es tener un montón de frames y auto corregir el OD lariat. También parry. En verdad, ninguna opción es ciento por ciento segura.

Drive it up

[@LakeEarth]

Is there any okie difference if you just get the 1 hit OD lariat vs 2?

[@TheFatManatee]

1 hit is significantly inferior

[@Wisequack_MGC]

There's no difference if the one hit you're talking about is the second hit. The second hit is the one that creates 38F KD oki.

[@LakeEarth]

Yes, I'm talking about when you're a bit too far and only get one hit of the OD lariat.

[@SiberianLab]

The KND is the same, but the distance changes if you only get 1 hit. You can still drive rush afterward, but the strike throw mix up could be more limited. For example, you might not be in range for l.spd or headbutt.
