I actually somewhat like the direction for design this character took. The numbers on everything a little absurd but i think gief with a better neutral and neutral conversions and no oki on SPD would've been really intersting in SFV

[@Eggs5232]

Even with his problems, this Gief looks like a nightmare for other grapplers

[@christianyu1675]

No worries in getting in. He has the new armor move where he doest get any white life. Personally i like how they made zangief a more neutral play char rather than a 50 50 chance char.

[@SkyBungis]

Very interesting character. The damage and stun output is insane.

[@robgeorge4581]

Omega Gief is really really weird.

[@DaDoppen]

EX SPD is an interesting case. I think the post-combo options were unintended at first, in vanilla Omega you would restand them in this situation á la El Fuerte's Tortilla, allowing you to combo into stuff like normal xx special, EX stomping, LP SPD (For some reason you were in a throwable state. Could never get U1 to reach tho), or even another EX SPD. Double EX SPD combos could definitely end you outright. Also you can (Unless they removed it) use the grounded headbutt to extend some juggles, at the very least close HK in the corner.

Russian Stomp is from SFEX series.

Super fun playing him, those super connects are nasty

[@invincibleloonie]

yeesh this is some damage. I don’t know how I feel about it. This definitely feels like an all or nothing character and that doesn’t sound fun to play as or against

[@alhassanalneami5212]

You can link green hand and will knockdown

[@squilliam0909]

I always find it strange that unlike a lot of characters and how they make them more normalized (SFV Guile for example), they always want Zangief to stay just as polarized as ever. So weird.

[@RuhabDabeer]

Omega GIEF IS SFV GIEF

[@randolphthomasii7040]

Would Omega Decapre be Gief's hardest matchup?

[@aquablue3dsi]

Ok, but he has green hand in this one (despite it being nerfed)

[@kora2691]

Omega Zangief has 0 momentum, but at least he could do some serious damage if he gets an opening

[@YuleStag]

This dude sounds just like bafael. Idk
