SFV: Zangief Official Character Guide

[@TheGamersState]

You know what I like about these guides? They are great for beginners. I know there is more to combos than what these videos show but for someone like me that needs to get the basics down, they are great.

[@quatrodecaneco5035]

+Ninetales Commander Indeed man. These videos really helped me in my early training days.

[@DJEvillincoln]

+Ninetales Commander True indeed. I haven't played SFV yet but there's ALOT of differences between this one & ULTRA SFIV. A bunch of little things add up to a buttload of differences. hahah

[@TheGamersState]

Evillincoln Careful! If it gets too much of a "buttload" it will get censored XD

[@hoodwynk1389]

I could use combos....or I can just command grab and use my v-skill to bring them closer to keep command grabbing. And use the lariat to avoid fireballs so I can keep command grabbing.

[@DJEvillincoln]

This is awesome. Really dope that these are posted. Lots has changed from the last SF.

[@nerise100]

Fix his lariat and give him green hand. And then we'll have a character

[@cleverestx]

Is this guide out of date since Championship Edition? Wanting to start to heavily get into this game/character soon.

[@Rigatoni-Pasta]

Not really, this is just the basics of Gief and is very well done for a beginner. I'd say if you like playing Gief, start with the trials and then watch some videos on Snakeeyez. He's the best Gief in the world

[@jackek96]

MUSCLE POWER

[@Leprosyyyy]

>Has more than enough tools to achieve that goal I think he could use one more tool to help him get in. A green tool. HINT HINT.

[@adielwilson8749]

Amen I miss that move so much

[@gamingmilk829]

MUSCLE SPIRIT!

[@trevindavis8890]

With Zangief Just don't be a hero, go for the grab

[@abelperez1434]

I can't believe I didn't know the first two basic combos.

[@Yesnog05]

you also forgot to mention that his headbutt can nullify projectiles and gives him a 1 hit armor. And if you time it right and be in the right range, you can punish them with the spinning pile driver or the running grab. They will never see it comming :3

[@Harmless212]

headbutt has no armor

[@DiogoEiki]

Red Cyclone!

[@MrSlaynman]

this ain't too bad, but gief's cr.hp doesn't crush counter and his v-trigger is around -6 if you just tap it making it a bad thing to do to get in

[@chuk90]

It seems zangrief's critical art deals more damage than most if not the most damage, then what is his disadvantage?

[@abc2390986]

It is difficult to setup overall. Hence the damage is meant to be a reward after the risk.

[@brandynlovett4054]

chuk90 Its also pretty hard to perform.

[@BugsyBgaming]

You get stuck out vs projectiles, they took away throw invincibility which is wack and the guy is huge and slow

[@richaomestre3]

My favorite character this game!

[@davidalejandro3115]

Go ! Zangief ! Go !

[@alfredpianoman2543]

@5:13 was that a mistake?

[@alfredpianoman2543]

oops, never mind. my video just froze

[@comicbookbullies]

Damn I needed this guide like 2 weeks ago. Been getting my shit kicked in with Gief lol.

[@Wladislav]

The description and use of EX Air SPD is wrong. It does not do more damage, it's weaker than HP air SPD. The difference is the range and the fact that you don't hang in the air like with the other air SPDs allowing for quicker recovery and being able to combo into it from an anti air crush counter or V-trigger.

[@OmegaIL]

Zangief used to be patriotic, he doesn't say a word about MOTHER RUSSIA anymore. And what with all the nicknames? Gief used to be Red Cyclone, and Cammy used to be Killer Bee not this technique something-something.

[@BigBoss-kn1yx]

Stand strong (hold) it was 2 armor hit

[@willpina]

Akira Ono-san would be proud

[@Astro-ls1zq]

i cant do the double full foward circle combo cause of that fucking jump he does.

[@AudreyYun]

pro wrestling is the STRONGEST

[@eljaykooljay]

At the end of Overview: Range Zones, I think he meant to say standing light punch instead of crouching light punch as an anti air.

[@nielevans2947]

+eljaykooljay He doesn't actually mention crouching light as an anti air. Either way, standing light punch, crouching fierce (he calls it heavy in the video), lariat and air grab are his anti air moves. You could even use forward fierce for close anti air situations.

[@eljaykooljay]

+Niel Evans Haha my mistake. I don't know how I heard light instead of heavy.

[@nielevans2947]

+eljaykooljay No harm done. It can be hard to hear this guy sometimes.

[@jjrog3643]

ALEX!!!

[@cenobr]

guief has serious problems against Ryu , Ken , nash and dhalsim , why he no longer has the green hand , this makes it very difficult to approach characters that attack the distance , not to mention that he now has less HP than USFIV

[@fzerobrawler2737]

LAURA NEXT PLEASE!!💚💛💚💛💚

[@rodolfonogueira2173]

i need Dhalsin and FANG video guides to beat survival,im so bad with these two.

[@quoshinken9209]

7:14 spd is called "spinning screwdriver"

[@matthecomedian9472]

I loved street fighter so much I even rap about it.....Over Zangiefs music! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3WvepmPhtR-m8k I absolutely loved this game. Such happy childhood memories. Looking up Chung Li's skirt when she did that spinning bird kick and throwing the controller across the room when Sagat beat you with nothing but Tigers.

[@Gyrobob]

Huh, neat

[@alxjamuschua]

just give us Alex

[@xdlolaylmao2932]

Alex DLC is going to be available in March 30 i think

[@Fool___Arcana3]

+Bastian Muza Nuñez yes he's scheduled for release on March 30th

[@Twisted_Individual]

Lowest tier in whole game, nuff said.

[@jpmuniz5515]

Alex trailer please

[@jjrog3643]

+1

[@wedgythewedges5489]

head butt into critical arts,,, air command grab,,, btw the critical arts should change to final atomic slam,,,

[@justinlaplante330]

The one character that's not in a Dragon Ball z game I honestly think could run Goku s*** I do know by the way the Goku would probably beat zangief but I don't give a fuk

[@SolidMikeChannel]

His names ends with "geef" not "gi-ef", capcom

[@stuartallardes1051]

+Solid Mike Actually, if you're using Russian pronunciation, 'e' is spoken as a 'yeah' sound. So if he was saying his own name it would sound like Zan-gi-yef. Ignoring the fact that Zangief isn't any kind of name in the first place, of course ;)

[@topebin3287]

Command Grabs sure take skill ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)

[@GemmaBee14]

What's your point?

[@AnthanKrufix]

It's pronounced "Zohn-Gee-Eff" not "Zan-Geef"

[@wearecatyouarerat2802]

360 - -

[@Kilaprofi1998]

ALEX NOT ZANGIEF

[@ShayneRawls]

They ruined his theme D: I miss Green hand

[@Tonypikmin]

Shayne Rawls I'd say they ruined his tier, but his theme is awesome.

[@TheFDream]

Capcom ruined this character, play alex or laura instead. sheesh even birdie is a better grappler

[@gabrielprandini2629]

Zangief is dead. Every professional player agree. Congratulations developers, you should be fired.

[@nickclark1815]

Or they could just give him a buff in an upcoming patch.

[@gabrielprandini2629]

That should have happened already. Too late.
