Welcome to the Spinning Pile Driver Club, how Spinning Pile Driver are ya?

how spinnin' am I? I standing 720°... with no buffer.

[@BambinoBlambert]

not yet in sf6 but ill find a way soon enough 💪💪💪

[@carrytheflag225]

One thing that really helped me out was that there is no chip unless your in burnout. So I can walk and block fireballs and overall be less pressured into doing something. I can effectively stall neutral if I have the lifelead so they need to come to me.

[@BobbyDorf913]

Yup, there is no health chip but blocking does reduces your drive gauge. If you approach parrying just keeping you from getting put in blockstun or push backed as much!

[@cjcannon328]

Love how he has a kick parry that works against drive rushes! It feels really tekken like

[@BobbyDorf913]

At least it's consistent on those, normal kicks can be sussy lmao

[@DeathDasein]

SPD, Aerial SPD and SA3 can be input in any direction. You can do a circle backward or forward, it's the same.

Glad I could help! Out of curiosity, if you're coming from DBFZ, what kinda video would you like to see to help you get into Street Fighter?

[@KellyDudleyB]

@BobbyDorf913 just some matchup knowledge . Been having problems fighting yuri

[@BobbyDorf913]

​@Kelly Dudley B Best tips I can give you is her DI is dd.HK counterable, and f.MK goes right over her projectile sweep, if you're close enough you can get an SPD when she's still in recovery

I do be liking Big Momma's! 😭 I might have to look into her... preciate it!

[@FGCScrub]

This my friend, is a great guide - best I've seen on Gief. I will switch my main to Gief in M controls because I'm a piece of sh*! and I suck at the game. Many thanks for this.

[@BobbyDorf913]

I've seen some pro's saying modern Gief is the whey, so don't feel bad my friend!

[@SevastovTv]

Thank you so much man, can you explain how to do it his lvl3? I'm using Classic control and I can't do it 😢

[@BobbyDorf913]

His level 3 you just have to do two circles (go all around your D-Pad or stick twice). Very easy to do if you do it during an animation, like during a jump, or a jab, or dash. From standing can be difficult, but there's cheat, look up secret 720 motion, and you should find it. I hope that helped!

[@Heydad956]

Your easy SPD blew my mind oh my God.

[@BobbyDorf913]

One of the best tricks in the game tbh

[@711_skiddlz]

Best guide for gief I've found so far Just as a nitpick though, the font changing at the beginning made it kinda annoying to read. Video liked.

[@BobbyDorf913]

I appreciate it mate! I tried to choose fonts that didn't change it too crazy, but I can tune it up a bit for the next one. 💪

[@PigOfAnger]

Never played sf but Zangief looks cool!

[@only2comment98]

Good explanation on the not needing to do a full circle. Bur whattabout his lvl 3?! 😂

[@BobbyDorf913]

SPIN TO WIN.

[@ShinAdamSmasher]

Cool guide -especially if it's your first. I'm still looking for a guide that can give me the rules of his jumping heavy kick. I never get the opponent to bounce off the wall with it.

[@BobbyDorf913]

Preciate it mate! Not my first GUIDE, but is my first SF6 guide, ya feel me? Jumping heavy kick bounces them if you fully charge it AND it's a punish counter!

[@fullr3d950]

Use Lariat when they jump be patient…. They always jump!

[@BobbyDorf913]

Patience is something I have to work on brother, but this is the truth

[@kis4ketchup]

BTW, if your finger gets sore from raking them across the directional pad remember to ice 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off to reduce inflammation 😊 or maybe it’s just me until i get a fight stick

[@BobbyDorf913]

Definitely gonna be using this lmao, my hands too old :'(

[@jonahblock]

If you chose not to follow the body slam with the elbodrop, you will be in perfect range to hit an unreactibke Siberian express

[@BobbyDorf913]

Great to know!!

[@jonahblock]

@@BobbyDorf913 it can be blocked after all but its a good follow up. the cool thing about giefs different tap grabs is the positioning after. If hit the spinebuster i like to follow it up with the russian stomps canceled into the spinning clothlines

[@sergmcmuffin]

The fact that his counter works on drive impacts is NUTS

[@BobbyDorf913]

He needs it 😏

[@angeltower9]

As a juri I do not appreciate the DI tip, but zangief is my pocket main and i will absolutely abuse it against other juri players.

[@BobbyDorf913]

Sorry blud, them toes are not safe from the GIEF.

[@stevepapasidero1563]

Im struggling to get the air spd after OD larriett in the corner... any tips? Great video btw!!

[@BobbyDorf913]

I appreciate it mate! 1 tip I heard was that you can do the 360 early, then hold up and OD BD, since this game stores inputs for a long time. I usually do a 4269 + OD Borsch Dynamite (air SPD), after the OD lariat, I delay until right when lariat ends and they're falling in front of me

[@Undertaker93]

Any tips on doing drive rush during combos? Like you can go pretty for just doing basic combos and setting up tick throws but knowing his high damage combos are the difference between winning/losing

[@BobbyDorf913]

If it's a canceablle move, just press 66 (forward, forward), and that automatically gives you drive rush. If it's not canceabble like after 5H (standing heavy), HOLD down drive parry during 5H and press 66 the moment 5H is done. Game let's you buffer the parry and will cancel into a drive rush immediately.

[@dregnoff9361]

LUV ur editing style Only thing missing is ur voice

[@BobbyDorf913]

Thanks mate! I'm trying to implement voice overs more, but it's a bit complicated

[@Shupppa]

For the mathar russhia!

[@jaystarr6571]

It's time to git sereouce!

[@marveler8994]

Really good tutorial and I will definitely be practicing most of these, but the fonts were a bit hard for me to read. Otherwise dope shit

[@BobbyDorf913]

It's a fine line between style and accessibility, I zigzag it constantly my friend! Hope it didn't take awhey too much 🗿

[@kis4ketchup]

The font change made me laugh the first time I saw it because I thought it was saying something else… Until it didn’t 😂 Stylin, indeed. 😎

[@ArnoldMejia]

KZbin tip #1 the pause bar is at the bottom of the video and makes bottom text hard to read- try putting it on top.

[@Vini_fortuna]

Syberian Express comand is half circle back + kick. No need full circle anymore.

[@BobbyDorf913]

Correct, I don't think I mentioned the input for Siberian Express tho, just Borsch Dynamite (which is a 360).

[@vladalexeev8529]

I play Zangief because I can't mash dp move. I played Abigail in SfV and Gief is most similar to him

[@bdgctruz5786]

I love gief… BUT JESUS CHRIST MY THUMB HURTS DOING THESE HALF AND FULL CIRCLES😭! Playing gief on xbox trying to do the input on a xbox series s controller d pad is painful as shit after a couple matches. DAMN YOU BIG HANDS!

[@BobbyDorf913]

I feel your pain LMAO, Street Fighter hurt so much more than DBFZ its crazy

[@bricesony]

I have a problem with zangief, the grab commands work well for me since I'm mein goldlewis and I had very strange commands, also the problem I have is the air grab because it has the same command as the normal grab, this one comes out very easy for me but when I want to do the air grab in combos I always get the syberian express ... I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@BobbyDorf913]

You have to make sure you leave the ground, by doing the whole 632147 input (basically 75% of the circle). If you press KK too fast it can cut off the last bit of directional input, making you NOT jump, this is what makes Siberian express com out. TLDR, make sure you're doing the entire directional input in time.

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Bro what is the trick for the corner lariat into Air SPD? The timing is insane, i cannot figure it out

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Turns out doing OD ASPD is much easier, but I've seen players combo into a normal ASPD and I have no idea how still lmao

[@BobbyDorf913]

No clue on normal ASPD lol, I've only used the normal!

[@Incinerate1212]

Did they remove the spinning hands into jackhammer ?

[@MammaSomari]

No. Jackhammer happens if you don't hold the button. You can then dictate if it goes left or right by holding a direction instead. It's less damage than comboing into super 1 or df. medium punch -> OD air grab but allows you to reposition.

[@yeezerlee800]

i got a ps5 controller, should i use pad and stick to play him?

[@BobbyDorf913]

Up to you, mate, whatever you're comfortable with! For me the D-PAD is the easiest!

[@cc_chance3]

I can't get the SPD after the heavy kick to land during the combo at 2:04. I'm either missing the SPD input and jumping or getting the input but my opponent is to far. Any tips?

[@BobbyDorf913]

This one was a bit tricky for me as well, if you're jumping it means it's not getting the entire input, just the end when you hold up back or up forward. I got it to work more consistently by delaying the Borsch till the VERY last second, when the st.Heavy kick is done.

[@MortoEContento]

The spd motion is just SO stupid. I went modern after years of fighting against the execution and now my errors derive from my choices, not from the inputs. Makes a world of difference. About damn time too, I can't wait to see the end of classic controls.

[@BobbyDorf913]

It's weird at first, but coming from Iron Tager I'm a bit used to it now!

[@ggs4869]

how do you make the opponent bounce off the wall? for me he just slides down

[@BobbyDorf913]

For the corner combo, it needs to be a PUNISH COUNTER! After they do something punishable like a whiffed DP, the next hit while they're recovering will always be a punish counter!

[@GW_01]

He was my main to begin with put his SPD practically never works.

[@BobbyDorf913]

It can be sussy 🗿

[@ravagedDust]

A better Gief than me. Im not bad but could be better. This is some solid tips. Good work.

[@BobbyDorf913]

You can ALWHEYS get better, even the best can improve. I appreciate it tho!

[@ricoross5306]

I cant land the borscht dynamite from that first rush combo 👀 any tips?

[@BobbyDorf913]

Delay it, if you go in training and turn on the bar that shows when you can perform the next action, then practice inputting the Borsch at the very last second after the st.Heavy kick. I've also heard you can do the 360 input early, then hold up and press kicks, but I haven't got that to work. Hope this helps!

[@ricoross5306]

@@BobbyDorf913 ayo thank you. I def was trying to buffer it right after hk and that wasn't working. Tried holding uf but that wasn't working. Got it once I looked at that frame bar. I need to go over the practice room settings. Actually pretty impressive practice room.

[@BobbyDorf913]

As a lab monster, this is the single greatest training room I have ever used. I have more fun just labbing then playing the game sometimes tbh.

Beginners don't even know the terminology lol. I'm struggling to follow along. Text goes by quickly. Stylish though

[@BobbyDorf913]

What's tripping you up mate? If you go to 0:16 there's a key that shows all the notations, the move names you can find in game on the command list, and the timestamps let you get back to each section quickly, if you got any questions let me know!

[@JetStrmSam]

Video is polished but lacks specific street fighter knowledge. Good basic fundamentals but won’t work. Forward mk is a very punishable and telegraphed move to NOT be thrown out just in neutral. It works using after grabs to close distance from oki. In addition his counter only works on kick attacks, and is risky and impractical like in SFV. Your best friend as Zangief are your crouching light punch that has the fastest start up in the game. As well as your medium punch string, charged heavy punch with one hit of armor, and down forward medium punch combo launcher. Learn to effectively space your attacks to make them safe as most moves now on block are unsafe. ESPECIALLY ZANGEIF! Utilize drive rush cancel to close distance and make your forward heavy punch (headbutt) safe and combo into launch and lariat. Then use grab or strike mix and rinse and repeat.

[@BobbyDorf913]

Good points mate, I'm planning on making an in-depth blockstring guide that goes over a lot of that stuff! And for the 22HK, I did mention it only works on kicks, and as a last resort if burned out. Preciate it!
