The Zangief Video

[@Sr.Lagartijo]

I'm a simple man, I see a 1 hour Zangief video, I press Like

[@nh3heathen348]

As did I good sir

[@projectikaruga]

Time to get serious for a 1 hour long video, my loyal fans

[@SiberianLab]

Thanks! Sorry for the length.

[@Cinderkin]

Im not even kidding when i say this. I have watched this video now 3 times over the last 2 weeks, and just hit Master today with Gief from Gold 1. Literally all thanks to this guide and his season 2 buffs. Thanks!

[@МирославКръстев-с7и]

This guide is really helpful, since everything is clearly demonstrated, all the buttons are explained not only separately, but also how they fit in Zangief's gameplan. I recently hit Master with Cammy and decided to do a complete 180° with Zangief. Before watching any guides, I hopped into Ranked to see how he plays. I was losing A LOT by overly aggressive players and I knew those were things I could easily stop if I knew my buttons. This guide helps tremendously. As you said, the threat of an SPD is way stronger than the SPD itself. People in low Diamond keep jumping out of fear, using DP between strings and on wakeup, leaving themselves for a big punish. Now that I know what to do, I can finally ruin people's days :)

[@SiberianLab]

Keep the grind going!

[@terminl1327]

Oh this really is THE Zangief Video

[@SiberianLab]

I don't think anyone is as mad as me to make an hour video, haha. Thanks!

[@RickWa]

You've always been one of the wiser, more patient Gief players in my eyes. I definitely watched this all just to help provide myself with some extra knowledge as well. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@SiberianLab]

I try to do my best. Thanks for the kind words, Rick.

[@151fdp]

I recently hit diamond in great part to this channel.

[@WillyMerc]

Same here. I’m at plat 5 and hopefully diamond soon

[@walkdeep]

Thanks for this! Only thing is I wish you had a section for bnb although you did show some combo routes every so often.

[@dazolvini]

The lenght is fine, theres a lot of information together! Thanks for the content.

[@SiberianLab]

I was afraid the length could've thrown people off. So far, I'm glad it's being watched.

[@Apkooi1]

Locking in! Thank you grappler!

[@zeeet1]

The only thing that i missed from the video, was examples. Loved to see some examples from replays or something like this. And corner pressure, how to abuse when you put your enemy on the corner. Other than that, excelent new video, as new Gief player!

[@SiberianLab]

You have a good point. I didn't put some cause I have several of those in other videos. However, I feel I could do a few more videos with better examples!

[@zeeet1]

@@SiberianLab Thank you! The feedback is more because im a new SF6 player and i still having some strugles and with some examples would be better to understand some points, and how to put preasure on the corner as well, thanks for replying!

[@dobiqwolf]

Wow, that is a long video. Thanks a lot!

[@goodfellas1001]

The leg reversal is great against Akuma. Dude's online seem to spam heavy kick heavy kick punch punch like that's his only move. Pretty obvious sometimes when he's gonna do it. As obvious as Ken players doing flaming shoryken on wake up...

[@SiberianLab]

I haven't tried since it's so risky due to the other options he has. If they whiff the 5HK and you are crouching, the punish you get is far better than Tundra Storm.

[@naklyaFGC]

I have realized light pressure in this game is great but I hadn’t considered the 2lp micro walk thing specifically. Anyways, banger video kerplunk

[@mvargasmoran]

I was waiting for the secret sauce to get to Legend in under an hour.

[@SiberianLab]

Nope.

[@Glickstick]

jump scared me by saying my name i was dozing off

[@SiberianLab]

That was the idea, hehe

[@WafflesItsumi]

Found out some stuff I never thought to do thanks man, might start playing SF6 more.

[@SiberianLab]

Hell yeah!

[@bangdingowplays]

This is so helpful, thank you!

[@SiberianLab]

Thanks for the support!

[@ZazankoVT]

Perfect! Long time i was search a advance guide of zangief, there is only begginers guide and well, there is a lot time ago that im not a begginer with zangief xd

[@SiberianLab]

You came to the right place. I'm trying to achieve a balance with all the info.

[@ComputerFace24]

I'm gonna keep coming back to this vid it's great. If you could do a matchup vid on ryu that's def one that I think changed a bit in season 2.

[@Edzward]

I feel like when you are in Burnout, a lot of players will try to DI you to go for a stun, as some characters (Cammy, Blanka, Guile, for example) have kick based DI you can try to react with a Tundra Storm. Won a couple of rounds thanks to that.

[@SiberianLab]

If they combo the DI from very plus buttons or DR, Tundra does not come out due to how slow it is. If Capcom changes the start up to 3 or 2 frames, it would be the immediate response to that situation.

[@Edzward]

@@SiberianLab Not only that. Maybe one or two hits of armor for non-kick based attacks (including projectiles) would greatly improve the move. In the current state there is absolute no reason to use Tundra Storm over a simple charged heavy punch. ☹️

[@5thunders191]

GOAT

[@arkanesky]

I'LL TAKE ON ALL OF YOU!!!!!!! EXCELLENT VIDEO KERU SENSEI!!!

[@tomroeser5828]

Oooooomg yes thank you for this.

[@SiberianLab]

You are welcome!

[@WillyMerc]

Keru back at it again ?!? 🔥

[@SiberianLab]

I poured my soul. Haha.

[@mcwine18]

You’re a god, thank you 🫡💪🏻

[@SiberianLab]

I really appreciate you liking this video. It took a bunch to do. Thanks!

[@projectikaruga]

I only use Russian Suplex when: - At the end of the round, after a DI or a Punisher Counter, just to built meter Or When I have near 2 bars, so I can have reverse options, basically Super Level 2

[@SiberianLab]

I don't think it's a bad idea. You have to be careful with your opponent meter, and the damage you get from the throw. I recommend ending the combos with SPD more than Russian Suplex, tbh.

[@UZBYM]

great video bro

[@mranz5191]

amazing video !!!

[@Eidlones]

I have real trouble pressing all 3 P for OD Lariat, so I have it set to L2, and L1 being DI cause HP+HK is rough for me to do consistently. This leaves Drive Rush only available as MP+MK, which I find really hard to put into combos. Hitting MP then MP+MK, then back into MP or whatever is really hard for my thumb to pull off so quickly

[@SiberianLab]

Whatever works for you. I think using macros for two or three buttons is not a bad call.

[@workoutfanatic7873]

Thanks so much my man!

[@SiberianLab]

My pleasure! I hope it helps.

[@andoru69]

gahhhhhdayyuuummm this is long

[@SiberianLab]

Ahaha, yeah!

[@vicente321]

Would you ever do a guide on mirror matches? That is my biggest weakness, it always feel like other zangiefs are thinking outside of the box compared to me.

[@SiberianLab]

It's not a bad idea. I'll consider it, cause I need smaller videos after this one, haha.

[@Stabrinality]

Its funny calling express good oki, coming in as an ed main trying to learn gief. Im used to that free kill rush full mix oki off any touch haha

[@SiberianLab]

Yeah, oki is not something we have in abundance with Gief.

[@datafogao]

Got sf6 today, time to study up 🤓

[@SiberianLab]

Get to the grind!

[@hernique]

time to get serious

[@SiberianLab]

1 hour of seriousness. Haha.

[@hernique]

@@SiberianLab when there's so much good information, one hour seems short. thanks for this btw, i've watched it 3 times in the last few days and already learned A LOT, this is like my bible now.

[@BebederoCR]

MAESTRO

[@SiberianLab]

Gracias! Espero te sirva.

[@jakerobbins5674]

THE GIEF BIBLE

[@SiberianLab]

I hope it can be seen by every new and old Gief players!

[@VDViktor]

32:00 So, its cool and all, but it never works in a real match, at least for me. I play on EU on low master mr. If you ever go cr jab jab into headbut - yeah, lol, you will get mashed out instantly cause it seems like EVERYONE is mashing cr lp. Hell, even getting in range for a cr jab is almost impossible, cause of cr mk dr meta. Tbf, 9/10 when i play someone - they will even mash cr mp/ cr mk on my +4 headbutt. Like at 36:40 you ltierally say "cr jab jab into st mp wOrKs wOnDeRs, but will lose to cr mk". So? What wonders does it work then lmao, EVERYONE's gonna press cr mk there.

[@SiberianLab]

If you condition your opponent, you can go for more risky options. To be honest, 2lp spaces 5mp pretty well, and the hurtbox is bueno.
