Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting/Zangief

Zangief

Zangief, while being a name impossible to render in the Russian language, is a massive Russian wrestler famed for beating bears in the yearly Hell in a Cell matches in Moscow. This generally involves trapping their heads between his legs and then sitting down, or spinning around with his arms outstretched as you used to do as a child in order to get a head rush.

In a nutshell

Zangief is a get-in-or-die-trying character. Your match will either be a painful experience at distance walking into projectiles or long range fists, or a close range glorious explosion of nearly unstoppable throwing. If you like to grapple your opponent into submission and don't mind working for your reward by taking a bunch of hits to do so, Zangief is your man.

The Basics

Zangief's crouching Roundhouse is probably his best normal. Abuse it.
