Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/Zangief

Introduction

Moves List

Normal Moves

Throws

Toward/back + strong: Zangief sits on the opponent's head, opponent always stays in front of Zangief. Sets up a crossup fierce splash when unteched. Zangief's most commonly-used normal throw.

Toward/back + forward: Zangief throws the opponent over his head, opponent always ends up behind him. Not as useful as strong because the opponent is thrown too far for a splash.

Toward/back + fierce: Gief does, I don't know, something to the opponent's face for multiple hits. Not really that useful.

Toward/back + roundhouse: Gief bites the opponent for multiple hits, also not that useful.

Down-toward/down-back + strong: Crouching version of the fierce throw, not that useful either.

Down-toward/down-back + forward: Same deal, not that useful.

Toward + roundhouse while jumping with opponent in the air: Zangief grabs the opponent out of the air and flings him behind himself. Ok range, but very rarely useful.

Command Normals

Toward/back + strong/fierce: Gief does a stupid little hop. The hitbox has like no range and beats just about nothing out. It was probably meant as a way for Zangief to be able to hop over opponents' low normals, but it's not very good at doing that. Mostly it's just an annoyance.
