Great poke due to its range and hitbox; TC follow-up is extremely lenient, but only works after counter-hit, Punish Counter, or Drive Rush; can perform TC follow-up on whiff; 6f blockstring gap when canceling to 5MP~MP

Active frames 4-8 cannot hit grounded opponents, but can anti-air cross-ups; useful anti-air with slow startup; Punish Counter gives a ground bounce, can follow up with Drive rush buttons midscreen or an autotimed 3mp when cornered.

Long-range sweep; counter-hit is also HKD +45; has some natural juggle potential without Drive Rush (no Hard Knockdown if juggled into); counter-hit/Punish Counter causes opponent to fall forward with a different animation

Notes
Button must be held for 20f; wall splats on hit; wall bounce on PC allows follow-up juggles; KD Advantage depends on height and distance from corner; projectile invulnerable on Zangief's body (not legs) while active until landing; landing recovery on whiff is 20f if fully charged, or 12f if only partially charged; whiff landing recovery is cancelable into attacks (but not movement) starting on 2nd frame; if active frames 2-6 connect right as Zangief lands, he does not bounce away and the landing recovery becomes cancelable into attacks (-1 oB if not canceled)

Notes
Forces stand; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; lenient cancel window (final cancelable frame will not combo to meterless Lariat); the arm anti-air invincibility is not very useful due to Zangief's large head hurtbox (will only work against long range jumps with extended hurtbox); special/DR cancel is delayed until after active frames

Notes
Low crushes during throw/lower body invuln frames 5-26, but not airborne; great hitbox priority, but long recovery makes it a risky counterpoke; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; has juggle potential; Punish Counter causes wallsplat after tumble if it reaches the corner; wallsplat keeps opponent grounded and throwable (strikes still put opponent into limited juggle state)
