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.

Moves List

Special Moves

Spinning Lariat: Press All 3 Punch or Kick buttons at the same time. The punch version negates some mid attacks and goes through all projectiles. The kick version goes through all low attacks, all low projectiles (sagats qcf+k), and all mid projectiles. The move gets hit by all high projectiles (sagats qcf+p).

Spinning Pile Driver: 360 + Punch. A short cut to pull of the SPD is to do a 270 degree motion. EX: f,df,d,db,b,ub,u + P. As long as you preform a 270 you can start and end in any direction. --Caliagent 16:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
