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.

Make the opponent block crouching Short to tick into SPD.

Advanced Strategy

The addition of Quick Double Lariat its the most important strategy of Zangief, now you can counter crouching attacks with it, Standard Lariat its still useful for projectile evasion but its more vulnerable to low attacks than the last revision.

SPD tricks of Champion Edition are still useful and have no change.

Combos

-j.d.HP,c.MK,Lariat

-j.d.HP,c.LPx2.s.LK,c.HK

Match-ups

Vs. Balrog (boxer):

Use his Crouching Roundhouse against Boxer legs

Vs. Blanka:

Punish his Vertical Roll with headbutt

Vs. Chun-Li:

His best match up due to her short pokes,but now she had a Kikkoken,is useless anyway thanks to your Double Lariat,now the problem will be about beign trapped with her Kikkoken and crouching Roundhouse strategy if you jump.

Vs. Dhalsim:

Double Lariat can evade projectiles,you will care about his teleport but its a nice opportunity to SPD him

Vs. E. Honda:

Double Lariat can defeat Sumo Torpedo,your main problem will be the Sumo Splash.

Vs. Guile:

Double Lariat can evade Sonic Boom but watch out with Guile's long pokes and Flash Kick

Vs. Ken:

Punish SRK with SPD and evade Fireball with Double Lariat,also crouch Fierce its great against Hurricane Kick

Vs. M. Bison (dictator):

Headbutt can defeat Stomp,but watch out with Dictador long pokes,Quick Double Lariat its more effective against Psycho Crusher startups.

Vs. Ryu:

He is like ken,but he had a better Fireball and a worst SRK.

Vs. Sagat:

Double Lariat evade Tiger Shots,specially low ones.

Vs. Vega (claw):

Headbutt can defeat Flying Barcelona
