Street Fighter Alpha 2/Zangief

Introduction

The big russian grappler who everyone loves to fight like he has aids. Gief is very good in Alpha 2, being able to tick very good unlike other incarnations. He is second tier, right below "The Big 4". This is the only game outside to SF2 (I hear SF4 also, but I havent played it) series to where Gief is pretty much gonna pile drive you when he gets close. So why use him?
