The Basics
Combos
There are a lot of different combos out there, but I think it is best to separate them into practical combos and flashy combos. While it is sort of cool you can link jabs off of a close MK (aka sparta kick), I can't think of a reason you should.
Practical Combos
BnB's
Hitconfirms
Flashy Combos
Tick Throwing
Tick throwing is basically throwing the opponent after they get hit. The opponent is unable to be thrown during hitstun or blockstuun, but what makes tick throwing so powerful is that you can throw them immediately after hitstun or blockstun ends. This means the only way to escape a perfectly timed tick throw is to do certain moves exactly when hitstun/blockstun ends (reversal timing). Only moves that are invincible, airborne, or throw on the first frame can escape a perfectly timed tick throw. If you tick throw outside of their throw range, their options to counter you are even more limited since they will be unable to reversal throw you. The difficulty of achieving reversal timing and the threat of an SPD within blockstrings (or even combos) is what makes Zangief so dangerous at close range. Being able to tick throw off of any move is essential to top level Zangief play.
