Zangief
Known as the "Red Cyclone" in his home country, Zangief is the paragon of country pride. Trained by fighting grizzly bears in Siberia, Zangief uses his extremely powerful wrestling techniques, including the Spinning Pile Driver (which was said to have been learned when he got caught in a tornado while wrestling bears), fighting for the pride of Russia has become Zangief's main goal in life, especially after being noticed and hired by the Russian government to represent them in the world Street Fighting circuit.
In a nutshell
The quintessential grappler. Zangief is a power character designed to take hits and deal that damage right back at the opponent once he gets in close. Grapples, however, are not his only forte. He does not need to get up close to instill fear - just him being Zangief immediately sets off warning signs to the opponent. While the fear of his dreaded Spinning Piledriver is natural, Zangief players must also make their opponents fear his other useful tools, such as the Banishing Flat, which eats up non-EX/Super/Ultra/flaming fireballs and sets him up for a free Jab Piledriver if within range. He can also play footsies surprisingly well with his Lariats and sweeps. As a grappler, his only true weakness is being full-screen distance away from his opponent. Characters with good zoning tools or fireballs, such as Dhalsim and Ryu, especialy pose a major threat to the Red Cyclone.

Special Moves
| Name | Nickname | Command | Notes | |
|
Spinning Piledriver |
Spinning Pile Driver | 360 +  ex
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Zangief's defining move. A command grab whose range and damage vary depending on the version. The Light version has the highest range but lowest damage, the Heavy version has lowest range but highest damage, and medium is in between. The EX version is slower to start up but has invincibility to compensate, making it a good defensive option, although non EX SPD is still a strong defensive option due to its range and only 2 frames of start up. Due to the low startup frames, this also makes it an excellent tool for punishes, letting Zangief punish moves that are usually safe on most characters. Your goal in a match is usually to get in close and either land this move or make them scared enough of this move so you can hit them with other stuff. After all versions, you can whiff a Medium Banishing Flat to get in close for oki. | ||||
| File:No image.png |
Banishing Flat |
Green Hand | dp + ex
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ The classic Green Hand. Useful for anti-projectile, combos and just moving around the screen. The Light version is generally safe on hit at -2 (although beware, because certain Ultras and SPD's will be able to punish it), but Medium and Heavy unsafe on hit against the whole cast. Medium is mostly used to get in after a Spinning Piledriver, and Heavy is there for the extra movement. The EX version is particularly good, for it has frame 1 projectile and strike invincibility, making it so Zangief can reaction punish a lot of projectiles for a bar, and giving him essentially a horizontal DP he can occasionally just throw out. EX Banishing Flat is also slightly plus on hit rather than minus, which means Zangief can pressure after into an SPD or another combo into EX Banishing Flat, which is quite scary. | ||||
|
Double Lariat |
Lariat | 3p | |
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Zangief's main anti air, although do know that you should do it as late as possible, as otherwise it might just lose. If it trades, you can combo EX Banishing Flat afterwards. Zangief's upper body is invincible, which makes this a passable (although not great) wakeup option, but it will lose to low hitting attacks and throws. Can go through and punish projectiles at close range. | ||||
|
|
Quick Double Lariat |
Quick Lariat | 3k | |
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Has lower body invincibility instead of upper body. Whiffs much faster than regular Double Lariat, the main use of it is doing it to get past a projectile without blocking it and taking chip damage. | ||||
| File:No image.png |
Atomic Suplex |
Double German Suplex | (near opponent)  +  ex
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ A command grab that is harder to range than SPD, but has much better okizeme. After it lands, Zangief can mix up the opponent in a lot of ways, be it with a crossup Body Splash, staying in front, empty jump low, empty jump SPD, etc. Landing it is quite specific, though; You will usually only land this after a Focus Attack that crumples, or EX Green Hand>Red Focus. | ||||
|
Flying Power Bomb |
Running Bear Grab | (far from opponent) + ex
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Zangief runs towards the opponent and command grabs them. Not very useful due to its very slow speed. The EX version has armor, but it's still not very practical to use. | ||||
Super Combo
| Name | Nickname | Command | Notes | |
|
Final Atomic Buster |
Super Combo | 360 + p
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Big command grab super. Cannot be jumped after flash, making it a scary offensive and defensive option. It has 1 frame startup, giving Zangief unique punishes on specific moves. However, its use is much more limited than it seems, due to it being a Super. Zangief will have to spend meter most of the time on things like EX Green Hand or FADC, making saving up for a super usually unwise. | ||||
Ultra Combos
| Name | Nickname | Command | Notes | |
|
Ultimate Atomic Buster |
Ultra Combo I | 360 + 3p
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Big command grab Ultra, cannot be jumped after freeze, making it a very scary offensive and defensive option. Frame 1 startup means it can punish moves that are usually safe. This move is better than Super purely because it's not tied to your super meter, and thus you can actually use it. | ||||
| File:No image.png |
Siberian Blizzard |
Ultra Combo II | (in air) 360 + 3k
|
|
|
~~ Uses and Strategies ~~ Air-to-air command grab Ultra. Very good due to its mixup potential, making the opponent having to guess between SPD or Ultra. Can also catch backdashes and DP's. | ||||
