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 consummate grappler, Zangief players must have extreme patience. Expect to play a game where you will repeatedly be defeated in your attempts to get in... but understand that that's okay. Because once you get in once, it's very easy for Zangief to deal a huge amount of damage all at once, keeping the opponents guessing with his strong Option Select game to battle wake-ups. Also, Zangief's footsie game is surpsingly potent, and he can easily defeat you without a single Spinning Pile Drive. If you enjoy using a fast-paced character with mix-ups galore, stay away from Zangief. But if you enjoy patiently waiting and picking just the right moment to strike, look no further.
