My gameplan is somewhat similar however I have a lot of ways that I hide my spd, most of them come from snake eyez. But overall great video! Always nice to see a fellow zangief player
The last section on confidence and having the correct mindset was huge help for me. I've been struggling with a negative mental attitude but I will start applying what you said. Thank you.
I didn't discover your channel until after I had stopped playing SF6, but I've been following it since I'm a 'Gief main, and seeing so many good videos with advice for playing him after all this time has inspired me to pick him up again and see how far I can get with him before Evo.
Siberian express is decent because of how much super meter it builds. you are completely right about needing to earn the usage of it though. DR cr mp frame trap is dope imma start using that.
Again, this was a much needed watch for me. Recently I've started shying away from lights and using Knee a bit more, lol. Definitely need to reverse those, use 5HP more, and get better at whiff punishing. I just be letting ppl press all kinds of buttons cause I want to punish with SPD, lol
I use most moves once in a match except for tundra storm and down heavy punch. all the other fake stuff, I do once for match, or maybe twice, 1st round Siberian, and later another one at the 3rd round.
Bro.....the knee is awesome if spaced correctly....great for getting in and also baiting dp....great to use against players that abuse cr.mk...great option out of drive rush....also a nice tool for hiding super3 buffer
Knee, in general, is a horrible move. Its use is very specific, and abusing it (with that recovery) is a recipe for disaster. After DR, you have way better options imho. Getting in is char/opponent dependant.
@@andoru69 even if you do space it, you won't be in a good situation for a 14f. If you want plus frames for such a slow move, just use headbutt (which pushes Gief forwards anyways). Knee is very situational. It shows since almost every Gief player stopped using it. The only one I've seen is Veggey, and he gets punished more often than the others.
So, i have to return to this video and comment: I was addicted to use my mediums, and, my boy, its a fucking mistake. I went to training mode and basically relied on lights for many situations that i faced before, also, used lights for Headbutt confims on normal hit (Basically HB -> crlk -> stlp -> OD Lariat). After some training, i went and got in many fights. Basically, i went from lows 50's% win rate to near 60% win rate. From now on, this video, at least for Season 1 Gief (we will get BUFFs on season 2, RIGHT?), is the bible for how to play as Gief.
Hey would you put on a guide against fighting kens? I'm having massive trouble against master kens online. Not sure what to do or the game plan against them.
We are so close to the patch. Thus, I'm trying not to go hard with guides. I'll probably do a quick guide for some moves tho and what to do with Zangief.
Against strange air moves, like Blanka or Honda, wheelkick is very good. Also, whiff punishing Juri. Imho, wheelkick is very good in the corner as a PC punish.
If you can use it from tip range you can actually use it as a punishment bait tool since it is punishable when landed normally closer to the opponent on block.For example,if you land the move on block with just only Gief's toes connecting and your opponent tries to react with their punishment,Gief can actually recover in time to block their sweep to return the favor with his own.It doesnt work with the entire cast but the mass majority it does.
Did you know that you can activate siberian express from a down forward and then do the input normally? I dont think this has any real use as you would have to pray the opponent doesnt do anything to jumpscare them. It just allows to activate it while crounching, but you have to commit. Best used in corner?
This guy is the best SF6 Zangief content creator out there.
I really appreciate all the good vibes I get with the videos. Thank you!
Do: Play Zangief
Don't: Switch character's
Do: Asks for buffs
Don't: Getting the buffs
That's the only gameplay, comrade
We play gief. Of course we love to land the worst grab.
Do: believe yourself
Don't :lose faith in yourself
These videos are so helpful, I often have to catch myself when I'm tossing out too many medium buttons
Happens to everyone. The urge to use mediums is hard to fight.

Good luck there! Thanks for the comment.
Standing heavy punch vs Lily is your life saver, thank me later lol
It's very easy for Lily to whiff punish that. Use it carefully.
Best video yet man. We need this type of coaching
I appreciate that!
Best Gief content creator. And i loved the Valkyrie Profile bgm ahaha
Ahaha. I love that game! I'm trying to get back and finish a lot of pending RPGs. You'll probably hear FF8 next time.
I’m guilty of all of these bad habits. Appreciate the video!!! These are incredibly helpful

Damn thanks a lot, it changes my life!
Wow, the stHP is so true. People got blast at distance by this move.
My best friend is 5HP.

5HP is your friend. Remember that. Haha.
Thanks a mil for this
I'm working on the newer version of this one. I hope that one helps more.

@@SiberianLab of course dont whiff it, space it correctly in neutral to get free plus frames while being very close to ur opponent

@@SiberianLab you know what....after testing ur right.....just got to adjust my gameplan to using headbutt instead of knee
I think knee is good just as a meaty option when You are too far and You want keep close.
And Just like that you got a Extra Sub Thanks for the content
Thank you! I appreciate all the support

Do you feel like the far Siberian Express should have the ability to cancel into a stop?
Similar to Ken's run or Kimberly's run.
I think far siberian should be removed, and regular one should get the armor. That would fix it.

Can you do a video on your options when their conditioned
I'll keep that in mind! Is there something you like to do?
Well i think walking down becomes easier.
Siberian express will 100% work once every match if you time it right
There's not much to time since the move is way too slow
@@SiberianLab not really , I've seen pros get clipped by it regularly
It's very rare to get it when they know the mu.
Any thoughts on when to use forward heavy kick? (The cartwheel kick)
Against strange air moves, like Blanka or Honda, wheelkick is very good. Also, whiff punishing Juri. Imho, wheelkick is very good in the corner as a PC punish.
@@SiberianLab awesome, thanks for the reply! I have been using it wrong and have been getting punished for it lol

@@zeokenx2oh shit good to know! I’ll be aware of my spacing and give it a try. Thank you
Nice idea for video. I feel that zangief is the worst char in execute the general plan of the game of get the knockdown and pressure.
Definitely hard!

Best used in corner?
Probably the corner, so you minimize the option of backdash
Do: SPD
Don't: Not SPD
Yeah. Sounds counterintuitive, but true.
THANK YOU! THIS HAS HELPED ME (RUPTUREDEGGSACK OF SACKRIPPER) BECOME STRONGER!
