These are awesome. Most content creators are not Zangief mains so they don’t really dissect the optimal options as far as this Good stuff Siberian Lab !
Hey just wanted to put some niche tech out there ive been messing with and think you and the audience would be interested in: Cancelling a normal into an SPD The reason ive been specifically working on this is for anti-DI shenanigans for being in burnout and possibly for optimal meterless punishes. So far ive found cancelling standing Lk into heavy SPD pushes gief forward the most and obviously does the most damage when reacting to a DI. Unfortunately the window is small but the benefit is huge if you have the motion down fast and have quick reactions.
You can do a bunch of things. If you want to be extremely fancy, you can regular lariat and super level 3. Also, any light cancelable button into Russian Suplex works.
@ oh yeah absolutely, the problem im finding is reacting to a DI quick enough with a light and cancelling it. In an ideal world a gief player wouldn’t need to rely on DI basically at all and rather rely on reacting with a light into SPD/Siberian Express for Punish Counter damage

Akis different lvl2 has different voicelines for each strength and they are always the same. it could help if you really wanna go for the lvl1 jump
How can we summon the Manon version of you, sharing such awesome tech. This is the best channel for Zangief players.
You are in luck, cause I'm playing Manon on stream in order to do some videos on her in the future. The first one will be my initial opinion.
If you get DRPC 5lk DRC you can actually go into headbutt or 5HK instead of 2mp/2mk!
