I actually think Geif's changes are super unique. He was insanely reliant on his drive and super meter in order to get combos and non SPD damage. You'd spend 4-5 bars to get any real damage. Rather than make him less reliant on that (which they still did), they just jacked his meter gain. Spend it dumb, you die, spend it smart, you get refunded. It's super dope.
an observation another comment made on another video is that they upped his drive chip immensely since gief has no safe special moves he can cancel into on block, so now his head does all the chip damage
Buffed, for sure. Top tier? I dunno, sounds a bit like a case of "oh wait my man Gief is not rock bottom now?" I don't mind either way as I've mained him forever anyway. I welcome buffs instead of nerfs to any character anyway, that's how you make things fun (but feel free to disagree, I'm am old timer after all) Also my lariat still can't hit in the back like it always did so I'm still sad ;)
they def wanted to cut down on catch-all anti airs like lariat in this game which i like except in the cases where they dont have a good anti-crossup option like gief
Lariat will be a super strong move if it can hit in the back since all you need to do is pressed *two punch button* . No character can cross-up Gief if they make Lariat hit in the back. Heck, Gief already has air SPD that makes him scary to jump.
Clearly you haven't watched Snake Eyez or the Japanese players Itazan and Junior. Sure, he has bad match-ups, but for what it's worth, the character is not in a deficit like you claim. I mean, did you even watch Nephews video? He's showing everyone Gief's tools.
Come on, people, don't start with the "Zangief is top tier." He's not, and likely never will be. Saying he's top tier is just a way to get him nerfed faster, which he absolutely doesn't need.
My most biased fighting game take is that grapplers will never not be the easiest characters in the game, and with these buffs it’s really proving my point

Zangief Haters: "Argh! Zangief players play like mindless idiots! Why don't they use their heads!?"
Zangief: "And I took that personally"
they get reallmy mad when i use the headbutt lol
That clickbait title absolutely cookin these fools in the comments
Golden engagement idea
@@whizthesugoiI’m sorry are you coming onto me?
@@sparkybig9799 no I'm saying that the thumbnail is a golden engagement idea
Snake eyes rubbing his hands together …..gooood, gooooood.
This was fun to watch.
how are you phisically able to not scream "JACKHAMMER" when using the lvl2
Word
nephew got negative 10 emotions thats why at least his face isn't showing any emotions
@9:38 LOL!! DUDE'S NAME IS INTHEBUTTPLS!
They asked nicely
they want Snakeyes to win Evo.
Gief got great buff and he's definitely not low tier anymore (maybe now at least at B+ tier). I had fun with him yesterday SPD'd Akuma's scrubs lol

The amount of times lariat not hitting on cross up saved me are countless. a lariat that hits on both sides would keep me up at night lol

Nah, he is top tier. No excuses now.

@@thepuppetmaster9284 good thing it doesnt right meanwhile Akumas crouching HK is basically a wall around him on all sides.
Man, Zangief is so fun to watch when he's happening to someone else
Start playing Gief so you that high every SPD, every loyal fans
This was the exact video I was hoping for you to make! Thanks!
I'll be waiting patiently for the season 2 chun li video :>
Snake! Snake! Snaaake!!!
Gief buffs! We loyal fans are rejoicing
5:37 that wasn't a jc spd. His throw whiffed because you got hit by jab.
to be fair geif was only top tier in 1 game. Alpha 3.
Oh my god the UMVC 3 soundtrack is so good Nephew
2:55 eh nya 🐈
lol
Mandem a cat now
10:22 Nephew tries Confuse... It's super effective!
His light attack combos damage actually got nerfed 😅
Mena while Im still struggle to get Zangies SA3 right without jumping :)
You need to buffer behind something. Whiff button, blockstun, after jumping, after blocking. If you are fast enough, you can buffer behind 1 dash.
@@Saitoshiba Yea.."fast enough" was the problem with my fat fingers on a old keyboard
@@Vanderfate buffering behind a dash is like, you will need to use 1 or 2% of the time. Majority of games, you just buffer behind something.
Oh this title sure baited me to click
You play gief in hitbox?
You using a hitbox?
So real!
I'll believe it when I see it. XD
so many top tiers now
New Zangief main!?
Why does he struggle against Ed ?
Ooooooooooooryaaaaa!
Please show us Ryu next time.
He's definitely better but Top Tier is a reach and a half.
It's not. He is definetly top tier. No excuses now
Some bad matchup, but he rocks a lot of the cast now!@@git_blame
@@git_blamepeople said manon was top tier when the game came out 😂
What a clickbait joke video. He’s mid tier at best. Anyone that doesn’t believe this no clue what they’re talking about.
Can we not bring attention to this please so they don’t nerf him back lol
He still has the same problems as before… no tools and bad match up against everyone. High damage is good only IF you can hit the opponent.
The downplay is crazy
They still need to get close, and you cant talk shit in SPD range
Clearly you haven't watched Snake Eyez or the Japanese players Itazan and Junior. Sure, he has bad match-ups, but for what it's worth, the character is not in a deficit like you claim. I mean, did you even watch Nephews video? He's showing everyone Gief's tools.
Nope they buffed his knee. Plus 1 on hit and safe on block!
Uh, yeah, that’s been his character ever since SF2 😂
A great clickbait title to revert the Gief buffs I see

It’s a video title, he’s not gonna get nerfed buddy
He is. Face it. I welcome nerfs for him
He was top tier in SF4 for abit lol
@@itstaeday crazy I don't remember zangief being super strong in sf4
@@git_blameI hope gief haters never get good at street fighter
Praise the edits skipping the stupid long level 3 cinematics.
My most biased fighting game take is that grapplers will never not be the easiest characters in the game, and with these buffs it’s really proving my point
"proving my point" 🤓👆
And they made Akuma bottom tier.
Lmao get the hell out of here with this misinformation 🤣😭 Gief is BARELY manageable even if you have pro player reactions
