Modern control zangief

[brodc]

Fix it, that is just absolutely disgusting 0 skill garbage.

[DEFINITELY ARNOLD]

Modern control Zangief loses his standing medium kick and crouching medium kick. This is his the best'est neutral/poking tool that Zangief ever have.

If you lose to Modern Zangief, I don't know what to say.

How do I counter the command grab where he sprints at you first, do I grab back? Jump? But if I jump he does his midair super? I'm genuinely asking.

Neutral jump then hit him on the way down. He can't jump while he's sprinting, he's locked in until the grab or whiff animation plays out or he gets hit out of it.

As a general rule, if you don't know how to beat a move you can pick that character then spam the move in a match, sooner or later you'll find an opponent who knows how to deal with it and they'll smoke you, then you can go back to your main and copy what they did.

Bro, 360s aren't even that much more difficult for a classic player to do just as efficiently as a modern player.
The only real boon is the walking 720, which it sounds like isn't the issue.
Your just getting bodied by Zangief period. The control scheme isn't the issue.

I agree that OP would get bodied by Zangief regardless of control scheme but I want to point out that in a tournament today (City of Mayhem 2) a professional street fighter player literally lost a match because he f'd up Lily's command grab twice.

Fair argument, my counterpoint.
By choosing modern Zangief, the only SPD you have access to via button is the fierce version. This has the shortest range out of all his SPDs.
Assuming you don't bother to learn a 360, you are kneecapping yourself by reducing the effective range in which you can grab someone, making back walking more effective. This could also very easily cost a player the match just as well as fumbling an input

[Ahriman]

I'm not gonna lie OP any grappler would wash you whether on modern or classic controls, Zangief on modern controls isn't even worth playing unless you just wanna troll a bit because you still have to do manual SPD inputs to get the different ranges.

[Muna]

Zangief on modern was a problem at first...till you realize dude has absolutely no neutral.

Haha, that advice should be pinned.

Fix classic control zangief, just absolutely disgusting 0 skill garbage.

Sincerely,
A classic zangief main

Modern Controls Gief here. The only advantage is 1 button command grabs. The loss of your other tools, makes punishing and getting close to your opponent harder

Or just go to training mode, set the bot to do the move and find the punish yourself
