Today we're looking at one of more unfortunate characters to come out of Omega Street Fighter 4, Omega Zangief! Ultra was actually one of Zangief's stronger iterations, but unfortunately Omega took him in a bit of a bizzare direction that didn't really work out.

I for real just want ultra gief to be the norm. Like yeah tone down green hand, but like the idea of “grappler who needs to get in but stays in really well” is literally why clark in kof is so beloved despite just being a generic white guy with shades. He’s a blast to see in action because everyone knows you let Clark do this when he’s winning, and gief was sick in ultra. But capcom just can’t let go of 2 gief and need him to be the guy who needs to get in, sucks at getting in, and once he gets in his rewards force him to get back in again.

Omega Zangief is neat in how he embodies the worst parts of the big body grappler. I remember the devs mentioning they wanted to harken back to sf2 Gief's "slow and terrifying" game design for SFV and Omega Gief is this concept to its extreme. It's just that everything on him is so shit beyond HUGE damage that he's only terrifying to a beginner. Even SFV Zangief executes this concept better, at least he has a vortex while remaining slow asf. I'd argue Hugo in both 3s and Usf4 embody this concept better. They struggle A LOT to get in, the journey to get to their end goal is painful. But you also truly feel like a giant who can turn the entire game around with one good read. He's just way more diverse in playing his role, thus making him satisfying. Just my opinion though.

3S Hugo is basically the Parry god so, he basically relies on Parry to do his job. Omega Mode Hugo is basically the embodiment of that, as he keeps a parry so with a follow-up. They tried to do the same on Zangief, but they fumbled it.

I think I understand Omega Gief's design. He's meant less to be a proper grappler as much as a... mountain. He walks you down using his parry, gets you to the corner where you can't run, and does half your life in one combo. I think that was the goal instead of traditional grappling.

But yeah I can definitely see why Gief just doesn't work in Omega, it's a good thing that SFV took more from Ultra than Omega for Gief... wait fuck no they didn't.

You can really tell the Omega/SFV Team had a specific kind of vision for Gief that they were just never QUITE sure how to properly implement it across both Omega and SFV. I think it's pretty inaccurate to say that this team "hated" Gief so much as their vision for him was inherently at odds with how Gief's kit had developed and what his players liked. The way you describe him in Omega as "A five year old's idea of what Zangief is" honestly sounds pretty close to the mark and I don't even think that could be considered a knock towards the devs. Gief is THE grappler. He's THE big guy of fighting games and trying to encapsulate and crystallize that into the whole of his moveset is pretty neat. A bit misguided and certainly not very successful, but neat in concept. You can really see it in how he's designed in SFV where they just go all in on "HE IS BIG RUSSIA BIG MUSCLES MAN WITH BIG MUSCLES WHO IS BIG". And that obviously turned out the way it did, but I can see where they were coming from, even if it meant removing such a good and iconic tool as Green Hand. You wouldn't necessarily look at Gief and go "oh yeah this dude's best move is a lil spinny chop that's on fire for some reason", but he also never truly got the replacement for it that he was looking for which just left him really wanting for some sauce.

Nice video. One thing that's less obvious about Omega gief is that his jump buttons were absolutely destroyed. Almost all of them have enormous hurtboxes, you can AA him with practically any button (I actually thought Dhalsim's back MK had been given an AA hitbox, until I realized it only worked vs. Gief). The EX SPD stuff is my favorite part about Omega gief, but the fact that it costs 2 bars now makes it hard to get much use out of it. It's hard to just "go for it" when it's that expensive. 18:12 another interesting part about the Green Hand xx SPD cancel is that it works on fireball clashes too. It's actually pretty useful against characters with a slow fireball like Dhalsim. Even in cases where it's not a true punish, the opponent might just stand there and get hit by it since they're not expecting something like that.

Crouching DP isn’t just a “quality of life” feature. Think about it this way, the main purpose of a DP is an anti air, but if you have to hit forward first then your character’s standing hurtbox comes into play. With the 323 shortcut, you can safely get a DP without ever standing up giving you even more reaction time then a traditional DP. That’s why Zangief and Rufus are allowed to do it, because it doesn’t really matter for their DPs. Why not other characters with similar 623 inputs that are not anti airs? Good question.
@Spabobin

there are other crouching DP shortcuts in Omega, like teleports and Viper's seismo. But there are also notable ones that got kinda screwed there, like Gouken's palm (which really sucks for his combos) and Rolento's stinger (trying to do standing DP causes some input overlaps that make pressure sequences much harder)

I really should do a vid just on like terminology used in fighting games cause a lot of it probably sounds bizarre to people not familiar with it.

@syrelian
@syrelian Жыл бұрын
Yellow mentioned it, but to elaborate, being +X means you're faster to get to act, which means you in turn have potential to go for more attacks, or prepare movement or defense for their retaliation, More Plus = Better, and being significantly minus(around -5 or so) is Very Very Bad, if you're ever more Minus then that things are probably about to be unpleasant, unless you're like, very far apart, SF4 Gief doesn't really have it but a number of command grabs will have you end up technically like -12 but also you're the whole fuckin screen apart so its a bit of a null factor For a way to visualize it, look at the various points where Yellow makes both Giefs jump after an attack, when the attacker is "Plus" he'll become airborne faster, and in turn, hit the ground faster, and the inverse is true when the attacker is "minus", how much so, and in which direction, affects what things both players can do in that situation(ya know, instead of jumping), if you're Plus, you typically can press a fast button like a jab, or Zangief's Spinning Pile Driver that is a 2 frame start up, and be likely to hit, or at least slap a Block, but if you're minus, an opponent can often stop you from continuing your offense by just slapping you in the face with their quickest jab, possibly without any counterplay if you're minus enough, eg -2, you probably just Block, or backdash or whatever defensive option you think is best, but if you're like, -7? Oh you're just dead, they're pretty much free to use whatever quicker button they want to start pounding on you, assuming they have the mental wherewithall to actually act on that advantage

It seems like they went with the direction of a true full grappler (hard af to get in, but you slaughter the opponent when you do). He kind of already does this, but he has his vortex so you stay in when you get in, so it's not as good. Personally, I wouldn't do either. Most other grapplers have ways of getting in, in return for being a bit weaker when they do. I'd make it so Gief was like this, but he was effectively the most difficult version (still strong and slow, but not to the point of where he currently is). I know Gief vortex is kind of his thing, but my issue is that it's not that fun to deal with and not easy to balance. Either he's always too shit to get in, or the vortex is so good you can't get out. And unlike other grapplers where there's a good middle ground of strong but slow and fast but weak, Gief has little middle ground. If you tip him even slightly in either direction, its generally too much anyways (he does have *a* middle ground, but that just means he has to be mediocre in general, when most other grapplers in said middle ground are at least decent if not good). USF4 probably is is the best version of this vortex, and even then its not necessarily amazing (to be fair, some of this is due to SF4 being jankier than V, and I never personally played it so I'm just going off what I've see here on YT). Also, Green Hand being unsafe on hit fucking peeves me. It should be safe or give oki to begin with, but if not that at least make it like -2 or something (I really, really hate unsafe on hit moves, in any context).

Ah yes, the reason why my main in SFIV was Zangief, good mobility mixed with with some really good tools that were buchered a lot in SFV.

To note, green hand canceling into spd on block is useful for punishing projectiles since it cancels from the nullification. Granted, this doesn't help him much. Gief is legitimately the second worst character in omega, only being slightly less shitty than omega abel, who is absolutely atrocious.

Something ive noticed as an issue with many grapplers best especially modern Zangief is he doesnt even get to use system mechanics most of the time. Before Red focus his Focus dashing was pretty much unusable on him and even in sfV he is so balanced around his VTrigger 1 that using V-bar on anything else is a bad idea.

Probably the most notable thing I learned from this video is that Zangief needs his Green Hand back lol Hopefully they give it to him in SF 6 considering there’s a LITERAL MECHANIC in which characters extended combos using green aura. Green Hand would be insane in that game!

He doesn't have green hand sadly, but his drive impact and drive rushes allow him to get in a lot quicker, as well as one of his command grabs having super armor

That was a fun half hour. Bafael also did a video on Omega Gief, but he is a lot more to the point and doesn't delve as much on Omega Gief's similarities to SFV's. Thanks for the video! Bafael's: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otlddNWDx6q1aX0.html

Although indeed weird and bizarre, it actually kinda makes sense that Omega completely ignored whatever universal changes Ultra brought to the game. I remember there was an interview leading up to V's launch with either Ono or Combofiend and it mentioned that the very first concepts and ideas for the next major entry for Street Fighter popped up as early as right after AE2012's release, and it just so happens that the developers over at DIMPS and Capcom used IV as a testing grounds environment for stuff that would later become unique mechanics or character moves in V
