Has Zangief ever been considered top tier in any Street Fighter?

I don't remember the actual tier list but he was quite strong in vanilla SF4, though Sagat was top tier and I don't think that matchup was very good for him. EX greenhand used to knock down, so that was pretty good.

He was pretty good in Alpha 2 and 3, I think. Not sure, just going by the Shoryuken wik.

in the daigo manga there's a chapter about how good alpha 3 gief was before everyone used v-ism

In Alpha 3, V-ism Gief danced around in top tier for a while, but these days he got bumped to high-mid. He's still good, but top tier in that game are too strong(Akuma and Sim, off the top of my head...I think Sodom was up there too).

Vanilla SF4 Gief was like Top 3-4.

Hyper Fighting Gief was really good. I dunno if he was top tier(probably not), but I remember he could do well vs most of the cast. Low invulnerability for Quick Lariat was amazing.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I wish the game gave me some hint or indication that Rashid's H Hurricane Shot modified his V-Skill, or that his V-Trigger modified pretty much anything that passes through the tornado, even the unique attacks. Usually my V-Trigger strategy involves me jumping to the enemy's other side so I can trap them, but doing a f MP or f HP also look like great ways to close the distance. I think the fHP move counts as an overhead, too. Now I need to string better combos together and maybe, just maybe, I'll start winning some matches.

Just ignore the parts about the stick and get a hitbox template from somewhere. Have fun and I hope you have power tools.

I've seen people mention they can option select the ender of chun's bnb by putting a forward in the middle of the the sbk or using a tk motion. So you get the sbk if you have enough charge and legs if you don't. Does anyone here do that? What do the inputs look like in training?

I'm really bad and can't get my super to come out consistently. I also can't do inputs fast enough to do most of the combos Dhalsim has, especially the one where you jump and almost instantly teleport so you're just high enough in the air for a jumping hp.

It also seems like c hk + b mk + m yoga flame doesn't combo like all the combo videos/lists say it does, people always manage to block it. Is this just because I'm not inputting fast enough?

Will a fight stick help me input more accurately and faster? I know the motions for moves, but they mostly whiff, I even whiff yoga fire/flame sometimes.

I have been doing that, I know how to do the inputs, it just feels like the controller is really imprecise when I'm trying to mash poo poo out. Basically what I'm asking is, does a stick make that more precise or is it all a matter of practice?

Because I just don't know how you can do a Z shape within moments after jumping.

What controller are you using. If it's the 360 Dpad I would recommend buying a different controller. If it's the PS4 Dpad then buying a stick isn't going to make an immediate difference and in fact you'll probably be worse on the stick than you currently are on the controller, until you adjust to it. 95% of the time, practice is the only thing that's going to make your inputs more consistent.

I take it you're doing Sim's instant air teleport? If so, you have to do it like this: f,d,df, uf + 3P. Basically you're doing a DP motion then pressing up-forward plus punches together to do it in the air instantly. Unless you're using the d-pad on a 360 controller, it's all about practice. You'll be equally as sloppy on a stick if you switch to one until you get enough practice with it. The learning curve on a stick is much much higher as well.

It works but I don't use it. Just practice enough and you can reliably use legs. Motion is the traditional TK 2369 but eh.

Nope, the 360 has a proprietary protocol when it comes to communicating between a peripheral and the 360 system. On the PC, the drivers for the 360 controller treats the inputs as Xinput.

Only reason stick is going to make you better player is when you realize how much money you just spend and can't justify it any other way than to practice your rear end off and get good.

There isn't a single brick and mortar store in the bay area that has any stick under $200, so i picked up the fightpad pro. Tried the dpad, garbage. Was about to call it a wash until i tried the stick, and holy crap is the stick good. Weird because i couldn't do crap on a regular ps4 controller stick. Not whiffing 360 inputs has made my zangief much better.

Related question, why can i grab people out of the air after a standing HK crush counter but can't seem to do it after a vtrigger pop, is the timing different on when i should do the 360 input?

You have to get a certain number of hits on the v-trigger spin to pop them high enough for the air SPD, I'm not sure how many, but I can recognize the height now after practicing and whiffing a few times.

Things it doesn't absolutely need to upload while you're playing local. Many other games that merge online and offline are happy enough putting those things in a queue for the next time they're online when the connection cuts off.
