Street Fighter 4 - Zangief HARD Trials Combos (Challenge Mode)

[TekkenElite]

Damn was it hard to nail the EX Flat after 4 d.Lks........

[reniisgod]

These ones were easy

[GluteusKingMaximus]

do you use a special controller for sf4

[bassmetropolis]

wtf the opponent doesnt even fight,,, bull Q@Q

[jsbelter]

@bassmetropolis its called the hard trials in challenge mode...obviously something you've never done

[boru25]

PLEASE TELL ME, who sings this song?!? Answer me soon!

[dropoutextreme]

@boru25 Bajofondo Tango Club "Perfume"

[654ha123]

Aquasilk.....please teach me your ways

[654ha123]

cant do that on a keyboard...i have this for PC i cant pull off his moves

[MonWolfen]

@654ha123 That's why you get a PC game controller for fighting and racing games! Then you'll be a true part of our holy race of gamers. You'll be better at precision for FPS games, and still have access to fighting and racing games with a joystick. JOIN US, AND RULE THE GALAXY!

[654ha123]

@MonWolfen i agree...you need a classic aracade for that

[Radicz0r]

@MonWolfen I'll never join you! Let me just grab Kazuya and break your shit like a twig in a car crusher

[F1or3k]

For Mother Russia.......

[elmerion]

21 people banished flat

[GastaoEsteves]

I'm struck on the 5th hard trial. Can't conect more then 2 of the crounch kicks. :/ Do I need to smash the key faster?

[passionkev01]

very nice music

[zergapollo]

@daghost9 I'm japanese (No accent, looks more white than anything) and I beat my white friend who played this game for a year straight...It was my first time playing. lolololololol

[LocustxKing]

how fast do you have to hit the a button to land those kicks because I am stuck and im beatin my a button to death and he keeps blocking the last kick

[meatflowers]

@LocustxKing

you're not supposed to mash the button, you're supposed to time it correctly with one press, or if you can plink that makes it a bit easier. look up plinking if you don't know what that is

[DJEvillincoln]

Who plays SF on a computer??? come on guys.. welcome to the 90's.

[whitetornadodk]

=( im playing on computer wich makes it almost impossible to do 360's which makes playing gief fucking hard

[Gailim]

@whitetornadodk

yeah you should pick up either a fightstick or an Xbox 360 controller. I play on PC and use a 360 controller. the wired ones work natively in Win7

[KingAuthora4eva]

in the last trial, how do i connect that last low lk to a ex green hand, help me pweaseeee T_T

[Theonenonlylink]

@daghost9

Jpns*

[Roodypoocandyass]

oh goood those last two.

[giograves]

I got a question Aqua, is there a certain rhythm for linking the lk after the jabs? I mean i use a rhythm for balrog [tap, tap (.) tap, tap] and i get his bnb in my sleep. But that window is much larger than giefs by far.

[hellomoto200192]

aquasilk how do you link the light kick and the ex banishing flat in trial 4?

[Ammaculate44]

Question... how much does Ps3 Online-games suck.

[SHlNOBl3]

@Ammaculate44

Question...are you having fun payin $20 for internet on your 360 when you already have internet?

[Ammaculate44]

@SHlNOBl3 It doesn't explain how much it sucks; try harder.

[SHlNOBl3]

@Ammaculate44

how in the world would payin extra not suck?

[Ammaculate44]

@SHlNOBl3 People paid for Sega, and it sucks ass, people paid for shitty games and it sucks. There's many games on Xbox Live and it sucks.

[SHlNOBl3]

@Ammaculate44

their getting something out of it though

[Ammaculate44]

@SHlNOBl3 What?

[SHlNOBl3]

@Ammaculate44

a game

[Ammaculate44]

@SHlNOBl3 Okay... they're getting a better connection for better gameplay; and sega's a piece of crap, and it not worth it compared to xbox live.

[lshsballer]

it's funny because i got all the challenges done in an hour with zangief as opposed to the like 4 hours it took me to do fei longs hard trials.

[Lrdvltr]

Aqua pussy

[Extreme2107]

Boring

[kerposo]

having some trouble trying to connect the light kicks...

[Musavi1]

who cares

[9dpena]

FUCK! I can't do the last one

[Drsalvador18]

and you have people who KNOW how to use zangief and im sure ur not one of them

[borabosal]

lol, being able to link 3 jabs and a lk is kinda difficult. and yeah lariat spammers suck, but you gotta respect the standing spd reversals that can come from most any blocked attack. Fools and smart ppl alike run from gief.

[Vegadagod]

SaviosWorld thats my xbox gametag who ever wants to get their ass kicked with Zangief hit me up!! lol

[cabdragon333]

I know what you mean. it's like people skip the first 5 seconds.

[gohan661]

Not all ppl see pop ups. I for one dont see them. I'd rather not see them than allow those stupid popup adverts. Get over yourselves.

[Dudekun]

What song is this?

[jbf407]

how about fuck you?

[SpinningSidekick]

Wait, you guys really *like* Dan? The guy in the pink?

Ya'll like him *that* much?

Did something happen between Street Fighter Alpha 3 and now?

[kingd1075]

@SpinningSidekick  you obviously don't know how to use him

[SpinningSidekick]

That would be correct.

My understanding was that when he was created he was created as a joke and hence was purposely made weaker.

Now, if they've made him a legitimate character in the time since, I wouldn't know.

[Scheater5]

Most definitely. He was made as a joke character - a little "take that" and inside joke at the King of Fighters game, which pretty obviously ripped off Street Fighter. He's still a joke character, but he's been WAY beefed for SFIV. He definitely capable of holding his own, though he's still the on the lowest tier in every poll I've seen.

[SpinningSidekick]

Thanks!

I wonder why that info escaped others. lol. And I can't believe people get that involved. It's not like I said that the people who use Dan suck (ie: the people who use Eddie or Christie in Tekken).

Thanks.

[PSTRIPPLEE]

@Scheater5 But no one uses him for somereason in a real tourny after all that is sakura sensai hahaha

[pr0newbie]

If you do read up on The King Of Fighters, you will realise that the Street Fighter ripped many things off the KOF series - tag team action (x-men vs sf4), super combos and a proper combo system.

[dryzen]

@pr0newbie

Well the super arts special was in 1994 as well they both rip each other off.

[TrollCapAmerica]

How about the idea that KOFs entire system is based on the SFer model?That Capcom actually has quality control and doesnt release a game a year with at least 3 stupid broken characters each time?That actual martial artists like Terry dont disappear because they dont breakdance and look a 14 year old club kid?That the VS system style tag team was COMPLETELY different FAR superior to the KOF model and was ripped off by KOF after they went bankrupt and got bought put by a pachinko company?Yeah

[mikailkhang]

your right at least i don't have to face those stupid overpowered broken characters every year, as far as sagat broken he's still ok and beatable far than kyo ryo leona and other cheap broken characters in kof series. kof players hate sf because they can't easy escape by AB and they can't easy punish with short jump n run (infamous characters don't run fast, stupid unbalanced game play T_T). Bout the tag system please refer to sf ex 3 and the x vs sf and we'll see who ripped off who

[Dairren1444]

@TrollCapAmerica you mad bro?

[TrollCapAmerica]

@Dairren1444

Im too busy winning to be mad bro

[Pilgrimage85]

Street Fighter vs X men

Marvel vs Capcom2 as well

[Vegadagod]

SaviosWorld iS my gametag on Xbox live play bme if you want your butt kick by  Zangief

[iBleepify]

@Vegadagod Hey I'd like to play you my gamertag is IBThaNightmare

[arielkof]

como se llamas el tema del video

[Hoblin]

I've done all of them except the last hard trial. I just can't seem to get it.

Help meh!

[JsBlaze5]

it reall easy i dont play gief but iwanted to do all the trails just hold forward while doing the l.k and do a cc forward and u'll get it

[JsBlaze5]

its real easy just hold down forward and do a cc forward and u'll get green hand

[jilla528]

on #4 im having trouble with the banishing flat when i put the command in it wont come and when i finally get it dan always blocks it:( plzz help

[DarthSkater6]

Combos with Zangief are pointless. Any one of those combos gives pretty much the same amount of damage as one fierce spinning piledriver

[DeStryke51]

easier to land these than SPD's you know.

[DarthSkater6]

not if you an an expert in timing and distance and know how to fool your opponent into allowing it.

[DeStryke51]

you can do anything if "you're an expert" at it. Im saying in general you'll have an easier starting these combos than you would an SPD, because these combos you approach with, SPDs are like punishing their mistakes.

[DarthSkater6]

agree

[ocping]

REALLY?

...

no

you know what's dangerous about gief? it's him guessing correctly when he plays mixups once he gets a down on you

now how are you gonna get a down w/o a grab in the first place provided your opponent is not an idiot who plays close-range with you?

go figure

[DarthSkater6]

I'm not sure what you're getting at. All I was saying is that I play a style with geif where I rely on distance and timing and catch my opponent with many SPD's. They have to get close at some point. If they stay back and fire endless projectiles I have my way of moving in for the kill anyway.

[ocping]

Combos with Zangief are pointless. <--

lol

[sukkafoo]

Until you meet a Blanka, in which case all your SPDs and spacing tricks are nullified and you spend the whole game chasing him.

[DarthSkater6]

very good point, I've of course encountered that problem. I usually only beat 1 in every 3 Blankas in champ battles. I'm slowly finding new ways to approach him but mainly I have to be way more patient and rely on countering.

[sukkafoo]

Seriously, Gief is on the short end of the stick more often than not. Blanka chips and runs away. Akuma takes 1/3 life from every encounter. Sim doesn't exist to SPD.

If you're not comboing, you're not beating these characters.

[DarthSkater6]

It's so rare that I lose to Akuma - I'd have to be playing poker or something else on the side to distract me enough to lose. I don't even know what you mean with that Sim comment.

We could argue this all day or just exchange gamertags and I'll show you how I win more often than not with a Gief style that relies mainly on SPD's

[sukkafoo]

I don't play on XBL. PSN = EsomHatesTekken

As for Sim, any logical place a SPD might happen, Sim can reverse with teleport.

[Hakf]

@DarthSkater6 Most akumas online are scrubby - play one that knows things like when he has guaranteed ultras and supers and it is a different ball game.

[DarthSkater6]

Oh I've run into them and they'll land the odd ultra but even then it's just not enough. I play at the G1-D level right now so I see some G1-A and B Akumas and they still never beat me 2 rounds. For the most part they play a hit & run game but I catch them eventually and beat the shit out of them. The best part is when I predict when they're gonna teleport after getting up and I dash backward to greet them with yet another SPD.

[Blitzbok]

Yep, I'm an Akuma player and I must confess that once Gief gets hold of him, it's really tough. A smart Gief player is a real handful against anyone.

[DarthSkater6]

I ran into one Akuma player on the weekend who absolutely smoked me. He was able to land 2 ultras and 1 super in 2 rounds. Usually Akuma players stick to 1 of 4 methods for using ultras (waiting til I jump & land / following a fireball / after a focus attack / right when I get up) but this guy kept mixing it up.

[Vins58201]

@DarthSkater6 I find balrog to be very useful againts Blanka.. Its still a tough battle most of the time though.

[DNchap1417]

Russian wrestling is ALWAYS number one!

[dmxezz]

@DNchap1417 russian wrestling doesn't even exist. it's regular wrestling like all over the world.

TURKISH wrestling is a own style of wrestling

[Bottery]

@dmxezz

Russian wrestling is a style learned by fighting bears in a mountain wearing nothing but a red speedo.

[christhepissnukka]

this was cake

[wadeelee]

i am a new player of SF4, how to do the EX focus cancel ? thanks

[macdaddy69992001]

the way you do the ex focus cancel is after you do the move before you have to execute the Ex focus cancel, do the move then as soon as u execute the move immediately press your focus attack buttons and it cancels out that move do it really fast. also after u executed your Ex cancel you want to dash forward.

[kce99]

its not har do you have a xbox 360 or a ps3

[kce99]

its not hard.

[xRocketzFighterx]

press medium punch n medium kick just when you land the first hit on all attacks and most special moves to.

[Minazki]

I just finished these trials from 1-4 but 5 is giving some problems for me. That ex banishing flat is hard to connest. Trial 4 I did with first try but 5 is strange.

[fiyee321]

how i managed to do it was after the final crouching punch, i went Forward Down Forward THEN light kick then 2xpunch. so i did the D-pad input then the kick and then finished then input with 2x punch(Ex).

after i thought of trying this method i got it in a few tries.

[fiyee321]

trial #4 that is

[thejoediaries]

Thank you kind sir, after spending too long trying I gave your technique ago and it worked after a mere 15 attempts. Kudos.

[TheSoullessVampire]

i couldnt finish anybodies trail especially  Zangief

[Siberianhusky89]

Don't button mash. You have to be be accurate with it and press the buttons in the right order, that's all it is, take your time to do it.

[13ketong13]

how do you do the cancelling motion when you attack in between combos..? is it like when pressing a button then you press forward forward or what..?

[Cajunx2001]

I think you're talking about the, focus attack dash cancel ("fadc"). To execute it, you'll first need to have your ultra meter preferably full (it's the flashing horizontal blue bar). Then, execute a special attack, and as soon as you do, hold the button down you have set as, focus. By doing that, you'll do the special attack, but cancel in the middle of it. Quickly, dash forwards two times, or backwards. After dashing you'll have the opportunity to do another attack on your opponent.

[Cajunx2001]

Here is a tip for any Gief player stuck with the 5th "Hard Trial", where you have to connect 4 low light kicks after the knee drop and follow it with the ex banishing flat: the trick to timely executing it is to use different moves to execute this combo. Meaning to say, typically many players just jam the light kick button - that's wrong. First, to do the knee drop, press down and then the button you have set for "quick double lariat". Then follow it with light kicks. It'll connect now.

[kakuism]

During TRIAL 4: Hold foward on the Light Kick, then finish the motion of Banishing Fist.

[SinnaiG123]

that trial is so freakin lame why go through all that trouble when it arely cuases any decent demege even for a combo. Simple old throws are much more life threatening, thats all there is to Zangief

[gigagilgamesh9]

i sent this guy a question on the psn but he never replied. :(

[republicansridiots]

lol, however u see it in almost every game gief plays in in japan. every game u see a th5 combo executed.

[mikolyyyy]

i did all trials too for all characters.

[bentot09]

you should be halfway doing the ex greenhand when you press the last light kick.

[coolguy681]

Yea theres no way i can cancel that light kick into the ex greenhand.

[judgmentlooking]

ill add u

[dojitsu]

Everyone still having trouble with these combos, just stop these trials and go play online. Try again in a few weeks, you'll see that if you just get used to the game these trials will become allot easier.

[Drizzydid]

howcome some trials make u do super specials and other character trials dont? seems a bit unbalanced

[FireCoTTon]

Its not.. Zangief can't connect his ultra and super into a combo, because if you hit someone with a jab or something and you do a ultra after that, it dont connects.

And most of the time you cant connect ultras with the combos in the hard trials - like Akuma, Zangief etc.

[Drizzydid]

thanks for the info

[The3lse]

Some characters (like Akuma) can't combo into their supers or ultras.

[capedclown]

It's fuckin impossible to ex cancel after lariats!!! you gotta have like japanese reflexes n shit. I barely got past the 1st hard trial. wtf

[capedclown]

ok, now i can't get past the last one.. THIS shit is impossib;e

[mxtra22]

I cant seem to combo the ex hand after the last light kick. Its hard enuff linking the Knee Drop to light kick. Gotta land it like right in Dan's waist or something

[Cajunx2001]

lol so true

[FireCoTTon]

I did it without problems with a controller, so you fail lol

[zxain]

Haha, that Narutard is so angry.

[naruto2710]

yh i'm angry. i'm angry that your mum hasn't called me yet. whats the hold up, she forget to pay her light bill?

[zxain]

Protip: Light bill =/= Phone Bill

You must watch Naruto if you're this stupid.

[naruto2710]

light bill sounds much funnier, thats why i said it but you just have to be a smart ass.

[MisterKirkby]

I can't do hard trial #1 for the life of me...I seem to be doing it just like you but my flat misses...I'm doing it fast...any strategy?

[GhostBustersManager]

His trials are fun to do

[locustskater]

aqua are you good ate online if you are can you teach me how to get good at the combos

[Kailette22]

where can i play trials...don t found this mode in pc version so far

[AFlockOfRUSH]

Never thought the first two were soo easy

[flipblood]

suck's

[cptBraver]

so wats the song

[Setsaku]

HE IS BULLET

[lolsecuROM]

IM UNSTOPPABLE CANT TOUCH THIS

[yoops]

they made the timing so frikkin ridiculous in this game compared to 3rd strike.

[AJDaEnvoy]

yeah maybe for u, i just did Zangief's trial that brings me to 10 people so far. I have done ALL of Bison's, Balrog's, Ryu's, Akuma's, Gouken's, Dhalsim's, Guile's,Blanka's,EnHonda(was a bit tricky coz of 4 and 5) and now Zangief TRIALS.

[yoops]

what stick are you using?

[AJDaEnvoy]

Will half the trials i used the pad the other half i used the TE fightstick.

[naruto2710]

i'm also doing the trails and i've completed all normal trails and seth, akuma, rose, dan, e. honda and i've done at least all the first 2 hard trails 4 all characters. i've done abel, ryu, gen up 2 der 4th trail. i did all of them with a controller. now every vid i see, i see ur comment boasting bout how u've completed trails. i hav 2 but u dont see me boasting. remember u hav an arcade stick so quit boasting

[dgarcia626]

what does an arcade stick have to do with anything? i did most of my trials on a 360 dpad and might i add that this is one of the best dpads for a fighting game. arcade sticks dont improve ur skill u retarded fuck. if ur good with a controller ur good if ur good with a stick ur good. stop bitching about oh the arcade stick give u magical powers no it doesnt pussy bottom line the trials are as difficult as they are on a stick or controller

[naruto2710]

you are one dumbass fuck. you are ridiculously stupid you know that. 1st i posted that message 3weeks ago and i've completed all trails except 5 ppl. and using the arcade stick is better and easier dumb shit. first if you've played SF you'll know that using the wrist and 4 of your fingers is much faster than using both your thumbs. all the pros in tournaments what do they use??? arcade sticks dumbass. when SF was made it was made for arcade machines.

[brucenatelee]

Um... if you're good with sticks, then you're good. I hate them. I'm only good with the 360 thumb stick, but the PS3 d-pad works wonders for me. You make it sound as though everybody has the same skills with the same control types. It's true that the advantage with the sticks is that you don't tilt them all the way (short movements=faster reactions), but I suck with aiming them correctly. Also, different games don't react the same. I can do a shoryuken easily in HD Remix, but sucks on MvC2.

[dgarcia626]

that really is some weak ass argument kid its weird that im just as good on a stick as i am on a controller than, some people prefer controllers and some prefer sticks my guess is that most people who are into tournaments use sticks because they like to play in the arcades and think its more fun. please it fucks up ur fingers? u got some pussy hands kid i got every move that i can do on a stick down on a controller everythng from guile and vega super n ultras to zangiefs gay ass rotation grabs

[naruto2710]

i don't think you read my comment properly and so i'm not gonna bother to reply to you. kid.

[Slayer7A]

y u reply to every1s comments, do you have alot of time on your hands or somthing?

[davidthenguyen]

I'm gonna agree here, sticks do not make a player. Controllers do not fuck up your fingers from playing a single game. Though I debate upon the 360's dpad compared to the PS3 or the Madcatz one I have, it all boils down to skill not what you use. Plus any faggot with the name "naruto" can't be that believable.

[Jorfapigo]

yeah, it's freaking impossible to make a descent combo... and now you have the even more difficult trials...

[rhymeswithgabriel]

hey, add me. you have good taste in music and i'd like to fight another zangief

psn: cyanopixel

[TrackBoys000]

i have ps3 i dont undestand the fucking combo pls help me

[ethiotoronto]

its wierd that there is no linking to his ultra. i guess that combo would be to devestating. it seems pretty easy to get his icon i might try this one and roses. i only have bison right now and bison was pretty easy (saying that now but when i was trying to get it i begged god to help me with it lol)

[coolpimp123]

i have the answer to zangiefs 4th trial u have to hit him with the light kick, slightly when u r far away from dan, so that ur kick barely touches him, then the ex should come out fine

[santanaoutlaw]

lol I still can't get it

[9899073030]

aight..

[VividFps]

4th one give me the most trouble with with the ex not working after the light kick

[TehPwnage1337h4x0rz]

I'm stuck on that one, same problem =/

[cartmanshome]

the way that i do it is. when u press forward with LK, then do the green hand.

so u should be inputting:

Jump, down+HP, crouch LP, c. LP, c. LP, forward + LK, down, down-forward 2P

[VividFps]

I'll give it a try, thanks for helping.

If you live in USA east or close to it

add me if you have ps3 PSN: BigiD

[pfat0]

Really? Because nobody else does it that way.

You have to do the shoryuken motion, then hit LK, then 2P.

Do the motion before you hit LK and you'll get it.

[cartmanshome]

well it works anyway, thats the main thing. good to have options : D

maybe its cuz that the way i buffer directions in tekken as well.

[9899073030]

man i really need help in the trials..

so if any1 kind enough to help pls do..

shubham30-psn id

[PoXiMaT]

I'll add you and will answer any questions you have.

Baqsam99

[entocheets]

Easiest player to pass Hard trials on. lol

[ViperZee]

Well in trial 4, right after the low kick input for the EX banishing flat. It should do the move right after the low kick. The timing on that one is ridiculous and took me quite a few tries but it is possible.

[neaiancu]

i did the first 4 in 10 minutes ... but then i got stuck on the 5th ... there's no problem in linking the 4 lks, but the ex hand always comes too late

[xmileena]

buffer into it, do the motion for the ex hand while throwing the 4th lk

[neaiancu]

thank, but i did it 5 minutes after i posted :D ... all in all he had the easiest trials

[abuseplz]

woo finished these yesterday :) quite hard though

[shinmasaki]

Ok, here's a question...how long did you spend getting the timing down on these moves? Some of these are stupid for their timing.

[zionster]

hi guys, i've been having trouble chaining the LK with the EX banishing flat, is there a trick to the combo?

[RyutoHigashi]

Me too man, I am sure there's countless other people with the same problem, and explanations are nowhere to be found. D=

[zionster]

haha, cheers to a fellow gief user. if i find anything I'll post it back here so u can get a look too Ryuto!

[RyutoHigashi]

I am just too close to quit, I am sure it's something to do with buffering the move, as in do the LK and Banishing flat at the same time. I have been attempting to hit both buttons (LK + LP-MP) at nearly the same time. I actually managed to link the moves 2 or 3 times since doing that.
