Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Zangief Combo Exhibition)

[spadehatesscrewtube]

all this time, and no one has identified the killer music they used in the video? im disappointed.

[NOONY187]

I play with Iron Man, Sentinel, Zangief and its definetly one of the scariest teams out there. I've been told from many top players after I've bodied them with this team. Players such as Khaos, Josh 360, Baby Wolverine etc... point being is that Zangief throw assist is Godlike but it is VERY GETTOUTABLE!!! COME LOOK FOR ME ON XBOX 360 -WorldMATCHUE

[TZMurakumo]

LOLOL,

So anyway, original creator of the video here (years late, apparently). I made this in 2006 IIRC, and had been using things it it for a while by then.

To people bitching, the concept of this video is using Gief for a non-techable throw which you can guarantee. Throws reset the combo counter, which resets damage scaling (as Palmra posted). This is basically a concept video to show guaranteed resets and high damage combos for less reward.

[TZMurakumo]

Additionally, Zangief CANNOT be used on point in high level play. I don't care if you think your friends constitute high level--they don't. Gief will lose to runaway and zoning and/or rush EVERY TIME at high level. He only serves any purpose as an assist. Lariat for utility and airthrow to boost combo damage. My Gief fuckaround team was Mag/Sent-a/Gief, as both characters can get 100% combos for 1 bar.

My main team was Dhalsim/IM/Sent-a, and I was known as one of the better Dhalsim players.

[TZMurakumo]

@TZMurakumo

For less bar* rather

[bleakilla]

OH SHIT ZANGIEF RESETS!

[exactlythatsthepoint]

Gief's assists look so amazing in this video.

[myklindle]

This video is wack, the first combo is the only good one, and in most of the vids the geif anti air won't hit irl. Garbage vid

[Munchmessiah]

Why are most of these just other people's combos with a Zangief assist thrown in?

[tacuva]

so is this video showing zangief's combos? cuz i havent seen any combos. ur just showing him as a cheap assist. ur useless if u dont know how to use zangief by himself!!!!!

[Zakosai]

The name of the song is "Nightmare (Ugly Kid Jay Cut)" by DJ Sakin

[n00bcakey]

not much actual zangiefing though, just his air assist.

[shinichichiba]

should rename it the Zangief Assist Combo Exhibition. would've like to see Gief doing his own thing but it was nice to see how he has a decent assist.

[JayStarrBoy1]

The Ghost in the Darkness??

[ironicRON]

this makes me want to use zangief as an assist

[DarkNatasX]

Song is kinda... Weird? well the lyrics are.

[moogleroth]

Zangief on his own has some very devastating combos, and his assists are pretty good, he could easily be top tier if he was faster or had some projectiles/projectile counter. anyways my Xbox GT is moogleroth, if any of you want to have a match on there ill be glad to show you some zangief combos :D

[IsaacVanName]

Wow, I saw more of... ermm, EVERYONE ELSE, and very little of Zangief. Disappointing.

[SJtheMFZB]

But still, it had Zangief actually doing something useful for once in this game. Might as well take what you can get.

[bubicus2000]

I looked at this expecting something cool or more zangief focused but instead found the same top tier combos everyone else does. Heh you can combo with roll too if you user her assist with 3 HVB

[0AfterMath]

can someone post the song name please? jesus alot of people are asking for it.

[alecUtube]

wouldn't ground assist be more useful though?

I mean i've never used his other assists so I'm just asking. The unmovable mecha lariats is just too good.

[slafla]

The point of the airthrow assist is resets that are impossible to escape if timed correctly. There's a lot of potential there for abuse in high level play, but just like using Bone Claw Wolverine's low-hitting assist for setting up unblockables, it never caught on.

The same guy that made this vid made a really nice Dhalsim vid that's worth checking out too.

[9revolta]

@slafla

The reason things such as this dont catch on (as far common play) is the liabilities of those characters. Gief's throw assist seems has high priority, in which you cant tech out of a throw assist. But because hes too slow, he doesnt get much play, at least in higher level play. But the reset factor is awesome here, a little practice with him and he may get some more recog...

[9revolta]

@alecUtube

The ground type is mainly for lockdown and combos, while the anti-air resets automatically and allows for combos as well. By comparison, the anti-air is better, but the ground assist is a bit more useful. To be honest, use both depending on your opponent.

[robbieevans1]

How is this a zangief combo vid when you only use him as an assist? And this is the gayest song I ever heard. The darkness... the ghost... lol

[HungryForFlesh]

this is a great song. i like it

[gh0stgh0stgh0st]

sweet vid love low tier marvel

btw anyone know song name?

[dynamicgg]

that first combo is amazing

[SorrowNight]

infinites are for professional play

shit like this (zangief usage) is for COMBO VIDEOS

THAT AINT FALCO

[takeurlife2]

daaaaaaaamn you said it straight

ohhhh he got upsmashed

[7583476]

team balls ftw

[esaij]

This is awesome....but I can't do this in the xbox live version

[kaimisawesome]

oh zangief you beast you

[envinoveritus]

wow. no, i'm not being an obnoxious prick like the other guys, but have you tried these on real players?

[bloodriotiori]

pretty freakin cool :O having gief throw people into the other characters attacks that often mix but have devastating effects like cables stun grenade so that they always hit is brilliant :D

[plookm21]

sorry, but im unimpressed with seeing very weak combos with cable or magneto or storm and tossing in zangief in as just filler

[palmra]

Actually, this combo video impressed me, because by tossing in the zangief air throw assist, you're making 100% combos with one meter.

Since the Gief's Air Throw Assist resets the combo meter, everything after it does full, non scaled damage. That's why you're seeing storm with one meter doing 80-90% damage. That's ridiculous.

I'm wondering if you can avoid the air throw via a quick attack or a backdash, however.

[PracticeMan69]

ya but once your opponent snaps back your zangief you lose LOL

[Batou2006]

That's because you lack originality.

I've seen over millions of combo videos with the same shit......Cable Viper abuse, Magneto infinites, Iron man infinites......and finally someone has the balls to make a video of Zangief who has one of the better assists in the game.

So please...if your version of impression is the fucking infinites.....then go over there to those videos and post your opinion. I"m impressed because it's Zangief and not the same shit.

[Primer9]

can someone give me the name of this song

[supermanalexk]

What the heck was that at :25?

[mossimopooky]

Anakaris has an attack that will turn you into a voodoo doll for a few secs, you can't attack, but you can run and jump.

[theblantern]

Dosen't excuse the fact that Zangief is such a low tier character

[fuzzymoochicken]

Only one actual Zangief combo? Just a bit disappointing. =/

[15CB]

SNK kof & fatal fury Capcom Street fighter,Alpha are games that really require skill and timing unlike this cheap unlimited combo game.

[DutchSchultz87]

marvel vs capcom is a stupid over the top bullshit game... marvel vs snk II takes way more skill and less UBER ZOMG 10000000 hit combo!!!

[LOKIMAN07]

bullshit. i just bet you can't play it, and find it fustrating

[DutchSchultz87]

capcom vs snk 2 ftw

[LOKIMAN07]

sorry but marvel vs snk is just normal street fighter with irrelivent snk characters. if i wanted to play street fighter, i'd play street fighter not snk vs capcom. plus some of the characters don't even look like they should be in the same game. it's a rushed tittle to say the least. marvel vs capcom all day

[DutchSchultz87]

i disagree... if u got xbox 360 ill play you on street fighter II... you will be shamed

[fredsk1]

wtf is Marvel vs SNK anyways?

I've never even heard of it

[DutchSchultz87]

capcom vs snk

[LOKIMAN07]

^^my bad. yep i mean't capcom vs snk...

no i do not have an x-box 360 (used to though, but i prefere playstation3) anyway never overestimate your street fighter skills. you dunno how often i've made peoople eat words such as those. i am a master. the type to play as zangief and embarrass the predictable ken players

[all4uial]

hey what air grab did you use with cammy

that let you reset and follow up with KBA?

[TZMurakumo]

@all4uial

I'm sorry that this reply is 3 years late. I'm the video creator, and I think I originally made this video in 2006, and had been using stuff form this vid for a while.

The cammy throw is her hp airthrow. You cannot always combo after it, though. It's a combination of timing AND you need to be relatively lower than your opponent during the throw... well, that and falling. Throw at the correct point (falling, lower than their body) and you can link sj.lp,qcf+hk,xx,KBA.

[DJReiko]

The only thing I don't like about this, is that there is no 'player-2'.

Sure this is impressive stuff, but seeing it being pulled off in an actual fight is more impressive.

[spadesghost]

i want to know what song this is ..

[SmokzTrueno]

In name of Kazakhstan this is great success!

[TSSMiyamoto]

this is oh so pretty =)

[Gqgangsterz10]

nice combo's my bro would love this cause he always use's cheap ass zan, anyone know the name of the trance tune in the background?

[UnknownEnemy]

Love the storm/gief combos.... that lightning storm reset is just too nasty.

[ejemon]

Nice.........

[GoonBandit]

If you could pull these off when someone else is actually playing (or even against the machine) I'd be impressed.

[berserk2112]

ok first of all THIS ISNT A ZANIGEF COMBO VID ITS USING GEIF IN A COMBO THAT ALONE = FAIL

SECOND your using sent cable and mag that equals fail as well

[madswivel]

so wtf do you know.

NOTHING

[koreandude972]

I do like that first sentinal set up.

[striderzer0]

Wow sentgief ftw with 100% resets

[vidfreak727]

nice! eventhough I hate Zangief!

[WhatBadGod]

Aw...you just made me smile so hard my pants fell nil.
