Zangief Short Jump

Zangief can make his jump distance slightly shorter if he presses up and then up-toward instead of just up-toward. Only Zangief can do this.

Hi david, is this the type of jump u use on ur cross ups, to prevent characters like sagat and ryu to uppercut u when u attempt to knee drop and double suplex?

[UltraDavid]

sometimes, but not usually. in general i just do a regular jump because that works just fine, and it can be a crossup or not depending on where you jump from. but there are some setups where you mix up between regular and short jump because for those setups, the difference between regular and short results in a crossup or not a crossup. the opponent can't tell which is which, so he just has to guess which way to block.

Honda can do this when using his jumping fierce punch.

[UltraDavid]

no, that's different. honda's neutral jump fierce is programmed to be fully controllable once you press fierce in the air. in other words, it's the same jump modified by using the fierce button's built-in attributes.

by contrast this gief thing is literally a different jump from the get-go. you don't modify the jump once you get into the air, you're just using a separate, shorter kind of jump.

Question, is this still viable in SUPER???

Gief's jump is higher, and he goes less distance horizontally. Getting AA'ed like crazy in SUPER...

.. I know this response comes late and you may have probably figured this out, but this is the ONE MOVE you MUST use to defeat a good Dhalsim player.
