Another great performance by a Gief master, who manages to reach the quarter finals of the 2009 Star Cup. Gunze uses the lariat frequently to trick the opponent into thinking they can safely throw projectiles or sweep Zangief, but since Gunze executes this move from a safe range, opponents are often caught out. After the lariat start-up, Zangief can be swept very easily if the opponent is in range but moving Zangief backwards and forwards while in the lariat makes the opponent either walk into the lariat thats still executing (because Gunze moved forward) or missing their sweep (because Gunze moved backwards). Some opponents opt to stand their ground and throw another projectile and completely underestimate the range of the lariat's hit-box (if Gief moves forward continuously) and still get knocked over. Gunze and Pony have very different styles and have both had their successes in the highest level of st comps. Its great to see two different styles being used Just as effectively as each other, this goes to show you dont always have to copy the best to have the same success rate.

Ito (DeeJay x 3) vs Gunze (Zangief x3)

  • wtf? he doesn't say MAX OUT!?

  • The arcade board they're using is the Japanese (NTSC) version and some speech is different from the Europe (PAL)/USA (NTSC) board. Slash = max-out and I think Cammy has different speech as well.

  • LOL! holy god that was a long stomach crunch at 3:52

  • @2:16 wtf that range o.O

  • gunze is such a beast in the corner and spacing

  • well... i'll be damned.

    like my credit card, cuz its... MAXED OUT.

  • nice matches!

  • Why doesn't Gunze use a different gief form?

    he seems to barely get off the super, and wouldn't the other Giefs have better normals/specials?

  • Ito, you've just been Gief'd!

    5/5
