Time to bring our favorite Red Cyclone on the battlefield! This time I wanted to make something different: No Mech-Zangief morph, but gave him two new hyper combos that's not exactly "new", but or almost unused in past games or exclusive to the Mech form: Siberian Blizzard and the Hyper Lariat.
"Consider yourself lucky! At least you can still walk!" - The "Red Cyclone": ZANGIEF
======================= WHY ZANGIEF? ===============================
Well, wanted to challenge myself a bit with grappling characters. And Zangief is, without doubt, one of my favorite characters in Street Fighter franchise!
Also, there's pretty few VS Styled Zangiefs in community. I wanted to give a chance to our favorite Russian Wrestler.
===================== STORY ====================================
Well... Play any Street Fighter game, or Read about Zangief in SF Wikia or in MvC Wikia.
====================== MOVESET ===============================
[X-Ability]:
"The All Mighty Red Cyclone from Russia"
BASIC SYSTEM:
======[SYSTEM MOVES]:
Super Jump: D, U [Only "U" after you hit a launcher]
Dash: FF (Zangief can't hop backwards)
OBS: He can throw the enemy in dash animation. LP doens't do anything. MP throw the enemy as a launcher and HP he uses a Suplex
Advancing Guard: 2 PUNCHES in Guard
Overwhelming Landing: HP/HK after a Weak-to-Strong chain
COUNTER-ATTACK(Finally I can put a decent and easy Counter-Attack on characters): F, LP+LK/MP+MK when in defense (Power Cost = 1000)
[EXTRA]
[C] = Charge for 2 seconds
f + MP -Elbow Drop
d + MP -Elbow Drop (air only)
d + MK -Knee Drop (air only)
u + MP -Head Butt (air only)
d + HP -Smash Drop (air only)
============= SPECIAL MOVES ===============

- Double Lariat(Quickier but comboable): Press all 3 Kicks[AIR OK]
- Banishing Flat: F,D,DF + Punch (Can destroy projectiles)
- Screw Piledriver: 360(A) + Punch [AIR OK]
- Running Bear(SA): B,DB,D,DF,F + Kick
- Atomic Suplex: Execute the Running Bear command nearly at the enemy
- Flying Powerbomb: Execute the Running Bear command far from the enemy and grab the enemy
- Aerial Russian Slam: F,D,DF + Kick
Caption: (SA) = Super Armor / (A) 360 command = Like a clock in any direction, but I personally suggests: Jump then: UP, FORWARD, DOWN, BACK, UP quickly for a 360 command success.
HYPER COMBOS:
Final Atomic Buster(SA): 360 + 2 Punches
Hyper Lariat(New)(SA): D,DF,F + 2 Punches
Siberian Blizzard: D,DB,B + 2 Punches

(Warning!) - The explosion can hurt also your own character.
* - LEVEL 3
** - LEVEL 3 OMEGA COMBO
!!!!! - WARNING!! USE THAT IF YOU ARE REALLY SURE OF VICTORY!! THAT MOVE CAN TAKE A HILARIOUSLY DAMAGE, BUT WILL MAKE YOU HAVE ONE FUCKING PIXEL OF HP! [And a whole world destroyed]
