Looks like he got some new shit. His critical looks bad, like they just repeated the same shot twice.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Zangief in Street Fighter 5. trailer
- Thread starter Hanmik
- Start date
People are only taking into annount the latest reveal when complaining I guess.
I was talking with a friend if mine who has been a long time but casual SF fan and I was surprised he remembered who Karin was (Probably because I played her). He was disappointed Charlie was in instead of Guile though, Guile had always been his favorite.
I told him that Charlie plays way different and Guile will probably get added soon and he seemed pretty alright with that. Personally I like Nash more.

Is it me or does it look like they ported the model from SF4 with minor enhancement?
I'm really glad I didn't read those threads.
This is a good attitude to have. Admittedly I said I wasn't buying this if Karin wasn't in, but I was pretty Annoyed after she got passed over in every version of SF4 even after that poll she did so well in.

He wasn't in Alpha. Also they have made a lot of unorthodox choices with this game and Siliconera had a reliable looking leak until this announcement busted that open.
It's just you. The basic design hasn't changed, but this is clearly a new model.
...should've brought back the cape, though.

No, he couldn't. They aren't the same at all. Alex is would be more similar to Mika.
They did. His playstyle was all over the place in Alpha, and that's rectified here.
I totally understand people that are disappointed that their characters didn't make it in. But when you say "Should have been Alex/Urien/Yun/Ibuki" whoever over Gief, that wasn't ever going to happen. This choice is obviously about the character that encapsulates the archetype, same as Ryu, same as Dhalsim if he makes it in.
And honestly, I prefer it that way. The game is looking very offense oriented, it's nice to have characters that put up a wall on that playstyle, and I'd prefer they put in THE ARCHETYPES and do new things with new characters rather than shove old archetypes on old characters and just have people say, "Should have been Gief" (see every SC5 thread).
It's delicious, why you hating?
Maybe he's a recovering alcoholic, why are you being so insensitive?

A bit of a hype killer even though I like Zangief. Still want Alex and Urien please.

He was in Alpha 2.
Which was a sequel to Alpha, not the same game.
did you even watch the trailer?

Huh.
People don't like Gief?
Well, at least Snake Eyes will be happy.
He's not for me, but he looks good. Lots of armor, less mobile than Mika. I don't have a problem with him returning, but I guess I can understand that his trailer doesn't have the wow factor of the others.

Looks like Urine is next! They saving him for last cause it would kinda confirm the SFV story line.

I assume he's talking about appearance. If he is then I agree with him. Zangief alone is disappointing but not even changing him a little is just odd. Especially with the other redesigns in this game.
That'll piss a lot of people off

I really want Urien to be in. 5+ years of auto correct misspellings will be great.
Any Excuse to wear this again -
need a Push Mika shirt ASAP
he's just in mexico... he takes pictures all the time. Necalli is already an Aztec character, Urien has a stage in Egypt, etc, etc.
Lol keep believing tho
lol Urine

I think the apparent similarity is due to his lack of clothing (and the physics-based animation thereof) which is where a lot of the game's visual flare comes from.
I'm sure if you put the models side by side and zoomed in close the boost in fidelity would be obvious. This game has stretchy, flexy muscles, for example, whereas sf4 had some issues with the joints of people's bodies looking unnatural and action-figure like.

Phone Auto-corrects owns me. lol
Urien stage in 2nd Impact is in Egypt but not in Third Strike.
Yeah, it's obvious auto correct, but it's still amusing.

yeah ok lol
I'd love to see them make SF5 without newcomers, that would probably go over well.
Because alcohol is what you need after Zangief has been announced.
None of the really iconic characters got changed that much outside of Ken (and really his hair has changed in every game and wearing the gi around the waist is it). Ryu looks like Ryu. Chun looks like Chun. Cammy looks like Cammy...I think most of the changes will be gameplay wise
The SF2 characters don't get changed much because they don't need to be changed much.
You know what you get when you change Ryu? You get every other shoto character ever.
You know what you get when you change Gief? Haggar. Hugo. Every other big grappler.
They don't need overhauls because they are the archetype. What they need is new shit to fit within whatever system is in the present game, and everybody has that.

It's interesting. Because I assume Disney would have made contact with Capcom to license the use of Zangief so you'd think they'd have used the correct pronunciation.
Yet in Wreck It Ralph he says "Hi, I'm Zangief (Zangeef)". That's how I've pronounce it since 92. Geef for lyf

Maybe RussiaGAF can chime in? Because I usually say both, but I always thought it was properly pronounced "zan-gyef"

not even close
It is definitely just you.
He is substantially different.
why would he? Not much time has passed since SFIV IIRC. Birdie, Karen all aged because they legit haven't appeared timeline wise since SF1/Alpha
It's inconsistent in Capcom's own games. In X-Men vs. SF the announcer pronounces it "Zan-ge-eff" and in MSH vs. SF the announcer says "Zan-geef". And its the same guy that voices the announcer in both games!
