Ifrit 09/01/25 12:00:00 PM #401: | #10th: Zangief https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/858bbb35.jpg Highest Rank: 2nd Lowest Rank: 123rd Average Rank: 26th Highest Percentile: 99.16% Lowest Percentile: 2.40% Average Percentile: 73.82% Number of lists: 22 Percent of lists in Top 5: 18% Percent of lists in Top 10: 36% Percent of lists in Top 20: 54.5% Zangief is hugely popular. He's also a huge guy. He made half of all Top 20 lists, but he also had a very low ranking, and some mid-rankings. Definitely one of the most recognizable Street Fighter characters. I'm sure it helps that he's one of the Original Eight. Shadaloo Bio: "Zangief is a gigantic Russian wrestler known as the Red Cyclone. He may look totally fearsome, he's actually a very friendly guy to many people. He believes that muscles are supreme, and has spent years refining his body and muscles." Zangief is the original grappler character in fighting games, his innovative offense and 360 degree inputs would have a tremendous influence on the entire fighting game genre. He's never really an important part of the series' plots, often either irrelevant or just comic relief, but he somehow manages to be one of the most beloved parts of the series even without any plot relevance. And why shouldn't he be? Zangief is great. Strangely enough, my favorite appearance of Zangief was in the Neo Geo Pocket Color's SNK vs. Capcom. That little handheld had a thumb stick that was designed for fighting games & it made even complicated motions like 360s a breeze to pull off. It made Zangief so much fun to play in that game, easily some of the most fun I've had in any fighting game. If only I had such a useful thumb stick on modern controllers.... Would I be interested in seeing him in a new game? Yes, actually. I know I usually complain about characters that appear in too many games, but Zangief is one of the exceptions. He's just a really fun character and I have so much nostalgia for playing as him on the NGPC that I'm always happy to see him. It's kinda silly to want a character with no plot relevance to come back, but eh, the series could probably use a few characters who are just there for a fight. - FluttershyPony Zangief has NEVER been a bad guy. Fuck WIR!!! And the movie! - kateee Admittedly I main him, so Im biased. Catching someone with a spinning piledriver never gets old! - GavsEvans123 --- The user formerly known as Ashethan ...
