Gameplay [ ]
Fighting style [ ]
Zangief's signature fighting style is shut-range wrestling (specifically, a mix of Russian and American pro wrestling[half-dozen]) with devastating throws and powerful base moves. This makes him tough up close, though he oftentimes has trouble with foes with projectiles.
Moveset [ ]
Many of Zangief'south moves are more complicated to pull off, due to the 360 motions input required to perform the moves, making him a grapheme for advanced players. This, along with the fact that several of his moves incorporate spins, is probable the basis for his wrestling moniker "Crimson Whirlwind".
In addition, Zangief naturally lacks range, and many of his moves have a fairly long startup; this renders him fairly vulnerable to projectiles and makes him an ideal target for many faster characters.

As of recent appearances, he has several means to bypass projectile attacks, such every bit Double Lariat and Banishing Flat, the ability to walk unphased into a hit during his EX Flying Power Bomb, and the power to grab opponents out of most ground-based moves via Spinning Piledriver. In most incarnations, Zangief is extremely dangerous against floored opponents, as he is able to strength them to block regular attacks so that he can pivot them in identify to deliver a powerful throw or hold.
The Spinning Piledriver was the single nigh damaging special move in the original Street Fighter Ii series until the introduction of T. Hawk, and is capable of "sucking in" opponents from a surprising distance. Zangief's Flying Stomach set on was too the only standard motion capable of dizzying a character in one hit in the Street Fighter II series.

This is an even slower version of Zangief who can't block; even so, he takes reduced damage from everything, excluding beam-manner attacks. He also tin can't exist stopped, taking only a slight slowdown when hit by nigh annihilation, and picks upwardly a Yoga Blast-similar assail, the Siberian Breath. Marvel vs. Capcom: Disharmonism of Super Heroes brought Zangief dorsum and gave him the ability to transform into Mecha Zangief, making him more viable confronting speed characters; he retains this ability in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
In Super Jewel Fighter Mini Mix, Zangief retains most of his moves equally he gains a new special attack which he does cossack dancing to his opponent in two kicks. He has five disguises serve every bit his special attacks (Eg: a gorilla costume with a cherry mohawk, a long haired caveman wielding a club, a construction worker wielding diverse construction tools, a family man, a jungle man and a cherry belong with a gray ushanka hat within his main outfit). Ane of his Mighty Combos has him doing cossack dancing to his opponent in a multiple damage.
Super Philharmonic [ ]

In Street Fighter IV series, he has a powerful ultra combo called Ultimate Atomic Buster which is a powerful version of Concluding Atomic Buster which serves as his super combo. His second Ultra was Siberian Blizzard.
In Street Fighter V, he has a Critical Fine art chosen Bolshoi Russian Suplex, which he grabs his opponent and performs a High german Suplex. After slamming his opponent to the footing, he then exerts so much force and power that his opponents literally break through the floor and create a crater. Should the actor achieve a victory using this move, the opponent's legs volition remain sticking up comically through the crater.

Information technology is mutual for fighters (especially boxers) to have a picture of their rival placed in the frame of their mirror (on the pic it is written something like "idiot" in Japanese, mayhap considering they take dissimilar views on dazzler).
- Since grizzly bears are non indigenous to Siberia and Russia, it is speculated that Zangief perchance wrestles Ussuri Brown Bears, which are similar to grizzlies, but are indigenous to the Northward East of Russia, and twice as big, making this feat even more impressive.
- Other sources normally land he wrestles Kodiak Bears, but Kodiaks are native to the Kodiak Archipelago, (which is located to the due south of Alaska), again it's more possible that Zangief wrestles Kamchatka Brown Bears which are native to the Kamchatka Peninsula (which is located in the Russian Far Due east, near the Bering Sea), These bears are considered to be the ancestors of the Kodiak Bear and are almost as large as the Kodiak equally well. He also sometimes wrestles Polar Bears, which tin can exist institute in northern Russia to a higher place the Arctic Circle.
- In the UDON comics, Zangief's text is always written in yellow over red speech bubbles, much like the carmine flag of the USSR with its xanthous hammer-and-sickle emblem, to show off his devotion to his homeland. In addition, the writing is in bold italics well-nigh of the time, indicative of how loudly he usually speaks (an exception is his flabbergasted, tranquility "This is wrestling...?" after Rainbow Mika defeats him in the backup story of #xiii).
- In his win quote against Kuma in Street Fighter X Tekken, Zangief criticizes Kuma, telling him that "Bears in Siberia are much fiercer! You lot are similar kitten!".
- In Super Street Fighter Two Turbo Revival, in the 'Fight Akuma' Time Attack mode, if the player keeps pressing the light punch button while playing every bit Zangief in close proximity, it volition force Shin Akuma to immediately get into a crouch, and will proceed being forced to a crouch equally long the role player keeps pressing the light punch button while playing equally Zangief. This does not work for the other characters.
- Zangief's second alternate costume in Street Fighter V bears a slight resemblance to the existent life WWE superstars, The Undertaker in his appearance in Wrestlemania XX, and Blob Hogan when he competed in a wrestling band in the tardily 2000'due south.
- Though Zangief is covered in scars on the forepart of his body none announced on his back. This is because he never turns his dorsum on an enemy and prides himself on the ability to stop attacks caput-on.
- In the CPS1 installments of Street Fighter II, Zangief's scars were the aforementioned color equally his speedo. This was changed starting with Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers in that his scars now match the color of his pilus.
- Zangief is the second character to accept a throw that targets on crouching opponents, the start being R. Mika. The 3rd graphic symbol following Zangief to have a throw that targets crouching opponents is One thousand.
- Despite Zangief being the original grappler of the series and having the virtually number of regular throws in The Globe Warrior, Zangief didn't get any regular Air Throws until Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. He has had Aeriform Russian Slam that is more akin to an anti air throw such as Soul Throw, and while Borscht Dynamite acts very similarly to an air throw, it is a special attack.
- With so many regular throws, this is a very likely reason why future Street Fighter installments take limited to ii dissimilar regular throws for each character (for balancing reasons).
- There is a continuity error that occurs with Zangief's fight with his opponent in front of the Shadaloo base of operations in A Shadow Falls, Zangief defeats his opponent later on withstanding her sword with his "muscle power", yet in the next scene when Baboon blocks gunshots from his own opponent, Zangief is shown all the same fighting the opponent he managed to defeat before.
- Prior to Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter, Zangief speaks only Russian ingame and some English language catchphrases. He has a speech in Japanese in the aforementioned game's win screen (only in the Japanese and American versions-- these do not play in Asian versions). This changed in Street Fighter Iv onwards where he gains an English and a dedicated Japanese VA.
- Equally seen in Street Fighter Blastoff 3, Zangief keeps his liquor flask inside his shorts.
