Zangief in Street Fighter 5. trailer

I was hoping we'd get someone else but I guess we could have done worse. Real Soviet Damage confirmed for SF5.

RIP Siliconera. At least you guessed right about Karin.

Pretty tame trailer compared to the other recent ones, it seems. Maybe because it's fucking Zangief, but that one didn't grab me like the others.
 
Boo-lischoy tavieda. Gimme Hugo or Alex dammit.

Well, at least he seems to have an airborne throw move now.

Super's mad lame, it didn't even seem to be multiple slams, it just looked like the camera cut to different angles.

V-Skill: Iron Muscle

Zangief shows the true power of his body when he activates Iron Muscle. During Iron Muscle, Zangief can absorb one attack, which leaves him with recoverable health. If players hold down medium punch and medium kick and then press a direction on the joystick, Zangief will begin to slowly close in on the opponent. Upon release from the walk, Zangief flexes his muscles and hits the opponent if close enough.

V-Trigger: Cyclone Lariat

Zangief lives up to his name “the red cyclone” as he spins with high speed and velocity, pulling the opponent in close. If the player taps the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will quickly spin and pull in the opponent. If the player holds the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will continue to spin and hit the opponent multiple times.
 
He looks weirdly normal

Yeah, if you're passing up Sodom for him I would have hoped for a more interesting retooling. I can't say I'm a fan of how his moves look and his his v-skill/v-trigger stuff looks about bland as could be. Hopefully, combofiend's eventual breakdown will make him seem more exciting.
 
If only there was a game available where I could play as the original street fighter II cast members. I really need them to be in every single street fighter game.
 
He might have been a dlc and after the leaks they put him in the game taking one of the other characters as first month dlc. Im pretty sure that siliconera list will be true, Karim and Mika were to wild of a guess so Alex and Urien will be in
 
Zangief is from SF2, not Alpha. There are 3 characters from the Alpha series in SF5 so far.

I meant more that every returning character in this game has been in the Alpha series. I know Zangief was one of the original world warriors. He was my secondary back in the day.
 
I'm quite shocked at the amount of people that didn't expected him to appear... especially after his cameo on Wreck-it Ralph =P
