Punk makes an excellent point here: all too many Zangief players just walk forward no matter what, life lead or anything else be damned. This has gotten so widespread that if Zangief does NOT walk forward, the opponent might actually not know what to do. Really interesting.
5 stages of zangrief Denial: There's no way imma get command grabbed Anger: I swear if I get command grabbed again... Bargaining: Maybe if i jump i wont get command grabbed Depression: I lost the life lead, there is no way I can come back Acceptance: K.O!
this is how my brother plays gief, he will out normal u... then occassionally rush in and spds when u get frustrated with getting punished from normals... really frustrating character to fight
After not having played fighting games for a few years, watching this video made me think I should give it a shot again. So I picked up the game, played some arcade to get used to the mechanics for a bit, and just finished a few ranked games yelling 'THATS ZANGREIF!!'. Haven't been this pumped in a while! Thanks for the awesome content Punk.
I just love Punk! Not only ridiculous quality SFV teaching but also great fun, the one you had when one of the good guys was in the arcade. Not aggressive, not bullying but honest laugh and can also lose with style. What a hero!
I played with him I stopped and i know the matchup enough. That's it's hard for a gief to beat me most of the time you can grab them so easy. Since they are waiting to put up armor to block your attacks to grab you lol.
I’m a gief main. What punk is saying is true. Vshift will help zangief to run away or get closer to bad matchups However, some matchups are really bad for gief like seriously bad such as Abigail and birdie
I'm honestly amazed with Punk's reaction time and reads. This guy is sure gifted. Also, kudos for making content fun and informative. Much love from Argentina!
@@BigBoss-kn1yx easy. He got footsied, Zang got life lead, so he tried to rush and footsie more a bit which is well... The video speaks for itself but what else can you do without a life lead against Zang gief?
Thank you for spreading the gospel! Last night I won a match by standing mid screen and letting a Ken jump into my checks 7 times in a row until they died. I never approached. Checked his runs and anti-aired his jump outs until he died. Poor dude didn't know what to do when he couldn't DP my whiffs.
For the most part that was a good choice lol but I won't lie season 5 is pretty fun and the bs has been slightly toned down... If only they could fix the online
Punkdagod : DONT GRAB WITH ZANGIEF YOUVE BEEN PLYING HIM WRONG THIS WHOLE TIME!!!! Punkdagod not even 10 seconds in the video : shows a clip of him grabbing
That feeling when you see an Alex player forget that standing mk is basically a midscreen instant fireball and he loses corner pressure by using specials in neutral
Shine said you don’t lab but isn’t this just another form of labbing? You’re still finding things out about all these characters through actual battle.
@@johnnyfacepalm1 her st mp is a bit stubby though she happily gets a hit confirm with medium or heavy peach. I'd still like to see what he can do with her.
Punk is gonna be the funniest 80 y/o man ever. Can you imagine? Him as an old grandpa. Legit.

Gief is a true legacy character and I think a lot of the newer players forget hes a very, very old character just as much as Chun-Li and Guile is
What's the point.
Cool vid but snakeeyes is the go to for gief info
Also just choosing to focus on buttons instead of throws is itself an effortless mix
Yeah one of the first things I noticed was he didn't just try to walk him into the corner right away

Yo Punk, how you not gonna like this comment tho? It's perfect cuz it's funny but it's true
"Jab Jab, I won! lmao~
I had to rewind!
7:19
Your editor is the goat, genuinely cried laughing at this
I swear you not lying his commentary so damn funny always lifts my mood
Honestly I am a new subscriber I don't know who this man is I thought he was my lord Chef Smug cooking with zangief
Your sense of humour is trash
@@l750z_6 Who hurt you? lmfao
@@x-Abraham-x2 no one?
I like how some of his opponents were trying extremely hard while punk just pressing 2 buttons
Exactly
Zangeif footsies and winning by timeout. I'm sure the people hes playing against are like what the hell, zangeif is just supposed to run up and grab.
Then that is the problem? You say
Psychology
@@BigBoss-kn1yx exactly
A great editor is a cheat code. That captain America with the cut out while punk was saying "i can do this all day" was genius
Punk got a bag and fixed his teeth, hope Alfa Academy knows that it ain't cheap
Didn’t even notice till u mentioned it
You sick bastard lol for real. I now notice that too 😂😂😂😂 if you din't say anything I wouldn't of seen that. You does watch his stream often lo.
first thing i noticed
I knew sum was different
I like nasty teef Punk. Look like he bout to drop the meanest mix tape.
this is how my brother plays gief, he will out normal u... then occassionally rush in and spds when u get frustrated with getting punished from normals... really frustrating character to fight
slow roast them XD
Wow you actually watch his videos that’s awesome
Punkdagod is hype and funny lmao
Whoever edits these knows just when to use zoom at the perfect time. Gets me ever time, like that 900 dashes from Juri.

Like how in the thumbnail it says “don’t grab” and then I’m watching the preview for the video and the first thing I see is him grabbing someone
I just love Punk!
Not only ridiculous quality SFV teaching but also great fun, the one you had when one of the good guys was in the arcade.

What a hero!
This raised my spirits to continue playing with zangief 😔

Thats ZanGrief !
@@bn137 it's hard for gief to beat anyone who isn't a bot. He's the lowest tier.
This entire series is definitely the build-up arc into the Eleven gameplay. Trust me I read the manga for this anime.
I’m a gief main. What punk is saying is true. Vshift will help zangief to run away or get closer to bad matchups

Punk is here making the geif nation proud..
Funniest video so far for me. The adlibes for the Grief pokes were to good had me dying lmao 🤣
"Zan GRIEF" is hilarious. Great vid, Punk. Excellent editing too.
This is like if Usain Bolt said "just run faster bro" 😆
nah, not really
I'm honestly amazed with Punk's reaction time and reads. This guy is sure gifted.
Also, kudos for making content fun and informative.
Much love from Argentina!
That feel when you're the ed player in the video 🤦🏾♂️ GGS punk I definitely felt grief that set 😭
Man that SPD did SO MUCH damage.
You were the es player?
@@BigBoss-kn1yx yup 😭
@@rayhodge1312 What happened? Can't handle the match? I think Ed win that MU
@@BigBoss-kn1yx easy. He got footsied, Zang got life lead, so he tried to rush and footsie more a bit which is well... The video speaks for itself but what else can you do without a life lead against Zang gief?
I want to see punk play Abigail after seeing this video
Zan bringing Grief to all these bots, also Juri is my girl and I like her new outfit.
I agree with the outfit part but juri is MY girl
She looks like poison
How you get her new fit?
This dude legit gets me pumped up to play sfv. Every. Single. Time. Long live Street Fighter.
ZanGrief! I’m stealing that name. Bruh! 🤣
I feel like VT2 is for widdling them down and then finishing them with something wild. That's why I like the way you play him
Zangeif and Zan Grief are two completely different characters. One plays badly, the other plays for the lols and wins consistently.
Punk's editor is godlike 😂
7:19 bro I’m dead 😂
Ah gottem ggs
Juri: *Has a Panda Global skin*
Punk: I don't like it.
Is it some kind of rare skin?
@@loto7197
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
@@CameronKujo not joking but I've since found out what it is
@@loto7197 i can't tell you because i don't play sfv, but that other guy is just rude
@@jestfullgremblim8002 I think he just wasn't sure whether I was trying to be funny or not, no harm done. Thanks nonetheless tho ☺️
As a Zangief main, I wasn't a fan of Punk but THIS VIDEO was hilarious! Good job man.
xD that coconut sound had me ded
man really just spit facts for 12 min straight god bless
Dude. I love your videos! You literally make a frown turn upside down. Keep up the good work!
I was playing Zangief too! Washing in ranked 🤭 Came running to see Punk play for TH-cam :)
This is funny as hell! Need more of this.
Thanks Punk for playing my favorite character. You bring the heat 🔥
Zangrief indeed. Entertaining video!
Thank you for spreading the gospel! Last night I won a match by standing mid screen and letting a Ken jump into my checks 7 times in a row until they died. I never approached. Checked his runs and anti-aired his jump outs until he died. Poor dude didn't know what to do when he couldn't DP my whiffs.
Zangrief back wit sum bran new teeth 😂😂😂 love you bro💯
Whoever edits these videos is a genius. Him and punk make a great team. Can’t stop laughing 😂
Laming them out with the F.A.N.G.ief. I like it. Punk uses the new SPD. Strong Punch Defense.
that Alex was panicking
Loving the new teeth, Punk! They look fantastic on ya! Thanks so much for the OP gameplay and epic content!
Look at that beautiful colgate smile
Before we get into the video you know I already hit that like button
I'd love to see Punk win NLBC with Gief. THEN we can talk about Gief players being the problem.
Lmfaoo facts and I a chun player but you right.
Is it just me or did the champ get some clean new chompers? Looks good!
Punk you literally just got me back into zangrief 😂🤣💯
Ok
Not turtling with Gief is more of a reflection of how V is played then anything else
5:47 is he ☠️ 🤣
Thank you for this Punk. You're all right in my book. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
haven't played since SF4! You make me wanna pick it up again🙂
For the most part that was a good choice lol but I won't lie season 5 is pretty fun and the bs has been slightly toned down... If only they could fix the online
@@user-wy1et9dk9w yeah bro I heard the connection cheeks🤣😔
That poster from RedBull Kumite is sick asf
Dude I'm in awe, thanks!
Still waiting on that Vega NLBC win.
bruh yes, punk vega is so fun to watch
@@djkhaledshaircut6825 Vey GAH
these edits are on point
Im really liking your videos! Your funny AND i taught me a little about SFV! Thanks! I would definitely enjoy watching your Zangrief more! :D
no one:
punk: IT'S ZAN GRIIEF
my man fixed his teeth???
My guy got some new teeth! Looking good Punk, that’s what I’m talking about. Coming from a family of dentist this makes me happy.
As a newer Gief player, I love this so much.
I remember ltg was trying to give punk hell for his teeth now let's see how long before his gets corrected
That service hand tho... Too good.
I wasnt ready for the Captain America edit at all lol
Punk you gots you a TH-cam!? Oh lordy! I was lost in the Smugpocalypse, but you have been found!
Gief my main!!!!! Great vid Bro!!!!!!
“This 20-0 matchup.” 🤣🤣
My nigga punk lookin beautiful with the new teeth. Footsie gunna be Xtra on point now
Punkdagod : DONT GRAB WITH ZANGIEF YOUVE BEEN PLYING HIM WRONG THIS WHOLE TIME!!!!
Punkdagod not even 10 seconds in the video : shows a clip of him grabbing
Oh u play him optimal you say.....
Sonic fox : challenge accepted
How u do spd in ps4 controller? I only do it in stick but I want to try it in ps4 ctrl
TH-camrs asking for people to sub before watching their content is like being asked to to tip before I try out a new restaurant's takeout.
If punk runs gief like that, imagine what pinkthegod will do.
That feeling when you see an Alex player forget that standing mk is basically a midscreen instant fireball and he loses corner pressure by using specials in neutral
Zangrief.
All the Giefs I been playing against are ZangThieves because they just rob me of rounds with SPD.
Good video boi and keep up the content.
My mans said u gotta treat em like rotisserie chicken
Shine said you don’t lab but isn’t this just another form of labbing? You’re still finding things out about all these characters through actual battle.
The best way to me learn and improve
Hows punk not like that new Juri outfit. She looks more like a fighter in this outfit than her other 12, I respect the drip.
i don't even play sfv but this is how i play gigas XD kinda interested now
We're slowly getting to that Alex video
Punk making Gief look godlike? Now I've seen everything.
when I fight zangief, I use menat. She will keep him back with the orb while you can get combos off of the orb explosion.
My mains are Akira and Menat
I know this one bboy here in Chicago that plays Gief, gonna try some shit on him with this haha
Teach them who's baws dawg, snoop dawg
That wif punish ex grab 😂😂😂
We have Ve-gaah, now we have Zan-grief
I'm definitely gonna play Gief tonight with this style in mind.
Punk: The character we hate to play because we can't SPD.
Me: Hehehe... yeah lmao
Also Me: .......... (Silently crying inside)
Bro the curly noise got me rollin
Yo this episode was fire 🔥
For the love of everything, Punk please play Gief in some tournaments.
That Zangeif though
My first vid after copping SF5. Hope I can learn more from these vids in the future
ok you showed us a grappler with good neutral. Now show us R Mika!
Yes, please
Mika has an insanely confirmable st.mp and is 3x faster than Gief, Punk would wash with her
@@johnnyfacepalm1 her st mp is a bit stubby though she happily gets a hit confirm with medium or heavy peach. I'd still like to see what he can do with her.
This was tremendous musicale powah
