Holding HP as Zangief gives you armor. It can beat out headbutt and the butt slam more consistently than double lariet. Honda can hit you twice though with the butt slam if youre too close. Other than that, its free damage for our Russian boi
I watched this video from the opposite perspective. I'm a honda player struggling with this match-up. Could you or anyone make a video like this or give any help here for the honda . This match-up Def one of his worst .
You dictate the pace of the match more than Gief does since he has to be more reactive in the matchup than you do. As long as you’re good as mixing up your timings, Gief won’t really be able to get rolling. A lot of Hondas that I run into use his cr.HP to fake me out since it looks kinda similar to his headbutt startup. Once you get the knockdown, keep the pressure up since Gief doesn’t have great defensive options. That’s the kind of stuff that gives me trouble, so I hope it helps 👍🏽
Honda main here. Good video. Someone beat me hard last night with this tech. Felt quite helpless. Honda usually kills gief pretty bad but maybe not in 6. 😮
bro you dont parry headbutts....just do st.hp absorb the headbutt get a knockdown......for OD headbutt block for a free SPD.....for butt slam also do st.hp or lariat
I actually think this is a bad mu for Honda. I would recommend st hp to beat headbutt rather than parry. St hp also beats butt slam but Lariat is better
It can be rough. Zangief can invalidate Honda’s best tools, but Honda’s pressure after a knockdown can snowball hard, so I think it ends up being an even matchup. St. HP and lariat are can both deal with headbutt and butt slam, but I chose to focus on parry since it doesn’t cost health or drive gauge to use.
@@MexicanUppercuts yeah that's fair. I prefer to use st hp against headbutt because it's a guaranteed punish vs a maybe punish only if I happen to get perfect parry. I've had a lot of Honda players try to headbutt me while in burnout thinking it was guaranteed chip damage only to get punched right out of it lol. Very satisfying :)
This man out here doing the lords work for all the Zangeif mains out there. STAY ALMIGHTY BROTHERS 💪🏽

Great video. It's definitely some great advice for Giefs. I'd love to see more advanced match-up analysis videos, too.
Great series! Looking forward for you to cover all matchup for Gief!💪

I just checked my EVO Bracket and the first opponent is an E Honda. Studying this video start-to-finish for the matchup.
You could also do that run in grab and that'll make the Honda players scared of doing headbutts for the rest of the game

Alright I'm super here for this.
Be the reason a Honda main stops spamming headbutt today 🍻
Thanks a lot! Together we''ll all move the Gief up the tierlist! By the way I've discovered a new tech with his lariat, would you like to learn more?

Gief can force Honda to either play super honest or to rush him down. Playing neutral seems to favor Gief in SF6.
Im a honda main so I gonna try and learn somthin from this to!! ;) saw this in yipes discord keep up the grind!!
I’m glad you’re finding it helpful 😊 we’ll get to 40k LP eventually 😂

Yup, scrap that frame data crap. A more general and beginner friendly guide is much appreciated! 👌
