Zangief

Neutral B: Spinning Piledriver
Zangief grabs his opponent and holds them upside down by the waist, then leaps into the air in a sitting position with the opponent's head between his legs. Spinning rapidly, Zangief slams the opponent headfirst into the ground for massive damage (45%). The EX version

Side B: Banishing Flat
Zangief performs a two-step spinning slap with his hand engulfed in a colored (usually green) energy (15%). The EX version knocks down the foe, and is good for ending combos (20%). However, the move is generally unsafe if blocked.

Up B: Double Lariat
Zangief stretches his arms out horizontally and clenches his fists, and then simply spins in an effort to hit the opponent (13%). The attack greatly reduces the size of Zangief's hit box while in motion, and allows fireballs, even some super-powered versions, to pass him by with ease & can also doing in Mid-Air. The EX version goes faster.

Down B: Flying Power Bomb
Zangief stretches his arms out like a bear, then rushes a short distance towards his opponent (informally known as a Running Bear Grab). If the pursuit is not evaded, Zangief performs a Flying Power Bomb: he grabs the opponent by the shoulders and jumps, then slams him/her head-first into the ground (35%).

Down B (Closer): Atomic Suplex
Zangief performs the Atomic Suplex, which is also known by the name Siberian Bear Crusher: stepping behind his opponent, he grabs them around the waist and lifts them up, falling backwards while he does in order to drive them head-first into the ground; still holding onto his opponent's waist, he then flips and jumps, performing the same maneuver again from mid-air (28%).

Final Smash 1: Final Atomic Buster
Zangief attempts to grab the opponent; if successful, he performs two Atomic Suplexes (25%), finishing with a Spinning Piledriver (55%) or two (depending on the level). It is a very deadly Super Combo, but stumbles often due to its awkward activation and low range. Even so, it is essential for Zangief players to master and use effectively, especially since it is ideal to finish foes off with for a "__ hit Super Combo finish" bonus.

Final Smash 2: Siberian Blizzard
Zangief performs an ascending, multi-hitting Double Lariat (45%). ("I am the protector of Russia's skies!") - in an attempt to grab an airborne opponent. If successful, Zangief grabs them and puts them in a headlock, spinning them higher up in the air ("Siberian..."). He then puts them into a reverse-crucifix clutch and drives them head-first into the ground (100%)("...Blizzard!"). After that, he jumps to the side ("Intercepted!").

Character Description
Born and raised in the Soviet Union, Zangief is an incredibly patriotic character who has been motivated in some way to fight for his Motherland in every single game he has ever been in. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior depicted that Zangief was from the U.S.S.R. when the game was released in 1991. The Soviet Union ceased to exist by the end of 1991, but due to the heavy use of Soviet iconography in and around Zangief's character, including his homestage (where an iron plant complete with a giant hammer and sickle logo imprinted on the floor), Zangief was depicted as being from the U.S.S.R. as late as 1998, when Street Fighter Alpha 3 was released (though justifiably, the Alpha series takes place between the first and second games, meaning the U.S.S.R. still existed as of then). Street Fighter IV was the first time Zangief was depicted as being from the Russian Federation in 2008. Zangief's personality has varied from one media source to another, but he's mostly been portrayed as a very fearless and tactiful fighter who's prone to quick temperments, and is always very competitive. Zangief is a man who is immensely proud of his physique, and constantly belittles his opponent's smaller muscular build and blaming their losses on their smaller physique. Despite his short temper, Zangief has shown himself to be rather gentle-natured with a good sense of humor at times, once entering a tournament partly to win the admiration of a group of school children. According to the instruction manual of Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition for the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive, Zangief is described as being "good natured, with a great sense of humor, and totally fearless."

Zangief can be easily misled by his overwhelming sense of patriotism for his home country. In Street Fighter Alpha 2, it was revealed that Gorbachev's intentions for Zangief is only for political gain, although Zangief fails to realize this and continues to fight for the glory and honor of Russia, no matter what the reason may be.

While not fighting, Zangief enjoys cossack dancing, vodka, and borscht. Some of the things which he doesn't like includes young women (because he views them as a distraction), bears that don't know how to wrestle properly, and (according to the manual for Super Street Fighter II Turbo for the 3DO) Tiger Shots, Hadoukens, and Yoga Fires.
