>when you can take 33% from a coinflip and have extremely good buttons and rape the Drive Gauge.
Ken and Ryu take 50-60% from a coinflip and have extremely good buttons and rape the drive gauge as well, but their AA actually works, is fully invulnerable, recovers faster than lariat, and the damage difference is honestly even worse than I would have expected. I at least assumed lariat would do considerably more damage but it really doesn't, hell akuma gets just as much damage from an OD DP as Gief does from OD Lariat, but Akuma does MORE damage with hpDP than Gief does with meterless Lariat
Zangief Lariat: L --/ M --/ PP 1400 / OD 1700
Akuma DP: LP 1100 / MP 1300 / HP 1500 / OD 1700
Ryu DP: LP 1100 / MP 1200 / HP 1400 / OD 1600
Ken DP: LP 1100 / MP 1300 / HP 1400 / OD 1600
Gief's range isn't even that great anymore after the universal nerf to all of his hurtboxes effectively giving every character in the game a range buff against him, he's just big, slow, does meh damage compared to most characters, has no reversals, no fireballs, bad dashes, bad driverush, and if he whiffs his shit the punish is basically free even if the opponent was asleep at the wheel.
I just don't think I understand the vision that these devs have for Zangief in this game, he's got all the usual downsides of a big body character, but where are the upsides? What does he actually do that justifies how many downsides he's got on everything?
Like sure sHP has armor, but its also slow as shit and totally free to DI, basically all of his longer range buttons are free to DI, and even a lot of his lights and mediums just get totally fucked by DI. He's basically gotta get right up close to the opponent into the range where his shit kinda sucks and their shit is operating at full capacity, and if he ever loses a turn he gets stuck in pressure that he has no way to get out of, and even when its his turn he has no real way to maintain that pressure or space because they gutted his lariat
