Your mind tricks won't harm me!!!

Just for the curious ones out there -
Zangief’s V-Skill

...After activating this mode, Zangief will be able to absorb one attack, leaving him with recoverable health much like Street Fighter IV’s focus attacks. By holding down the buttons and moving forward, players can make him slowly inch towards the opponent, and he will close out the the walk with a flex that damages them if he’s close enough.

Zangief’s V-Trigger

.....Cyclone Lariat, sees him spin violently, pulling in the opposing player for additional punishment. Holding the activation buttons causes the Red Cyclone to spin even longer and hit the opponent multiple times.

Normalize grab immunity.
2 things:

1.Ok seriously where the fuck is zoning in SFV

2. SUPLEX CITY
Guile or sagat for the last og character, put money on that.

Rashid might have some zoning or a keepaway, runaway playstyle available.

Vega has his normals.

Ryu and chun.

Nash might be pretty good from afar, he's got tools.

If necalli stays a charge character I'm hoping I can play him like deejay and use him with a sort of half rushdown mix.

I think zoning will be very viable. Just probably slightly tweaked than what we've seen for 6 years. But there will definitely be plasma dedicated chars like sagat and guile.

Hmmm, interesting... Seems like Alex and Urien were not such accurate rumours, at least not for the base roster.

I'm so inconsolably hype about my main man coming back that I just yelled LARRRRRIAT at the top of my lungs. My neighbors think I'm crazy

So there is one more mainline SF character, and two more original characters? One of those original characters better be a cute girl. This roster is trash right now.

Plus on block.
Gief has always been a consistent main for me, so i'm hyped.

I've already sworn allegiance to the almighty ass of Mika, but Gief will definitely be getting a lot of use from me like always.

I played rashid over at scr, he is not a Zoner at all. He is really weird and I'm not sure how I would describe him
