Gameplay
Zangief is a 6-button character who lives upto his nickname, The Red Cyclone. Getting close to him can result in being caught in one of his powerful grapples that will surely take down a lot of the opponent's health. However, he has no projectile moves of his own, so playing smart with attacks that cover a long range is key to defeating him, as well as using characters that are faster than Zangief, who is naturally slow.

Zangeese
This version of Zangief is a combonation of Zangief, Geese Howard, and Athena. Coming with two modes. Geese mode, as it implies, plays much like Geese Howard, with a few of Zangief's moves. Psycho Mode plays like Athena, incorporating her moves into the Zangief character. The fact that he has a Psycho Mode, however, is a reference to M. Bison's Psycho Power.
