Zangief, the powerful Russian wrestler, has been confirmed as a playable character in Street Fighter 5.
The series favourite returns with new V-Skill, Iron Muscle and new V-Trigger, Cyclone Lariat.
V-Skill: Iron Muscle
Zangief shows the true power of his body when he activates Iron Muscle. During Iron Muscle, Zangief can absorb one attack, which leaves him with recoverable health. If players hold down medium punch and medium kick and then press a direction on the joystick, Zangief will begin to slowly close in on the opponent. Upon release from the walk, Zangief flexes his muscles and hits the opponent if close enough.
V-Trigger: Cyclone Lariat
Zangief lives up to his name “the red cyclone” as he spins with high speed and velocity, pulling the opponent in close. If the player taps the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will quickly spin and pull in the opponent. If the player holds the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will continue to spin and hit the opponent multiple times.
Check out Zangief in action in the new trailer below.
Street Fighter 5 is scheduled to launch in spring 2016 for PS4 and PC. Pre-order Street Fighter V now on PS4 or PC.
