Great poke due to its range and hitbox; TC follow-up is extremely lenient, but only works after counter-hit, Punish Counter, or Drive Rush; can perform TC follow-up on whiff; 6f blockstring gap when canceling to 5MP~MP

Notes
Active frames 4-8 cannot hit grounded opponents, but can anti-air cross-ups; useful anti-air with slow startup; Punish Counter gives a higher juggle state, can follow up if it hits an opponent near max height; trading with air attacks can allow OD Borscht Dynamite or SA1 follow-up

Notes
Button must be held for 20f; wall splats on hit; wall bounce on PC allows follow-up juggles; KD Advantage depends on height and distance from corner; projectile invulnerable on Zangief's body (not legs) while active until landing; landing recovery on whiff is 20f if fully charged, or 12f if only partially charged; whiff landing recovery is cancelable into attacks (but not movement) starting on 2nd frame; if active frames 2-6 connect right as Zangief lands, he does not bounce away and the landing recovery becomes cancelable into attacks (-1 oB if not canceled)

Notes
Forces stand; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; lenient cancel window (final cancelable frame will not combo to meterless Lariat); the arm anti-air invincibility is not very useful due to Zangief's large head hurtbox (will only work against long range jumps with extended hurtbox)

Counter is active 6-55f; only activates vs. kick attacks that connect with the hitbox between Zangief's arms (can work against normals, specials, and Drive moves); cannot counter low-hitting kicks; on successful counter, the attack uses a throw hitbox, causing it to whiff vs. airborne or throw invincible opponents

Switches sides on hit; can hold forward/back on hit to move in that direction, dealing 100 less damage; holding forward keeps opponent on the same side with 4f worse KD Advantage; too slow to work as a reversal against many attacks, but half-screen suction makes it powerful as a projectile counter; can hold button for a fully charged launching version; plays out the held version on block or when juggled into; active frame distribution: vacuum 91f, juggle 1(4)2(7)2(8)2(7)2(8)2(9)2(7)2(9)2(8)3 starting on frame 33
