MODERN ZANGIEF IS REALLY TOO BROKEN

Justin Wong goes all-in on modern mode Zangief in Street Fighter 6, and the results speak for themselves. Known for his grappling dominance, Zangief's modern control scheme streamlines his command throws and pressure tools, making him exceptionally difficult to escape. Wong demonstrates why the character has become such a potent force in the current meta—his ability to control space and force opponents into disadvantageous positions turns matches into one-sided affairs. The video captures Wong's perspective as he leans hard into what makes modern Zangief so threatening: simplified inputs that don't sacrifice damage or utility. Whether it's his signature Red Cyclone or corner pressure sequences, the character's tools feel overtuned for the accessibility modern mode provides. If you're curious about why Zangief has risen to prominence in SF6's competitive landscape, or just want to see what happens when a veteran player commits fully to one character, this run showcases exactly why the big man deserves his reputation.
