Atomic Drop

The Atomic Drop is one of Zangief throws in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near an opponent. Zangief starts the throw by turning his opponent around. Next, he puts grabs the opponent's side and lifts them up. Finally, he drops his opponent tailbone-first on his knee. The opponent bounces off of Zangief's knee and lands on their stomach.

Tactics
While Zangief's gameplay is heavily reliant on command throws, it is important to have his normal throws as an option. Even though this move does less damage compared to Screw Pile Driver, it has less frames of whiff recovery. If Zangief is going for a meaty attack, the opponent may try to respond with a neutral jump to avoid the potential command throw and be in position to whiff punish him. However, the normal throw will give Zangief plenty of time to recover and launch a counterattack against the opponent.

Trivia

 * This move is based on a popular professional wrestling move called the Atomic Drop.
