Tundra Storm

The Tundra Storm is one of Zangief's special attacks, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by performing a "Shoryuken" motion (forward, downward then down-forward) and pressing two kick buttons. Zangief opens his arms out wide, anticipating a kick. If timed correctly, Zangief will catch the opponent's leg. Next, he spins their leg inwards causing his opponent to fall off balance and twist in the air bringing them to the ground in a turning motion.

Tactics
Zangief is at his best when he is very close to his opponent, pressuring them with frame trap combos and command throws. To counter, the opponent will try to keep Zangief at a distance, using their longest normal to attack from afar. This move can be used to counteract this strategy. It is a parry that catches horizontally-aligned kicking attacks. While timing of this attack can be difficult, the total damage it can inflict is equal to that of Zangief's other command throws, such as Screw Pile Driver or Siberian Express.

However, this move won't parry low attacks, fireballs, or any type of punching attacks. Additionally, it does not work on any horizontally aligned kicks from certain characters, like Balrog or Vega. In order to get the most out of this move, it is critical to know which attack(s) Zangief's can catch by using this move, as well as being able to read when the opponent will throw out that specific move.

Trivia

 * This move is arguably based on a popular professional wrestling move called the Dragon Screw Legwhip.
