Description[]
Executed by pressing forward and Heavy Kick, Zangief launches himself with a spinning wheel kick.
Tactics[]
When performing this move, Zangeif is momentarily in the air; allowing him to punish low pokes from a distance. Despite its 22-frame startup, this move covers 1/4 of the screen and has decent pushback. Even though it's unsafe on block, it can be difficult for the opponent to punish if properly spaced. Cyclone Wheel Kick is also Zangief's overhead, which can be used to surprise a crouching opponent. If he scores a Punish Counter with this move, it causes the opponent to bounce on the ground, allowing Zangief to continue the combo with Hellstab. Cyclone Wheel Kick also can be used during juggle combos.
