Zangief's Style: Mastery[]

Zangief: The body is like iron! It must be forged and tempered! DAH!

  • "What are your muscles saying today? Spare me your furrowed brow! Listening to your muscles daily is a fundamental step in ensuring their growth. In good times and bad, your muscles are always there for you. Conversely, they will always share their feelings. Perk up your ears... and listen. Do you hear that voice? Communication is key to beautiful, healthy muscle tone. Never, ever forget that."
  • "Do you find yourself preferring specific techniques in fights, comrade?"
    • (Answer: I like attacking from afar!) "Hrm. You have a penchant for projectiles, do you?"
    • (Answer: It's all about the throws!) "But of course, it always comes back to throws! Very well! Today will be a lecture on the glorious world of throws!"
  • "There are plenty of ways to quickly dismantle an opponent. Grabbing and throwing just happens to be most efficient. Strangle their options. Throw them to the mat before they strike! There's no style more simple...or devastating. Withstanding your opponent's strikes before tossing them across the ring is the essence of pro wrestling. I'll teach you about that essence soon enough. Anyway! To throw an opponent, you must first endure a few hits-each scar on your body is a glorious medal of valor."
  • "I have just the training regimen for you, comrade! Oh no, it's nothing complicated. A thousand squats will provide all the lower body strength you could ever ask for! Why the look, friend? Strong legs are where it all begins. Train them well, and they'll never betray you!"
  • "I've got a training method I've been using in secret... When walking, try taking two steps back for every three steps forward! A walk in the park will become anything but! The downside is that it will take you forever to reach your destination. Gwahaha!"
  • "Once, in winter, I went for a long run on a frozen river. The harsh beauty of nature makes for a wonderful training partner. And the blinding white snow, as far as the eye can see- it helps focus your spirit. On this particular day, however... I happened to notice something below the thick layer of ice I was running on. It caught my interest, so I decided to fish it out. I gathered every gram of strength in my body, like this! Hrrrraaagh! And would believe? The ice split and gave way, and I pulled up a submarine, of all things! Gwahahah!...What? Impossible, you say? If you say it's impossible, it's impossible! But if instead you train harder, one day you'll be able to do it too!" (A Bond with Zangief: 1)
  • "Does the phrase "Red Cyclone" ring any bells?
    • (Answer: Of course it does.) "Ho! A silly question, I suppose. In that case... Do you know why they started calling me the Red Cyclone? I bet you don't know THAT one! Gwahaha! No, I suppose you would not. I've barely mentioned it, after all! But as your teacher, I will today bestow upon you the name's closely guarded origin story!"
    • (Answer: Is that a new vacuum cleaner or something?) "N-Never heard of it, have you... I suppose it was arrogant of me to assume you had. You may know me as Zangief, but to the world, I am known as the Red Cyclone. How did I come to earn such a title? Today, I reveal to you the secrets of its origin."
  • "Red Cyclone" wasn't coined by me, no, but the fans in the stands. Many of my moves have a spinning element, and I pulled them off in the ring while clad in red. To spectators, it appeared as if a crimson tornado engulfed the ring. The fans shouted "Red Cyclone!" I thought it was a delightful analogy! The rest, as they say, is history."
  • "You're on some kind of journey, yes? And it doesn't look to be simple tourism. Ah, its a journey to become stronger? Excellent! That doesn't sound so different to a pro wrestler going on tour. Don't overlook any place during your travels. You wouldn't believe the caliber of fighters you'll find in this world!"
  • "I bet you've tasted defeat many times already. After all, fighting wouldn't be a competition if you could only win! There's no need to fret over your losses, They're just proof you can still get stronger! What you must do is drink down those bitter tears of defeat, and let them become nourishment for your muscles!"
  • "It's what's on the inside that counts" "You've probably heard this said often... and it's true! But the outer appearance of a person is just the most visible layer of the inside! Take me, for example-I run around in public in barely there wrestling tights and don't feel a shred of shame! One look at me and you know what exactly what kind of person I am on the inside! Gwahah!"
  • "This is a story from the... what is the word? Nascent? Days of my career... I was performing in underground wrestling circuits. I wore a mask, then, and called myself "The Gief". I faced wrestlers from around the world there. Plenty of colorful characters from society's darker side, too. I learned from those fights. I Incorporated elements of their fighting styles, growing ever stronger. Before that, all I cared about was strength. Victory. But then, I saw wrestlers who did more than just win. They performed. Before long, I found myself striving to become that kind of wrestler. In hindsight, that was when my wrestling ideals took shape." (A Bond With Zangief: 2)
  • "Training coming along well? There are limits to what you can achieve on your own. A question for you. Do you have a comrade whom you can trust from the bottom of your heart?
    • (Answer: I think I do.) "Do you now! That's good to hear. If nothing comes immediately to mind, don't fret! You'll know they're a true friend when they arrive to help. It's not my business to ask who you have in mind. There is but one thing I ask you vow from the bottom of your heart. Even if you end up separated, believe in them. No matter what others may say, remain steadfast in your belief."
    • (Answer: I'm still not sure.) "I see... No need to rush it. Fight countless battles, and you'll meet countless friends. In time, you'll find one worthy of being called a comrade. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you find someone to whom YOUR heart screams "comrade."
  • "Hrm? You're wondering if I have a comrade? Oh, I have plenty. Two in particular come to mind, though. One is Edmond Honda, a sumo wrestler. The other is pro wrestler Rainbow Mika. Together we have faced unspeakable evil... Heh. Goodness, that takes me back."
  • "Maybe you already know this, but in pro wrestling, I made my name as a 'heel'-the bad guy in the story. These days, some people are saying I did a babyface turn... I don't know what they're talking about, though! But all of that is just part of the show. Wrestlers are only good and bad in the ring. Once it's over, we shake hands for a fight well fought. For me, this is what fighting should always be like. The zeal of the fighters, the thud of the mat, the roar of the crowd as their favorite tastes glory or defeat... If the world's problems were solved through wrestling, it would be a much better place."
  • "This book I've been reading didn't seem like anything special. Just another story of adventure. But the way it captured the protagonist's inner psychology was truly something. It had me turning pages till dawn. By the time I finished, I felt like I had known this character for most of my life."
  • "I've actually been reading mystery novels lately. It's not exactly my favorite genre, but stepping out of your comfort zone now and then is a good thing. I get a little too invested in this kind of tale, though... Even if you've solved the mystery, you can't tell the cast! "The butler did it! Why can't you figure this out?"...the frustration lasts longer than the book."
  • "I don't pay much attention to the best seller lists. Most of my books, I buy from small bookstores on a whim. It sometimes feels like I can hear a book calling to me. Those ones are always the best books. Peculiar, no? Books are things of mystery indeed, comrade."
  • "Hrm... You've acquired truly beautiful muscles indeed, I see. Time for the final test. Show me what those muscles are capable of!" (Pre-Mastery Fight)
  • "Gwahaha! Looks like I must tap out! There's nothing left for me to teach you. Unlike my lessons, however, the beauty of muscles is unending. They will be with you forevermore!" (Mastery Achieved)
  • "Are you aware of a fighter called Rainbow Mika? She's a seeker of well-muscled artistry like yourself. She began training under me before you, in fact. That makes her your elder-sister-in-training. She's a top fighter, and an active wrestler no less. Feels like only yesterday she stepped into the ring for the first time. Now she's big enough to be the main event! She's got great instincts, like you...and she has such... Such zeal? Such passion! Passion for wrestling. Ah, it brings a tear to my eyes! Ahem! Forgive me. I got a little carried away. In any case, I'd like to see you and her face off some time." (A Bond With Zangief: 3)
  • "Tell me, have you thrown a Hadoken before? It's not my place to forbid such techniques, of course. But, just standing back and hurling projectiles? You could say it runs counter to my aesthetic sensibilities. ....Ryu, Guile, everyone... Always they're throwing those damn projectiles... It's a valid strategy, of course. And were I to use them, surely I could open a world of new...possibilities... Gah! what am I saying!? The only projectiles I need are the opponents I grab and throw! That's how I fight! How I'll ALWAYS fight! For me to even contemplate such heresy... Clearly I am neglecting my training! Today, I will do 5,000 squats!"
  • "You keep coming to see me, yes? You must be a passionate wrestling fan. You've trained to perform moves, and withstand them. Your muscles no longer shriek from the pain of training, but joy! As your muscles cultivate strength, however, you must never forget to give them proper rest. Fail to relieve the tension in your tangled tendons, and your body might come apart at the seams. If you think that's a waste of time, then spend it building the muscles in your head instead. And no, I don't mean headbutts. You could try reading books, for instance. This might come as as surprise to you, but I read 300 books a year. Right, then. Today, we're going to the local library. It's one of my favorite places. I have a feeling you'll quickly take liking to it as well." (A Bond With Zangief: 4)

Master Missions[]

Poster Pandemonium[]
  • "Why, if it isn't my humble pupil! You haven't stumbled across any... strange posters in Metro City, have you? There's a group of evildoers using a name suspiciously similar to my own. some kind of box office scam they're running. If you see one of their posters, tear it down."

  • Uou: "Why aren't you beside yourself with rage!? We're being treated like second-string jobbers!
  • Saou: "Honestly, I'm cool with it. This is just for practice, yeah?"
  • Uou: "Brother. Please. Even practice sessions need an angle. But more importantly! We will make it clear! Who! Is! King! Of the RING!"
  • Saou: "Uh huh. Whatever you say, brother."
  • Uou: "Next time, fool, I'll break you! I'll pound your bones into a powdery dust! Well, how about that? I ended up getting some nice practice out of that too. Next time, we'll do it in the ring, with a full house watching! Bwaha!" (Post-match)

  • "Now here's a honey-loving creature I'd recognize anywhere. Fierce and bold, with the strength to back it up. Bears are incredible animals. I fought one once, you know? And let me tell you, it was no easy fight. More than a few scars on this body of mine are reminders of that particular encounter! Just seeing this is enough to set my hairs on end. I can feel my muscles getting ready to fight for their life! Gwahahah!" (Reaction to Wooden Bear)
