General:
Zangief was a wrestler
who impressed the president of the then USSR, Gorbachev, so much that he
was hired by the government as a national hero. He became known as the
Red Cyclone and was sent to fight the threat of Shadaloo. He didn't do
much in SFA3 though, except meeting Mika. He is kind of strange. He also
hates projectile attacks but he likes Ryu.

Comment:
An unforgettable
veteran of the original Street Fighter cast... And he's only gotten bigger
and badder from sequel to sequel. Gotta love the gief.
