History

While Mother Russia has declined in power, Zangief has grown in his. He is the best wrestler ever to emerge from its soils, and he proves this every time he takes on the native Russian grizzly bears for sport. He has yet to meet a man who can match his strength, save Mike Haggar, the American wrestler turned Metro City Mayor. In fact, the two are rivals, and Zangief has successful mimicked Haggar's Spinning Lariat. Zangief hopes to fight Haggar soon and pummel him with his world-famous Spinning Piledriver. Little does he know that Haggar has, in return, copied this move from HIM!

Zangief enters originally to defend the proud name of the USSR but watches the country splintering into a Commonwealth of Independent States before his very eyes. Displeased at the world thinking Russia has collapsed, he enters the Street Fighter tournament in an effort to bring glory back to his country. He is highly amused at the antics of the American fighter Ken and looks forward to crushing the puny little man. Woe to any opponent who gets in Zangief's clutches! His grappling techniques are unparalleled, and none can withstand his Final Atomic Buster super attack! Blanka is another World Warrior he looks forward to defeating, because he reminds him of the bears he wrestles in Russia.
