losing to an amateur

Even in the right hands he can get zoned the fuck out by characters. His best match up is against Abel of all people.

 

Best bet vs Flowchart Kens? Block and punish whiffed SRKs with SPD/RBG. Punish jump ins with lariat. If he tires to poke with F+MK, use Standing Strong. You aren't going to survive using Gief if you don't know his footsies. He really requires understanding everyone else's footsies strength to win. Even then it's still a hard battle (lol Viper no footsies can still beat him too).

Trust me, a whole boat load of Gief's game is revolved around his footsies game to get in. He's got some gdlk normals to work with too, but once again, any character who can zone will most definitely beat Gief. Granted, if your playing Gief, your footsies should be godlike by now.
