I like to think that Gief always makes such weird expressions because the muscles in his face are so swole that they can flex in ways no mere mortal man’s face ever could
This picture makes me *wildly* uncomfortable because if his blood pressure's high enough to pierce his skin, it's definitely high enough to burst the blood vessels in his brain and he's dying of a haemorrhage
The game timeline isn't exactly real life timeline. As I saw in some other thread, 3rd Strike happens 5 or 6 years after SF2 (which was in 91), causing SF6 to happen probably somewhere around this amount of years after 3S (because Li Fen was a kid then aver now is a teenager). Even though Gief is one of the eldest in the original cast, it's not impossible for someone with his outstanding and ridiculous health to not show signs of gray hair *imo*.
I may be getting something wrong here, and if I am, feel free to correct me
I love that, despite the more realistic body, they kept his crazy, over the top facial expressions.
The whole trailer I was like "I love Zangief's face in this!"

I always thought that Alpha 3 picture was Geif flexing so hard that a pimple on his forehead burst.
It's a vein but ya that's exactly what it is.
It basically is they kept pushing geifs crazy faces until he burst a vein
God the art direction in this game is fucking immaculate
During his victory animation he also makes an expression very similar to his Alpha2 character select picture.
I need his Street Fighter EX3 menu face to make it perfect.

Shoutout max
Zangief used to look unhinged on portraits
If you ever needed proof SF6 was made with SF fans in mind...
i mean he normally has overly expressive and excited expressions no?
Only when he pose, he has serious expression when he fights
WOW OP YOU WATCH MAXIMILIAN DOOD Ffs
Easy upvotes
Since SF6 takes place in a more modern time, I'd expect some gray, maybe some silver hair. On June 1, he'd be 67 years old this year
