  It&apos;s implied in World Tour that after all his training he has kind of figured out ki like other characters. Meaning he could theoretically throw a projectile but it&apos;s just not his style.

  Street Fighter: The Movie&apos;s EX Green Hand for Zangief can actually reverse opponents fireballs on them which was pretty neat.

  &quot;Simple&quot; solution: &nbsp;let Tundra Storm catch and reflect fireballs.

  If I remember right, wasn&apos;t it explained briefly at some point that green hand as a technique was literally born from his hatred of others constantly throwing projectiles at him? Like, the fire was literally his burning hatred of zoning.

  I think a missed opportunity for Capcom was having his Drive Impact animation not be the green hand animation. I feel like that would&apos;ve been a good middle ground for the character.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2M7OxKjpkI&amp;t=1165">19:25</a> Back in the day when Street Fighter IV was new, me and my buddy always played it at his place after school. One day, during a heated fight, he came up with the name &quot;Fist of Chernobyl&quot;. We called it that ever since.

  The flame comes from him sweating vodka, and slapping the air so hard it ignites.

  Don&apos;t worry. Three years down the line when we get the &quot;final&quot; season of DLC for SF6, they&apos;ll do a character movelist update and add back Green Hand and also give us Aerial Tundra Storm so Geif can counter kicks in the air and go from A tier to X tier and banned from tournaments.

  The green hand animation in the alpha series looked so nice.

  Dang, they gave Zangief a White Wild Assault before it was invented, crazy.

  The lore was he learned it to beat fireballs in the comic. He didn&apos;t understand Ki but through training he learned away to block it.
