With everyone focused on the inadvertent reveal of newcomer Laura, it’s easy to forget that Zangief was just recently confirmed to return in Street Fighter V. That said, anyone still looking forward to seeing the Red Cyclone in the hands of top players are in luck.

None other than reigning Capcom Cup champion, Evil Geniuses’ Momochi himself, will be demonstrating Zangief in Street Fighter V alongside Capcom’s Tomoaki Ayano as part of he and Chocoblanka’s Shinobi no Kai 2 Vol. 2 broadcast.

The event, which will see Momochi play and help others learn the game, is currently live. The next session is scheduled for 2:30 PM JST (10:30 PDT, 1:30 EDT tonight), but no word was provided as to when viewers can expect the Zangief demo. Stay tuned!

Those interested can catch the stream below or on Twitch.
