Tactical mashing: Using Zangief’s Lariats and EX Spinning Pile Driver to beat frame traps in Street Fighter V

Use your Muscle Power to bust right through those pesky frame traps.

Zangief’s Lariat, Cyclone Lariat (V-Trigger), and EX Spinning Pile Driver all pull Zangief’s hurtbox back a little–just enough to cause certain normals to miss, meaning the frame trap your opponent may be trying to use against you can whiff instead, if your timing is right. In the video below, MrSlaynman breaks down how to take advantage of this, demonstrating how to apply these three moves to “tactically” mash out of frame traps and turn the tables on your opponent. Frame trap escape examples for the whole SFV roster are shown, and timestamped in the video description.
