    I would punch a sickly puppy if this happened to me.

    It happens at a 1:35 in the video so you can just skip to the end if you want. Its totally worth it.

    I've had this happen to me before, it was unbelieveable!
     
    It wouldn't matter in this case here but I hate the fact that some special moves only 'end' (for the lack of a better word) the clock on the final hit even if the guy had 1% health when you started. Like Zangief here, instead of it killing an enemy on the first it, you have to sit through 6 more seconds of animation until the clock stops and the round's over. All special moves should stop the clock the second all the healthbar's gone, like Sagat or Ryu's ultras, for instance.

    That's how Zangief was designed to win. Very rarely do I win with him in some whirlwind victory. I'm usually at almost no health and then I grab the motherfucker with a maximum ULTRA and take the remaining 60% of his life bar. And then they disconnect.

    It's true, Gief has such a high damage resistance and high damage moves because he needs to get in close in order to do that damage. 
      
    It's not all that hard to keep him away, so it stands to reason that he should be given the opportunity to do huge damage when he finally gets there. The difference is scrubs don't mind little blocks of damage flying throughout the match, they dislike the idea that you can do it all at once (despite the fact if you look over the time it took to get into position to do that, the damage to time ratio is probably the same or worse) so the fuckers disconnect. It's lame.  
     
    Edit: Wow, that video was harsh, the Gief player deserved the win there. Ouch :P

    I don't know about punching a sickly puppy, but something would get broken! So, the final hit had to be in the time limit for the combo to register?

    Oh wow, you'd think they'd let him finish the ultra since it connected before the time ran out. It seems like a pretty silly mechanic that you have to do Giefs ultra before the timer hits six or seven seconds.

    Good, I hope the Gief player decides to never play again because of it.

    I've actually seen that a few times online my self.  A funny thing that finally happened to me is that I got a "Draw Game".  That has never happened to me before.

    I've also had this happen, as cheap as it feels, I have no problem letting the timer run out in the middle of someone's ultra.

    Nothing brings a smile to my face quite like seeing Zangief get shafted. Having said that, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to direct your attention to the following:

    Man this actually happend to me today. I was in the middle of Gen ultra and the time ran out. I still won the round cause it did enough before the time ran out. It was also a casual match so it was all good anyways. We got a laugh.
