I'm not much of a Street Fighter guy, and I still hold a minor grudge against Zangief for biting his freshest moves from Metro City Player Mike Haggar, but there's no denying that the red cyclone has a certain knack for tossing dudes around. If you possess even a shred of doubt about Zangief's capacity for grabbing dudes and then throwing dudes, I'd like to direct your attention to this seven-minute video, which was brought to our attention by Capcom's Seth Killian, of 'Gief giving the grief to virtually every character in every game he's appeared in. No one is spared his spine-crushing fury!
Zangief
Character » appears in 65 games
Zangief is a Soviet/Russian professional wrestler from the Street Fighter series, who fights for glory of his homeland. Although usually depicted in adaptations as a villain, he is undeniably a good guy in the games and often helps the other heroic/anti-hero characters face off against the title's antagonists.

The timing is this video was crazy. He countered some Hypers with perfect timing.
Oh yeah, Zangief rules! Any man who can take piledriver Hulk, Juggernaut, and fire breathing T-Rexes is a legend.
@Coonce The lil guy is Servbot, he is entertaining and awesome. He was in Marvel vs Capcom 2. I think he is somehow connected to the Mega Man series.
Haha that was pretty flipping awesome, was crazy to see all those street fighter games aswell. I want to play the VS Capcom games now, they look insane.
LMAO at 5:37!
Akuma: "Prepare youself..."
Zangief: "...FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!!"
*Zangief continues pwnage*
