While we usually focus on strategies for fighting against other players here on Shoryuken, occasionally, something pops up for the single-player modes of a game that is too good to ignore. In this case, we have a video showcasing how Zangief can beat Ultra Street Fighter IV by using only one move: his lariat.

Below, Gief Kid shows how defeating the highest difficulty is possible just by picking Zangief and mashing the hell out of his PPP lariat. Now, while the technique isn’t totally foolproof–it’s, frankly, useless against the barrel bonus stage–it’s enough to spin him past every character the game throws at him.
