Anyone find any use for the Zangief "Stomach Grab".  You must
jump straight up holding either up or down on the stick (forgot
so sue me!) then push a punch button (have only tried firece though).
This has to be the stupidest move in the world.  Zangief jumps
up and grabs his stomach.  It has such a small hit range especially
since you cannot do it jumping forward or backward.  (BTW: Noticed
in SNES SF][).

		I don't know if you actually read anyone else's posts,
	but yes, as Brian stated directly above your post, the "stomach
	grab" is very effective for knocking Vega out of the air.  BTW,
	your post about a standing fierce punch being a good way to
	knock Vega out of the wall climb is extremely foolish.  This 
	is effective against beginning Vega, but someone who uses him
	with any degree of profeciency should be able to grab you out
	of this very consistently...

Hell, no!!  It has a wide hit range.  Just that it won't opponents on the 
ground.  It server as a USEFUL counter to aerial attacks.

It stops Vega's screaming eagle and Bison's head stomp cold.  Also useful
for taking out Chun Li's bouncing on your head.  The only way it'll hit 
opponents on the ground is that you must be real close to them.
Trust me, Zangief needs this move against a Vega.
(Wish Dhalsim had one.....)

I've found that the action is a great way to control jumping-in Chun-Li's,
but you have to time it correctly... (Like what doesn't require timing...)
