I think I only pulled off Zangeif's spinning pile driver in Street Fighter II once...although it may have been a dream.

the very best arcade sf2 players absolutely destroy with zangeif because they can do the spinning pile driver at will and it has such ridiculous range and is virtually unblockable if done correctly.

i was never on the experts' level with zangief but i could probably do the spinning pile driver like 60+% of the time i tried it in the arcades. biggest problem was finding opportunities to do it. it was much more difficult to learn on the snes d-pad.

also, when i first started playing sf2 in the arcades i'd almost never use ken or ryu because i couldn't pull of the dragon punch with consistency (though i can now), but it was really easy for me to do on the snes d-pad.
