Making Street Fighter 4's Survival and Time Attack modes a lot easier

This is a long, tedious and sometimes difficult process, but there's a way to make it much easier.
Street Fighter 4's computer AI has a really hard time with Zangief's Lariat (3x Punch) move. Even during the tougher challenges, it will only block the first hit, but subsequent attacks will usually get through.
In some rounds all you'll have to do is this move, while in others you may have throw in a little blocking and timing.
So while spamming Gief's Lariat over and over may not win you style points, it will make getting through these challenges MUCH easier, and then you can have full access to the taunts and colors for each character.
