As a gief player i like his chances in the match up of equally skilled players.
There is absolutely no way Ryu loses to Zangief in matchups in sfv. The fireballs, Ryus walking and jumping speed and easy but damagewise overpowered combos annihilate Zangief easily. Zangiefs anti airs are bad so it is quite easy for ryu to jump in, whereas ryus shoryuken stops nearly everything. Even command grabs can't touch ryu since they an lose to normal grabs or any of ryu's buttons in street fighter v
