While that’s great that a big chunk of the damage comes at the last hit… how many times have you gotten the TWO hit ultras?
One. Two. STRIKE! (whiff)
C’mon… I know the rest of you Guile users have experienced this.
Play with Balrog. Or Dudley. Heard he’s going to be a monster.
You sir, are crazy. I see NO benefit in keeping combos super strict. I’m all for rubbing it in people’s faces when I hit them with 1 frame links, but I’d rather people call me cheap for doing an easy combo all the time than occasionally hitting a hard combo.
If it is indeed a 2-frame link that opens up knockdown mixups after you tack the Cr. Rh on the end of SB. Meaty SB on wake up with the threat of U2 is gonna lead to alot of bs.
Guys chill out. I think this should be Guile’s new theme song:

Well if it is a 2 frame link assuming they gave cr.lp an extra frame advantage.
then guile would be able to do. cr,lp cr.lp cr.lp st. fierce xx super :wow:
fuck that. its going to be. cr.lp cr.lp cr.lp ~ flash kick all day
not to mention he would be able to tick throw better now
see too easy =P

Wow, his LK Flash Kick looked like it almost went straight up then down. Now on block he won’t be directly in front of the opponent and bent over with his pants down, like usual.
U2 seems almost as good as everyone thought it was going to be, but now that I heard about this U1 damage boost I wanna see that too.
Apparently in the Hakan dev blog, Capcom will be talking about the changes for the original characters. Ryu and some others are up pretty soon, so at least we can reasonably expect something official instead of so much speculation. They better have done something, with all their big talk of “We know Guile is weak, blah blah blah, problem that he can’t combo Ultra, footsies and normals” ::YAWN::
Lately all I seem to be hearing is backtracking on those words from Seth Killian and the gang. Perhaps they didn’t have time to worry about poor old Guile in time for release, lol. Hopefully that isn’t the case.

couldn’t agree more. i’ve spent a year getting cr.mp down to the point where i’m hitting it properly 8/10 times, yet i’m still getting dp’d/ultra’d out of it. i don’t care if they make it easier, i want it to work.
i don’t see why people are worried about jumping on the guile “bandwagon”. firstly, because they wont. secondly, if he becomes a more viable character pick do you really think they are just going to be beastly with him overnight? 
you have at least a years worth more experience than them, use it to your advantage.
like i’m ever using that ultra again!:lol: in all seriousness…there MIGHT be like one character that it’s a better ultra to use on. but then i won’t be able to do bazooka knee into ultra, so i’m sticking to ultra 2.:rock:
this review is done by a guile main:

“I headed straight to Guile - I’d heard he’d been ever so slightly tweaked to make him more powerful, and as an old school fan of the spiky-haired US army general, I needed to know. It’s true: he’s now even better. His pressure mix up game - so good in past Street Fighters - is reborn. **His crouching medium punch is now easier to link from, enabling some great poke, Sonic Boom, tick throw mix ups. **”
so yes, it looks like you might well be on the money.

Compared to the Sagat nerfs, Guile got shades but he is looking decent to use.
to me it seems like you guys are getting a little too hopeful. we have no frame data, so basically ALL of this is speculation. I’m waiting till the game comes out and we get some soild time into it before I decide if guile is even competitive.
When was Guile ever not competitive?

seems like I was right all along…

Did you watch the new Guile vs Hakan video?
Guile being able to Sonic Hurricane at anytime, every match, including reversals, and the amazing quick recovery will make him better. His strings are supposedly easier to do as well.
Am I greedy for wanting “great” and not just “better than okay?”
Also, in the very, very rare situations that we jump during someone’s Ultra animation (ex: Gief) and are able to build a back charge in the air before hitting the ground, we could probably combo j.hk to U2.
Ask not what Guile can do for you - ask what you can do with Guile.

EventHubs posted a large article on a shit ton of character changes and notes, check it: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/mar/22/gigantic-list-ssf4-changes-and-notes/
It looks like this contradicts what that other Guile player wrote up about Guile’s changes in SSF4. Fuck would this game just drop already so I can see for myself!

As always that write-up is based on the information in our new info thread. You can see in the new info thread, that other than that one guy who gave us hope, someone else translated the stuff in that event hubs list. Notice the dumb crap they wrote about Guile, as opposed to the news from Videogamer (I think), about potentially easier links and such: “no cross-up FK, HARD PUNCH sonic boom MAY go faster”. Doesn’t sound like he knows what he’s talking about. Don’t believe it, man. Some people don’t know enough about Guile to be qualified to speak about any alterations to his normals. Guile will be better than before, but just how much is the question.
I’m still hoping for full-screen lasers, air assists, and sunglasses allowing us to call in an air strike.
