Capcom, The way to Strenghten Guile is

I think Capcom stated they don’t do DLC for manners such as that.

I was thinking that there was going to be no arcade version so that perhaps they could regularly release balance patches, instead of making a big mistake and then having to wait more than a year to correct it

If all they changed was for Guile’s Ultra 1 to “lock on” after first or any hit like Sagat’s ultra 1, wouldn’t that instantly make it a decent ultra? It already works “well” against jump-ins. The ultra just happens to crap out and give us three hits every time.

not dlc, a patch.

but maybe they said they will never patch the game, I just must have missed that somewhere

Wanted to throw you guys some freebie stuff I got done a little while back by NESK. I’m sure you can have somebody Photoshop my name out. I had NESK put my xbox live name in and his signature to show who made it up for me. Enjoy and put it on your TE’s if you like! I still need to get em done up by Art’s hobbies but I thought I would share with fellow Guile players.

I’ll probably make either my stick skin regardless if I play Guile or not on pure dopeness of the images.

The reasoning behind taking away crumple on EX sobat was bullshit. There’s a number of ways to make that move balanced without removing crumple.

Maybe EX sobat does more hits, so the followup is scaled more, and does less damage.

Maybe they increase startup, so it only combo’s from a certain normal, that can’t be linked to (think gouken).

Two ways to make it more balanced, right off the top of my head, and there are probably plenty more that don’t involve removing the crumple. Instead of retaining the crumple, which would’ve made for an interesting property, capcom took the bitch way out and made the move less threatening.

I do hate how Capcom insists on removing stuff instead of tweaking them to retain balance or make them work (really? you guys couldn’t do anything to fix Dudley’s thunderbolt in sf3, you had to just scrap it?). There’s so many properties to play with (start up, recovery, active frames, damage, stun, range, crumple, juggle) to make sure a move isn’t overpowered. I would have liked to see a balanced sobat crumple for SSF4 because there aren’t enough characters with one move crumples, but they’d rather be lazy and pretend nothing could be done. So I hear ya…

edit: wait wtf? is this still the guile thread? this shit needs to stop. :stuck_out_tongue:

“Guile has gotten some enhancements to make him more competitive. Flash Kick has gotten more range, more stamina and a projectile type U2 (Sonic Hurricane), that will probably be the most used by players.”

Woo…hoo?

What? Flash Kick has more stamina?! That’s awesome!

Call me retarded but what does it mean for a move to have more stamina? I’m guessing they meant Guile takes longer to stun, or maybe the move has more active frames?

Are you kidding? It obviously means that they are replacing Guile with Flash Kick. And Flash Kick will have more stamina than Guile as well as a projectile Ultra. DUH.

(really, it probably just mean that Guile himself has more health)

Awesome I hope he is way better

The article considers Guile to be more competitve…not just “low tier”…that it’s self makes my day.

Wait. I think you might be confused. That article mentions GUILE. Not Dee Jay.

crickets

hahaha oh come one, i lold at his bad joke.

All I know is, I may have to switch mains to Flash Kick. Maxxx, are you with me?

More range on fk? I hope they mean vertical range.

Better normals
Better Ultra
More Stamina
More damage on normals(supposedly)
more range on fk

Not too bad.

I don’t know if it makes him more “Guile-y”…but it’s a step up from SFIV.

I’m down. Fuck Guile. FK is gonna have more stamina, a projectile ultra, and more range.

Ten bucks if you start a Flash Kick thread.
