Guile General Discussion: Go home and be a family man

I hope his moves, including his super, have a universal charge time, none of this Chun Li SBK different times.

This is the only thing that worries me a little. They gave Nash both sobat and something similar to the bazooka knee, so this might mean the crouch move (which i’m assuming is 3xP) is the only way to maintain charge whist moving forward. In that case, bazooka knee and sobat are probably replaced by something similar to his neutral st.lk and st.mk in SF4. If he still does have those moves then I don’t really see the point in giving him the charge crouch, so that’s why I think his normals have definitely been altered.

Can someone explain the v-skill? It sounds to me it works like one of Laura’s fireballs?

It’s glorious! (what did you expect from one of the best songs that goes with everything?)

Very classic metal, with some 3rd strike feel beat to it.

His stance is perfect. Right outta SF2.

His super will most likely be motion based on the whole ā€œcopy from 3rd Strikeā€ bit that the game has going for it.

Guile V-Reversal is backfist? Can anyone translate his profile page?

It seems like most people are assuming his crouch walk is a command input, but I’m kind of hoping it’s just what happens when you press down-forward, like a forward-only darkstalkers crouch walk. I think that’d be really cool, I think a weird walk-forward stance thing would be kind of clumsy, especially for a character that’s usually pretty elegant and low-execution.

Yes, I assumed that his crouch walk happened when you simply held down forward, that way you still kept a charge for flash kicks while moving forward.

But the down forward motion doesn’t allow you to throw booms :-/

That’s why I’m thinking the crouch walk may just be a special move command that automatically starts moving you forward and then you can just input a charge. Most likely doing any normal or special move will cancel it.

It’s going to be a coward crouch input. You’ll be able to press db+ppp or db+kkk to do it. This will let you keep both back and down charge.

Think Ky’s seals in Xrd where his projectiles get buffed if they pass through them, but this time, the ā€œsealā€ itself can hit.

I was just reading the translation of the capcom japan page and it sounds like you can fire a sonic boom into it to create an even more powerful fireball. Guile sounds like he might play a lot differently than we even realise right now.

Sad that backfist is his V-Reversal. Nash has that as a normal already so I’m not particularly surprised.

That V-skill sounds fucking baller.

I wonder if you’re able to finish a combo into it too? Will it absorb opponents fireballs so you don’t even need to have a charge for booms? Maybe you can fire a sonic boom into it so it crosses up if they fail to quick rise. His V-Trigger sounds really good too (even if it is 3 bars). The possibilities with V-Skill and V-Trigger (SF4 omega booms) combined is the first thing I’m going to test.

I’m not going to lie, he sounds pretty powerful right now. Even if he’s shit tier I’m all aboard the hype train though.

I wonder if we’ll get him before the end of the month…
