Guile General Discussion: Go home and be a family man

Doubt it. They’re clearly following the same path 3rd Strike did where everyone including charge characters had motion supers.

I’m fine with guile getting a new doo, classic costume packs should be the future not a default imo.

Give him the van damn cut, in fact give him a sf the movie alt lmao

I was about to make this thread lol. I can’t see him getting more special moves, as he is iconic in that sense. I do think he will have a slightly changed appearance along with new command normals/super. Nash has a lot of his command normals already so it’d be redundant for Guile to get them as well. As for how he will play, I think he will be fine. I am really excited to see what Capcom will do with him though.

PS, this thread desperately needs a clever title like the other character threads.

There’s already a Guile thread you dopes

I heard from somebody he will have an eye patch this time around. Also, I imagine he will have updated command normals/super as Nash already has most of Guile’s old normals.

Lol RIP “Guile Thread”

Lmfao

RIP Sagat

My hopes for Guile:

  • Only 2 Special Moves. Total Charge Character (except for CA obvs.).
  • His Sonic Boom and Flashkick would shit on Nash’s
  • Sonic Hurricane = Ex Sonic Boom
  • Ex Flashkick has very fast start up and recovery, puts opponents into a slow falling juggle state allowing Guile to airthrow them immediately after, or even combo into a second flash kick.
  • Most TCs and Command Normals of any character
  • VT would be the Ex Sonic Boom from Omega Mode. Fires as many sonic booms (after the first one hits, using only 1 or 2 punch buttons; No need to charge) until the gauge depletes. Can combo into it or from it. We can call it Sonic Storm!
  • His V-skill can be his QCB+K move from Omega mode where he jumps over fireballs and dives into his opponent. Although it might be too similar to Chun’s.
  • Flash Explosion is the CA
  • Lastly, Guile is now a General after his success against Shadaloo and SIN. His appearance should change to reflect this.

I don’t really care about Guile I’d just like to hear the guile theme again.

Didn’t play much of him in the earlier games, but I’m looking forward to seeing him in SFV.

So basically you want SF4 Guile but buffed in every single way possible?

Lol not going to happen.

you know this is SFV bruh

the dream will remain as dream sadly

Did I say this is what is going to happen? I put down what I would like to happen, based on what Capcom themselves teased with Omega Mode Guile. Considering how ‘complete’ and pimped out all the returning cast members are, Guile receiving all the tools he was given in Omega Mode by Capcom in some capacity is not far fetched. In fact, it is the most likely scenario based on everything we know now.

I’ve been saying that for months, it’s 90% sure we are gonna get something close to Omega Guile, like they did with Ryu. In fact, I will be very surprised if Guile’s V-Skill isn’t Cold Blue Kick, because he already got this in Omega. It makes perfect sense like Daemos said, the character would keep his core play style and be a bit spiced up to make him more fun to play.

Guile will still be charge and defensive/zoning oriented, that’s for sure. Nash is already the offensive boom user. Guile is gonna borrow a lot of stuff from Remy like he did in omega, wait and see. Cr. fierce anti air juggling into flash kick would be awesome. Make it happen Capcom.

To add to the Omega Mode hints, Capcom has repurposed old character supers into new Ex moves for returning characters in SF5. So the idea of Capcom turning Sonic Hurricane for example into an Ex Sonic Boom isn’t without reason or precedence. Considering also what they did to Nash, Guile will end up being just as pimped out and like @kylebr said, will likely be the polar opposite - charge based, defensive/zoning monster.

You know they’re gonna change his fireball game up.

Charge and fast walkspeed are probably in just because they distinguish him from Nash, but I really doubt he’s keeping old-style sonic booms.

People are gonna bitch about how different Guile is. Guaranteed.
