Guile General Discussion: Go home and be a family man

Eh its better than Alexs premium costume atleast.

In black it might look okay haha.

I donā€™t think thatā€™s such a big deal, since blocked divekicks are fairly bad on block. Of course some of your AAs will miss, but thatā€™s just how divekicks work. Also, if you know people are going to jump but are unsure if theyā€™re gonna divekick or not, you can usually just air-to-air them, or even better: airgrab them.

Nash strikes me as the problem matchup, for the same reason Rose was hard in SF4. Any character that can sit back and force Guile to be the offensive character, and also has the tools to take advantage of that, is going to be a struggle.

I donā€™t like that costume by the look of the picture but maybe it looks better in motion and with a different colour. I was hoping for a costume with him rocking an air force bomber jacket and shades though.

Yep I think Nash is going to be a problem. I do think Guile will be able to hold his own against him better than some characters though.

Iā€™m very curious about matches with the other more defensive characters like Fang and Dhalsim. I currently donā€™t really see any matches that heā€™s obviously going to really struggle in, which is good. I think thereā€™s a few characters which have the ability to stun him fast once they get a knockdown, so I think thatā€™s where his weakness is. Chun being good in this game bodes well for Guile too imo.

I think we all canā€™t wait to have our character back.

I donā€™t have too many worries about Nash. Maybe I just havenā€™t come across a really good one yet, all of the gold ones arenā€™t usually too scary. But I feel that Guile wins the fireball game especially with his V skill and hopefully the booms will have enough recovery to be able to block Nashā€™s ā€œjaguar kickā€ or whatever itā€™s called.

So I think Nash will be the one who is forced to get in, because thatā€™s how he does most damage anyway.

Also, his FK will be on point for anti-airing those random ā€œJaguar Kicksā€ when you have down charge.

Why would Guile have to come to Nash? He canā€™t absorb twice-hitting projectiles, can he?

Whatā€™s him premium alt supposed to be? A janitor?

A flight suit.

Because Nash will meet the 2 hit boom with a sonic boom of his own, and then Vskill the other. Weā€™ll have to be in range to backfist the V-skill.

Ryu will do the same except weā€™ll have to be wary of YOLO DP after his parry

Interested in trying guile out, he was my main in sf4 for a long while.

Be sure to jump in the Guile discord. Itā€™s very active right now, hoping to keep it that way after release.

So funny that Guileā€™s first name is William. I like it.

6 hours from now until Guile gets added right?

I feel like if Guile has any potential problem matchups itā€™ll be one of these. Besides maybe a high pressure close character like Ken or Necalli.

Ken might be a problem, but Necalli cant just do buttons into stomp for free - the stomp is a projectile and flashkick beats projectiles. His pressure isnt all that real. Granted we have to take risks, but so does he.

Plus our neutral buttons will be significantly better than Necalli I believe.

I can see V-Triggered Ken and V-Triggered Necalli being problematic. Ken because of that divekick, but more so Necalli because the anti-projectile tools he has are crazy. CA is Rolling Thunder-tier, V-Triggered EX Slash absorbs two projectile hits, and his V-Skill will stop you from spamming V-Skill boosted booms.

Watching Dantarionā€™s hacked Guile and he looks really strong. Canā€™t wait until 7.

In the corner, you can do, cr.mp, v-trigger booms, cr.mp, normal boom, super.
