wonder what warahk thinks about the possiblity of using super guile in AE.
also, what the hell would EVO do? super guile, cammy, honda etc v AE makoto and the twins?
i really wish AE update for console would allow you to chose which version of the character you want to play like anniversary edition. But i am sure its AE vs AE only. we are stuck with a bad version of guile still…:tdown:
Did you watch the video? It said: “AE users will be able to play SSFIV players without the DLC. Pick an choose your favorite version!”
I cried a little bit there. Even in the sea of very strong rushdown characters that is AE, I believe super Guile would be very good. I think the idea of doing what they did with SF2’s anniversary edition for SF4 really is the PERFECT solution for everyone. I don’t even care if they bring back vanilla Sagat and Ryu. I have faster boom charge and sonic hurricane now. Bring it.
The idea of anniversary style ‘Character Version’ selection is great, but I think for some characters (like Guile or Makoto), who in their right mind would pick the lesser version of the character 
In Anniversary it was like ok this version had these pokes and high damage but that version has tweaked normals and a Super. Maybe there’s some incentive to pick Vanilla Guile vs Super Guile… maybe… but if you put Super Guile against AE Guile it’s just wtf-no. All nerfs, nothing in return.
That being said I’d probably still pick AE Guile so it’s consistent with what I’m working with at the arcade. And people might say that picking Super Guile is ‘cheap’ but it’d be fun against like Vanilla Sagat and the other AE bad matchups.
fyi

SSFIVAE Trailer - Video

**
video & 2 screens regarding SSF4 vs SSF4AE trailer if the video also goes down. Pretty sure vanilla has too many differences, but it would be interesting.
I hope there’s icons to tell us what character version folks are playing, but I would still like balance updates for AE to give Guile safer rushdown options.

its funny that when the video says duke it out with the version you like best its guile in the screen. hahaha. I think it was capcom poking fun at all the guile nerfs lol.
yea lol I thought the same thing. And on top of it he’s doing Sonic Hurricane…
Thanks man! I’m very lucky.
I just found out about this, so happy =]. I was terrified of having to use AE guile (or yang) at evo. Feeling optimistic!
With the exception to Makoto and maybe DJ, most characters seemed to be better in Super than in AE. Guile is definitely one of them, no counter hit when throwing booms, better overall damage, better air throw vs slight buff to UDK…yeah I think I’ll go with super thanks. Essentially evo should call the tournament Super SF4 plus Ying Yang lol.
On a side note, I still need to deal with Super El Fuerte…sigh
You may be right actually. My excitement was premature.
Guys, hate to break it to you, but the balance changes are universal. Super Guile is done once the DLC drops, whether you buy it or not.
Yeah, I don’t think it will be Super Guile vs AE whoever. So you are saying that bascially once people download the AE patch, that even when they play Super they will be playing the AE version of the characters? That would make sense, but then the whole duke it out with whatever version you like best thing in the video doesn’t make sense.
I’m still guessing that all that meant is that you can still play Super against people who still have Super and AE against those who have AE with the update.
I don’t believe that is the case. Because that is completely opposite of what the trailer suggested.
Yes, exactly. It’s probably gonna be somewhere in the options where you can pick either Super or AE. There’s not gonna be any mixing and matching of Super Guile vs AE Yun or whatever.
The idea is cool, would be cooler if they also included original SF4 versions. But knowing how powerful Capcom trolling power is, I highly doubt this would happen.
If it is true, my preffered version is SF4. 120 damage St.hp x 2 combo is so godlike, it made zangief match up 5-5 in SF4 (exaggeration of course)
wat? Problem is, that was the only thing that Guile had that was better in Vanilla. If your preffered Guile is Vanilla, then you didn’t play enough Vanilla man! Think about the super buffs! Backfist range, U2, less gimp U1, boom charge time. I’ll take my 100dmg s.hp.
Truly, U1 was stupidly weak in Vanilla when it didn’t fully connect. Even though the damage never changed (I think?), moving most of the damage to the last kick made a big difference to U1’s practical damage output.
Wait a second. Clearly my_name_is_better has neglected the most crucial buff of them all…
DEM SHADES!!!11
Ya, I don’t think the damage was changed, just shifted to the last kick, which buffed every single combo that used it, since most practical combos were a juggle.
Also, it was one of the few ultras that weren’t nerfed in the transition to super… so that’s kind of a buff if you think about it. Almost every other ultra got a decent damage nerf.
Just chit-chat here though, it would be… neat, I guess, to see the Vanilla versions in, but for the most part they are just less optioned, yet super powered versions of their super selves. I wouldn’t mind too much. I will say, on the record for the umpteenth time, that vanilla Sagat vs. Guile is my LEAST favorite SF4 Guile matchup yet… but I think it would be much more balanced with Guile’s super buffs, especially U2. Same goes for Ryu.
No matter which version of which character though, Guile can’t beat a good Akuma. Well… have a good matchup anyways. I guess that’s good balance though!
I think I can say that all Guile users are cheering on for you. I know I am for sure. We need a great player like you to represent Guile. Team HORI is a monster of a team. Personally, I am glad that Tatsu is in your team after I’ve seen him beat you badly a couple of times in Wednesday Night Fights. His Claw is scary. That is now one less person you have to worry about facing in team matches :).
