Guile thread

I wish I could subscribe to Raisin posts.

me too =]

I’ve been schooled, thank you Raisin, but I was just saying what had been said in the random trivia thread on these boards. ^^;

great post guys guile all day!!!

Word. I wish I got to play against him when Schaefer shortly came out of retirement(I faced him after he beat daigo at FFA), I got to play against Thomas Osaki at 2k2 though but not against his guile.

If anyone’s interested in seeing it, Valle showed up on 2df the other day and played a set with me Guile vs Ken. Ive never played a ken that gave me such a hard time… well, it was pretty even, but that makes me wonder how it would go to play his Ryu or O Sagat.

I’m a bit undecided about whether going for crossups against ken is worthwhile. If he blocks the crossup you put yourself in a bad spot because if you do low strong afterwards and then he dragon punches, he’s safe. So you put yourself right in his comfort zone. Going for low short combos kind of works, but its really hard to directly combo the low short on shotos after the crossup, and if youre playing Valle, he’s often going to reversal dp there. It might be better to just play a really boring style against ken and do nothing but sonic booms basically…

Another annoying thing he would do alot is dp after whiffing sweeps. So if you try to low forward his sweep, you are punished badly if you mistime it. He also had a bunch of really good setups where he would sweep from long distances at a time where it was “obvious” I was going to do a low forward (which would then get beaten). Typically if he guessed wrong he wouldnt get punished anyway from these ranges.

Anyway its a pretty entertaining set so go take a look.

…lol, you just got baited. adjust, son!

Yeah his new Ken is tough, I beat him 3 out of like 8 matches, but then about 30 min later we had more games and he brought out old ken, and it was ultra difficult , I could not even touch him…the guy never fell for my watson like fake outs(old guile). Trust me man, if you think his new ken it hard try facing against his old ken before you even think of playing his ryu.

Btw can you please post those on to youtube? The computer admin at my will not take the fire wall so I cant install anything(My only web usage).

how???

st.Foward right??? I mean your talking about Guile hopping over the low tiger with that move right? Or are you asking something else?

nice guile matches =)

Even though this is irelevent to this thread I am posting this just cause I thinks its a really cool kick ass 80’s movie and I think Capcom molded Guile off of this guy from this movie. 2 things I picked up from this movie is that he does guiles jump foward kick in this clip and later he does that neutral close standing roundhouse from SF2 through a truck window. Lol that explains why it looks like Guile is holding onto something when he does that old kick:

yeah he’s asking about the s.forward hopping over the low tiger…

in ST he can still do it; it just takes impeccable timing like the guy in that video showed.

there’s a classic video of kurahashi vs. choi doing the same thing somewhere on youtube.

anyone have any stats vs honda and T.hawk for some reason those chars throw me for a loop…

Since you guys were talking about airthrows, I thought you guys could put this to use.

Looks like it isn’t to impractical to use in a real match by baiting DP’s but I’ll let you Guile pros figure it out if it can be used or not.

I love to play that bait game, but its easier said than done during the heat of the moment.

yeah I really dont see how to make that practical. The main situation I guess would be crossup-> long strong-> bait dp -> airthrow. But in that situation you can just do low strong -> flashkick, and the airthrow is techable. I think its just useful when you want to show off (a role which it fills quite well :P)

Oh I don’t know guys but I’m a sucker for wake up DP’s. Knock me down and bet 100 dlls that I’ll do a wake up DP even if you are a full screen away :rofl:

I was thinking maybe after an AA flash kick -----> walk forward and get into postion ( same as vid ) and wait for the DP. There was also a part on the vid where the Shoto put HIMSELF into position after he whiffed a DP and the imedieatly does another ( something Shoto players do A LOT ).

But ehhh…you guys say it isn’t practical, then I’ll take your word for it.

Yeah I only made use of that flashy tactic with CE Guile in AE since they can’t tech my throws hehe…its too bad AE is not ever going to be in EVO again:sad:

Hey guys, I’ve recently started playing guile on GGPO and hes pretty fun. But what I’m having problems with is what to do vs dic players. After headstomps it seems like they’re perfectly safe. Are there any tips with this match up?
