just recently i decided to start playing pretty much nothing but Guile in ST. i’m getting my butt handed to me left and right 'cause i’m not very good, but i feel like i’m improving quite a bit. he’s hard to use well in ST compared to other versions, i think - probably because there’s just so much more to deal with - but i think he’s worth mastering.
i’m gonna stay tuned to this thread and maybe use it to track my progress a bit if i find any interesting strategies i like.
What N. Guile has over O.Guile is the throw softening and the super move, as well as being able to move around with his s.forward. O. Guile has his s.Roundhouse as an anti-air and can charge while still rapidly pressing s.short. I’m not sure if O.Guile does more damage than N.Guile, but overall, N.Guile seems to be more effective, especially with the j.short cross-ups.
It does suck compared to the other supers, but you can use it for chip if the opponent is on low life, or as a reversal. You can combo it in as well from a cross up j.short.
i find it’s pretty good in reaction to projectiles if you’re close enough to flash kick over them normally…definitely not one of the better supers in the game, though. as anti-air it’s alright, better when you have them jumping out of the corner - but there’s a weird delay on it that takes some getting used to…
Maybe this is not as beneficial to this game (someone tell me) but you can do sonics boom charge back, foward, back, punch. You would be already charging another sonic boom, can be done for the flash kick too, charge back, foward, down foward, down, punch.
I heard mention that his best throw is strong, why is that so, more range?
Any thows setups that one should know with guile?
And im having some difficulty aggaints fireballs characters. Usually the ones that don’t have one I do well, since they have to come to me. But the ones with fireballs I don’t seem to be able to maintaing their fireball pace. I try to get closer with some hop kicks and safe jump fireballs but it work only when at distance. Any tips will be apreciated.
I discover a very easy input to make the super. I only test it on anniversary.
Charge db,df,ub. Super easy and very fast to do. I used to have problem with it but know I never mess up Even tought the super is not very useful, its fill up very fast and even if you don’t get to use it your oponnet have to reconsider some of his options just for the fact of having it.
Looking at the game data from T.Akiba (thanks, NKI, for the translation!), it doesn’t list his ground throws as separate in either damage or range, so I assume they’re the same in that respect. I don’t know if there’s some other reason for using the Strong throw like tossing the opponent farther or if people just do it because they think it looks cooler or something.
That’s very cool, anyone know if it works in the arcade too? I won’t be able to test it myself for about a week or so.
Yeah, I think the only benefits of strong is that it throw farther away.
And the special input can be done with vega too, of course aniversary im talking about.
