Is spamming sonic booms acceptable etiquette?

If they have life lead why should he risk it by getting close to you? most characters have means of getting around projectiles (rolls, slides, hurricane kicks, teleport). Even a simple FADC dash works if you time it right.

22

is creating a new thread for every idle thought acceptable etiquette?

23

i’m not saying it should never be used, i’m just saying that for a player to basically hide behind the sonic boom the entire game is very annoying.

cody is my main player.

24

you’re right. we should only talk about things you’re interested in or questions that you have.

25

while your articulation is superb, your reading comprehension is not.

i’m not saying they shouldn’t be using a sonic boom, i was just asking if always having a sonic boom on screen part of guile’s game.

26

yes it is.

4/5 zangiefs will try to throw you when they get close to you too. it sucks.

edit: wtf this guys join date is 06… this has to be a troll thread…

27

i’m ok with zangiefs, thawks and abels throwing because they need to work to get in close enough for that. i just get annoyed that a lot of the guile players i play do nothing but hide behind a sonic boom.

my post count is also < 20 i think.

28

my point is that gief throws. and guile sonic booms. thats the gameplan.

29

Yeah, that pretty cleanly sums it up. booms force the other person to do something. No reason not to have them out there at all non-stupid times.

30

If it annoys you then it definitively does the job.

31

i see. alrighty then.

32

Obvious troll is obvious?

Or, most popular Guile thread is re-posted?

4/5 vegas will “abuse” wall dive
4/5 sagats will abuse tiger knee and tiger shot
4/5 ryus and akumas will abuse fireballs
4/5 kens will abuse uppercuts

…
Close thread. :-/

33

you just mad cuz i’m stylin on you

34

Sonic Boom is very important to Guile’s gameplan, especially if you like to go on the offense cus he can set up combos with it.

35

The only reason people spam things is because other people aren’t good enough to beat it. A “pro” Guile player will spam booms at you until you learn how to beat it too. Why not? It takes no thought and it’s the easiest way to win.

36

Ok then think of it this way. Grapplers are rewarded with throws for making the journey inside, so what are you rewarded with for making it through Guile’s comfort zone? You probably (Dependent on character) get to mix him up and harass him all day, because generally Guile in your face isn’t scary and neither is Guile on the floor.

37

Please come to norcal and tell everyone this, PLEASE.

38

last time I checked guile only has 2 moves…?

am I wrong?

if ryu had only 2 moves
hadoken or srk
…
and was charge…
what would you do?

For me, the whole point of spamming SB’s is to get the other person used to the idea that I’m going to throw out a boom. When they get comfortable with that idea, I am now in a position to counter them when they try to get in.

SB’s are a keep away mindgame but if the Guile is getting predictable with the booms, all you really need to do is get in once and punish him badly for it and then just stay away. If he’s going to sit there and throw booms, you should sit there on your life lead and dodge them. Thats the way I play Guile at least. I’d rather keep you at mid range and kick you around but if you start running away and throwing plasma, hell, I can play that game too. I’m freaking Guile. All you need is patiance and see if you can’t tick off Guile enough to get him closer to you. All you need is one solid knockdown and then Guile is open to your crossups, of which Cody has plenty options on both ends.

No such thing as unacceptable sure people may not like it but you do what you have to do to get that W, it’s that simple.
