Ya, normally I’d agree with you, but the backfist doesn’t actually combo on chun in that scenario. Check out the third post of the combo thread. You are right though, it does work on most of the cast and is normally not worth it to use EX boom. because of backfist’s versatility.
i usually go for fadc sweep, instead of ex boom. or both!
at the moment i think when played perfectly guile has advantage now. she gets messed up in the fireball war, and she’s worse than bison at getting in imo. if you had time to block hasanshu, then you had time to focus dash through it and combo
Not sure if this is noted elsewhere:
if the opponent is crouching, the only way to force him/her to have a standing hit stun is close s.hp or c.hp.
This is quite important when it comes to ending a combo with backfist.

New Super Street Fighter 4 tier lists from Mago and Nemo : News : EventHubs.com
Mago and Nemo both put Guile in high A tier. That’s four lists from high-level/expert players where he’s considered top-tier. When it came out, I definitely knew he was a lot better after 10 minutes of play. But after a good two months with the game I have to concur, though. He’s just gross now and possibly the strongest Guile incarnation yet. SB, poke game, air throw, normals and U2 are just too good. Sure, still has bad matches but they’re hardly unwinnable. Looks like our dedication in Vanilla paid off 
Now you’re making me feel guilty cuz i didnt play Guile in vanilla.
Hi. I am new to super street fighter IV but played street fighter II back in the day. I will admit i am a noob at playing with guile, I am a C Rank on Xbox Live, but he is my most productive character. I get flamed a lot for playing turtle on live and was wondering is there a better more aggressive approach to playing with Guile. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The most aggressive approach to playing with Guile that you can take is to PLAY HIM HOWEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT AND NOT WORRY WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS
I mean, what’s more aggressive than that?
^^ LOL this. Personally the best Guiles IMHO learn to play offensive and defensive. He obviously leans more on the defensive but has a very solid poke/aggression game in the right hands. But if you’re scoring wins, who the fuck are they to bitch? If they could back it up they wouldn’t be in the position to QQ in the first place.
heh.
There’s a more aggressive style which, imo, is generally not better.
Thanks for your input guys. I am trying to learn new combos and am still against the wall with SB cancels…i can do them 75% of the time but i can FK cancel anytime. I am trying to learn these so i don’t play so basic.
Defensive Guiles win more matches
Sometimes playing basic is the best way to go.
I dunno World Warrior Guile was god tier.
The only way to make the best use of a 100% defensive Guile is to tech the hell out of grabs. Getting crossed up all of the time when in defensive mode makes for a frustrating match.
You’re only saying that because you dont know how to get out of crossups.
Yes, I have difficulty with it tremendously. I also have issues teching throws after crossups as well. I’m not hiding that, so I don’t know why you felt the need to point it out.
I said this because their are many ways to get out of crossups, but you dont think so because you dont know how.
Yeah, for the most part. Focus Attack dashing worked for a little while and sometimes autocorrecting Flash Kicks work. I mean, I have no intention to jam on jab on wake up to stop something from happening. I’d like to actually get better at it. I’m not quite sure what to do besides the things I already mentioned. I’m decent at blocking, but that usually leads to a throw, which I can never seem to tech in time to stop.
Thread got deleted… so i thought i’d post this in here. help would be GREATLY appricaited 
Couple good questions about Guile
- What has more range? close + hard kick or forward + hard punch ??
- What is the actual charge time for his sonic boom?
- What's his most damaging combo off like say off a whiffed SRK at close range?
- Which anti-air attack is best on jump-ins? back + medium punch or crouch hard punch ??
- Which is his best air-2air? jumping medium kick or jumping hard kick ?
- Who are some of Guile's worst match-ups?
- What are some common mistakes most make with Guile
- What is usually overlooked by Guile players? (a player not doing something he/she should with Guile.
