The Guile Thread

im liking guile but i havent played anyone good yet. I just been fooling with him online (Guile/Gief). A lot of time outs. People dont seem to know how to get around zoning. I will grade guile better once I play some good players

Definitely agree that guile is good at wearing people down.

As far as air to air goes, do you guys generally air throw or try to get the counter hit?
Landing the back throw is definitely awesome but is it better to just try and get counter hit into combo?
Also whats guile’s best air to air normal?

whenever I go air to air with Guile I usually lose. I mostly use j.hk tho, and hardly ever get an air throw. Seems like its no longer as good as it was in SFIV

the air throws certainly aren’t as strong as sf4, but they do pay the bills. his air-to-air options haven’t really changed much:

lp, mp, hp, and mk are solid aa’s when jumping toward.
mp and mk for jumping away
mp, hp, mk, and hk for neutral

I actually find jump back HK to be his best jumping anti air. That little tip on the end of his boot has caught so many Jins,Kazuyas and Heihachis jumping in on me. I think jump back fierce was the go to air to air in SF4 but this time rounhouse is better imo.

Thanks for the “tip” this has been working very well.

I started doing this on accident, and when it does work it’s awesome. Most of the time they’ll continue jumping after you, at which point a cr.hp seems to shine.

what gem setups u guys use for guile!??
so far i have just been using all fortitude gems on him, is even the onslaught gems worth it for him!??

I like to use two defensive gems (since Guile has less than average health) and a meter building one. I equip my tag partner - Bison - with three meter building gems.

i always play with my brother and I play on point with guile. Both of us use gems that activate when I launch him in. I usually use a mix of meter building gems and attack gems.

I use 2 fortitude gems, and 1 defense with him on point. I find the most basic ones work the best for me, as they always seem to activate, whether I’m losing or winning a match.

Onslaught gems.

Is anyone here actually finding any uses for cr.hp, I’ve pretty much eliminated it from my game, but I haven’t experimented that much

Anti air, airman! That and standing MP.

There must be some new timing then that I just can’t grasp. I’m just taking feet to my face

It is NOT as good, and there’s not any great follow-up either. But it is still cr.hp. Most times when I hit someone with it, they immediately jump in again!

Yeah I still use cr.hp. You have to hit them very high in the air to get a follow up though.

I REALLY hate how Guile yells “BILLY!!!” when he does the flash kick or sonic boom sometimes. Sheesh.

He says “Hella easy!”

Guile’s from the Bay nigga…

Thats what he says?! I never knew. I thought it always sounded like “Bell Easy” but then I don’t know why he’d be saying that. I’m assuming were talking about Japanese voice Guile.
