It must be boring as fuck to play Guile.
It must be boring as fuck to be ignorant
Well I think it also depends on the matchup. If I play balrog I don’t mind guile that much but if I play Dudley I hate guile. If I see a ryu lose against Guile I lol so yeah, its the matchup!
Nope, actually it’s pretty amazing. You should join the club.
Guile’s not half as brain dead as he used to be in SFII, I actually have to think about what I’m doing now…
muteki is awesome. guile isnt though, i cant stand super turtles. beating a good guile is a pain in the ass because they have way less work cut out for them. characters who have to work way less = cheap, and guile is pretty much the cheapest character in super. add the fact that turling really helps guile, and we got a real bitch here. his sb should be less safe and have more lag after it shoots imo, and his crouching hp should trade way more often, but that also goes sor sakuras and rogs and some other characters normal aa’s. worst part about sf are the way too damn good normal aa’s in the game, one of the reasons why turtling is soo damn effective in sf in the first place.
I thought many characters had good AA normals and specials to, you know, stop the opponent from jumping around freely.
Also, since when did AA normals made SF turtling fest? It made it more ground based, thats for sure, but turtling?
Besides, Guile is sonic boom and normals in a nutshell. If one of these elements is slightly nerfed, he falls apart like in Alpha 3 and somehow in SF4.
so its not like they can make him more effective by changing him and giving him new moves instead of keeping him a turtle?
But then he wouldn’t be Guile anymore…
Might as well make a new character.
Guile should have an option to change the direction of his sonic hurracane, just like blanka. No-one will be cross up guile with u2
although I don’t use the sonic hurricane ultra I have to agree with you on this but i also think his flash kick should have more advantage against cross-ups at least… but what really urks me is when i win a match and im called a scrub because i either (to them) used sonic booms or flash kicked them when they got close or I caught them after a move that left them open… I mean really complain to capcom about this they’re the ones that gave him only 2 main moves.
bottom line guile gets no love… if you play too defensively you’re a turtle but if you’re too aggressive you’re spamming too much booms or kicks.
don’t matter to me none I will still use him!
Well, my main is DAN, IMHO most of turtling Guile are not that good, I only happened to fight 2 decent turtling guile, and only one that can do 1 frame combo (crouch LP LP MP flash kick ->FADC -> ultra) flawlessly. Before you ask, I got shining C trophy so I have fought lots of Guile online.
Funny thing is, when fighting turtle Guile, if I have lots of life lead, i stayed back and taunt them to the death, if they throw sonic boom, i just jump and taunt , and they got irritated and try to play rush down, but of course, they lose… and a guy send me hatemail “taunt more you scrub” , and i said “I only taunt turtler, and you fell for it”.
Playing turtling IMO is boring, where’s the fun when every match, all you do is running away and holding back all the time? I main guile in all SF 2, and occasionaly use him in SSF IV, I can say that my Guile’s playstyle is 70% rushing, 30% defense, try to corner the opponent, and never let them escape at the corner.
It doesn’t sound like you know what turtling is.
Guile has always been a lame ass character.
Sonic Boom!
OH you jumped in?
Crouch Fierce.
Sonic Boom!
Sonic Boom!
Sonic Boom!
Dont jump bro
Sonic Boom
FLASH KICK - I said dont jump bro
Sonic Boom
Sonic Boom
-Mix up- Walk forward backfist.
He’s always been like this since ST.
Guile is being a lame ass character. It’s what he does. What he always has done, and what he always should do.
are you mad?
turtling = waiting, just waiting for enemy to jump in or make mistake
well, mostly turtle Guile player will be offended if people tell them “you turtling”, they prefer “zoning”, and i know the difference.
but people who can only stay at the corner throw sonic boom and escape is not zoning, it just happened that guile have spam-able projectile
too bad our location is too far, I’d love to fight your “zoning” guile all the time
@simpleKiss
you forget to mention his magical air throw he have since Super SF IV
Guile is one of the most difficult fighters to deal with because of lack of moves, anybody that that thinks he’s weak or lame may get beat by him often (not to offend) he’s difficult because…
cons
- he’s one of the easiest fighters to cross-up
- lack of moves
- easily punishable after certain moves
- some of his combos are very hard to link
- Guile has a glass jaw (easy dizzy)
- most low rank fighter tend to be too defensive and are called a turtle, but if an aggressive guile fights and win then he uses the same moves too much.
pros
- his damage is still great (despite the update lol)
- fastest ex fireball in the game
- multiple pokes (i don’t know why some people call these pokes “moves” to me its not a move its a strategy.)
- useful air throw @damianz I laugh at what you call “his magical air throw” lets see
chun-li, cammy, el fuerte have air throws now you want a magical air throw look at Guy’s flip throw INCREDIBLE RANGE lol now that’s magical.
im sure that im missing things when it comes to both pro and cons…
Like I said not to offend but people that complain about guile shouldn’t complain to the player that use them, instead complain to capcom for it was them that created guile’s move list.
i hate guile match up…he is the best turtle in the game!
Yes, but Guy air throw is command throw (qcf + P) it’s not as easy + fast as just press LP + LK
for normal air throw, I think Guile air throw is the best one, It almost never lose, beat most moves , it even grab T Hawk condor dive! Hakan’s air throw is pretty good too, for other, they are decent, but not as “magical” as Guile in priority
and for pros, you forget that he got lot of good normal move, like far standing HP, crouch HP, crouch MK, standing HK, forward + HP, forward MK, forward LK and pretty fast overhead
just my opinion
@blindfOldmeeh
i feel your pain, turtling Guile is nightmare for Hakan, Makoto, Gen, and Dan
Guile isn’t cheap. Just a really solid character.
ah yes i did forget the beautiful 2 medium piece chicken combo he does lol guile is the master of poking.
