  • Eagle-Man plays it safe. By birthright, he inherits incredible neutral and the best fireball in the game. But is that enough in a game like EXA? Time will tell.

This is the risk that keeps EXA's Guile in check.

  • When Guile gets Counter Hit out of his Guard Break, he's thrown off axis for an entire combo and eats a free unblockable meaty.
  • Outside of throws (Which can be Crouch Teched) Guard Break is one of Guile's only real mix-ups.
  • When you commit, the entire round hangs in the balance. Guile straight up dies if this doesn't work.

The Basics

It's Guile.

Despite having the fastest projectile recovery in the game, EXA Guile doesn't typically zone his opponents from fullscreen. Consider SFEX fireballs an augment to the footsie game instead.

  • Expect to play a stunningly active Guile if you want to win consistently. Look for every chance you can to land Air Throw and run a mixup afterward.
  • Kara 2LK Sonic Boom is very good.
