The Basics

Bread and Butter Combos

These are Guile's main combo opportunities :

- J.Fierce ,c.Jab ,c.short ,Sonic Hurricane

- J.Fierce ,s.Fierce ,Sonic Boom ,->Fierce

- J.Fierce ,c.Jab ,c.Short ,level 2 Total Wipeout ,Flash Kick

You can do a c.Forward instead of the c.Jab and c.Short for more damage but therefore it's less hit-confirmable .

- cross-up j.Short ,c.Jab ,c.Jab ,c.short ,Sonic Hurricane

Corner Pressure

The Sonic Boom is very important in the corner .

It avoids wake-up attempts by the enemy (making Dragon Punches useless) and the quick recovery gives you enough time to do a jump-in so that you can follow up with a 2-in-1 (for example j.Fierce ,close Fierce ,Sonic Boom) .

If your enemy's guard is almost broken ,kick him with Guile's Roundhouse (now the guard is broken) and ...Sonic Hurricane .

Corner Mix-ups :

Due to Guile's minimal lag after throwing a Sonic Boom you can walk up to the enemy ,wait until his block stun is over and throw him .

Ticking was helpful in the old days of Street Fighter ...and it still is ...

Guile's far Roundhouse is good as well as his forward Fierce (though the charge gets lost) .

Throw a Sonic Boom .If your enemy is blocking high do a c.Forward .

Use Guile's long-range attacks .They will keep your opponent in his defensive state because he can't get close to you .

If your enemy rolls out try to hit him with c.Jab ,c.Jab ,c.Short (don't do it too fast ,you have to gain charge) ,Sonic Hurricane .

Custom Combos

First off all ,I would like to note that Guile shouldn't be played in A-Groove simply because he'd lack juggle opportunities in mid-stage if the Custom Combo mode was activated .

The only time he has A-groove activated should be in the corner :

- c.Roundhouse (to set up the juggle) ,s.Roundhouse ,

  c.Fierce ,Short Flash Kick ,c.Fierce ,Short Flash Kick ,c.Fierce ,Short Flash  
  
  Kick ,...
  
  ...when meter depletes ,Somersault Justice

 NOTE : Be sure to use CROUCHING Fierce ,not STANDING Fierce because the c.version     
        does more damage .

- close s.Roundhouse ,Sonic Boom ,Sonic Boom ,Sonic Boom ,...

  ...when meter depletes ,Somersault Justice

  You can also start with a Jab Sonic Boom (on the other side of the stage) ,
  high-jump towards the opponent ,activate CC mode in mid-air ,
  followed by a j.Roundhouse ,s.Roundhouse ,Sonic Boom over and over ,
  finished by a Somersault Justice .

  The damage is a lot higher but this setup is too unreliable (and too hard to pull
  off)
  in competitive play .

Advanced Strategy

Matchups

Shotos :

Their main weakness in this special fight (Guile vs shoto) is their bad recovery (compared to yours) after a thrown fireball .Exploit this weakness by using Guile's pokes .His pokes will probably get blocked but that's the key , not to break their guard but to pressure them hoping that they are going to throw out a Hadouken . They have to be too far away to do an anti-air or any other normal attack .They want to damage you and their only rang-attack (that's what they think) in such a situation is a FIREBALL .

Fireball fights shouldn't be a problem .Guile has got less lag . Do a forward Fierce or (if you're close enough) c.Roundhouse . It's also possible to roll .Then throw .

Try to avoid jump-ins ,they will get you with a Shoryuken or c.Fierce . The only time to ever jump-in is when they have been floored or after you have thrown a Sonic Boom . Jump-in with a cross-up move ,tick and back throw them so that they end up in the corner .

You have got better overall-range (another advantage you should exploit) .Guile's c.Forward is one of his best normals .

Beware of their Hurricane kicks .If they activate it at the right spot they will make you block (or not if it comes very unexpectedly) and they will also recover fast .Now you could get thrown or get hit by a sweep and it's their turn .
