Street Fighter Alpha 3/Guy/Introduction

Introduction

Underpass, USA The modern-day ninja chose to investigate Shadaloo and its activities after Guy's master Zeku (and Karin, after an encounter) had stated that the forces of Bushinryu will rise from the shadows to protect the world, believing that they were referring to Shadaloo.

Pros	Cons
Good mobility - Fast walk speed, and his bushin run/flip let you get around the screen quickly Good reach and priority with grounded normals Slide in general is incredibly safe and oppressive against many characters Can combo into flip grab off counter-hit anti-airs, making it risky to jump at him Fantastic air grab that does full damage on tech Air elbow (air d. MP) lets him change his jump trajectory Insane burst damage potential with bushin chain and juggles off level 3 kick super. Potentially round ending once it lands and can be confirmed into from a variety of ranges/situations Bushin chain does a lot of damage and leaves the opponent in an untechable state Gets huge mileage off walk cancelling from air elbow, depending on distance to the corner. Sometimes 50% damage or more, including stun afterwards Shoulder is a strong anti-projectile option Great corner escape with wall jump and flip Is able to combo after his kick throw, mid screen and in the corner One of the most damaging meterless tech roll punishes in the game with close LK into bushin chain Unusually thin hurtbox makes him difficult to cross-up.	Reversal tatsu runs out of i-frames before the actual hit frames and loses to delayed normals Needs 3 bars to really be scary on the ground Awkward, floaty jump Anti-airs are inconsistent in some match-ups Bushin chain only hits on standing or very tall opponents High execution requirement: Picky timing on Bushin chains/juggles, proximity cancels, etc Shoulder only combos reliably off close normals unlike A2 Thin hurtbox makes him awkward to cross-up Alpha counter is not the best and sometimes whiffs on moves with low hurtboxes V-ISM options are jank and unreliable, making A-ISM a better option with his amazing supers
