Street Fighter 6/Guile/Introduction: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:19, 16 June 2023

Introduction

A US Air Force pilot who fights for his country, Guile succeeded in dismantling Shadaloo and avenging his friend Charlie. He enjoys living the family man life, but new battlefields await him.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Projectile Zoning: Sonic Boom recovers lighting fast. If he has time to set up Sonic Blade or Lv.2 Super, he becomes almost unbeatable in fireball wars. Many characters' anti-projectile options are simply not practical against Guile.
Anti-Airs: Somersault Kick has a great hitbox with anti-air invincibility, easily punishing anyone trying to get around his zoning. 2HP is also a consistent option when he lacks charge.
Drive Gauge Pressure: Guile has many mid-range pokes with great hitboxes for harassing the opponent on block. The pushback makes them difficult to contest even if they have frame disadvantage. Combined with constant Sonic Boom pressure, the opponent can easily be put into Burnout. This will force opponents to hoard their Drive meter, or take more risks to prevent you from whittling down their resources.

N/A: Guile has no major weaknesses that aren't shared amongst the cast or other charge characters.

 * '''Projectile Zoning:''' Sonic Boom recovers lighting fast. If he has time to set up Sonic Blade or Lv.2 Super, he becomes almost unbeatable in fireball wars. Many characters' anti-projectile options are simply not practical against Guile.
 * '''Anti-Airs''': Somersault Kick has a great hitbox with anti-air invincibility, easily punishing anyone trying to get around his zoning. 2HP is also a consistent option when he lacks charge.
 * '''Drive Gauge Pressure''': Guile has many mid-range pokes with great hitboxes for harassing the opponent on block. The pushback makes them difficult to contest even if they have frame disadvantage. Combined with constant Sonic Boom pressure, the opponent can easily be put into Burnout. This will force opponents to hoard their Drive meter, or take more risks to prevent you from whittling down their resources.
-* '''Straightforward:''' Guile's zoning hasn't fundamentally changed since 1991. Baiting impatient players into your anti-airs is a simple, but effective gameplan. If that doesn't work, Guile can tap into system mechanics like Drive Rush just as well as anyone else.
 | cons=
-* '''Slow:''' His walk and dash speeds are below average, restricting his gameplan a little.
+* '''N/A:''' Guile has no major weaknesses that aren't shared amongst the cast or other charge characters.
-* '''Charge Reliant:''' Guile relies on his charge inputs more than any other character in the game. Without them, he is relatively nonthreatening. It can be difficult to make your movement and ranges unpredictable when your charge constantly needs to be maintained.
-* '''Predictable''': Because Guile's overall strategy remains unchanged from previous SF games, opponents will be expecting you to try outzoning them and will plan accordingly. Be extremely careful and conservative with using Somersault Kick, as opponents will try their best to bait it out to get a huge Punish Counter. Opponents will often try to test your patience just as much as you will be trying to test theirs.
