Support NeoGAF

[Diprosalic]

Well, next is balrog...

at least there is a chance they make him non-charge.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I've been saving my fight money for him.

 

[lucebuce12]

Please God no.

I'm actually happy with how they developed his character and don't want him to go back to being pathetic and petty.

They're not going to make Sagat a part of Shadaloo again, his story progression from 4 will be continued.

That stage is already in the game and you can see it in FANGs story line when he encounters Bison for the first time. It happens back when Sagat was still a part of Shadaloo.

If Sagat does make it in, I'm guessing his classic Thailand stage will be his accompanying stage.

 

[mollipen]

You have been blessed with a legit ass character. Why do you hate?

I know how in the minority I am, but I really can't stand the SF2 cast for the most part. The slight redesigns are helping some, but I really wish it wasn't inevitable that they'd all end up coming back. Maybe we could just not have Guile, you know? Maybe Akuma doesn't have to return. I know why that won't happen, but it still makes me sad.

SFV feels like it's own thing right now, and I love it for that. Soon enough, though, it'll be "SF2 and friends" once again. I wish I could have had the initial 16 roster for longer than I did, even if that means I don't get the characters I'm missing either. There's something great about small-roster fighters that I think gets lost over time. But, I know, I'm a weirdo on that as well. I was perfectly fine with 20-character KOF XII, and that's practically heresy.

I think it's also selfish, because I know the more characters that are added to the game, the more I'll be pushed away from having any chance to be at least somewhat good at it.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Ha, looks like someone had a trigger-finger.

More info coming very shortly - keep an eye on Capcom Unity.

You'd better drop a trailer.

I swear to god bacon don't do this to me.

 

[Luq]

Actually looks awesome. Can't wait to try him out

Spoiler

only to find out I cant play him at all

 

[Skilletor]

Please God no.

I'm actually happy with how they developed his character and don't want him to go back to being pathetic and petty.

It's a story mode stage, isn't it? Means that the stage was built when Sagat was part of the four kings, not that he's still one of them.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Can't wait for June and mostly July! I'm sad Juri will miss EVO though .

Yeah was hoping she would be there for that.

 

[deadscreensky]

Please God no.

The stage is already in the game's story mode. It's kind of a neat variation, an extra little detail in a game that's honestly otherwise lacking that sort of polish.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Guile working as a flight attendant.

 

[Megawarrior]

Will be interesting to see just how different he is from Nash.

 

[GodParticle]

I just hope his flash kick is godly. Love the throwback stage

Trailer or nah?

Those shades give him a 1 face look

Love the throwback stage.

Yeah I dunno, especially when they're doing a pretty good job of giving them some character design changes and/or moveset changes. I like a mostly new cast too, but the SF2 cast is beloved due to the very different playstyles and their iconic designs. Having Guile back soon makes tons of sense since there's not many zoning characters in SF5 right now.

EDIT:

V-Trigger: Solid Puncher



Guile powers up and tosses out continuous Sonic Booms! Each button throws a Sonic Boom at a different speed, so mixing up between buttons can create interesting Sonic Boom sequences. Depending on the sequence used, this can act as a great combo extender, be used to overwhelm opponents or easily push his opponents to the corner.



LOL HOLY SHIT, new main confirmed

Also totally thought Sonic Hurricane was gonna be his Critical Art, sweet

OH MYGOODDDD

 

[sixteen-bit]

Reading the Blog post, Guile sounds rad.

 

[Blackquill]

Looks sick

 

[a3den]

He also now has the ability to enter a crouch walk state called Faultless Move which allows him to keep his charge while moving forward

no pls capcom don't

 

[deadscreensky]

Sounds like cool gameplay changes for him. SF5 has been on point with updating characters.

I did expect a lot more feature improvements, though. Where are the challenges? Weren't those supposed to be shortly after launch?

 

[vg260]

This stage will be available in the Shop for 70,000FM. Season Pass holders will receive this stage for free as a thank you for supporting Street Fighter V

Season pass paying off.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Aww no content this month.

Oh well.

And that new RQ system is a great idea. Lock those boys out.

 

[mnz]

"Guile will be available for free later this month to all players until the Zenny shop launches"

So like Alex.

"This stage will be available in the Shop for 70,000FM."

That's...a lot.

WTF

 

[Momentary]

Like that he's wearing his dress uniform now. I think the USAF have sinfully ugly uniforms, but Guile makes it look good.

Guile sounds.....kinda hype actually.

The april update sounds pretty great too. Faster matchmaking and a rage quit system would monumentally improve the online experience.

 

[Asd202]

March = Alex
April = Guile
May = Balrog / Boxer
June = Story Mode
July = Ibuki
August = Juri
September = Urien

Fuck

 

[nikos]

Looking really good.

 

[GodParticle]

Surprised he wasn't a july 4 release. Would have been hilarious

 

[vg260]

The RQ lockout system is good, but do you still get fight money if the opponent quits?

 

[pizzacat]

So Guile gets a stage but Alex didn't?

There's literally a stage where he just sits there 24/7 unless he's fighting in it

 

[Teknopathetic]

Bison/Guile matchup looks like it will still be raw ass. Probably worse.

*knocks on door

"Hello ladies. I'm here about a noise complaint."

"I'm sorry officer! We'll keep it down."

"Oh no. You don't understand. The problem is there's not enough SONIC BOOMS!"

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It's one of those deets you easily miss (that hairdo gets all the attention), had 'em all the way back from Street Fighter 2

Oh, I know he has the flag tattooed since SF2 but what I'm asking is if he has two tattoos of the flag. I always thought it was one tattoo.

 

[Alucrid]

is he gonna release in april ? seems very unlikely to me.

no information: is he gonna release in april ? seems very unlikely to me.

"Oh, I know he has the flag tattooed since SF2 but what I'm asking is if he has two tattoos of the flag. I always thought it was one tattoo."


He has two in SF4, partially as a homage to the sprite mirroring in SF2.

surprised there's no update on Zenny shop

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I wish I could have had the initial 16 roster for longer than I did, even if that means I don't get the characters I'm missing either. There's something great about small-roster fighters that I think gets lost over time.

I can see that

 

[Endo Punk]

I sure hope Capcom haven't fixed/implemented their Zenny option this update so we can play Guile for free. Saving my fight money for Ibuki, Juri and Urien.

 

[Berordn]

surprised there's no update on Zenny shop

Starting to wonder if Alex is just going to be free forever at this rate.

 

[Dremark]

Well it's in the game already, might as well use it

Was that from a flashback in story mode or something? I don't really have an issue with the stage itself as long as they don't revert his character.

 

[New002]

I'm pretty hype. I assume the bracelets are related to his v-trigger. Sonic handcuffs?

My first thought as well. A nod to the old Guile handcuffs glitch??

 

[lucebuce12]

surprised there's no update on Zenny shop

"Guile will be available for free later this month to all players until the Zenny shop launches and will receive his own set of Trials and Character Story. His Battle Costume will be available for free to all Season Pass holders as well."

So most likely they themselves don't know when they'll have the infrastructure up and ready.
