lol...do his biceps get larger?

LOL this was my first reaction.

I was like did he just Hulk out?

 

[Neoxon]

If you look closely at the Sonic Hurricane video, you can see Guile moving forward & back. I guess this means that Guile will remain 100% a charge character, even for his Critical Art input.

 

[Imperfected]

Capcom uploaded a video of Guile's Critical Art.

Look out, Dhalsim. Guile's coming for the crown of least visually spectacular CA!

Maybe they'll slap some kind of extended animation on it when it gets a CA Finish, or something?

 

[IntelliHeath]

Those Popeye arms, wow.

it's exactly my first thought when I saw dat arms bulked up.

 

[Skab]

Capcom uploaded a video of Guile's Critical Art.

His neutral stance is so SF2-like and that's fucking rad

 

[Greenzxy]

Take me the railroad track?

Spoiler

The Military step

 

[Neoxon]

Nah, he did the Kaioken x20.

Its a projectile so I'm not sure why you're expecting some sort of grand animation.
Not every CA needs to be insane animation wise. Keeping it simple is fine.

 

[kaydigi]

Can't wait, will they fix those pixelated black shadows also

 

[I-hate-u]

He look so...stiff.

That SFII stance. Is he gonna shimmy as his walking animation.

 

[Ryce]

Guile's theme!

 

[VariantX]

Did his arms just bulk up for the CA or am I seeing things?

 

[I-hate-u]

Guile's theme!

That guitar!!!!

 

[Neoxon]

Guile's theme!

It's beautiful

 

[Sinatar]

Guile's theme!

Will wait till I can hear the whole thing since the actual guile theme part of it didn't start until the very end.

 

[ZeroX03]

They bulked up.

EDIT: Theme song sounds beautiful. The new screenshots also look fantastic.

 

[Imperfected]

By that logic, why is any CA flashy at all? Why not just go back to Super-style "special moves with shadows"?

There's no real reason not to spice it up when a projectile Super lands for a CA Finish, and there's a very real reason to do so: it's a "payoff" moment in gameplay terms, the sort of brief, intermittent feel-good thing that keeps players coming back. That's why "CA Finish" is even a thing the game bothers to note or track to begin with, it's just a basic acknowledgement that it tends to be inherently satisfying for the player.

It's not a must-have feature, but it's one of those little touches that makes fighting games feel "loved", like custom intro animations or victory poses for specific match-ups.

 

[RellyRell28]

Guile's theme!

Why have we not gotten an option to have themes play during verses

 

[Boogalogist]

Guile's theme!

The guitar solo before the familiar theme is great. I'm liking it so far. I'm a fan of these guitar riffs.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Guile's theme!

Damn. This is good.

 

[G0DLIKE]

Please still have air throw.

Guile's theme!

Funky.

 

[spazchicken]

Guile's theme!

Not a fan of all the fluff. There isn't that much time in a round, just get to the theme already. And why organs?

Base line and guitars sounded great and they got the feel down but I got the mashed potatoes, corn and roll but where's the meat. Where's Guile's theme in all that?

Starts 45 seconds in....

 

[Snakeyes]

Gorgeous. Kinda reminds me of the second part of this awesome remix.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm uploading the theme to YouTube right now.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Your already dead

 

[CountBlack]

that anime flex

TBH from what that brief snippet of the track, the intro is the best part imo. The actual Guile theme in this remix sounds pretty unremarkable.

I agree and that's another gripe I have with it. Just overall disappointed with this official remake of such an iconic theme.

 

[Slaythe]

That Guile model looks quite bad compared to rest of the roster, looks more like a remastered version of SF4 Guile. At least characters like Ryu has a huge difference from SF4 to SF5

What time is it ? OH YEAH

It's LOOK AT FUCKING KEN TIME.

Guile is lucky.

 

[Zackat]

If you look closely at the Sonic Hurricane video, you can see Guile moving forward & back. I guess this means that Guile will remain 100% a charge character, even for his Critical Art input.

Maybe 2x hcb? Charge seems more likely though.

 

[Neoxon]

Here's a YouTube link for Guile's theme.

 

[Momentary]

The Guile theme sounds great. But it fails in trying to sound like the original song.

So if I think of it as its own song I love it. If that makes sense.

 

[I-hate-u]

Why have we not gotten an option to have themes play during verses

It really sucks, doesn't it.

 

[Neoxon]

that anime flex

Let me take a crack at it.

Yup, I noticed that too.

What if he's a hybrid? Wouldn't that be weird?

Who else is 100% charge?

 

[toastyToast]

guile going briefly ultra super saiyan for his super. goes back to normal afterwards though. he saw what happened to trunks

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

I need to hear the whole thing but so far, Guile's theme sounds alright.
Almost every old character theme has some sort of "fluff" to them while maintaining the old, recognizable parts so I'm fine with it in that aspect though it might go on for a little bit too long.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Yup, I noticed that too.

No one is a 100% charge in this game. Closest is Bison and even he has his QCB inferno, and motion super.

 

[vg260]

Dang. Guile's theme is disappointing.

Takes too long to get going.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm super hyped for Guile.

Capcom learning to release footage early to build hype, good lol.

 

[Lulubop]

Guiles CA gets a buff while in VTRigger, maybe the animation is slightly different

 

[GodParticle]

Eh, don't care for that theme at all. I don't need to hear someone's guitar solo before it starts...

 

[CountBlack]

guile going briefly ultra super saiyan for his super. goes back to normal afterwards though. he saw what happened to trunks

can't keep up with chun with them slow ass arms

 

[I-hate-u]

Let me take a crack at it.

 

[joebruin]

Eh. Didn't really like his theme

 

[Neoxon]

Here comes a new challenger.

 

[NastyBook]

lol...do his biceps get larger?

He Muten Roshi'd the fuck out of that SB.

Here's a YouTube link for Guile's theme.

Okay, yeah, it really did need to be Strange Sunset.

 

[Dangansona]

Maybe this has been mentioned before, but how would you guys have felt if they had given him a slightly more realistic flat top?
