Guile Announced for Street Fighter 6

The 2022 Summer Game Fest started with the reveal of the fifth character in Street Fighter 6 - Guile. It looks like Capcom isn’t stopping as this reveal was just a week after they gave the world a good look at the new fighting game during Sony’s June 2022 State of Play. 

Here’s a quick rundown of Guile’s moves, via PlaySation Blog.

Sonic Hurricane (1 Stock) – Introduced in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Guile fires a massive aerial slash directly ahead. If used with a Heavy Punch, the aerial slash fires diagonally upwards as a good anti-air option. An extremely versatile move that can be used in combos, to counter projectiles, or as a way to turn the tables when being pressured.

Solid Puncher (2 Stocks) – Introduced in Street Fighter V as Guile’s V-Trigger I, Solid Puncher is now a Super Art. Guile envelops both arms in aerial slashes and enables the use of Sonic Break, where a flurry of small Sonic Boom projectiles can be unleashed simply by pressing the punch buttons.

Crossfire Somersault (3 Stocks) – A brand new Super Art, Guile puffs his chest and fires a massive aerial slash that launches the opponent into the air before following up with a brutal Somersault Kick.

Capcom seems to be firing on all cylinders even with the recent leak revealing the roster of Street Fighter 6. Thankfully, assuming all details from the leak remain true, the reaction to the information is generally positive as it seems to fuel the excitement for the fighting game even more. 

Street Fighter 6 is coming for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC in 2023.
