—Guile

Guile is a video game character in Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games. He is considered the third leading and most popular male character in the series, after Ryu and Ken, largely due to his effectiveness as a character and his popularity. Guile has the USAF rank of Major at the time of Street Fighter IV.

Biography[]

A military man who specializes in hand-to-hand combat. In the past, he had a countless number of encounters in the battlefield, and understands that war requires callousness. While he is not one to talk much, he has a strong sense of justice. Guile receives orders from his superiors to travel to Antarctica in order to secretly investigate a mysterious box that landed there.

Appearance[]

His physical appearance is strikingly different from the many Asian characters in the Street Fighter series, with light blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a particularly tall flattop haircut. He has a tattoo of the United States flag on both arms. Guile wears baggy camouflage pants, military boots, a dark green muscle shirt, and he also wears Charlie's dog tag alongside his own.

Personality[]

Guile is tough, both physically and mentally. He has lived through a lot, and is still standing as a hero, as well as still fighting for good. Although loyal to the Air Force and the United States of America, Guile is extremely persistent in his goals. Despite this, he is a truly loving husband and father to his family, they often worry about him and the missions he goes on to protect the country.

Gameplay[]

"If you want to survive, learn how to keep a cool head."

—Guile

Guile is the first of many characters to introduce the "charge" gameplay style, in that a player must hold in a direction for a few seconds and press in the other afterwards to pull off a special move. This type of gameplay can make Guile a defensive character. Because of the short lag after his Sonic Boom, though, he can follow it and use his various forward-moving attacks to pressure the enemy, which makes him offensively very powerful as well.

Trivia[]

Guile, along with Jin and Marduk, are the only characters to say profanity in the game. Guile shouts "sh*t" when he misses a grab.
Guile and Abel's team up may have had to do with their rival match in Street Fighter IV, when Guile fought him in order to get answer about Charlie. This link is further reinforced in Street Fighter V, where they definitely become friends.
His transformation to Pandora Mode is a little different from that of the other fighters. While they scream and unleash their bodies, Guile performs a zombie-like pose.
In this game it's revealed that he fears bears.
