guile has always been many things. Honest isn't one of them. It's ok though, nothing wrong with having dirt in a dirty game.
relative to the characters around him he's honest. there's nothing dirty about antiairng and throwing projectiles especially in sfv it's pretty straightforward. his vtrigger is useful like everyone else that isnt fang.

doing empty jump low or a grab reset every once in a while isnt dirt

hes definitely the most honest that guile has ever been, but that's still on the grimy side of things. Only reason he's not top 5 is his anti airs being unreliable. If the give meterless flash kick invincibility he'll be as dirty as they come.

Yea I remember back in the day sf 2, Guile was OP. Although Ryu was still #1, but that was because Tomo Ohira played Ryu. Ah the memories!

On paper he's not a top 5 contender and I could prob name 10 characters that seem better than him but he'd be # 11 at worst right now. the buffs i want him for arent matchup changing just consistency (invincible flash kick because aas especially when you have the charge but the window is so small to react to certain moves that you lose/trade or just block, but obviously this would affect every matchup as a side effect) and less limitations like his vtrigger boom not having less hit advatange than a regular boom or airbone sobat etc

the less limitations buff in general i want to see for everyone but i want the meterless flashkick as a practical thing. that would make guile as good as some people currently believe.

The only thing I want for guile is better walkspeed. Would help with his lackluster normals in footsies.

Not too excited about Akuma's reveal. Everyone was pretty much expecting him to be added eventually. It's not like this is the return of a character we haven't seen in a long time. Hell ever since Akuma made his debut, there's only been like maybe three Street Fighter or any of the Capcom vs games that he wasn't in.

Im excited, couldn't care less about Alex,juri,urien (especially in his thong)etc. But akuma to me is awesome. Maybe because im old school.

If he's still got Kara demon cancels I'm in there.

But couldn't it be evil ryu?
You know, that Kanji is the one that appears after evil RYU does his Raging Demon, so you might be on to something here...

I don't know the full lore, but that is definitely not the Akuma Kanji.

This is the Akuma Kanji:



One possibility I would like to mention. Maybe Akuma can transform into Oni with his v-trigger. This would actually make sense. It would work like Necalli's. If he's powered up when he does his CA, it shows a different Kanji.

Idk, just speculating...

Akuma turning into Oni via V-Trigger sounds super sick but I'm just curious as to who else we could possibly get as DLC. I'm holding out hope for Q man.

yup. That's why I brought it up. Also makes more sense story wise. Hate to burst bubbles though.

Its the same kanji as shin akuma in cvs2. and the rope gloves are a giveaway. if v trigger changes hin to oni this would be the hypest shit ever.

Yep. Just saw some people posted this on twitter. So maybe it's Akuma that turns into Shin Akuma when V-Trigger activates. Or maybe he just turns into Shin Akuma when he does his CA.

For anyone wondering, Shin Akuma is basically Akuma that has better specials. The main difference is that he can throw 2 air fireballs at the same time.

It's definitely something like that because for 20 years he always had the same Kanji after Raging Demon and now it suddenly is different?

akuma has had that kanji before. But not for a long time. Skin color and ropes suggest akuma but I dunno. I'd be hype for either one.

Also if his trigger turns him into oni and breaks his prayer beads I'll drop Mika.

Voice actor also suggests Akuma. Doesn't sound all too much like Evil Ryu and sounds almost identical to the Akuma voice actor in Tekken 7
