Following Alex and the March update for Street Fighter V, another update is coming later this month and with it comes Guile and a lot of improvements and updates to Capcom’s fighting game.
Guile, like Ken and Ryu, is one of the most iconic characters in the Street Fighter franchise and his inclusion in the latest game makes sense considering Nash’s large role in the story of SFV.
Thankfully, Capcom Unity has all the information regarding the latest DLC character for Street Fighter V, including what his moves do and how Capcom is dealing with rage quitters in online play.
Guile’s V-Skill in Street Fighter V is his Sonic Blade. This allows the fighter to spin up sonic energy to create a Sonic Blade, which acts as a stationary projectile that can also make his Sonic Booms stronger. Sonic Blade can help Guile pressure opponents on their wake-up or help him win projectile battles, as it increases Sonic Boom durability.
Solid Puncher is Guile’s V-Trigger and it 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 and leave your opponent guessing.
Depending on the sequence used, this can act as a great combo extender, be used to overwhelm opponents or really punish them by forcing them into the corner.
Guile’s Critical Art is the Sonic Hurricane and Guile powers up and hits his opponent with a massive, multi-hit Sonic Boom. This Critical Art receives a damage and range boost while his V-Trigger is active.
The April Street Fighter V update also brings the Air Force Base stage as a free DLC. It will be available for 70,000 zenny, but Season Pass holders will receive the stage for free.
Capcom also announced its Rage Quit System that will be implemented with the April update. Here’s exactly how it will work in Street Fighter V.
“The way this will work is the system will identify players who have high disconnect rates during matches and will lock them out of matchmaking for a period of time. Players who have been identified as abusing the system will receive an in-game message notifying them they have been locked out of matchmaking. More additions and enhancements to this system will be implemented in the future.”
