The American hero, Guile, is back in the Street Fighter series. Capcom revealed at the Summer Game Fest 2022 showcase this week that Guile is back on the fighter roster for Street Fighter 6. A gameplay trailer was also revealed showing Guile's return.
Guile is the fifth character who has been revealed for the upcoming fighting game, joining Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Jamie. Jamie is the first new member of the roster for Street Fighter 6. The game title is currently in the works for a multi-platform launch in 2023.
Guile has a newly revised look for the game. He's grown out a goatee, and now he's wearing a short-sleeved flight suit with what looks to be a hoodie sweatshirt underneath. He's still got his comb to keep his hair looking nice and stylish.
Of course, Guile still has many of his classic moves in his arsenal including the Flash Kick (a somersault kick) and the trust Sonic Boom; his energy projectile ability. He also has the Sonic Blade, the Sonic Hurricane, and the Solid puncher at his disposal. Guile's new ability for SF6 is the Crossfire Somersault. This is a new Super Art that allows Guile to fire a massive aerial slash followed by a somersault kick.
