SF4 Omega at a Glance - Guile

[@Sagragoth]

man, seeing guile do cold blue kick just makes me wanna see that blue haired edgy frenchman again

[@prof.laytonfan764]

I feel like if they gave him the Nash treatment and made him less of a Guile clone he could potentially be a cool character.

[@blyat8832]

Remy is never gonna come back lmao, sorry to break it to ya

[@ImHoldingDownBack]

@@prof.laytonfan764 I’d argue Remy is less of a guile clone and more of just a cross between guile and sagat. He’s kinda his own thing

[@blyat8832]

@@ImHoldingDownBack that's what most the sf3 new characters were lmao, just combinations of older more better characters, and Remy was the same, being a Guile and Sagat clone. Hell even the projectiles and one of the super animations were the same

[@ImHoldingDownBack]

@@blyat8832 oh yeah don't get me wrong, to say Remy takes Guile inspirations is obvious but I don't think "Guile clone" is an apt comparison

[@captainnavigator6534]

Fun fact, Ex boom followups were called "Sonic Break" in the update notes, same as Guile's VT1 followup booms. And his SF6 drive impact is also called Blitz Combination.

[@captainnavigator6534]

Also, his drive reversal is called strike eagle, but its an uppercut instead of a divekick

[@luckilyduckily]

i like how looking back, it makes sense that sfv guiles vskill 2, dive sonic, is a lot like the cold blue kick they gave him here

[@fntp1390]

THEY GAVE GUILE COLD BLUE KICK? WHERE IS REMY PLEASE CAPCOM WE NEED HIM IN SF6

[@BackOff_xd]

Imagine if his Blue Nocturne turns into a Normal move? Would be dope.

[@cozycherry1790]

Remy players losing their minds at the cold blue ref

[@PaddyRoon7]

Guile having motion inputs feels like sacrilege. He's probably the first name anyone thinks of when they hear the term "charge character"

[@BackOff_xd]

Tbh he did deserve it On Omega Mode specifically, games are faster on Omega so, which with this version of Guile, it keeps his slow, zoner-y characteristics on his charge moves, while his charge-less options are reserved more for his Offense so, that is also interesting because he now mixups motions and Charge on his combos, also it makes him less reliant off Flash Kick charge so.

[@F.Hakeem89]

That Double Sweep can also hit in SF6 and also as the 1st hit is part of a Target Combo in the Guile Trailer in SF6.

[@blyat8832]

1:36 if I remember, the lunging knee attack was used to apply pressure to an opponent when they were blocking or of the FADC'd, since it would track them. It was hella unsafe to do that but if you timed it right you could flash kick afterword before they have time to block, but it was hard af

[@Neogears1312]

Man what’s with all the Remy lovers coming out of the shadows these days? It was like a month ago when no one cared about him, now people remember cold blue kick and suddenly he’s everyone’s favorite third strike character.

[@Boyzby]

Do you expect people to just randomly bring him up in something completely unrelated? Of course they would talk about Remy here.

[@j0hnicide]

third strike characters are aesthetically designed

[@Neogears1312]

@@BoyzbyI meant everyone literally decided to talk about Remy when this video came out….

[@b4ttlemast0r]

Interesting, there are some things, like guile's two hit sweep here, or the two-meter pseudo supers they experimented with, where sf6 seems to have taken something from Omega but sf5 did not.

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

The "pseudo super" thing is super weird for sf and I'm not surprised they left it behind at the time

[@tedjomuljono3052]

@@user-wy1et9dk9w its common in the Alpha games, and CVS

[@b4ttlemast0r]

@@user-wy1et9dk9w I meant more like having more supers and having supers that cost different amounts of meter, they seemed to be experimenting with these things. They would have probably implemented them as proper supers instead of these "pseudo supers", like they ended up doing in sf6. In this context, it's strange to me that sf5 ended up with generally only one super per character while ultras are gone.

[@ricardoludwig4787]

I'm all for giving charge characters cool non charge options, but guile is the one exception for me tho, since he's THE charge character Don't doubt it's more fun tho

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

I personally disagree. I get your logic, but that kind of falls under the same line as "Guile only needs 2 moves". And we already know Guile will have a 3rd move (Sonic Blade). Also, SF6 seems to be going for a lot of special moves per character, as well as giving charge characters chargeless options (likely for ease of use, especially for new players). As long as the new moves don't change Guile's playstyle much, they're fine, and a chargeless combo ender doesn't really do that considering other charge characters have chargeless enders anyways (although I'll admit Guile being able to low forward into Blitz Combination would be scary).

[@konkeydonk]

Giving guile new specials is sacrilege

[@charlieharrington9555]

[@AuntBibby]

i love omega guile!! hes my main in omega mode. thank u for all u do bafael.

[@princesssleepyhead8043]

Ryu; "say that to my FACE" Guile; "I will get INSIDE your face"

[@dn7288]

the triple boom is so damn cool wow

[@Ganmorg]

I think a character with these specials would be cool but not for Guile. I think between SFV Nash and Omega Guile we have a very solid blueprint for Remy if they ever bring him back, which while unlikely would be very cool. They did give Guile a non-charge special with Sonic Blade, but it doesn't really change his fundamental gameplan in the same way as these moves do.

[@SnowB34R]

3:25 got me acting up 😩

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

I could actually se Blitz Combination returning as Guile's chargeless special (like Balrog's Screw Smash or Bison's Inferno). Idk about it knocking down, but it could give Guile a way to end combos without charge, but in return it's weaker than Flash Kick or a perfect Sonic Boom. Plus, it might super cancel. As for Strike Eagle? Assuming Remy doesn't return, I'm not sure. Blitz works as an ender, and Dive Sonic would make a better advancing attack, so unless you could use Strike Eagle like a divekick or something it just seems like a neat reference at best. Although I do see how it inspired Dive Sonic.

[@justingoers]

Such a cool version of Guile.

[@HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA]

Ultra II travels forward now, like Sonic Boom Typhoon (his meteor from EX).

[@sharifrowe7812]

Ah cold blue kick msking me think if Viewtiful Joe

[@bigvador]

That ex blitz is a super from the ex or alpha series

[@Bafael]

I think Alpha, and it was actually a nash super. SFA3 guile just had sonic hurricane. EX guile doesn't have anything like that (besides excel stuff)

[@bigvador]

@@Bafael opening gambit is what I'm thinking of.... Right it ends with a flash kick... Your right

[@tedjomuljono3052]

@@Bafael ex guile has something like that, and i iirc SVC Chaos guile too, might be wrong tho

[@HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA]

It's based on Total Wipeout from CvS. Opening Gambit from EX is similar, though it ends with a sideways Flash Kick.

[@MrMisfortune]

Considering you're reuploading these from SRKtube, do you know what happened to their KZbin uploads? They just kinda stopped one day.

[@Bafael]

SRK got bought by sony and I think a lot of the property has been in limbo since.
