Guile Inspired Characters - Fighting Game Archetypes

[@TheFightersDen]

Honorable Mentions Max Eagle - Guile if he a became a Wrestler lol Ash Crimson - moveset only outside that nothing like Guile Heidern- Military Family man Rival Main boss

[@tpatt513]

Charlie taught Guile the game. So the answer is John from Art Of Fighting. He needs to come back. MEGA SMASH!!!

[@lonewolffang]

I was about to post that.

[@meganinten0078]

Guile: "SONIDO BOOM!!"

[@nujevad28]

Lore-wise, Charlie came first, but Guile is the OG in game history.

[@4ArchieLee]

But John is better tho.... Aof 2 was a sleeper.

[@thomasnowatkowski9178]

Kind of surprised Heidern from KOF wasn't on the list. Their both military guys, they both have personal beef with boss characters and Heidern's cross cutter is basically a sonic boom.

[@eieneidnf]

And both are family men (ok in heidern's case he's a single dad of 1-3 depending on your interpretation)

[@blakenapier3125]

Wrong again

[@GeneralUile]

Heidern's inspiration is way too different and the only move that's kinda similar is Cross cutter. Dunno if he counts.

[@blakenapier3125]

@@GeneralUile Charlie Nash should have Debut in Street Fighter 1 alongside with Huang Maki Genryusai Sessyu Tsuikikage Ryu Hoshi Jigjid Bartol Exodus Birdie Gen George Jensent Eagle Sagat Vold Ignitio Adon Shang Fenghuang Kyosuke Kagami Ken Masters & Hong Gilson

[@Blankult]

Idk he seems closer to rolento

[@mr.awesome6011]

While he's not a fighting game character, Lt. Surge's design in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver is pretty much a rip off of Guile with shades, but he does take them off to better see the resemblance.

[@AlexIn_ThaCosmos89]

To me, Matlok from Fighter’s History is similar to Guile, but in reverse Guile: American, a soldier, and one of law & order Matlok: British, rockstar, and rebellious

[@jasonelbowran4l]

To be honest, Jean from Fighters History Dymamite is more Guile like than Matlock is. He is literally Guile with E. Honda hands. Lol

[@TheOneSymphony]

Was coming here to say that! You're totally right!

[@Catkeeper]

Matlock looks like if Remy peaked in early 80s London and could never let it go.

[@sridrawings4510]

Remy? Ehh nah

[@joezar33]

​@@sridrawings4510SF3 Remy

[@sridrawings4510]

@@joezar33 ik but he aren't look anything like Remy

[@blakenapier3125]

None at all

[@meganinten0078]

Matlok is like an NPC enemy who appears in beat em ups from the 90s, who got tired of being beaten up by the heroes so he decided to become a musician and a fighter 😁 I personally like Matlok The first rock star musician in fighting games. I can see Matlok getting along with Lord Raptor (Darkstalkers) and I-No (Guilty Gear) 🎵🎸

[@hanzhovaj4129]

It's definitely John from Art of Fighting for sure but you forgot one more army type character that's from a game called Martial Champion.

[@cruz25617]

I think we all know John takes this one. He checks off all the boxes.

[@joezar33]

Yeah, John, such a 1 dimensional ripoff of Guile. Tho I love AoF , neo geo when hard in copying Guile more than any character on the AoF roster

[@blakenapier3125]

No they are not

[@poans6252]

Tekken's Paul Phoenix Mortal Kombat's Jax

[@KrisHomemadeBaking]

Heidern from king of fighters (more than Clark and ralf) can be considered a guile clown. Same serious attitude, same charge archetype, mostly similar moveset as well

[@vividleo]

John for sure that background stage 😂

[@joezar33]

Most of these Characters, look like they could be in Guile stage in the background

[@blakenapier3125]

You’re not helping and I think it says Charlie Nash taught Guile so means Charlie Nash should have officially Debut in Street Fighter 1 including not killing him off.

[@preplocc]

@TheFigthersDen, is World Heroes considered an arcade classic?

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

*Charlie is one of my all-time favorite* street fighter characters.

[@GeneralUile]

Robert Garcia in KoF '99 was Guile, essentially. He had charge motions there, and even had the flash kick.

[@tedjomuljono3052]

2000 was more Guile than 99, not only the motion, but the projectile shape was changed into a literal Sonic Boom instead of a fireball he also got the triple flash kick super in 2000, whereas in 99 it's mostly his old supers

[@GeneralUile]

@tedjomuljono3052 you're right! I forgot about the fireball changing there

[@dinorafy8734]

Thank's for keeping your lists on World Warriors fighters. If think you'll have à lot of work with Zangief !

[@meganinten0078]

Matlok is a Reverse Guile Spinning Wave = Sonic Boom Overhead Kick = a Reverse Flash Kick Guile = All-American for Law & Order Matlok = British and Rebellious

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

I thought the French guy was the guile clone in Fighters History

[@CaptainVulcan]

Gotta give John Crawley some credit. He's at least cooler (or chic, maybe?) than Charlie to me. Plus his stage and theme in AOF2 is one of the reasons why he's memorable.

[@GaidenDS10]

John Crawley is awesome, too bad he has to go face down ass up in a defeated pose like Robert.

[@PinHeadzBlackson]

You missed Bobby from the obscure Konami fighter Martial Champion. He's my pick. Military guy in green. Stage is a battle ship with soldiers on it. He has a projectile and a rising kick.

[@residentrump3271]

Right? I was expecting to see him here

[@czaku21]

I think Max Eagle from Savage Reign should make a cut. Look at his design (haircut!) and his american spirit.

[@meganinten0078]

Credits to Matlok (Fighter's History), he has the first Overhead Attack in fighitng games, the Overhead Kick 7:31 Also, Matlok's themes ROCKS!! 🎵 Especially his theme in the first Fighter's History (1993)! Fighter's History OST >>>>> Street Fighter 2 OST Edit: Speaking of FH, Mizoguchi's flying kicks is the first consecutive move (AKA rekka) in fighting games. Credits to DATA EAST and Fighter's History, they came up with original ideas that improved the fighting game genre

[@meganinten0078]

Matlok: "SPINNING BLADE!! "OVERRATED KICK!!" "OUCH! COME ON!!" Matlok had a better voice in the first Fighter's History 😁

[@tedjomuljono3052]

ironically in the SF EX series all of the shoto Tatsu moves are multi part rekkas just like that, i guess if they can't win the lawsuit, might as well rip off Data East in kind

[@bruceleeds7988]

Forget Guile for a second... how about SYOH from Battle Master? I'm pretty sure you didnt mention him for Ryu Clones

[@TheFightersDen]

i did u missed the follow up video Even More Ryu Inspired Characters - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roG5loZ8n6t7pdE

[@ginox_0736]

John take this for sure. You only showed his AOF stage but his AOF2 stage is vastly superior along with the soundtrack. A shame SNK completely forgot about him and never brought him back for any KOF games.

[@thesilentsociety3252]

He’ll be back for AOF4

[@ceddygwap2795]

Jean from karnovs revenge is a guile clone too also my favorite character in that game dont forget about ash crimson from KOF

[@meganinten0078]

Jean Pierre is also one of my favorite characters in Fighter's History "BANANA ROSE!!" The first character who uses a rose as a projectile in fighting games 🌹 In the original Fighter's History, he didn't have a somersault kick, he got it in the sequel, Fighter's History Dynamite Too bad Jean wasn't playable in the last game (FH Mizogichi Kiki Ippatsu!), instead he was only a cameo in the story mode and in Clown's ending which... ...👀

[@justingipson9772]

What’s the name of the background music that’s playing in the beginning of the video?

[@jordanjackson6151]

What is the theme song being played at the beginning of this video and many of the recent ones? It kicks ass! I’ve looked across countless popular fighters and still haven’t found it. Come on list the music in the info!

[@tiberiusblack659]

It's from the game Eternal Champions.

[@jordanjackson6151]

@ Thanks…. Wait which one? The Sega CD version? I only have the Genesis version (which I never can beat).

[@jordanjackson6151]

Oh. Sega CD version. Thanks a thousand!

[@meganinten0078]

Guillermo 'el Guille': "SONIDO BOOM!!" 'Toma! Comete esta!" Latin america fans will get the reference 😁 Here is a small trivia The iconic Guile's Theme from SF2 was based on the music 'Travelers' from T-Square

[@alexferrana3979]

Guile himself looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger from 1985 "Commando" movie.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Charlie, no contest.

[@seanmyster6]

Of the characters mentioned in this video, Matlok is the Number 1 Guile Clone in terms of gameplay, and John Crawley is Number 1 in terms of aesthetic and personality. (I don't count Charlie or Remy because they're from the same series as Guile) However, Heidern from KoF is who I would consider to be the *true* Number 1, as he resembles Guile on all fronts. All he's missing is a wild hairdo.

[@siekensou77]

What about Saki from Arcana Heart?

[@pureo_nikku]

Fightin’ Spirit has that same font as Fatal Fury 😂

[@e.l.4409]

Heidern from KOF is definitely a Guile clone. Maybe the number 2 Guile clone behind John Crawley. Also, Ash Crimson is in that Matlok and Remy category.

[@keithblanchette2023]

In the Street Fighter Loir, Guile was trained by Charlie Nash in which he learned the Sonic Boom and Flash Kick. So Guile is pretty much a clone of Nash.

[@furqantarique3484]

Here we go Guile inspired character

[@johnashiru3952]

Part of me wants to say Cinder from Killer Instinct because he has the flash kick but that’s about the only thing about him that’s slightly similar to Guile

[@meganinten0078]

3:19 I like the announcer of Fight Fever 😆 Nick Commando (cool name btw), the military Jason Voorhees. He has one of the best themes in the game! 🎵 Fight Fever has great music. 3:34 The hard punch version is one of the fastest projectiles in the game, and the main reason why Nick is top tier Only Rophen Heimer's (another cool name!) projectiles are as fast as Nick's 3:50 That dash punch is very hard to do 😖 Especially in the Set 1 version of the game If you want to play Fight Fever, I recommend the Set 2 version

[@meganinten0078]

Nick Commando's backstory: "The former Mr Universe is now an active duty soldier in the US Counterterrorism Force. He is nicknamed Assassin No. 1 because of his explosive powers and his tendency to overreact to missions. His insistence on being number one in everything he does is what drives him to participate in this competition."

[@bestboxerever3405]

@@meganinten0078 where do you find the fight fever characters backstories? can't see them anywhere.

[@meganinten0078]

I would love to see Remy in a new game I miss the emo french Guile Charge characters are awesome! Sadly they are very overhated Cycloid Gamma (Street Fighter EX), Remy, Jean Pierre (Fighter's History), Robert Garcia (in some games he is a charge character) and Igret (Ragnagard) are my favorite charge characters 👍

What about Wiler from either Flying Dragon or Virtual Hiryu No Ken?

for me it's Gado from Bloody Roar.

​@@bestboxerever3405I wasn't clear, excuse me, I meant a character inspired by Guile (a soldier) but who manages to stand out from it to be really unique.

[@Alexcobra861]

​@@bestboxerever3405if we should talk about the one who copies it the most, to the point in being the quasi-copy would undoubtedly be John from Art Of Fighting.

Ash kof, remy sf3 and heidern kof

Actually, Charlie got the upper hand on Bison and he got shot up from a chopper.

[@PipeBombsdrop]

and sf5 .. o right.

🐲John Crawley or Charlie for me... Tough decision.. 👀

[@akkadian4709]

And data east had the nerve to deny they ripped off street fighter! 😂

[@meganinten0078]

And Street Fighter ripped off Washizaki (Riki-Oh) to make M.Bison/Dictador; Stroheim (Jojos) to make Guile and Nameless Asura (Hokuto no Ken) to make Vega/Claw

[@akkadian4709]

​@meganinten0078 yes I was going to say in my comment that the Japanese have a habit of copying things then denying that they copied them 😅 but they do it with great quality indeed.

[@meganinten0078]

​@@akkadian4709 Did you know that Guile's iconic SF2 theme was based on the song 'Travelers' from T-Square? 😊

[@akkadian4709]

@meganinten0078 I didn't know that, I looked it up and it does have some similarities. The beggining is the most similar part imo. I knew about Ken's theme being based on cheap trick's mighty wings though, which the composer denies 😄

[@akkadian4709]

@meganinten0078 Wow I didn't know about guile and Vega, they clearly are similar 😂 and I've always heard Bison was based on Yasunori Kato which he totally is, but they clearly took from Jojo apparently, which i had no idea either.

I wonder does Mortal Kombat 2 version of Jax Count hmm 🤔

No military theme, not Guile. Tekken 4's Hwoarang was more Guile than Paul.

[@glasshalffullofwhatever3106]

Crawley is a pretty obvious but cool SNK rip off IMO....Seems bland at first, but grows on you over time. Has a pretty cool moveset in the second AOF...Needs to come back.

Stroheim from JJBA All-Star game.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

No mention of Sonja Blade? Those early years of fighting games you needed guy in gi, sexy dressed female, two characters that are a like, boxer, freak character, military person, ninja.
