Guile, a character from the Street Fighter series, makes a return in Street Fighter 6. Known for his iconic flat-top haircut and his military background, Guile is a staple of the franchise. His character design in Street Fighter 6 stays true to his roots, with his signature green military fatigues and combat boots. His muscular physique, a testament to his rigorous training and discipline, is more defined in this iteration. His character model has been meticulously crafted, showcasing the attention to detail that the developers have put into the game.

In terms of gameplay, Guile retains his unique blend of defensive and offensive strategies. His move set is a mix of powerful punches, kicks, and his signature special moves – Sonic Boom and Flash Kick. Sonic Boom, a projectile attack where Guile throws a wave of energy towards his opponents, remains a key part of his arsenal. It allows him to control the space and keep his opponents at bay. Flash Kick, a somersault kick that serves as an anti-air attack, provides Guile with a reliable defensive option against jumping opponents. The animation and execution of these moves have been refined, making them feel more responsive and satisfying to pull off. Guile’s V-Skill and V-Trigger, mechanics introduced in Street Fighter V, have also been adapted for Street Fighter 6. His V-Skill, Sonic Blade, is a stationary projectile that can be combined with Sonic Boom to create a multi-hit projectile. This gives Guile more options in his zoning game. His V-Trigger, Solid Puncher, enhances his Sonic Boom, allowing him to throw multiple Sonic Booms in quick succession. This can lead to high-damage combos and pressure sequences that can overwhelm his opponents.
