Last March, Street Fighter fans got long-time popular character, Alex, the protagonist of Street Fighter III, and welcomed an old favorite into the roster. With his mix of aggressive melee moves and his powerbomb specials, folks have been busy experimenting with the blonde bruiser for days on end.

But just as we thought everything was cooling down after Alex’s release, a recent announcement by Capcom showed that they’re closing in on the next DLC character, Guile. Guile’s been around since the early days of Street Fighter II and is also one of the more popular mainstays of the franchise. In previous iterations, Guile played as a zoner, keeping opponents at bay with relentless sonicbooms and punishing them for jumping in with his iconic flash kicks.

Steam Account Value: Guile!

In SFV, it doesn’t seem like his playstyle is changing much, but as to how Capcom will balance him in a game where turtling is heavily punished is yet to be seen. We’ve seen this change in Ryu due to Daigo Umehara-type zoning is almost impossible now as compared to how godlike it was back in Street Fighter IV. Nash, basically a clone character of Guile originating in Alpha 3, has been balanced in SFV in such a way that he can both rush down and zone when called for. While that change is a welcome addition, it does run the risk of being too powerful as skillfully displayed by Infiltration. So everybody’s pretty curious now with how Guile will turn out.

For a little taste, here’s the sole gameplay video of Guile at the time of this writing:

If you’ve noticed, he’s kept that old Sonic Hurricane super from SFIV. It also looks to have a semi-okizeme property that could possibly be used quite amazingly at the hands of good players. All things considered, Guile will still probably be a charge character like M. Bison because if his sonic booms and flash kicks were made derivative of simple hadouken motions, he might end up too similar to Nash. That is something Capcom wants to completely avoid given their stance on why Sagat is not in the game. Guile will be available for 100,000 fight money like Alex and all future characters. Purchasing Guile increases Steam account value, indeed.
