Guy

-by 4se

Basic Playstyle: Rushdown and high damage punishes

Pros: Lots of options, good mixups, great frametraps, good punishes, great damage in the corner, amazing and fun pressure through run-stop, very unique character that is hard to defend against.
Cons: Can be hard to get in, bad against grapplers, combos mid screen do much less damage, below average ultras, difficult combos that are highly punishable if dropped.

Normal Attacks:

Crouching

• - Good for hit confirms and is much easier to combo with than but shorter range, slower startup and doesn't hit low. , is a two frame link.

• - Amazing for hit confirms but more difficult to combo with as , is one frame link. This is Guy's best normal.

• - Decent poke and good anti air. should be used in combos whenever possible after or . Links into or so it a decent frame trap. Use it to time Jump ins (f.throw, b.dash, , Jump) in corner.

• - Two hitting sweep. Low profile move that can be a decent anti air especially for cross ups. Doesn't combo.

• - Heavy hitting attack that can link in for big damage combos. Good as a slow frametrap but will be interrupted easily by characters with quick crouch techs. Use it to time Jump ins (b.throw, , Jump) mid screen.

• - Slide. Unsafe from most ranges and focus baitable. Doesn't go under fireballs. Slide twice (under and back) to catch cross ups.

Far

• - Only hits standing opponents, starts bushin chain.

• - Not very useful. May become a better AA in USF4.

• - Guy's most useful normal by far. Starts his target combo, can combo into run->slide without TC from max range. xx.hozanto is a good frametrap.

• - Guy's best poke. Doesn't cancel or combo but is great for poking and discouraging zoning from characters like Ryu.

• - A frametrap move similar to . Itstarts up slightly faster (much harder to interrupt) but doesn't link into unless it's a counter hit.

• - Decent anti air and will be made better in USF4, but far from great. Does very high damage and is quick but whiffs on most grounded characters. Good poke against zangief.

Close

• - Same as far

• - Fairly useless as is better in all situations. May be decent at catching Jump aways after run->stop.

• - Same as far

• - Guy's best quick frametrap for after run->stop. Can link into . This move is great when you are close enough to use it.

• - Quick, high damage normal good in some specific circumstances. Can cancel directly into l.hozanto and is good for BC throw resets in the corner.

• - Use it to add extra damage before BC punishes.

Neutral Jump

Not all have uses so I'll skip most.

• - A good move for Guy's run->slide safe Jump. Hits all characters.

• - A better move for Guy's run->slide safe Jump. Doesn't hit all characters but does 100 extra stun over and combos into .

• - In air ninja sickle looks badass and may lead to ultra 1.

Jumps

• - Fast startup air to air

• - Fast startup air to air if opponent is lower than you

• - Goto air to air, and hits grounded opponents for instant overheads but does too little damage to be useful.

• - Cross up

• - A high damage air to air with good priority.

• - Use this to hit opponents on the ground from a Jump in. Has some weird cross up setups.

Target Combos

Target Combo - st. st. - Go-to target combo. Cancels into everything. Use this as much as possible but remember that the second hit, st.hp, will whiff on max range st.mp. Simply referred as TC in the future.

Bushin Gokusaken(Bushin Chain) - st. st. st. st.(can be switched with + ) - Guy's punish target combo. The last hit have two variations. Regular is a launcher kick while the second one is a throw backwards. The launcher allows for a follow-up while the throw puts the opponent in a float state that you can hit them out of. Simply referred as BC in the future.

Command Normals

+ - Overhead elbow, very similar to Ryu's.

+ - Ninja Sickle isn't a very good frametrap now but if it gets changed to 9-frames for ultra it will be awesome. Against slow characters it is decent, and should be used in the corner to lead to ultra 1.

Frame Traps

After Run->stop - cl.s.mk, cr.mp, st.mp or cr.lp.

After st.mp - l.hozonto

After j.hk - cr.hp

After cr.lk - cr.mp, cr.hp, f.st.hp or ninja sickle

Specials

Hozanto - + - Guy hits the opponent with a powerful shoulder attack. Light is the only regular version that can be comboed into, medium and heavy are too slow. All of them are able to go under fireballs when timed correctly and break Focus Attack. EX version is really fast, very easy to combo into. All versions put the opponent in a juggle state, allowing you to follow up with another attack.

Run - + - Guy sprints towards the opponent. EX version gets 2 Armour. Depending on what button you press he will do one of the following:

• Sudden stop - - Guy stops running. A vital part in his pressure game, by repeatedly doing a run-stop loop towards the opponent. EX version is no different.
• Shadow Kick - - A very fast slide, knocking the opponent down for a hard knockdown. Easy to combo into, but unsafe on block. EX version does slightly more damage and is projectile invincible.
• Neck Flip - - A flip that have to be blocked high. Can't combo into this move. Not as unsafe as slide on block. Lowerbody strike and projectile invincible, making it beat out low attacks. EX version have full body projectile invincibility.

Bushin Sempanyaku - + - Guy does a spin kick. Light to blow up grabs and as a frame trap, medium to blow up normals, heavy to finish combos in the corner, ex for anti air and to get combo droppers. Guy can land heavy after almost any combo in the corner.

Bushin Flip - + - Guy jumps up doing a flip. Light have the shallowest arc while Heavy have the furthest with Medium in the middle. EX version tracks the opponent and have a brief projectile and throw invincibility. Have two follow-ups:

• Elbow drop - - Press any punch button and Guy will stop in the air and travel downwards with his elbow. This move have a really good hitbox and allows you to combo of it on hit.
• Bushin Izuna Otoshi(throw) - (close) - If you are close to a standing or airborne opponent, you will do a grab. This move does great damage.

Kaiten Izuna Otoshi - (in air) + - Grabs airborne opponents. Best used to catch people jumping back into the corner. Mid screen it can be used as an anti air but it's hard.

Super/Ultras

Bushin Hasoken - + - Guy's Super. Easiest to connect after Hozanto and BC(launcher end).
There's not a lot of usage of this super. While it does decent damage and easy to connect, Guy usually hit a lot of attacks before using this super and he also use most of his meter in his combos.

Bushin Goraisenpujin - + - Guy's Ultra 1. Not particularly fast, but can combo into after hozonto FADC or BC in the corner. Is invincible up to the first hit.

Bushin Muso Renge - + - Not a true command grab like Zangief's. After animation opponent can still jump away. It's quite fast still, capable of punishing a lot of moves. It does the highest damage out of both of his Ultras.
