------------------------
1. First thing's first. Why pick Guy? The question is, why not? He
has above average speed and strength, and very strong combos and
throws. His stamina is kinda weak, but you won't be getting hit very
often once you master him, as you'll find no one can defend against a
good Guy player. Probably has the most damaging combos I've ever seen.
They do take a certain amout of timing to do though, but oh well.
Now as I have seen, Guy is a VERY under used character. I've seen more
Honda and Bison players then Guy. This always puzzled me as he is much
better then any Shoto-er and he has style(who else can do a triple
front flip, grab you and smash you into the floor?)
------------------------
2. Guy is the successor the Bushin style. It's kinda like a modern
ninja thing, which his Master Zeku taught him. I guess Guy is just
training and protecting the world. That's his duty. When a threat to
the world arises, so will the shadow of Bushin. Guy first appeared in
the side scroller Final Fight. Then he moved on to Street Fighter
Alpha, where IMO, he was the best character. Then he went on SFA2.
With Custom Combos, he was put way back there because of Chun-Li and
Rose. Back in SFA3 he soared to the top with a new super and the
ability to combo his supers into throws and everything. Any other
background info would be appreciated.
------------------------
3. Which Ism to pick Guy on?
V-ism shouldn't really be Guy's top choice, but he has some very flashy
combos that you can prove how good you are with. He loses his juggling
mp, fp chain though! This is too big a sacrifice to make. He does
gain a partial inifinte thought, but even then it's not very strong and
not worth the switch.
X-ism isn't very good on anyone, except maybe Chunny, especially since
they gave him his most useless super. However...his super does do
considerably more damage then on A and has alot more range. I guess
it's not completely useless, just not as good as picking A-ism. He
does gain more juggling ability though and becomes a little more
strong. If they would have given him his Kick super then X would
probably be best
So A-ism is your ticket. In this mode he has 3 supers and 3 levels.
Either you go all out (level 3 supers) or you kinda conserve (using
only level 1 supers every once in a while). You should know already
know all the standard stuff like safe falling, and all that which you
get to keep in A.
------------------------
4. Ok here where we start to learn.
=====================
Jab/lp:
Standard jab, very quick. You can chain 2-3 before you hit the next
punch for the combo.
Jumping: Um same except you can only hit once, not much use.
Crouching: It's ok I guess. Just stick with standing. You should use
it after you get swept and they are moving close to you.
=====================
Short/lk
When close: It's like a low kick to the leg, can also be chained 2-3
times.
When far: A side kick to the facial area, weak and fast.
Jumping Very good priority. If you're jumping back, hit lk and you'll
pretty much be safe from anything
Not moving: This is kinda dorky looking, but it stops all jump-ins in
their tracks. It's useful but you'll probably forget about it.
Crouching: Uh, not really any use. Real quick though and you can combo
into a Hurricane Kick from it.
=====================
Strong/mp
When close: He does kinda like a to hit smash. No real use, except for
your mp, fp chain, for this and it look dumb too. Plus, you have to be
RIGHT on top of the person.
When far: He does a punch to the stomach. Medium damage and should
pretty much only be used in combos.
Note: On this move you can be right in a shoto-er's face and they
can't counter with fireballs cause this punch with go through, but only
really close. You can't use this anywhere like as an alternative to
blocking.
Forward+mp: Guy leans forwards and hits the person twice with his
elbow. This must be blocked high. What you should do with this is
sweep a lot and then when they are expecting you to sweep and they
block low, you use this.
Jumping: A punch aiming kinda downwards. I never use this because you
can do a dropping elbow instead, which is easier to combo.
When in air, down+mp: This is a good move to start combos with, you can
do it whenever, so it you miscalculate a jump or something, just come
down on them with this. Also when you hit with this you should do a
crouching mk for a sweep or into your combo. Also I'll add it leaves
the combo meter open for quite a while, meaning if you hit someone
while high in the air you can usually land and hit before they can
block again. Also this move stay on for a while, so you should do it a
little before you peak at your jump.
Crouching: This is a straight Punch forwards. You can chain his
Hurricane Kick and his Dashing Elbow off of it. This also suprisingly
is an anti air move. Much more priority then you'd think and you can
cancel into a flip throw.
=====================
Forward/mk
When close: This is a good kick to combo a mk hurricane kick out of
it, an alternative to doing a mp, fp chain in the corner.
When far: A straight out side kick. Has good range and is quick coming
out. Not really a good use except just to throw out for a surprise.
Jumping: Just like his lk. It has good priority, it's just slower and
stronger.
Crouching: This is one of his sweeps. It hits twice and is more
reliable then his d+fk. The kick itself has good range, but if only
one hit hits, then they won't fall. You have to be close for both hits
to hit. Good for a counter sweep.
=====================
Fierce/fp
When close: He does sort of an uppercut. When they jump in it juggles
them, making it perfect for your flip throw. This is also gonna be in
a lot of your combos.
When far: He does a quick backhand. This comes out fast for a fierce,
but it's also weak for one too. Nail them at the end of a match with
this an they just shake for a while then scream and get flung across
the screen.
Jumping: A strong jumping backhand. But because of how it tends to
only hit horizontally, you shouldn't use this.
Crouching: Here we go! This is an excellent move with lots of speed,
range and priority. This takes a chunk outta their block meter too.
So if you're going for cheap, jump in with the dropping elbow and do
his crouching fp then a crouching fk and half of their guard meter is
gone. It doesn't have anymore combo abilities though. =(
=====================
Roundhouse/fk
When close: Ok this should pretty much only be used as a combo
finisher, as it knocks your opponent in the air, just waiting for a
super to knock them in the face.
When far: Guy lets out a spinning kick with good range and comes out
fast. There isn't much use for this move though, unless you're trying
to chip out their Guard meter or you can use it for good anti-air
defense. It's a good ticking move because it's pretty fast and does
damage.
Df+fk: Guy does a backflip that hits twice. This is a good hit and run
move and you should try to use it like a retreat dash. It has great
priority, but it takes forever to recover from, so if it's block expect
a super fireball in the face.
Jumping: Ah a really good jump in move. Not a lot of priority though,
but it looks good and does damage and leaves then stunned so you can
follow up with a combo.
When in the air, up+fk: Guy does a two-hitting backflip like his df+fk
except it's in the air. You have to jump straight up to do it. Anti
Air defense I guess is what this is for. If you have someone in the
corner you can keep jumping and doing that and you're pretty safe, then
when it hits(or their guard meter crashes), super him!
Crouching: This should be his sweep, but it's not all that reliable.
You have to be in close for it to sweep, and it has a lot of recovery
time, so if you miss or it's blocked, you're pretty screwed. But most
people will only counter with a sweep. This also does a lot of damage
to your guard meter and has fairly good range. If you are far somtimes
it will crash and you can do a super or flip throw if they don't safe
fall.
-----------------------
-----------------------
Special Moves
Ok here's where learning guy is all about. I'll list it's real name
and then what I call it and how to do it.
=====================
Houzanto/Dashing Elbow qcb+p
Haha, every shoto-er's nightmare. Use this a lot when you're playing
against Ryu or Akuma, because it can go through fireballs and nail
them! Good thing is that hardly anyone knows about this. You can also
combo the ones using lp. Don't ever forget about the invincibility you
have while turning. The only thing you have to watch out for is Ken
cause it has some problems with Dragon Punches.
=====================
Bushin Senpuu Kyaku/Hurricane Kick qcb+k
I guess this is for defense. It's a pretty strong move and combos out
of Almost any normal attack . It has good combo potentail but it is
pretty weak. Use it against jump-ins on big characters(i.e. Zangief,
Sodom, etc.) because it comes out pretty fast. You will use it alot if
you decide to play V-ism Guy.
=====================
Bushin Izuna Drop/Flip Throw qcf+p, then p again.
Ah, this is Guy's golden move. He does a triple front flip, then once
you hit punch and you're over the opponent's head, he grabs them and
slams then into the floor. Needless to say, this looks really cool and
it does good damage. If you really wanna look good, you should throw
in a taunt as soon as the move ends. If you aren't over the person and
hit punch, then he will just do his dropping elbow. The dropping elbow
loses combo ability really bad so it's hard to combo, and all you can
do is a C. mk.
=====================
Hayagake/dash qcf+lk then any k when you want Guy to stop.
Well this is a dash. In fact, one of the few people that can dash, and
the only one with a full screen run. But don't get your hopes up, it's
not like in vs. games where you can rush in and hit. The only thing I
found this useful for is after you use his throw, then you dash in and
try to super or throw again.
=====================
KageSukui/dash slide qcf+mk, then mk again to slide.
This is a very good move to use against scrubs. Guy will run in and
then slide and hit low. When it hits, the person is on the floor.
This does ok damage and is a very good surprise move, since you can
only block it low and it comes out so fast. Make sure you DON'T
become predictable with this move because you're in for it if it's
blocked.
Note: The best time to do this is probably when you have 1/2 a
screen's distance between you. The move to get out takes forever but
the sweep goes far and low(under some projectiles). If it's someone
with out a projectile(zangief or somthing) then you use it strictly
counter.
=====================
Kubikari/dashing kick qcf+fk, then fk again when you want him
to kick.
This is a good move too. Guy will run at you and then do a cool
looking spin kick. This has a lot of start up delay but little
recovery delay, and it's not that strong either. But it will hit if
you're not blocking high. Besides looking cool, it does descent damage
too. It will probably be blocked unless you're fast at pulling it
off. Guy has no invincibility time or anything, so one well timed hit
and you'll be knocked out of it. Best used against scrubs too. Looks
great in combos though =)
Note: This is his most useful dash move. Good air defense if you can
do it fast enough. Good chipper too. You need to make sure you can get
it out quick or it loses suprise. Another way is when you are full
screen away, since the recovery time is pretty good and makes you look
like you could get hit, you do a mk sweep.
------------------------
------------------------
6. Super moves
=====================
Bushin Hassoken/jump super qcfx2+p
Ah, this has been totally upgraded since SFA2. This is good air
defense too, but works even better for offense. You can combo very
easily with it. Guy says something and then VERY quickly jumps at a
45° angle and starts to beat the hell out of the other person. Now
alone, this super is rather weak, but you can combo it out of almost
anything! Including his kick throw! You should be using this often,
every time you connect your combos, end it with a level 1 jump super.
=====================
Level 1: 4 Hits. This doesn't have as good range and I Don't think
you can combo Level 1 off of a super, only in the corner. Use this for
air defense or after a smashed Air throw combo.
=====================
Level 2: 5 hits. The coolest looking Version. He jumps up at good
range and you should use this in combos or out of a kick throw. Just
like level 3 except one less hit.
=====================
Level 3: 6 hits. Pretty much the same ass level two except with an
extra hit. Just do it for maximum damage.
=====================
Bushin Gorai kyaku/super kick qcfx2+k
This is a good super too. Guy raises up his fist and then goes into a
combo. He is invincible during the start up so use it as a counter.
Also, the level one ends with a kick the jets you across the screen.
If you have a level of super to waste, then use a level 1 and as soon
as it ends, throw the person with kick and launch into his jump super.
=====================
Level 1: 4 hits. Great counter for people that like to get on top of
you after a sweep/throw. Pretty weak though. This if not blocked will
send the other guy flying across the screen, with them in the corner.
If it's blocked you end up right on top them. There is very little
recovery lag so just do a kick throw after and then go into your level
2 Punch Super.
=====================
Level 2: 6 hits. Man this doesn't have much use. Never use level 2,
only level one and 3. 2 is probably almost as weak as 1. It just
really isn't useful for anything except chipping to death.
=====================
Level 3: Ah great ground super. Can use it in the same manner as a
level one of these, except you can pretty much juggle with anything.
Noticeably more damaging and really good for juggling. Combos out of
a C.mp too.
=====================
Bushin Musou Renge/demon super hcbx2+p
Guy's new super. Talk about flashy. This resembles Akuma's raging
Demon, except I personally like it better because you can see how Guy
beats the crap outta you. This is pretty strong taking out 1/2 power.
You need 3 levels of super to do this though. This is the mark of a
master, because it has 0 range. The best way to connect with it is
after a sweep or throw, get right on top of them and time it to hit
them as they get up. It's VERY easy to avoid. It has the same
properties as any normal throw. You can duck it, you can jump outta
the way, you can hit him out of it. Anything. Of course it also is
unblockable. Too bad he can't slide forwards like Akuma huh? I
suggest you don't use it unless it's sure hit like they are dizzy or
somthing.
------------------------
------------------------
7. Throws
An important part of playing Guy is knowing how to throw properly. Guy
has very strong throws so you should be using them often.
Punch Throw Forward+2 punches
This is Guy's least useful throw. When it hit he flips you over and
throws you all the way across the screen. It is useful for getting out
of corners or getting people into corners. After you use this throw,
always use his dash to get in close.
=====================
Kick Throw Forward+2 kicks
This is Guy's best throw. He grabs you and then he start kneeing you
in the face. You should mash for maximum efficiency. At the end of
this throw, the opponent is tossed up so you can then combo with a
Super/Hurricane Kick/any other move or combo, even an air throw! That
makes you look really good. But while smashing their face in, if you
hold forward+pp, Guy will do his normal throw. I don't really see a
use for this because I'd rather just combo into his super, but you
might want to try this on someone like Zangeif then dash up and kick
him.
=====================
Air Throw(in air) forward+2 punches
This is Guy's air throw. It looks cool and does a lot of damage.
Kinda hard to hit with though unless you are both jumping. This puts
Guy at an advantage because of his huge jumps. You should try and use
this whenever the person and you are both jumping forwards, because guy
will usually win. If you can crash someone then jump and throw them,
it sets em up perfect for anything. Use a jump super or maybe a double
hurricane kick combo.
=====================
Iznua Drop/Flip Throw qcf+p
OK I'll describe this throw a little more. As it is a throw it is
unblockable. You should use this a lot as you can cover the entire
screen in a single leap. Even if you don't hit you are pretty safe
because there is little recovery time. It does good damage too. You
should use this whenever you want to get close. This is especially
useful against turtlers how love to sit back and throw out whatever
projectile they have. Now combos are possible with this, which I'll
describe down in Combo section. Now you mistime this and push punch
when you're not overhead, you'll do his dropping elbow. This loses
alot of combo ability, but it takes out more from your guard meter.
You pretty much don't have any recovery lag after you do this, so what
you should do is a backflip(df+fk) as you as you land then throw out
another one and see if that hit.
Degrees of the flip throw:
Lp: This launches Guy up at a high angle, and higher then all
characters can jump. So you they jumped in and you did this, as they
will be landing, so you will you, just on top of them. Just press
punch and you'll nail them.
Mp: This is what you use if they are not jumping in or full screen
away. Probably the one you will be using most, because it takes you
high enough to escape most moves and far enough to reach.
Fp: This is your full screen one. If they are sitting back and you
have the whole screen to
get across, use this and you should be able to make it right across.
This is also an escape move too. Say you're getting cheaped in the
corner by Ken and his stupid Dragon Punches, try to hit them with a fp.
Now it will cancel into the flip throw(not combo, but leave him stunned
enough to get outta there).
------------------------
------------------------
8. Combos
This is another Key thing to winning with Guy. Guy has amazing combo
skills! If only they would put him in a vs. game…Let's start out with
the easy ones.
Jump in with fk, C. lp, hurricane kick(use with lk) 5-9 hits
Note: If you do this in the corner you can do a C. lp, hurricane kick
again for an extra for 4hits
Jump in a dropping elbow, C. mp, Dashing elbow(use with lp)3 hits
[variation]You can do a S. mp, S. fp Dashing Elbow(with lp) for more
damage and an extra hit, but you have to close.
S. mp, S. fp 2 hits
Note: May seem like nothing big, but this is very important. Great
for juggles and great for any ground moves. You can combo anything out
of it except a flip throw and Dash move. Juggle wise, this is straight
up the best. I'll put combo's with this in advanced section.
S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, 4 hits
Note: Timing is tricky on this, but you MUST learn this to become even
half-good with Guy. This is what he can combo his supers out up or
follow up with whatever he wants.
J. flipkick(u+fk) S flipkick(df+fk)4 hits
Note: Just a little ticking combo. Looks kinda cool but you have to
jump in deep for the backflip to hit.
Jump in with a dropping elbow, C. mk.(doesn't combo but when they get
up try to throw them) 3 hit
Jump in with fk, backflip(df+fk)3 hit, then do a flip throw and see if
you can hit them with it. Work's 90% of the time against people.
------------------------
Harder Combos
Level 3 Kick super, S. mp, S. fp flip throw10 hits
Note: real nice corner combo. Do this everytime you hit with your
level three kick super.
Kick throw, Jump Super 12+ hits(remember to mash those kick buttons)
Note: This is the ultimate Dragon Punch counter! Wait for a person to
do it then counter it with this sucker...hehe. That of course is for
FP DPs. If it's a jab you can't jump in and counter, but you can block
it and counter.
Kick throw, jump in air, air throw(in corner) 6+ hits
Note: Pretty hard to do, but it looks cool. You can't combo his super
after it like you would be able to normal though =(
S. lp, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk S. mp, S. fp Flip throw 9-11 hits
Note: This works best in corner. and boy does this take out power.
If you have trouble with the mp, fp chain then you can just leave out a
button and it still combos of the s. mp or fp.
Jump in with fk, S. lp, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, Jump super 12 hits
Note: Yeah! This sucker can take out about 3/4 you life if it's with
level 3. No need to be in a corner or anything! Just wham and the
match is pretty much won.
Jump flipkick(u+fk), S. lp, S. lp, C. mp, Kick Super(level 3) S. lp,
S. mp, S. fp, S. fk. 17 hits
Note: This is a very strong combo. It takes alot of skill to do right
though and you have to have the super knock them into the corner..
S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, C. lp Dash Spin Kick. 7 hits(in corner)
Note: My favorite combo. Can't beat the style of it and does good
damage, about a 1/4 your bar. Unfortunatly you have to be in the
corner...
[variation: You can actually use any of his special moves after this,
except the Dash Sweep and the flip throw(?) This one just looks
cooler.
[variation] You can forget the S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, and do a
kick throw instead]
S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, C. lp hurricane kick 9 hits
Note: Same as the above more hits and damage but not as cool looking.
(in air)Dropping Elbow(has to crash them) jump up and air throw, Punch
super.
Note: Much easier the it seems. I guess you can use anything besides
a Dropping Elbow, but it seems to work best. After it hits, the person
won't know to safe fall til it's too late. If they tech hit out of
your air throw you're screwed though.
S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk (corner) 8 hits
Note: WOW! Half your their bar is gone is you hit with this sucker!
Man if you could do this any where that wouldn't even be funny. I mean
2 of these and they're dead with a perfect! Now if you could chain
your punch super out of that I think that would instantly kill you, but
I haven't yet. Can anyone verify? Timing is tricky because you have
to wait a little and do it as they are falling. I usually try only to
do this against Cheap Shotoers or when the other person has about 3/4
and I have 1/4(man that evens it out huh?) Try not to use this combo
alot, because of the insane damage it does it's not fair to a Human
opponent.
S. mp Demon Super 11 hits
Note: This is real iffy, but I did it once. I'm trying to do it again
but no luck. I was point blank and I didn't even mean to do it. Don't
you hate that?
Jump in Fk, S.lk S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, S. mp, S. fp Flip throw 9
hits
Note: For maximum hits use hurricane with fk. This is probably your
most damaging corner combo. About half damage but with more skill then
combo then the combo-combo combo(did you get that?).
Guy's Insane death combo.
Jump in with fk, S. mp, S. fp, level 3 kick super, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp,
S. fk. S. mp, S. fp, Flip throw. 16 hits
Note: Oh shit. If you hit with this it's over. 80% power. You can't
beat the Style of this, but this is a very hard combo to do and you
probably can't get it to work on a human opponent, but still. You'll
get some oooos and ahhh's with this sucker...
Partial infinte
S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk. S. fp Flip throw(elbow drop), S. mk flip
throw(elbow drop) repeat.
Note: Ok here. This only works on Zangief, they have to be in the
corner and takes incredible timing skills. This is funny though as you
watch him mash trying to get out. You HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T
DO A FLIP THROW, or the combo is ruined. The best way is when you
cancel into the flip throw you press punch as fast as you can.
My favorite combo:
Jump in Fk, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, C. lp Dash Spin Kick. or
Jump in fk, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, S. mp, S. fp, Flip throw.
I love to show off with these combo. These combos are tricky to do,
but they do good damage and they are very flashy. Anyways, there are
several ways to do a combos like these.
[more variations: C. lp (lk)hurricane kick, C. lp/ S. mp, S. fp dash
spin kick/Flip throw]
[S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, C.lp/ S. mp, S. fp Dash spin kick/Flip
throw(most damaging)]
[Kick throw, C. l0p/ S. mp, S. fp, Dash Spin kick/flip throw]
[Level 3 Kick super, S. lp/ S. mp, S. fp, Dash Spin Kick/Flip Throw]
Note: OK I hope you can tell that you use the S. mp, S. fp for the Flip
and the C. lp for the spin kick.
------------------------
------------------------
9. V-ism Combos
Ok I'll say it again. Make sure you pick Guy on A-ism! Customs don't
do anything for Guy except maybe make him look cool and get him his 2
best colours. If there is anyone out there that plays V-ism Guy, let
me know some combos. These are the few I have.
mp+mk CC. Dash in with a Spin kick, C. lk, backflip(df+fk), jump in
the air and air throw, mk, hurricane kick, hurricane kick, air throw.
12 hits(strictly for show, it's not very strong and hard to connect,
but since people will often just sit back and block that makes it good
to go)
Note: While technically the spin kick doesn't combo into to the lk, by
the time you hit low kick the flip kick should connect(thus they block
high they get the C. lk and if they block low they get the spin dash to
the head, leaving them open for comboing) You might be asking how you
air throw from a backflip. Your shadow will knock him straight up so
all you have to do is jump and throw.
mp+mk CC: Droping elbow(d+mp in air) S. lk, elbow smash(forward+mp),
Droping elbow(d+mp in air) S. lk, elbow smash(forward+mp) repeat.
Note: This also takes alot of timing skills and for the pathectic
damage it does it really isn't worth it. If you connect right away the
and can keep up the pattern it's about 25+ hits.
lp+lk(works best on bigger charcaters)CC Do a jumping backflip, C.mp,
hurricane kick, hurricane(fk). 20+hits
fp+fk CC. jump in with fk, s. lp, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, jump back
in with fk, s. lp, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, jump back in and repeat.
Note: This only combos the first 2 times(11 hits) but if they block
it, it's pretty much an automatic guard crush.
10. Strategies
Here is some basic stuff to remember when you're playing as Guy.
-Guy is very offensive. You have to stick it in their face if you want
to win.
-Guy also is very quick. Use his speed and priority to your advantage
by jumping in with a fk and jumping back out with a lk.
-Guy has a lot of moves that hit high and low. Try to mix it up with
him.
-Guy's Super's are very fast and have a lot of priority. Try to use
them when you're getting up and the player is on top of you.
-Make sure you don't forget about his Dashing Elbow. It's a well over
looked move, but it's one of the the ultimate shoto destroyers.
-Guy has huge jumps and the ability to jump off walls. This is pretty
much all he has as a line of defense. But jumping on the wall then off
will get you all the way across the screen, where you can jump in with
a fk, then combo. A great way to get to damn Ryu players. You can
also use this to your advantage at the last few seconds of a fight
since most people won't be able to catch up with you.
-Guy has amazing damage potential. Use it, but don't go overboard.
You don't wanna become cheap like shotos.
-Guy also has amazing Juggling skills. Juggle alot with weak moves to
show off. remember though if you really need to win, belt out a S. lp,
S. mp, S. fp, S. fk, S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk combo.
Vs. Strategies
Ryu
Oh don't we all just love him? Hadouken! Hadouken! These aren't
really a problem with Guy, as he can just Dashing Elbow throw them and
nail him. His Hurricane kick does present more of a threat because Guy
doesn't really have a good move to deal with it. If he does it far
away, use a Flip Throw(with mp) and you usually can throw them out of
it. Dragon Punches suck too. Jump in if you expect them to do a
Dragon Punch and just block.. Then just do a kick throw into a super.
That'll make em think twice about using that again. If it's a jab DP,
then you have to sweep them and get on top of them and throw them or
wait for a DP then counter. Ryu players are so easy to read because
their lack of Strategy. They remind me of Wolvie players in MvC where
they do the same pattern over and over again. A ryu player's pattern
is somthing similar to this:
Cross up with mk. C. mk fireball(3 hits). They'll move in to a C. lp,
C. lp fireball/DP. and that's pretty much what they do through the
whole match. Using their precious Sweep as a counter for anything you
miss and using their precious Jab DP's to stop jump ins. NO skill at
all. To break the pattern you have to land a couple of Flip throws and
a combo or 2 into a super. You might have to play the D.O guy for this
where you wait for them to mess up and then counter with all you've
got. If it is a good Ryu player though, they will be on offense,
probably using the hurricane kick in the air to get close then throw
you and DP you.
Ken & Akuma
Pretty much the same as Ryu except with their Hurricane and Dragon
Punch more. Use the same techniques, just be more careful and combo a
lot against them. If you're playing the computer Akuma on A or X-ism,
then DO NOT go up and try to throw them when they have a full super
bar. You'll eat a Raging Demon. Trust me on this one. Good Akuma
player love to do this too. Then there is Ken. Ugh. Well I've had
this death combo done to me once. I was trying to do a combo but I
slipped and ate 3 level one Shinryukens(all comboed!) Always look out
for those when jumping in and look our for his Shouryuu Reppa too.
Since we all know Ken is COMPLETE INVINCIBLE DURING ALL SUPER(not cheap
at all btw…) so you have to watch for those.
Charlie
Sonic booms are more dangerous then Hadoukens IMO. When you jump in
look out for Somersault Kicks. Just stick to combos and Supers.
Careful of his Crossfire Blitz combos which take out massive damage.
It's a good thing mot many people play Charlie(except me). He doesn't
really have a defense game, but he can really mess you up if he turns
offense. Block LOW a lot, because he'll do a lk into Crossfire Blitz.
Try not to let him stay close to you.
Chun-Li
Well there is few to no Chunny players here, but from what I have seen
you kinda have to play Neutral. You wouldn't wanna mess up her pretty
face so you should be hitting low alot. Look out for her Hazan Tenshou
Super, which can just wipe out your bar. She has invincibility during
her supers too, but over all you should be able to beat her. They key
is Combos. You have to really stick it to her face if she is trying to
play defense. If she is playing offense(which any good Chunny player
will, look out for her FP which is strong and has more priority then
you). X-ism Chunny is a completely different story, but since I'm the
only one that uses her you should be lucky and hope never to encounter
her. Just look out for her Bird Kick which chips out massive
damage(from guard and power) and for her ridiculously overpowered jump
in with fp, fp, Sohakkei(her drillless drill hit) which can take out
1/3 of your life if all three hits connect right.
Zangief
Man I hate this guy. People say he isn't cheap because of his slowness
and no projectile...But his Spinning Plie Driver(SPD) has too much
priority. You can totally get messed up by him. They can take you out
of you combo. Talk about cheap. Another thing is, you can wail away
on him all day doing minimal damage, and when all he has to do is land
a few supers and you're out. The trick that I've seen to beat him is
to hit and run. Use your S. lp, S. mp, S. fp, S. fk combo to gaurd
crush him then use it again to nail him up into a super. I think that
Zangief's normal attacks take out block damage, so look out for that.
Cody
Ok Not much of a threat here. Guy could jack him up in Final Fight and
he still can. Cody is an intresting character and he shouldn't be
underestimated(he spent time in prison so he fights dirty). Look out
when he gets his knife, cause then you're in trouble. You can hit it
out of him very easy. V-ism is more of a threat, because his supers
were never that good to start with, and now he has that weird dodge
shit. Of course there aren't too many Cody V-ism players here (except
me again, haha)so not much of a problem, he can counter alot easier now
because somtimes it looks like you're missing him all together. If
they get you in a Custom and have his knife, say goodnight, cause your
Guard meter will die and then you will too. Simple 5 hit combo crushes
you then do it again and it dizzies you. So stay offense when it's
on(that goes for anyone that play a V-ism character)
That's all I have for now as no one plays with anyone but Ryu Ken or
Akuma(and what I got for other characters was against crappy players).
So any help would be appreciated.
11. Miscellaneous Crap
The characters on Guy's Gi mean Bushin.
- 'Bushin' translates as 'God of the Military Arts'.
Tsukami Nage Holding Throw(kick throw?)
Izuna Otoshi Izuna Drop(air throw)
Bushin Izuna Otoshi Bushin Izuna Drop(flip throw)
Houzantou Mountain Demolishing Dipper(dashing
elbow)
Bushin Senpuu Kyaku Bushin Whirlwind Kick(hurricane kick)
Hayagake Rapid Running(dash)
Hayagake: Kyuuteishi Rapid Running: Quick Stop(dash)
Hayagake: Kage Sukui Rapid Running: Shadow Scoop(dash slide)
Hayagake: Kubikari Rapid Running: Neck Cutter(dash kick)
Hiji Otoshi Elbow Drop(d+mp in air)
Kubi Kudaki Neck Breaker(f+mp)
Bushin Gokusa Ken Bushin Imprisoning Fist Chain(combo?)
Bushin-ryuu Seoi Nage Bushin-style Shoulder Throw(Punch
throw)
Bushin Hassou Ken Bushin Eight Paired Fist(Jump super)
Bushin Gourai Kyaku Bushin Strong Lightning Kick(kick
super)
Bushin Musou Renge Bushin Unparallelled Rapid Reap(demon
super)
LP, LK= Guy crosses his arms.
MP, MK= Guy turns away, holds an arm up, then lets it fall. He says
"Waruku omou na." (Don't think badly of me)
FP, FK=Guy holds his other arm by the wrist, with his fingers pointed
Up. He says "Korezo, Bushin-ryuu!" (This is Bushin style!)
Win Quotes: Guy would be much better if he had More of a Ukyo
attitude, but no…Capcom has to go and make him a complete freaking
DORK!! In SFA1 he was arrogant("Shouldn't you be crawling to a
hospital about now?) But now, man...Well here are his quotes.
"You know what?! I've you on a chain! Ha! HA! HA!"
"There's something you should get to know better…Your limits."
"Perhaps you lack the discipline necessary for you to win."
"What a cool move… You style possesses some worthy qualities.
"Bushin style tends to overwhelm opponents…
"Senseless killing does no appeal to me. Leave my sight."
"The eyes of a Bushin… No movement can escape them!"
Guy has a different entrance when he's in a fight with Cody. A bunch
of barrels will fall around him and he'll have his back turned. On the
other side of the screen Cody is messing up his barrels, Guy does his
Hurricane Kick and destroys all the barrels in one shot. He loses life
but there is some food he eats to recover it all back(Just like in
Final Fight). A little plus is, if you have this on the PSX and you're
doing survival mode and you fight Cody later, this will give you full
health no matter how low it was before.
Taunting: Everyone loves to taunt right?! Well the easiest way
is...After a fp flip throw, A Dashing Elbow, a punch super, or a combo.
For Guy's taunt he turns away from you(I love those kinda taunts),
raises his arm then puts it back down(like in his win posistion with mk
or mp).
12. Thanks
Well I got input from some people so I wanna say thanks to Greg
(gdawson@angelfire.com)for some combos and the Strong Punch anti air
technique, and Kao for the translations.
I hope this helped you and made you realize there are better people
then the Shoto-dorks. Email me at
