Something I happen to stumble upon on youtube. Back in SF2, Guile was a combo beast. Now the beast is unleashed once again in SF4.

Never really played with Guile, but knowing he has combos like that I might consider it.

i was wowed when i watched this at the beginning of the year, then when i realized how impractical they are to actually do in a match, i was slightly dissapointed but tbh ryu/ken/akuma/sagat/rose/viper/gen all have crazy combo strings like this (there is probably lots of characters i left out but from what i have actually seen those characters)

Two observations...

• Whats up with the weird turbo button jab thing going on?
• I bet a lot of these combos are invalid - he's clearly using a second controller as a dummy opponent which never blocks.  I'd like to see this video done again against a properly configured training mode character.

Only thing I could honestly pay attention to was the fact that this guy kept punching for no reason after every combo.

"Guile combos. Mashing jabs is homage to TZW ultimate Guile. "

hope that answers the turbo jabbing question.

and the fact that he shows the Combo count on the end of each combo proves the fact that they are "do-able" and the fact that Sean Gilley posted this video on January 09 (which is before the release of the game) which mostlikely did in arcade. plus this is a combo exhibition, not a match...

the jabbing is to keep you from moving backwards in case you want to throw a sonic boom close blank. the jab also mask a charge and protects self from turtle tossers. this was a SF2 basic when top players beast Guile then. this also works for anyone with a backward forward charge. to verify the combo is real, look on the right or left of the screen, it shows the combo count. the combo count stops once the opponent is allowed a neutral rest or block, any split second greater than zero. all those combos were done on the Japanese arcade cabinet where of course cost about a dollar to play per game."

Nobody said those combos are fake. We just said that they would never work (or VERY rarely) against a real player."

As good as those combo vids are (and thats all the vid is really), it doesn't inspire me to want to play him on a serious level.

maybe this will?

These combos aren't impractical if you have good execution.

DUDE, are you kidding me with the air throws?!
Vega has an air throw, too.  I gotta get to trying this stuff.

I wish I was that good with Guile.

The combo's are totally bonafide if your execution is good enough, and it's not done in training mode because it was done on an arcade machine.

All I know is that I'd rather play a guile like this than all those damned turtles out there...That is the only reason I HATE Guile.  This video shows that he isn't just a defensive character.  He can bring the heat to your front door, lol.

ah, alright. Thanks for the clarification. "

Yeah you won't see alot of combo's like that in a match, but it still takes alot of skill to pull those off. I'm also figuring a few of those are character specific combos. I have alot more respect for combo videos like this then I do those crappy dizzy character combos.
