Update: Capcom has released a trailer showing off Guile and his new move set in Street Fighter 5. You can also see his Air Force Base stage.
Original report: Street Fighter’s iconic brawler Guile will be released as a free Street Fighter 5 download later this month – until the Zenny shop opens – and will receive his own set of Trials and Character Story.
His Battle Costume will be available for free to all Season Pass holders as well.
Guile comes with a few new moves, notably the ability to enter a crouch walk state called Faultless Move, allowing him to keep his charge while moving forward.
V-Skill: Sonic Blade
Guile spins up sonic energy to create a Sonic Blade which acts as a stationary projectile that can also juice up his Sonic Booms. Sonic Blade can really help Guile pressure opponents on their wake-up or help him win projectile battles as it increases Sonic Boom durability.
V-Trigger: Solid Puncher
Guile powers up and tosses out continuous Sonic Booms! Each button throws a Sonic Boom at a different speed, so mixing up between buttons can create interesting Sonic Boom sequences. Depending on the sequence used, this can act as a great combo extender, be used to overwhelm opponents or easily push his opponents to the corner.
Critical Art: Sonic Hurricane
Guile’s most devastating attack, the Sonic Hurricane! Guile powers up and hits his opponent with a massive, multi-hit Sonic Boom. This Critical Art receives a damage and range boost while his V-Trigger is active.
AIR FORCE BASE STAGE
The jet receives a new coat of paint and you’ll probably recognize some familiar faces cheering you on in the background. This stage will be available in the Shop for 70,000FM. Season Pass holders will receive this stage for free.
