Guile Is Street Fighter V’s April Downloadable Character

Sonic Booms abound in April as Capcom revealed its latest Downloadable character for Street Fighter V. If you haven’t guessed, it’s Guile, the man with the physics-defying hair.

Guile playstyle will definitely feel familiar to fighting fans who have used the Sonic Boom specialist. Here’s an official description for his special moves by Capcom:

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 Punch
Guile powers up and tosses out continuous Sonic Booms! Each button throws a Sonic Boom at a different speed, so mixing up between 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.

Gamers will also receive the first DLC stage, the Air Force Base, which is basically the same stage from Street Fighter 2 but includes a modernized version of Guile’s theme.

Guile will be available for free until Capcom updates the game with the Zenny shop. The Air Force Base stage will be available for 70,000 Fight Money or free for Street Fighter V season pass owners.
