Guile’s back in Street Fighter 6—and he’s got a beard
Today at Summer Game Fest, Capcom revealed the next roster addition to Street Fighter 6: the sonically boomin’ American hero himself, Guile.
…look, I know. We’ve seen 95% of the game’s roster at this point already thanks to leaks. But, you know, just pretend to be a bit surprised so Capcom can feel a little better, okay?
According to Capcom, here’s a rundown of his core moveset in SF6:
- Somersault Kick (Flash Kick) – The classic backflip kick
- Sonic Boom – Guile’s main projectile ability
- Sonic Blade – A stationary aerial slash
- Sonic Hurricane – A massive aerial slash that lands directly ahead or diagonally upwards
- Solid Puncher – Fires a flurry of small Sonic Boom projectiles
- Crossfire Somersault – A brand new Super Art that fires a massive aerial slash followed by a devastating Somersault Kick
Street Fighter 6 is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC next year.
