Guile informs Charlie that they do not need to be there any longer, as an aerial bombardment will begin in an hour. He eventually finds the Shadaloo base in Thailand. Guile demonstrates his fighting ability, and assures Chun-Li that he will not let their friend come to harm. Guile's search eventually leads him to the Interpol investigator Chun-Li, who warns him not to follow Charlie due to the danger involved. Guile is sent by the United States Air Force to look for his senior teammate and best friend Charlie, who has gone missing during a secret investigation.
#Street fighter 4 gulie series
In the Street Fighter continuity, Guile was not introduced to the series until the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3, where he is addressed as "Commander". Guile learned the style, but his hot temper caused him to be not as proficient in the moves as Charlie was (shown in how Charlie can shoot Sonic Booms with just one hand while Guile needs both.) When Guile was a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, he befriended his superior officer, Charlie and asked him to teach him in his unique form of fighting, which Charlie agreed to do. In Street Fighter IV, if Ken beats Guile, he'll refer to him as his "brother-in-law". However, this is not often discussed because, despite mutual respect as fighters, they do not think very highly of one another - Guile believes Ken to be a spoiled rich kid Ken feels Guile is just another meathead soldier(which is shown in Street Fighter II V). Also, Julia and Eliza are actually sisters, making Ken and Guile brothers-in-law. Guile has a wife, Julia ,and daughter, Amy. In Street Fighter IV Guile's Alternate costume is Charlie's costume. Guile wears Charlie's dog tag alongside his own, as he searches for Bison. The image of the uniformed American soldier is well-known in Japan due to the number of United States Armed Forces bases present in that country. Capcom source books suggest that Guile's famous hairdo is styled with a special-order army hair spray to keep it up (though he ends up fixing it quickly after a match).Īnother way Guile's image differs from the Asian combatants in the series is his flag of the United States flag tattoos on each arm, which is a retcon from the initial one he had in Street Fighter II artwork (due to sprites in most video games being forced to be symmetrical).įinally, Guile's military fatigues complete his all-American look. It is relatively realistic in Street Fighter II, and impossibly tall in SVC Chaos: SNK vs. The length of Guile's hair varies greatly from appearance to appearance.


His physical appearance is strikingly different from the many Asian characters in the Street Fighter series, with light blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a particularly tall flattop haircut. Early Street Fighter II sketches and notes suggest that Guile was developed specifically to appeal to American fans.
