Street Fighter 6 has revealed Guile as an upcoming character added to the roaster.
Summer Game Fest kicked off with a reveal of Street Fighters 6 gameplay footage showing the classic character. "Guile returns in Street Fighter 6 when it lands in 2023," teased the trailer description. "He went home to become a family man, but now a new mission awaits. Guile’s move set in Street Fighter 6 combines his signature moves with fresh additions. He is one powerhouse of a character who retains his ability to keep opponents at a distance."
Guile was previously seemingly confirmed in a recent leak, which revealed most of the Street Fighter 6 roaster. The trailer showcased many of Guile's iconic moves such as Flash Kick, Sonic Boom, Sonic Blade, Sonic Hurricane, Solid Puncher and a brand new Super Art move, Crossfire Somersault which is an aerial slash followed by a Somersault Kick. Besides his traditional moves and classic blond flat-top haircut, Guile boasts a brand-new outfit -- denim overals with a sort of white sweatshirt underneath and the sleeves rolled up to show his massive arms.

Your Moment. Your Fight."
