Guile likely to be April's DLC character, Capcom's Matt Edwards shares info on latest Winner Stays On broadcast

Posted by John 'Velociraptor' Guerrero • April 5, 2016 at 3:35 p.m. PDT

Matt Edwards, Fighting Games Community Manager for Capcom UK, released a bit of interesting information on this week's Winner Stays On session in London.

Edwards has had at least a little behind the scenes time with unreleased characters in Street Fighter 5, and he had some intriguing words about the next fighter to join the SF5 roster. When asked when the next character would be released, Edwards replied by stating,

"I don't know the exact date, it should be Guile, but I don't know the exact date."

If this is indeed the case, the line up image that Capcom gave us appears to order the character releases. If things follow in suit, we should get Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Juri and then Urien.

I hope it's not the very end of April, but I'm not going to be surprised if it is.

I think this might finally be the Street Fighter where Guile gets more than 2 special moves (Excluding V-Skill and V-Trigger obviously)

i hate this release order

Kvothe said on April 5, 2016 at 3:38 p.m.

Honestly if they know the order they should just confirm now and avoid the barrage's of "Juri next". Not like they are doing reveal trailers anyway..

edit.. oh yeah this is capcom PR we are talking about.. nm..

Not really hammered about Ibuki but Urien and Balrog ? Sure ! Iam very curious how Capcom tried to implement a Boxer into SF5's new fighting mechanic,etc.

LightningGoza said on April 5, 2016 at 3:39 p.m.

Release date April 31st confirmed.

Kairosbland said on April 5, 2016 at 3:40 p.m.

Which means no Juri until August

I'm not salty. You're salty. I've never been salty ever. Not once.

Don't release the 3 boring characters first FailFish

MrPingPong said on April 5, 2016 at 3:44 p.m.

I'm not interested in playing Guile but I am interested in what his vskill and vtrigger will be. If he's always had only 2 specials (I think, I don't know that's just what I've always seen people say) what would his vskill be? Just a stationary sonic boom or something? Sunglasses? And his vtrigger too? I'm also interested in seeing if his sonic boobs are going to be as quick to recover as in past games.

#9
Cammystrike said on April 5, 2016 at 3:48 p.m.

Damn Juri is so far off then.

#10
killer_kalmah said on April 5, 2016 at 3:48 p.m.

The good thing here, is that at least we will not gonna have to wait till April 31 cuz April only has 30 days, YEAH!

#11
TWBGreatness said on April 5, 2016 at 3:49 p.m.

juri should be next honestly

#12
ruu39 said on April 5, 2016 at 3:49 p.m.

Hmm his "sonic boobs" recovering fast huh?

#13
Kvothe said on April 5, 2016 at 3:50 p.m.

His v-skill will be sunglasses and his v-trigger will be a montage of Nash memories in the form of a sonic boom that stuns the opponent with a confused boner on hit (chicks can have boners too). His taunt will be upside down sunglasses, they needed something new hip and cool.

#14
Rice said on April 5, 2016 at 3:52 p.m.

April 30th it is then.

#15
floorwalker said on April 5, 2016 at 3:53 p.m.

I have a feeling Guile will be played like how Nash used to play like in past games.

#16
gandz said on April 5, 2016 at 3:54 p.m.

Yawn, get some more interesting characters in this game already.

#17
shakunetsu said on April 5, 2016 at 3:54 p.m.

I think its time for guide to get another new special move..

#18
Ozyroth said on April 5, 2016 at 3:54 p.m.

April 30th / May 1st Hype!

#19
Kvothe said on April 5, 2016 at 3:55 p.m.

I don't disagree, just want to avoid the heartache if this is really their order..

#20
TWBGreatness said on April 5, 2016 at 3:56 p.m.

i can agree with that

#21
SlashmentEXE said on April 5, 2016 at 3:57 p.m.

Is he gonna come out on the last day of the month like Alex? May as well of said May instead. lol

#22
Bearzerker said on April 5, 2016 at 3:57 p.m.

They probably give him 1 motion special so they can avoid having a charge motion for his Critical art.

#23
stillgaming said on April 5, 2016 at 3:57 p.m.

Finally!! (cue Guiles theme song) da da da dadaaaaaa da da da da da daaaa, EVERYBODY!!!

#24
ChaosArchangel said on April 5, 2016 at 3:58 p.m.

Makes sense. I bet Guile has pretty heavy significance in the story considering what happened to Nash.

... But all I care about are Juri & Urien!

At least it gives me time to focus 90% on Rashid with some sprinkles of Dhalsim till then.

#25
ArcadeRobot said on April 5, 2016 at 3:59 p.m.

NO!! I want Juri to be next 😈

#26
BumbleBee said on April 5, 2016 at 3:59 p.m.

Or 31st rather...Yeah, i went there.

#27
CalamityKing85 said on April 5, 2016 at 4:01 p.m.

Sorry for your luck.

Get a job with Capcom and show them how it's done,Champ.

Jaded_Buddha said on April 5, 2016 at 4:05 p.m.

Guile yeeeeeeee my man

#31
Rambro said on April 5, 2016 at 4:05 p.m.

I think guile's v-trigger should have him put on his glasses. When activated he should do more damage. It should also stay activated until the end of the round like necalli

#32
WaifuFightersII said on April 5, 2016 at 4:07 p.m.

Like i said, they should have released it when they were ready because like last month is gonna be at the very end of the month or the beginning of May. Whenever Juri is getting announced I'll get the season pass.

#33
masquedmonk said on April 5, 2016 at 4:08 p.m.

Can't see the archives but that sounded like such a casual name drop, lol.

mechmaster90 said on April 5, 2016 at 4:09 p.m.

We know the drill, April 30th.

#35
Gamefreak said on April 5, 2016 at 4:11 p.m.

Best character coming out last. Hopefully Urien is worth the wait.

#36
Maximum_Viper said on April 5, 2016 at 4:11 p.m.

Nah his V-trigger properly will be the big sonic boom that if they gonna make it from his existing moves.

#37
R4HU1_SHOTO said on April 5, 2016 at 4:14 p.m.

If you guys know anything about game development and QA testing its likely to be the end of April for Guile's release date.

#38
VanCityPlayboy said on April 5, 2016 at 4:16 p.m.

I wanted Guile furthermore it will be the week April 24-30

#39
VanCityPlayboy said on April 5, 2016 at 4:16 p.m.

Hence why I said the week of April 24-30

#40
BumbleBee said on April 5, 2016 at 4:17 p.m.

One thing i noticed is when Alex was released the majority of people did apprecaite his gameplay, being faithful to his original counterpart (minus DDT, obviously) and criticized the hell out of his looks (also understandable, *insert your McDonalds joke here*). When they let Guile out of the bag,i can't wait for people to start saying things, like : "Boooo, what are those new stupid moves he got (Remy's kick, anyone ?) ! I wanna play as that "classic", 2-bit, plain Guile, just like my grandpa did !!!" It'll be hilarious.

#41
VanCityPlayboy said on April 5, 2016 at 4:19 p.m.

I just wish Capcom would put out some teasers in the weeks before instead of waiting for so long

#42
LuckyKoopa said on April 5, 2016 at 4:22 p.m.

Well, Capcom did put out images of Alex a week or so before his release. Guile will probably be the same way.

Capcom Unity post followed by a trailer on his release day.

#43
Dimensional said on April 5, 2016 at 4:23 p.m.

Well at least its the two I care least about out the way first, well I dont care much about Urien either tbh but slight more than Alex and Guile who I both really dont like and never have.

Just waiting for Juri really tbh this season anyway. Drop Blanka, Sagat and Makoto next season though and I will be hype.

#44
FightDirty said on April 5, 2016 at 4:24 p.m.

Capcom plans to release the three most interesting characters last. They know what they're doing. Though I'd prefer to see Ibuki, Juri & Urien sooner rather than later.

#45
masquedmonk said on April 5, 2016 at 4:26 p.m.

It doesn't matter to me what the order is but having two SF2 characters in a row, maybe not for the best. At least we can only hope one plays different.

#46
MN7 said on April 5, 2016 at 4:27 p.m.

Or until dantarion cracks it?

#47
BoscaBat said on April 5, 2016 at 4:27 p.m.

Tbf we already got a look at Guile like in the banner..he'll prob be identical to how he always was, but his v-skill and v-trigger will be completely new additions to his moveset..well I'd hope considering how little he already has.

I really hope Ibuki comes out in May..I'm not into the idea of waiting til July, but I guess someone has to wait. I'll not hold it against Balrog if Haunts just kept ordering it wrong lol.

#48
LuckyKoopa said on April 5, 2016 at 4:28 p.m.

Yet they dropped the (arguably) most anticipated one first.
Looking at the Season Pass characters, I figure two things:

1. Alex and Urien, the two most requested, would be dropped first and last respectively.
2. Guile would be out before the story update, because Nash.

I also figured that either Balrog (Gameplay change) or Juri (popular name) would be EVO month's big release.

#49
Combolammas said on April 5, 2016 at 4:29 p.m.

2 special moves and V-skill sunglasses. Man, I would laugh.

#50
J said on April 5, 2016 at 4:32 p.m.

Can't wait for April 36th.

#51
chunbelievable said on April 5, 2016 at 4:32 p.m.

Dash kicks ala Omega Guile... There's his motion move set. Boom and Flash Kick will be as always. V-Trigger will remove the charge for his moves for a limited amount of time. No clue on the V-Skill...

#52
Cakie said on April 5, 2016 at 4:32 p.m.

If they released the three most hyped up characters first (Which honestly, is either Alex, Urien and Ibuki or Alex, Urien and Juri) Then the games hype thats not based around tournaments would die faster, Guile is also essential to the story of the game, so he would need to be released before the story mode expansion in june.

#53
BlackMasamune said on April 5, 2016 at 4:33 p.m.

Guile will be released April 30th, 11:59pm.

#54
Ranshi said on April 5, 2016 at 4:33 p.m.

April 31st!

#55
el_Principe_de_Lety said on April 5, 2016 at 4:34 p.m.

Wow, way to release the two most boring characters first. I'm playing USF4 until Juri is released

#56
Kenshiro said on April 5, 2016 at 4:38 p.m.

I knew it! My main man is coming soon...

#57
Blade4693 said on April 5, 2016 at 4:41 p.m.

Ugh...why do we have to get Guile next? He has been in like every SF game ever, can we please get one of the characters who have been around less like Juri, Urien, or even Ibuki?

Pretty much agree with what @el_Principe_de_Lety said. I almost didn't even get the game on launch because I really only got it to play as and learn Juri, but I decided I would get it and learn it so I would be familiar with the game when she comes out...but it looks like ill be waiting for a while :/

#58
VanCityPlayboy said on April 5, 2016 at 4:42 p.m.

I hope his CA is his Sonic Hurricane or his super flash kick

#59
AriesWarlock said on April 5, 2016 at 4:45 p.m.

Capcom, why not release a SFIII character, and then a SFIV one next? Symbolism, man.

And I need that Juri pls.

#60
Cael said on April 5, 2016 at 4:49 p.m.

Please, no. I want Juri next.

#61
Jaded_Buddha said on April 5, 2016 at 4:53 p.m.

V-Skill = Brush Hair
V-Trigger = Shades

Why play guile when Nash has all the tools you'll ever need...

Hopefully sometime next week some screenshots will come up

#68
TWBGreatness said on April 5, 2016 at 5:14 p.m.

i hope capcom jp proves this guy wrong seeing how he is unsure

#69
SSfox said on April 5, 2016 at 5:21 p.m.

I was hoping for Boxer, but nvm just have to wait another few months, as a Tekken player that won't be a huge deal thought

#70
KiX said on April 5, 2016 at 5:22 p.m.

I agree, it definitely sounds like he just mentioned Guile rather than actually gave solid info. I'm taking this with a grain of salt until then.

Pun totally not intended.

#71
SSfox said on April 5, 2016 at 5:28 p.m.

I still hope he's wrong^

#72
gmarr87 said on April 5, 2016 at 5:33 p.m.

If you guys want an idea for how guile will be in sfv, just look at omega mode in Usfiv

#73
RandomSelectMaster said on April 5, 2016 at 5:36 p.m.

Next year, please do two DLC per month, so that people will be balanced out lol.

#74
KMTwetworker said on April 5, 2016 at 5:37 p.m.

Yes!! No more chasing Nash. I just hope they kept that satisfying straight he had in SF4 as well as charge Boom.

I would also love if they gave him Flash kick with DP motion and the ability to cancel into air-grab.

Super should be motion like Chun.

Happy,Happy,Joy,Joy.

#75
Shinpaisuru said on April 5, 2016 at 5:39 p.m.

Guile theme goes here!

Most likely April 27 which is close to April 30 but like I said the week of April 24-30

Can't wait to hear his SF5 theme

#81
Druggzbunny said on April 5, 2016 at 5:49 p.m.

Really hope Guile is next, since I don't care about any of the other characters except for maybe Juri.

AMERICA!

#82
Binho said on April 5, 2016 at 5:53 p.m.

I wonder if we'll get any new characters further down the line.

#83
LuckyKoopa said on April 5, 2016 at 5:56 p.m.

A few things in regards to this post.

1. Guile is confirmed to be charge.
2. All characters will likely have motion supers.

#84
tenderoni said on April 5, 2016 at 6:05 p.m.

In SFXTekken Guile's voice sounds like he is saying "sonic boob". LOL!!

Guile vs Nash matches gonna be epic!

#87
Agentownshiprebelion said on April 5, 2016 at 6:13 p.m.

It will be very interesting to see how Guile plays and looks in SF5. Really wish Juri was next though.

#88
LeonX said on April 5, 2016 at 6:19 p.m.

Well the most interesting characters only from July to September...

I understand why Capcom will do that :) Guile and Balrog are important to the true story mode coming in June :) And then back to the coolest characters \o/

#89
stillgaming said on April 5, 2016 at 6:19 p.m.

April 30th, 11:59.59sec

#90
NovaPanda said on April 5, 2016 at 6:26 p.m.

I'd like to know first how Guile's fireballs and movement are gonna be. Nash is already crazy with how some are playing him, I'd rather have him be like a really slow moving wall with His unique attacks giving him movement. I wouldn't like how the Mets would if all the characters are suddenly dominated by Sonic Booms

#91

NOOOOO... I wanted to have Balrog first!!!

This is a foolish statement. Thats like saying why play ken when you can play ryu. Or why play ryu when you can play ken

#98
HooliganComboFTW said on April 5, 2016 at 7 p.m.

Lol people b1tched at the Alex posters when it's literally the same for each DlC character,. Look at how many Juri posters here for one

#99
Lets_Get_It_Mat said on April 5, 2016 at 7:03 p.m.

For those complaining, guile is getting released early due to his popularity... Why you think Alex was first???? because of his popularity.

Guile is an iconic sf character. He gets released 2nd cause he got world warrior privelage.

And some of ya over here talking about juri and urien?????..pls lol. they 2nd class citizens comapred to ST roster.
