Guile Notes (Mika-centric)

his vtrigger is 3 bars, must mean his vskill is legit

- can setup to hit meaty, easy side switch
- disappears on hit

the input for flash kick to super is way easier than in sf4
s.LK > s.MK Target combo pretty fast, builds charge

+ on block
s.MP
s.LK
s.LP

Neutral
c.LK

vs Mika
Dropkick
	* w/Charge, easy flash kick
	* b.HP on reaction
	* f.HP as a poke cc's the charge
	* HP leads to the most damage, can cc on reaction

c.HP
	* Whiff punish with flash kick
	* Dodges guile's f.HP

f.MK
	* whiff punish low with sweep or c.MK
	* Whiff punish with f.MK

EX Peach
	* Absorbs flash kick; second hit of EX whiffs
	* Can go through Vskill before guile can throw boom
	* If armors through boom, Guile can cancel into VTrigger and EX Flash Kick/Super

Peach
	* Eats normals, or trades favorably for Mika
	* Peach can poke guile through VSkill, but Guile can block and force mika to get hit by the mark


AntiAirs
c.HP/s.HP
		* Trades with j.HP, beats j.HK
		* Can be baited by divebomb


Airthrow
		* Good against most options if close enough
		* Divebomb may cause it to miss if guile jumps back


Flash Kick
		* Does it's job, HK somersault can cover jump ins made from less than half screen


Punishes
Stomp Chop TC
	* LK Flash kick can only punish upclose
	* EX Flash kick works from more ranges, but not max range

EX Peach
	* Full punish with s.HP into link combos

Peach
	* Punish with s.HP if blocked during upward arc
	* Punish with c.MP if blocked during peak
	* If Blocked during downward arc, can only punish with c.LP xx Flash kick

Wingless Escape
	* Guile can airthrow EX wingless

Divebomb
	* On Block, Punish with s.LK TC or c.LP

Defending Vtrigger Mixups

	* c.HP activation on guard
		* Normal flash kick can escape throw and trade/w nadeshiko vs crossup attempts
		* EX flash kick can escape throw and beat crossup attempts

	* Corner
		* Has to guess like the rest of the cast, but has the option to EX flashkick
		* Mika-side dropkick assist will hit any version of Flashkick


Sonic Booms
	* React-able with EX Peach or Slide, but have to be close
	* Peach can hop over but requires a hard read
	* Dropkick goes over but requires a hard read
	* Extended hurtbox allows slide to catch Guile from further out. Goes under booms and can check Guile's advances
	* Full screen jab Sonic boom leaves time for Mika to whiff Typhoon for meter gain
	* VSkill can be safely used fullscreen to absorb Fierce boom if Guile doesn't have meter to EX Boom

Sonic Cross

	* Beats Dropkick, Peach, and EX Peach
	* Breaks armor from VSkill
	* Can still slide underneath


Fighting Guile

Effective Whiff Punishes
b.HP backfist

	* Standing normals can whiff punish from more ranges
	* c.MK works but Mika has to be just outside of range to catch it

c.MK

	* Can't be whiffed punished by s.HP
	* Hard to low crush with f.MK
	* whiff punishable with c.MK with careful spacing

Anti Airs
     c.MP

	* Reliable against all frontal jump ins. j.LK can potentially trade in Mika's favor

	* Beats j.LK, j.HP and rewards with knockdown

     c.MK

	* Risky; loses to j.HK

     s.HP

	* Reliable against all frontal jump ins, but gives less advantage than c.MP

     Wingless

     Ex Wingless

	* Also reliable against jump ins from further out


Punishes
     s.HK

	* Low jab punish if in recovers range
	* Super Punish from any range

     Sweep

	* Most reliable punishes: c.HK or EX Peach

     Flash Kick

	* Crush Counters on recovery; even for non-EX
	* Charged Dropkick can punish all versions if done right after blocking
	* EX can be punished with neutral jump combo or charged HK after blocking

     Super

	* Punish with jump in combo

     VT Super

	* safe on block
	* Always pulls Mika in range to v-reversal

VTrigger

	* Don't stand fullscreen or Guile can spam to setup offense
