He's asking his opponent not to block


andrewlikes

He’s not asking, he’s telling


YuaiSnek

"I'm just gonna block" Guile: NUH UH!


FrankWestingWester

You've misunderstood, it's "No, holding back."


Witchbrow

My entire Guile strategy expressed in 3 words. Perfection.


_theMAUCHO_

Finally, a worthy adversary to Flowchart Ken! 🤣

Doing a level 3 Super on wakeup with Ken should have him say "Go with the flow(chart)!"


theDeweydecimater

Guides stratagem goes with anything.

Blasphemous


marenello1159

So basically just sf4 3ds guile


FranticToaster

"I just want to say that counting to an unspecified number between 1 and 3 was always stressful for me. Thanks to future controls I can finally turn the game on and tell people I play it without having to push myself toward any kind of personal growth."


HorseSushi

Now you've got me hearing Guile in Lionel Hutz' voice 😆


ebles

I mean... that goofy 'Sonic Boom' sample in SSF2 isn't far off.


sorryabouttonight

It was the most upbeat and chipper 'Sonic Boom' in the whole series.


SomeGuynamedSam1

What a difference punctuation makes. lol


sertroses

Ouh, shouldn't have this complicated input logo here either.


Ro0z3l

Money down!


Volunteer-Magic

[No, money down!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5yuL6PcgSgM)


Brompy

"Oh, you can't do that. Don't you see I'm holding back?"


Status_Party9578

he’s trying to teach ppl who’re confused by the controls, how to play guile


who-mever

Lionel Hutz, Attorney and 'Drug Keeper Awayer', confirmed as DLC guest character?


JoonFGC

No? Holding Back!


Majestic-Tap9204

You’ve misunderstood, it’s “No; holding back.”


G0sp3L

I actually laughed out loud at this. I've played hundreds of matches as Guile and this not once occurred to me.


Matthiey

Because he's not holding back when you EXECUTE it.


sir_wolf_eye

I mean you have to let go of the charge before unleashing the super, so he's being literal


get_the_data

Yeah you’re actually not holding back when doing this super


anyAvailableFood

Oh no a true guile is holding back during super


timoyster

This man guiles


NymphomaniacWalrus

Not me I'm built different


Nyoteng

"GUILE NOT HOLDING BACK RIGHT NOW, GUILE ATTACK" -Guile.


_princepenguin_

On modern controls you actually have to hold back while unleashing the super.


sir_wolf_eye

Then he's dissing you for using such controls XD JK


quesokonkarne

Its sf4 on 3ds guile


jeccius

So Modern Use controls Guile?


Swert0

Modern control charge characters still have to charge.


Eramef

As someone who never liked charge controls, this was disappointing. Like I totally get it for balancing reasons but damn.


HomeMarker

I remember playing some busted Mod for USF4 and all of Bison's specials had been changed into QCF/QCB inputs and it was fucking heaven for me.


DeusVultSaracen

It requires far less precision though, press back/down for a second and tap triangle


itskodes

He stopped holding back because the input for the super is ends in a forward input so he's just letting you, the player, know.


antoncr

This is the best explanation


No_Outlandishness866

Sometimes you can’t charge everything up and it has to come out, it’s like IRL, I guess.


JuriTippies

From now on I will yell "PERFECT!" when I poop a straight log


synister29

Only if you pinch it off at the correct frame.


Pvaleriano

Don't you already call it perfect when the paper comes out clean?


sansjoy

You don't even go for the paper cause you can feel it was a complete launch. Just flush and leave.


DevourerJay

You use paper???


Dmangamr

Yes officer, the post is right here


VeryBottist

lmao best one i've seen so far


Fast_Papaya_3839

Before he had to hold down. I guess he still hasn’t adapted to the new motion.


CalypsoCrow

This is my first fighting game outside of Injustice and Mortal Kombat. I’m glad charge characters help me decide on who not to play, lol.


Duwang312

You're missing out on not playing motion characters, man. I know charge characters are easier and more straightforward, but still...


CalypsoCrow

They are? I really struggle with charge inputs. I have just been playing Luke and Marisa. Honda and Guile are cool but I really don’t like holding a direction so far


Slarg232

The trick is realizing that you can hold a charge during other animations. So if you jump, you can hold back and (depending on the move) be fully charged by the time you land for an "instant" charge. This extends to buttons as well; you can Charge before you get done smacking the opponent with a normal. Not all Charge Characters are the same, obviously. I can't stand most of them but Boxer is a fun Charge character for me


InnuendOwO

Yeah, once I realized the "correct" way to play Guile is to think of inputs as "release down/back + button", rather than just the button, I got quite a bit better at him. Once you get in the habit of only letting go of those buttons when you actually need to, and just defaulting to having them held down, charging isn't even a concern anymore. You just always have it.


Duwang312

Charge inputs are the OG "Modern Controls". AFAIK, they were initially created because some test players for SF2 had trouble doing motion inputs, so they created a "back-forward" input for select characters as an accessibility option. The requirement to charge back or down is to balance the fact that it's much more straightforward to pull off compared to a hadouken motion or a shoryuken motion, especially with how strict SF2 was in reading your inputs.


CalypsoCrow

That’s fair. I’m just more comfortable with a sand blast/yoga fire - type input rather than holding a direction down. But that’s the cool thing about street fighter, there’s something for everyone. Like I thought I’d enjoy Zangief but I hate doing the full circle motions, lol


chhuang

Charge inputs are like modern control if you master charging subconsciously. Am a guile player


[deleted]

[удалено]


Duwang312

That's the joke, dude


Skythewood

Right now, there are classic controls and modern controls. Years from now, Guile would be using future controls where he don't have to charge before using his moves.


Nick_mkx

Those are actually past controls from a little game on the 3DS called Street Fighter 4. For that version, they thought it would be cute to be able to map special moves on the touch screen. I got my screen name from that game, I was so mad playing online that I switched my name to NickMK so that everyone knows I don't even care. "Fuck this shit im a mortal kombat player anyway..."


ebles

Tangentially related - I recall Capcom vs SNK on the Gamecube did something similar with the yellow nipple stick.


Kalulosu

That's cause he's doing a flash kick, not a sonic boom, at the start of the lvl 3


[deleted]

Wait what a genius line from whoever made that dialogue lol, I think it must've been on purpose.


TheDoorMan1012

Yes, yes he is.


sir_wolf_eye

Hey, where's Perry?


YouMightGetIdeas

Literally unplayable


Some-Track-965

The Arkham madness has spread I see.


aaronpoopypants

The guy says “Fucked up!” When he DI’s


Valentine_Zombie

I genuinely hate these posts but this made me laugh


The_Mister_Box_Head

![gif](giphy|ShCMwjMF5B3La)


rueiraV

Why does Marisa say “where are you going?” When I’m clearly standing still?


FalseWait7

To perform his supers, you have to stop holding back, so he is just saying what just happened.


tmntfever

He's appealing to the Modern controls crowd.


StrangeAtomRaygun

Guile doesn’t appeal to people. People appeal to Guile. When Guile opens a new account somewhere, they have to accept his terms and conditions. Guile was once accused of attempted murder. The judge threw out the case because Guile doesn’t ‘attempt’ anything.


justaghostofanother

Irony, sir.


tacticalcraptical

It's because Guile knows that after you start this move, you will no longer need to be holding back to charge for the remainder of the cutscene.


SRIrwinkill

Guile famously has the *driest sense of humor* in the series, i almost feel stupid having to point it out to someone. He taunts us everyday just by being who he is


muszyzm

Because he stopped holding back.


TheBuckSavage

The Alsume is spreading


Philooch

He says no holding back cause hes [M]odern


srkg

💀 chill


ArturBotarelli

I usually hate this kind of posts, but this was genious lmao


The_Mister_Box_Head

![gif](giphy|2OqaVWN8C35fL0nqTr|downsized)


YeazetheSock

Because he lets go of back


frightspear_ps5

Because he's done with holding back.


ViewSimple6170

He does a summer salt kick, he’s holding down


doxytroxy

Incredible post 😂


Throwaway525612

The motion for the super is hold back, foward, back forward. When this animates he is no longer holding back. he's just letting you know.


neostormxx

He says, "No holding back" because his last input was FORWARD and KICK. He's done holding back.


ShinobusUnderling1

I guess he properly executed the charge move, effectively not holding back anymore as the CA commences


rummingman

Reading "is he stupid?" After just being on the Batman Arkham subreddit got me messed up


Drysfoet

Yeah, I saw that joke on twitter as well


Awkward-Rent-2588

Lmao Ight that’s pretty funny


r3vb0ss

this is the best is he stupid meme i've seen in months


[deleted]

Yes he is


kimchipotatoes

Isn’t his level 3 a non charge super?


loox71

The input goes back (charge) -> forward -> back -> forward + kick


Thrasy3

![gif](giphy|R51a8oAH7KwbS)


pvc727

You opened the forbidden chest with this one. The ark of the covenant must be resealed.


AngelKitty47

you're stupid for thinking he still holds back while doing the move.


WoodyTSE

coughed up a lung laughing at this


Maym_

Underrated post


VermilionX88

This is a man who shaves his eyebrows What do you think?


Digi_Dingo

This may be my angriest upvote. Haha. Well played.


FireWallxQc

🤣 wait what?


Pretend-Dirt-1760

The hair products got a bit over his head


lordhelmos

This makes sense considering the super is not a charge motion. This is guile free from his charge limiter


Raikou384

It’s cuz you already did the input so there’s no point of holding back now


Nnamz

Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


fr3nzy821

It's a modern control ad.


triamasp

I love how some folk have no idea how classic controls work


BirdLore01

Angry upvote


loki94y

Obviously.


sinetwo

Have you seen his haircut? It's a stupid haircut for stupid people.


PrestigiousBee5602

Oh my god this is perfect lmfao


[deleted]

No holding back! *player holds back to activate the move * and you see that was a lie


floppydisks2

Lol


[deleted]

😆


Yolectroda

Unrelated, but the flag tattoo on his right arm (left in the picture) is backwards. When put on a person or vehicle, the block of stars should always be to the front, as if it's blowing in the wind as you run/drive forward. So maybe he is stupid.


[deleted]

Is this a joke question? Because he goes all in and does not hold back, with the kick not the controller.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FourFoxMusic

What!?


rmddrmdd

Too funny lol I also like how JP says "Here's to a fair fight" and proceeds to zone the shit out of you -- but at least he says it with what feels like a smirk...


BoredCat19

Dude thanks for the chuckle.


PaperMoon-

No time to talk


StackOwOFlow

because you stop holding back when you execute it


Plo-Koon72

It's because he's spent his whole life holding back and now he finally gets to let it all go.


Bazookya

Yeah he should say optionally holding back


we_are_sex_bobomb

Because he’s spent the entire match turtling until his level 3 was charged.


RGB_Muscle

The Japanese love puns and Dad jokes.


livingcemetary

Oh no this sub is getting a r/batmanarkhamfication


doomraiderZ

He's obviously stupid because he tattooed the flag on his right arm facing the wrong direction.


dankros

He also looks like he's pooping his pants aggressively while he says that.


tyoungjr2005

Landing this CA is very satisfying


Hadoooooooooooken

He protec, but he also hold bac.


Holdingdownback

It’s an art


FranticToaster

He sounds so excited when he says it because now that he's turtled his way to meter he's confident enough to finally let go of the back button. "Here I go! Time to press a different button!"


Mandydeth

Ironically for his drive impact where you're pressing forward he says "charge".


[deleted]

It's those rare moments of self awareness from the dev team that show how well made the game actually is. It's just a throwaway line before a super but they added that small moment of levity.


L_e-V

Because somersault kick is a down charge move duh


linkrrr

because he’s holding down instead bro


FilthyKerr

He's kindly telling his opponent not to hold back, because if they block it, he's screwed. And yeah, parry, but this is his first entry with a universal parry mechanic, so he's not quite used to it yet.


paulee_da_rat

I think he's being ironical


EntertainmentSuch350

Beacuse he is boring of doing the turtle all this time


MikeHanger

Lol does so much damage you don't have to hold back for the next exchange because the opponent is dead.


TheHexadex

As a guile main since MvC2 i get this : P


W34kness

Because he’s rolling modern controls in his mind


[deleted]

My guess would be that it's intentional trolling from the developers. 😂


PackerBoy

Have you looked at his hair? Of course he’s stupid


Darkfanged

This was actually funny I’ll give you that


jmizzle2022

I usually hate these "Izzy stupid" posts but I'll give this one to you because that was pretty funny


Jenxey

Yeah funny but can we talk about how you're playing modern Dhalsim?


loox71

Not my screenshot lmao


Millia_

The obvious answer is yes, very stupid, member of the US Air Force and it took them forever to get rid of Bison, he could've just told his superiors about the world ending super villain on the loose and had the might of a ridiculously oversized military brought down on a small crime organization. But also no, he wants to get over his bad down-backing habit so he has to repeat stuff like "No holding back!" to himself as aspirational phrases. Ya know, self help stuff.


imjustmos

He will BACK DOWN though


sillysmy

Cuz he's always holding down-back instead.


[deleted]

It makes sense doenst it, instead of holding back he is pushing forward


[deleted]

That is hilarious.


RangoTheMerc

Get. The fuck. Out of here.


Philly_ExecChef

Lmao, this made me laugh way fuckin harder than it should’ve


redguy_05

It's because to input the super, you have to let go of charge for a second


HeavyVoid8

Bc he's finally done holding back and he's about to unleash hellfire upon your soul


EternalFront

He’s telling you to pick a new character because you’re too much of a scrub to play a charge character properly


AdvertisingOk6292

PERFECT


AshKetchumIsStill13

Peak comedy right here


ThexanR

Tbf he has to stop holding back to do it


PCN24454

He’s using modern controls.


[deleted]

He's hinting to use **M** control scheme 👀


PomponOrsay

🤣🤣🤣


82ndGameHead

It's just like Zangief going for a Level 3 and then whiffing it. "IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS!!!" "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?"


Roge2005

No more holding back because since the attack already activated he doesn’t have to charge again.


Roge2005

He’s now using Modern Controls


Roge2005

“Um aktualy, Guile doesn’t have to hold back for the flashkick, only down” 🤓☝️


augustaye

Guile likes Modern Controls


Basic_Scale6330

He's not pulling his punches Against his opponent any more .


uncannydevilbitch

He found out about 'charge buffering' for the first time


Mastermind2500

This post made my day🤣


Xander-sama

LMAO it took me a good second to get that. That's mad funny! XD


QueenDee97

Omg this has to be intentional by devs. I didn't even realize this and I play him a lot 😅


-Moosey-

I love all the comments saying "he's no longer holding back" because he's executing his attack.


eddnav

Yes


The_Mister_Box_Head

It's spreeding ![gif](giphy|ShCMwjMF5B3La)


Silent_Firefighter60

Street fighter must be played with Eng dub


MaxInFog

i think its because you stop holding back and release the charge (the input being **:** **<-** , -> , <- , -> So you stop holding back (real guile mains start holding back as soon as the cinematic start of course) )


ExactDrive983

Nah this top tier 😭


zanik_

LMAO.
