Now with added sagely beard

Legendary fighter Guile is back in Street Fighter 6.

Summer Game Fest has just kicked off and so has a new combatant for Capcom’s upcomingStreet Fighter 6. Yep, the U.S. Air Force’s finest, Guile, is back. Like some other famous Street Fighters from back in the day, he’s only gone and grown some facial fluff too. Does it deflect blows or something? Judge for yourself after watching the trailer.

The brief battles shown tonight were enough to see that Guile’s still got it. Facing off against already-confirmed to be returning classic characters like Ryu, Capcom showed Guile’s Sonic Boom, and even his traditional comb-bothering animation. It’s a bit jazzed up these days though.

Capcom also revealed the new gauge-based Drive System, which unlocks new defensive and offensive moves when filled. Probably my favourite introduction with the new game is the real-time commentary feature, and Capcom say they’re working with names from the fighting game scene to make you feel like you’re at EVO.

Think you’ll be choosing Guile on the character select screen when Street Fighter 6 arrives next yeer?
