SSF4 AE 2012: Beehol's Option Select Guide for Guy (part 1)

[hmongboi206]

So helpful. Love the videos keep it up!

[Renulph]

If anyone wants to help teach me Guy, add me on Live - my ID is "Airlock Holmes." I just got this game yesterday.

[Smangerbot]

this video is fucking brilliant. metro city 4 life. lots of godlike tech on display all over the place.

[TheWordChaos]

love how you just call DJ's jacknife maximum ''hey hey hey''

[Raiden3651]

Guy wins. 

[RoninOkami]

ha genesis music.... nice. In all honest guy is about mid low tier... playing guy comes with high risk/reward gameplay.

If you can gauge a opponents spacing you have a edge because most opponents find themselves not able to control the range guy can assault at.. overall the problem is obviously the high risk side of the house if you play him to recklessly that's your ass.

[FiasaPower]

Oh dude, thank you SO MUCH for share knowledge with noobs like me! It will be SO helpful since I can do good combos and pokes with Guy, but I really don't know what to do in both meaty and wake up game.

Great soundtrack collection also!

Best regards.

i like the 007 goldeneye music playing lol

[thewarrior195]

BTW, I'm not trying to belittle this vid. Great tech here, great work finding it and then publishing it for the less innovative Guy players, like me lol.

[thewarrior195]

Man, Guy is still so low tier (I'm a Guy player). I haven't watched the full video, but watching that OS against Honda was disappointing. The non-EX butt slams, I think, is a better trade for Honda. I waste a meter, for less damage than the Honda player and I lose positioning. :/

[gazpalmer]

@thewarrior195 there are other OS, slide OS will go under his butt slam and setup combos from the other side. Or you can hold up back, if he does buttslam you can land air bushin throw ;) Still a great video... I mean, you don't have to jump vertically either, vs Cammy etc, dash x 2 then apply grounded OS from there.. for example, low lp, slide OS. Guy has many options!

[Nexttimeillwin]

@gazpalmer Bro, check out my past Guy vids... I'm not some Guy noob, man. I know Guy has many options.

[Nexttimeillwin]

@gazpalmer Bro, check out my past Guy vids... I'm not some Guy noob, man. I know Guy has many options.

[monkeywolf]

@Nexttimeillwin Beehol why do people assume you are a scrub when you are one of the best Runxxstop pressure Guy's in the business? Wish you did more tourneys cause you deserve the recognition.

[gazpalmer]

@Nexttimeillwin I never said you were a scrub, "bro".  The video is excellent. I was just pointing out that you don't have to use the jump OS everytime... Feel free to check my vids too. The comment wasn't left for you either.. u mad?

[Nexttimeillwin]

@gazpalmer This video is based on air based option selects after run slide... reason being is because it bypasses a lot of reversals other than shoto reversals... or 3 frame reversals. Regardless, your comment is a lot of information I already know. I was purposely trying to find the best ONE option select you can do on each character, stuffing the most amount of moves. The best ONE option select on Honda is EX Hurricane. Why not slide? Because EX headbutt owns slide, bro.

[Nexttimeillwin]

@thewarrior195 "Man, Guy is still so low tier (I'm a Guy player)." Such a funny comment. If you don't like Guy, stop using him. If he's so low tier that you can't handle him, just don't play the character. Use high tier, it'll better suit you.

[thewarrior195]

@Nexttimeillwin Are you denying that he's low tier? Why the elitist comment? lol And way to use that one statement out of context. Got some good argumentative skills there.

[Nexttimeillwin]

@thewarrior195 Haha, I just hate how you act like he should be high tier. You chose to play the character, he's low tier. Don't complain about a character you play when you can easily just change your character. Guy is low tier, I happen to LOVE that he's low tier. Let's keep him that way.

[thewarrior195]

@Nexttimeillwin Well just because you love him that way, doesn't 'mean everyone should. It's also a false dichotomy to choose between high tier, and low tier. Why not just mid tier, where you have to work hard for the win, but not so much where you have to be so precise in bad situations?

[sleepnabox]

@thewarrior195 all i want is fadc ex tatsu and more blockstun/hitstun on elbow drops. thats all i fuckin want. I've bitch for so long playing with guy but i can't bring myself to just drop him. i like the amount of tools he has and the fact that winning with him is more so a display of the players skill. Picking up Evil Ryu while keeping Guy on deck is my current move.

[FiasaPower]

@thewarrior195 Well, I main Guy since Alpha2, and he was always underused due to his complexity. Why should things change now? I can understand all complaining about SSF4's Guy flaws, but now he got fixed the most.

He is still difficult to play with because he was meant to be this way since they brought him into the game. This is Guy's way, and I always loved it!

Sorry for bad english.

Best regards.

[XESHADOWX]

Yo that facility level!

[gandido]

Try out c.forward option select vs. Viper. Works wonders for when they do EX Burn Kick.

[gazpalmer]

@gandido yeah and you can os it into other options too.. 

[MagnusGoGo]

EX "Hey! Hey! Hey!", Regular "Hey!"

Haha, fucking genius! Very informative video, man; excellent work. Keep it up! :D

[Lonesoldier89]

Just what I needed to level up my game thank you

[memoguti]

Excellent video man, you have some really great ideas and OSs that I could've never thought they worked so well, like MP Hozanto against Dictator or MK Tatsu against Makoto.

[lolroflomginternet]

fantastic stuff, guy needs more exposure

[antlp89]

Freaking awesome. Thanks for the vid dude, will have to study up to level up my Guy.

[grubba2000]

the song that starts at 8:35, i dont think its listed, and it brings me lots of memories, cant remember from wich game it is from

[Nexttimeillwin]

@grubba2000 Sorry, I'll list it. It's from Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha! :)

[grubba2000]

@Nexttimeillwin oh Darun`s theme i think

[Feldschleimer]

Dude, thanks to you I want to play Megaman X so hard.

[elwooodblues85]

awesome stuff my friend!

[hnn124]

Good lookin out beehol!

[drjuste]

dude you are the awe of the word awesome!

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

When can we expect part 2? My friend plays a mean rushdown E.Ryu! For now I imagine he's a bit like Akuma? Ultra 2 makes me nervous with safe jumps as it can be a nasty wakeup sometimes.

[Nexttimeillwin]

@welcometoGARYVILLE Expect within the next hour or two... almost finished with it. Sorry to say though, Evil Ryu doesn't have a good option select to deal with him due to his 3 frame shoryuken. Just gonna have to bait it out... like Ryu or Ken.

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

Wow, this is an incredible Christmas Present, thanks Beehol. Been having trouble with Guy against Bison so I don't have to switch to Cody so much now I know this :)

[SuperHeartie]

Thanks a lot, great work =]

[MasterBoris86X]

Final Fight 2 SNES music ftw.

[JxL3G3NDx]

GREAT JOB MAN LOOKIN FORWARD TO PART 2....LETS GET IT BUSHIN FAM!
