Guile is the first of many characters to introduce the "charge" gameplay style, in that a player must hold in a direction for a few seconds and press in the other afterwards to pull off a special move. This type of gameplay makes Guile a defensive character. Guile wears [[Street Fighter Alpha/Characters/Charlie|Charlie's]] dog tag alongside his own, as he searches for [[Street Fighter II/Characters/M. Bison|M. Bison]]. | ||
Early Street Fighter II sketches and notes suggest that Guile was developed specifically to appeal to American fans. His physical appearance is strikingly different from the many Asian characters in the Street Fighter series, with light blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a particularly tall flattop haircut. Capcom sourcebooks suggest that Guile's famous hairdo is styled with a special-order army hair spray to keep it up (though he ends up fixing it quickly after a match). | Early Street Fighter II sketches and notes suggest that Guile was developed specifically to appeal to American fans.
