Guile
- Debut: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
Guile at one point was considered to be the most promoted star of the franchise due to his “American” appeal. He is a major in the United States Air Force, and his entire goal in the franchise has been to take down the Shadaloo. This led to him being one of the main characters in initial storylines when he debuted, as well as the main character in the Street Fighter movie. In fact, Jean-Claude Van Damme played him in the film. While Guile’s cool factor has diminished a bit, he’s still incredible to play as in the games. He also remains a central figure in the franchise to this day.
