Notes on how Guile uses Sonic Blade — combo routes, pressure, whiff punishes — to be added.
How to Counter
Sonic Blade (Guile's placement move) sets a vertical slash and can be sent as a Sonic Cross with a follow-up input.
- 214LP — close placement
- 214MP — mid-range placement
- 214HP — far placement
- 214PP — OD version, 2-hit
Recommended counters
- Walk forward when you see the setup — approach during the placement animation
- Watch for Sonic Cross follow-up (additional P): walk-guard to deal with the combined projectile
- If blade is layered at the corner on wakeup, Drive Reversal is an option — Parry also reduces risk
