Bio
Guy has mastered the art of 'Bushin'-style Ninjutsu and isn't afraid to use it. Teaming up with his sparring partner Cody and Mayor Haggar in Final Fight, the three set out on a brawl across Metro City to save the former's girlfriend and latter's daughter respectively from Belger, the leader of the Mad Gear gang. Guy justifies the challenge as a way to put his skills to the test.
In the original Final Fight, Guy is the speediest playable character. His quick attacks and movement can be used by the player to their advantage, covering up his weakness as least powerful of the three. An off-the-wall jump can catch thugs off-guard, launching Guy towards them with a long-range kick. His special attack, the Bushin Whirlwind Kick, is an airborne spinning kick that makes quick work of nearby enemies.
Guy is also a fighter in the Street Fighter Alpha series, on a quest to find the greater evil, M. Bison. His constant incentive is to become a stronger fighter, seeking out his master in order to become the next Bushinryu leader. His supers are different here; the Bushin Hassoken is a combo of different punches followed up with a kick, and the Goraikyaku is an aerial combo which takes the opponent upward and then delivers a kick back down to earth.
