I’m not sure you could call Guile’s average movement a pro, considering his stats and abilities don’t allow him to take advantage of it. As a rush tank, he doesn’t stand close enough nor have enough health to shield against anything that isn’t Floating. As a mid-range tank, his health is still too low, and his debuffs won’t make up the difference because of the chance of multi-hit ruining it. Even if the first hit in his combo could inflict status, it still wouldn’t be enough to justify him considering anti-Floating Rares and Supers already control most Floating by themselves, and Guile doesn’t have the qualifications to be used against the few Floating they don’t trivialize.

The idea that Guile doesn’t need to inflict status on enemies who get pushed by his first hit is hard to wrap my head around. Brollow would be completely unfazed by Guile unless they were so buffed that he couldn’t knock them back with the first hit, and the Bun-Bun variants could also greatly benefit from Guile’s shortcoming due to their many knockbacks.

Finally, though this should go without saying, Guile lacks any noteworthy features other than his abilities, so there’s no chance of him being a generalist.

Feel free to disagree with my lecture, either partially or in full. You’re also free to do what you will to Guile’s page. I’m not about to declare an edit war over an Uber who’s already out of style.
