Now Guile... that's a turtle lol! Although if you come across an offensive Guile, things could get very very ugly Yeah... his outfit is even the turtle colours lol I used to be offensive with him and turtle. Mixing between these too make Guile so good and difficult for people to adjust to imo. HAHA turtle colors!!!

Blastaar Posts: 804	I ususally define a turtler as someone who absolutely WILL NOT launch an offensive. The only time there's a remote chance of them being offensive is when they are really really really far ahead. In fact...here, this is the true def of a turtler. As guile he was defensive, but then turned to a turtle. As Blanka he was a full turtle. Does this look fun? (sorry about the frame rate):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv1ZZQ1sqRI

It is a whole different world to learn to constantly charge and can be a bit daunting. The few that leave the nest, so to speak, are the ones that get deadly. The super aggressive Guiles, Blankas, and even worse, the Balrogs. Many are new to the franchise and can expect this style for a while I guess. Playstation Network name= Sonarghost (capital S)
