Summary

Konoha's Sublime Green Beast of Prey, Might Gai, is one of the more explosive fighters in SCON4. He boasts the fastest jab in the game (tied with his protege, Lee, but with better range), numerous flying screen combos, and the invincible gate-release reversal, all of which help Guy to mash to his heart's content and keep the enemy on the defensive. His charge guard breaks instantly, giving him a uniquely strong okizeme game. While he gained a slower, tracking overhead teleport kick in Super, he lacks projectiles or any great "cheap" options at range. Still, his high HP and damage give him a youthful leg up as he rushes down the competition.

Strategy

5B and 5BB: Great for stagger pressure and tick throw but loses to fast high crush moves, and the second jab has really poor range that it’s almost never going to win after a clash and it’ll even sometimes whiff after the first jab is blocked.
5BBB and its follow ups: The safer and faster follow up after the second jab. It is punishable on block, but continuing the string can beat the punish attempt. Great for adding in your 5BB stagger pressure. However, delaying it too much will lose to the opponent’s immediate fast high crush moves after 5BB is blocked. The only follow up you should consider on block is 5BBBB, which is Guy’s 8B. It launches on normal hit, and on block you can continue with both B and A to try to escape, but can both be punished.
5BBA and its follow ups: Extremely unsafe on block by itself, and anything after that can be punished accordingly if the opponent is looking at the screen. If Guy doesn’t continue the string, the opponent still has plenty of time to recognize that and punish it because the recovery is way too long. The saving grace for doing this after blocked 5BB is that it’s a mid and doing 5BBAY will launch the opponent immediately if the opponent tries to do fast high crush moves. 5ABAY is your main combo filler, but if the opponent KNJs after 5AB you can be stuck in the kick animation that has really long recovery and Guy doesn’t have Hyuuga cancel to save him. The A follow up, which is an uppercut, has a hitbox in the back so it can catch the opponent off guard when they KNJ and try to punish your whiffed combo.
Unique anti-KNJ tech:
8A: A tracking teleport kick that gives a combo if the opponent fails to tech roll. It hits the opponent’s back when both characters are facing the same direction, making it a great anti-KNJ tool that covers both RKNJ and LKNJ and potentially gives a combo. If the opponent tech rolls, immediately do a charged 4B can guard break the opponent and get a huge reward.
5B: One of the only jabs that can truly punish LKNJ when done immediately after turning around, but it has a strict timing and can be hard to pull off online.
Punish game:
5B is i11, which is the fastest jab in the game, can punish a lot of stuff that other characters can’t, but the move has a really high hitbox. 5A is a i15 mid jab that will cover punishable moves and landing that low profile 5B, but it’s slower and has worse range.
