    Here are what I think Gouken's match ups are, though it's just my opinion. I've given reasons for ones that may be controversial:

    Gouken

    T. Hawk: 7-3 ( mp hadouken > T. Hawk )

    Dan: 6-4 (Very easy to zone)
    El Fuerte: 6-4
    Hakan: 6-4
    Ibuki: 6-4 (Can easily get out of/punish kunai vortext)
    Juri: 6-4
    Balrog: 6-4
    Guile: 6-4
    Chun Li: 6-4
    Zangief: 5.5-4.5

    Cody: 5-5
    E.Honda: 5-5
    E. Ryu: 5-5
    Gouken: 5-5
    Ken: 5-5
    Ryu: 5-5
    Yun: 5-5 (used to be very bad, now that yun is neutered perhaps not so bad)
    Oni: 5-5

    Sagat: 4.5 - 5.5 (Pretty even match up, but gouken has bad reversal for dealing with knee pressure and no two hit fb)
    Sakura: 4.5 - 5.5 (I think gouken's ability to zone sak makes up for sak's ability to pressure, mostly)
    Rufus: 4.5 - 5.5
    Yang: 4.5 - 5.5 ( Don't really know, but haven't really lost to any yang's since 2012 )
    Fei Long: 4.5-5.5

    Makoto: 4-6 (don't know much about this, but zoning makoto's is easy enough)
    Akuma: 4-6
    Rose: 4-6
    Guy: 4-6
    M. Bison: 4-6
    Seth: 4-6
    Adon: 3.5-6.5
    Blanka: 4-6
    Dee Jay: 4-6
    Abel: 4-6
    C. Viper: 4-6

    Cammy: 3-7 (can't zone,good pressure)

    Gen: ?-?
    Vega: ?-?
    Dhalsim: ?-?

    My opinion not based on my skill. Based on the best out there

    Dhalsim :

    7-3 Gief
    7-3 Hawk
    6-4 Ryu
    6-4 Dan
    6-4 Honda
    6-4 Rose
    6-4 Cody

    5-5 Vega
    5-5 Guile
    5-5 Gouken
    5-5 Sagat
    5-5 Sakura
    5-5 Blanka

    Everyone else is 4-6 or worse. Notable horrid 3-7 or 2-8 matches are cammy, akuma, yun, Viper and chun-li. He isn't very good. The Super Sim was a contender as a solid B tier but he was hurt badly since then.

    Blanka

    Free

    T. Hawk: 7-3(possibly 8-2)
    Gouken: 7-3
    Dan: 7-3

    In blankas favour

    C. Viper: 6-4
    Dee Jay: 6-4
    Oni: 6-4
    E. Ryu: 6-4

    Even


    Abel: 5-5
    Akuma: 5-5
    Dhalsim: 5-5
    Dudley: 5-5
    E.Honda: 5-5
    El Fuerte: 5-5
    Gen: 5-5
    Guy: 5-5
    Hakan: 5-5
    Ibuki: 5-5
    Juri: 5-5
    M. Bison: 5-5
    Rose: 5-5
    Rufus: 5-5
    Zangief: 5-5

    Not in blanka's favour (slightly)

    Ryu: 4.5-5.5
    Ken: 4.5-5.5
    Makoto:4.5-5.5

    Hard going


    Balrog: 4-6
    Chun Li: 4-6
    Cody: 4-6
    Vega: 4-6
    Sakura: 4-6
    Seth: 4-6
    Guile: 4-6

    Rapeage

    Sagat: 3-7

    No opinion

  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Guile

    Free as a bird:

    T. Hawk: 3-7 (If Guile is on form, just no way in)
    Dan: 7-3 (Non fireball shoto = free to Guile)
    Dudley: 3-7 (Dudley has great trouble getting near Guile)
    Dee Jay: 3-7 (Guile completely decides tempo of match and can force deejay to approach whenever he feels like)
    Gen: 3-7 (Gen has virtually no way in, air throwing wall dives are especially humiliating I've heard)

    Easy enough

    Cammy: 4-6 (DB > Cammy, also cr hp OS)
    E.Honda: 4-6 (At least Honda can apply a lot of pressure if he does get in)
    Gouken: 4-6 (If a top Guile is on form Gouken's not getting near him)
    Guy: 4-6 (Guile seems to have an answer for everything Gut tries)
    Yang: 4-6 (by reputation- I haven't played any)
    Yun: 4-6 (ditto)
    Cody: 4-6 (If Guile can keep him out- and he can- its a tough match)
    Vega: 4-6 (Rare match where Guile can almost attack mindlessly)
    Rufus: 4-6 (cr hp OS is amind game all to itse;f against Rufus)
    Ryu: 4-6 (Ryu pwns at close range but a lot of Guiles stuff shuts him down)
    M. Bison: 4-6 (better than it was, but still difficult)

    Even (or thereabouts)

    Adon: 5-5 (From personal experience, dunno how the pros rate it)
    Balrog: 5.5-4.5 (hate this match. hate hate hate. But I think an on point Guile can win.)
    Chun Li: 5.5-4.5 (Comes down to mind games once Chun gets U1)
    Hakan: 5-5 (not much experience)
    Ken: 5-5 (Classic SF4 Guile match, Guile owns at distance, loses badly up close. Becomes game of tag.)
    Makoto: 5-5 (Same as Ken)
    Sagat: 5.5-4.5 (Guile has a sweet spot where his normals kill Sagat, not as bad as it used to be.)
    Sakura: 5-5 (same as ken/ makoto)


    Getting tough...

    Blanka: 6-4 (unblockables, ch knockdowns, blankas who say this is even are talking out their arses)
    El Fuerte: 6-4 (makes Guile guess. All good Guiles hate guessing)
    E. Ryu: 6-4 (any unmetered fireball with endurance owns guile.)
    Fei Long: 6-4 (Not as bad as it was, removal of CH nerf to Guile makes it much easier)
    Juri: 6-4 (Juri can be tough in 2012)
    Oni: 6-4 (See E Ryu)
    Rose: 6.5-3.5 (Not as bad as some make out, patience can win this match)
    Zangief: 6-4 (Though maybe I just need to adjust to new SPD range).

    FFS:

    Abel: 7-3 (Guile knockdown + abel OS = guile loses)
    Akuma: 7-3 (Guile's so free to Akuma on wake up it's silly)
    Ibuki: 7-3 (Same as Akuma)
    Seth: 7-3 (Too many mix up options means even Deiminion throws out random FKs against Seth :( )

    Pick another character:

    C. Viper: 8-2 (Everything is a guess. There's very little a Guile can do against her)
    Dhalsim: 8-2 (without his super meter, Guile just cant compete with Sim.)
    Guile: (10-0 to the Guile who shades of victories first)

    You have them the wrong way around DooM (Except Dan and the 5-5s)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭Misty Chaos


    Juri

    ( note: These are based on me using ultra 2, I have never being a fan of her ultra 1, despite the buffs it got in AE2012 )

    T.Hawk: 7 - 3 ( Juri's zoning completely destroys T.Hawk ability to get in, with T.Hawk having to use meter to get in, which was only a AE2012 innovation )

    Abel: 5 - 5

    Adon: 5.5 - 4.5 ( A well timed s.mk can stuff ALL of Adon's dive kicks )

    Akuma: 4 - 6

    Balrog: 4 - 6

    Blanka: 4.5 - 5.5 ( Juri can easily stuff blanka balls with well timed pokes but the match is still slightly in blanka's favor imo )

    C.Viper: ? - ? ( I honestly haven't played enough good Vipers to pass properly judgement )

    Cammy: 4 - 6 ( Cammy's damage buffs in AE2012 hurt, still nowhere as bad as it was in Super )

    Chun-Li: 4 - 6 ( On simple reason: ex-lightening legs into Ultra 2 )

    Cody: 4 - 6

    Dan: 5.5 - 4.5

    Deejay: 4 - 6

    Dudley: 6 - 4

    E.Honda: 3 - 7 ( Horrible, horrible match up for Juri. It's always being one of her worst matchs up imo )

    El Fuerte: 5 - 5

    E. Ryu: 5 - 5

    Fei Long: 5 - 5 ( Juri is quite capable of keeping him out and Fei Long is quite capable of getting in )

    Gen: 5.5 - 4.5

    Gouken: 4 - 6

    Guile: 4 - 6 ( Nowhere as bad as it was in Super )

    Guy: 5 - 5

    Hakan: 5.5 - 4.5

    Ibuki: 5 - 5

    Juri: 5 - 5

    Ken: 5 - 5

    M.Bison: 4 - 6

    Makoto: 5 - 5

    Oni: 5-5

    Rose: 4 - 6

    Rufus: 5-5

    Ryu: 4.5 - 5.5 ( Mainly owing to SRK>FADC>U1 )

    Sagat: 4 - 6

    Sakura: 3 - 7 ( The other really bad match up for Juri following Honda. She walks too fast to properly zone, hits like a truck and can keep the pressure on without mercy )

    Seth: 4 - 6

    Vega: 5.5 - 4.5

    Yang: ?? - ??

    Yun: ?? - ??

    Zangief: 4.5 - 5.5
