Tournament will officially start on 14 February 2011. I chose to start this thread first to prevent any questions people may have about it from cluttering up The Lair. Anyhoo the rules are as follows:
1. 24 hours for each bout.
2. Bouts starting on Friday will continue until Monday
3. Give a reason, any reason for your selection's victory in the bout.
4. No deus ex machina will be allowed
5. Six votes for victory. Should time expire before a team reaches six votes the team ahead wins. Ties will be decided by random draw from among those participants who have voted on the bout. They will be given 12 hours to confirm their vote.
6. Certain competitors will have their available tech decided by myself. (In other words Han Solo has his blaster, and a certain Starfleet officer has his phaser. They will not however have access to their respective ships or crews).Continue with round 2 of the tournament? 8 votes

Sonic boom is not a super power, it's artistic license of being able to whip your hands at lightning fast speed. Guile doesn't believe in any of that noncy focusing your chi crap.
Of all the Street Fighters, to be fair, the family man is probably the least powered. They even call him "the man with 2 moves" because of it.cyberwolf77 wrote: »yes, my countryman made the cut. He even got a decent partner
Here's hoping he gets to tell a few people to go home and be family men.
Especially if they're women.0 -

NoI distinctly remember jumping over his little whirly yoke from the other side of the screen... sounds fishy to me. Fishy.
As I said, artistic license.
Guile is supposed to be the master of a unique martial art which involves whipping your arms and feet at incredible speed. That's what the boom in a sonic boom is. In game terms (switch off here if you don't like fighting games) the sonic boom makes Guile unique as it has a charge start up but virtually no recovery, so Guile is able to use it defensively and be extremely safe or offensively mid combo (very rare for a projectile).
Anyway... THIS version of Guile was so badass he didn't even need the boom, just the flash kick
But non jokingly, this is the version we're talking about here. Not supernatural, just total brick wall.
