After Mike
Haggar was elected Mayor of Metro City and vowed to clean up the streets,
Guy and his training partner,
Cody, set out to fight Mad Gear and rescue Cody's
girlfriend, Jessica. After the events of Final Fight, Guy continues his
training which is now nearing completion, and eventually the grandmaster of the
Bushinryu style, Zeku, acknowledges him as a worthy potential successor to the
art. However, there can only be one grandmaster at a time, and Zeku reveals that
they must now fight to determine who shall lead. Guy ended up winning the battle
and became the 39th heir to the Bushinryu art. After the battle, Zeku warns him
of an evil force which threatens to corrupt the world, before disappearing. Guy
resolves to defeat the evil that his predecessor warned him of. In the SF6
timeline, Kimberly invited herself to
become Guy's student.
It is soon evident that the evil that Zeku spoke of is Shadaloo, and Guy sets
out to destroy it. In his investigations he encounters a mysterious woman named Rose,
who is determined to destroy Shadaloo's leader, M.
Bison. Guy attempts to dissuade her from her quest in an attempt to protect
her, but she continues on regardless. As Guy continues in his search for
Shadaloo, he encounters his old friend Cody. However, the reunion is not a happy
one... Cody, restless for streetfighting, has been unable to adjust to a life of
peace. He has become a merciless vigilante, has been locked up for his violent
rampages, and is now an escaped convict.
Guy realizes that Cody's fight against crime was never motivated by justice but
by a love of fighting; the two then have their own battle but after they both
calmed down, Guy accepted that his friend had to live his own life. When Guy
asked if Cody would stay in Metro City, he replied that he still had traveling
to do and the pair continues their journeys. Guy bids him farewell, realizing
that deep down inside, Cody is still a good person. Guy is later confronted by Maki,
who challenges him for his title. Guy does not acknowledge her as worthy,
however, and the fight is not a death match. Soon Maki is forced to concede
defeat, but asserts that she is not about to give up.
During the events of SSF4, Guy decides to target S.I.N. and eventually
runs into Cody, who once again escaped from prison. The two face off in a duel
and although the result is unknown, Cody continues on his way, leaving Guy with
the words "people change - I've changed, you've changed".

The contrast of old and new is
what makes Guy a great and badass design. His fighting style and attire,
although modern-looking, is still based off of traditional Ninjitsu, among other
traditional strong martial arts. Nothing but a cool and perfect recipe
for a hit fighting game character. This beat-em-up bad boy was so cool, he
casually arrived in the Street Fighter series without anyone expecting it. A Final
Fight fan setting their eyes on Guy for the first time, in Street Fighter?
Now, that was a good day.
I was really glad Capcom brought
him back in Super Street Fighter 4. He deserved that return, and it
helped popularity for his design. Guy was also one of the best-looking SF4
characters, I might add. Everyone knows that, right? "Eternal
Sadness." Great English voice actor. lol. Seeing Guy's style transfer over
to Kimberly was also a pretty cool
thing to happen in 2023. Guy's legacy lives on! C'mon Capcom, let's have Guy in SF6.
