Guile

A Major in the United States Air Force, he leaves his country and family to enter the World Warrior tournament to avenge the death of his friend Charlie, who was killed by M. Bison, the tournament’s sponsor.

In all versions of Street Fighter II Guile’s stage is set on a United States Air Force airbase with an F-16 fighter jet in the background and a large, smashable wooden crate on either side. It is assumed the developers designed the stage this way to reinforce the fact that Guile is in the United States Air Force and not in the United States Army Aviation Branch of the United States Army. The F-16 was chosen in particular due to the real-life presence of F-16s on USAF airbases in Japan, therefore making it one of the most recognized planes in Japan.

The Art of War

The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC. Sun Tzu suggested the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions.

If something must be destroyed, destroy the source. (釜底抽薪, Fǔ dǐ chōu xīn)
