Talk: A Touch of Guile

Revision as of 22:21, 22 June 2008

Trivia

I removed the note about this skill "likely" referring to the Street Fighter video game character, Guile. The two have absolutely nothing in common. "Guile" means crafty or deception. Another possible reference could be to the Orson Welles film "A Touch of Evil," though I have no basis for that connection. Further trivia notes on this skill should be accompanied with better evidence.--Ninjatek 17:17, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

At first, I thought it was just a coincidence. But when I saw in game that it was a reward for the first Norn Tournament quest (you also get "Finish Him!"), I thought otherwise. --Heelz 19:40, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

When i first read the skill name i immediately thought of Guile from Street Fighter. Couldn't it just be a "The word Guile could be a possible reference to the street fighter Guile"?

Why not just say "The street fighter Guile could be a reference to the word guile, which means crafty or deceptive"? 128.120.187.221 01:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

This is very likely a reference to Guile from Street Fighter if you consider the context of the tournament. Magni the Bison is a reference to M. Bison, the boss from street fighter 2, so there is no reason why "A Touch of Guile" cannot be a play on words using Guile's name. GW-Infinity 22:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I vote that this skill has a change in use. It should be more like "For 2...6 seconds, target foe is Sonic Boomed each second, and take 100%....200% damage, and throws their controller on the floor out of aggravation"

feective against Kanaxai?

You move like a dwarf and then this. Would it work pretty ok?

It ought to.
