Standing Medium Punch not only combos from Guy's Light Punch attacks, it also combos into Heavy Punch, making it an ideal close to mid range attack. It has poor reach, however. It can be cancelled into EX Hozanto, another Special Move, or his Super.
Crouching Medium Punch can cancel into Bushin Senpukyaku (his Hurricane Kick) or the EX version of his Hozanto (shoulder slam).

HEAVY (ROUNDHOUSE) KICK
(ANTI-AIR) Standing Heavy Kick is fairly fast for a Heavy attack but will completely miss a crouching opponent at any range. It can also be used as an anti-air. Against a standing opponent, this is Guy's farthest reaching normal poke.

COMMAND NORMALS
ELBOW DROP
IN AIR, DOWN AND MEDIUM PUNCH
Guy has a long and very floaty jump, which can normally make any jumping on Guy's part easy for an opponent to reposition for a counter. The Elbow Drop keeps opponents guessing, as it allows Guy to drop straight down from a point in his jump arc, hopefully surprising the opponent.
(OVERHEAD)NECK BREAKER
FORWARD + MEDIUM PUNCH
The Neck Breaker is an overhead attack. It starts up and recovers pretty slowly, but it is still useful in his mix-up game to keep your opponent from crouch-blocking too much.
NINJA SICKLE
DOWN FORWARD + HEAVY KICK
- Can follow up with Ex Hozanto for 220 damage combo.
- In corner, can follow up with Hurricane Kick, Super Combo, or U1 Combo (must hit deep though)
- Safe two-hitter (beats Focus Attacks) since Guy backflips away.
