him 30th on a similar list in 2010, and The Guardian gave him the high seventh place in the list compiled by Ryan Hart, the UK's top SF player. In 2012, Complex ranked him as the seventh swiftest ninja in games. In a 2018 worldwide poll by Capcom, Guy was voted 20th most popular Street Fighter character (out of 109). Guy also became often one of the characters most requested to be added to the Capcom games' characters rosters. On the official Capcom forums, he was most requested Final Fight character to be added to the roster of Street Fighter IV, as well as the second most requested character overall to be added to the game. In 2009, GamesRadar too included him in the list of 12 fighters they would like to see in Super Street Fighter IV. According to the game's developers Takashi Tsukamoto and Taisaku Okada, they have "compiled a list of characters that players wanted to see in the game [and] Guy was one of the names on the first list" in both Japan and America ("he's pretty popular overseas as well") and the development team "also wanted to get Guy in the game". He also ranked 10th on the list of top 55 most requested Marvel vs. Capcom 3 DLC characters in a poll by Nico Nico Douga in 2010. In the English-language survey by Namco, Guy was less popular than in Japan and was the 23rd most requested Street Fighter side character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter. He also entered the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition'' as the first beat-'em-up game character to be included in a 2D fighting game.
