Maybe later lol. I misread a portion from the interview though. To clairfy, Guile's appearance is in fact modeled after Polnareff, including the clothes, lack of eyebrows, and his hair was originally vertical as well. When his sprites for SF2 were being made, the pixel artist at the time decided to mess around by stretching his hair sideways. The team thought it was funny and decided to give him, as they put it in the artbook: "the always distinctive Stroheim look." So I suppose it's more correct to say Guile is Polnareff with Stroheim's hair.
