Guy seems very casual and/or demeening. It is not formal at all. Man is more polite and shows more respect. "That guy cut in front of me!"
"The kind man helped me."

Where I live "guys" is a neutral or masculine term for a group of people, even if they are female. Singular guy is usually in reference to a man or someone who's sex is not known (such as if you are talking about some person on the internet). Man refers to one male and is more formal. If you ever call a person who identifies as female "man," they probably won't be very happy.
