M. Bison is back and he plays like... A.K.I?

[@pkcoffee33]

"I wasn't interested in [Character] before, but they're actually looking pretty interesting in SF6" seems like a pretty common sentiment from a lot of people for a lot of returning characters. Capcom must be doing something right.

[@EdwardFeinho]

He had an overhead in OMEGA mode in SF4 and if i remember right it was from his kick special move that he could link into it, link normals with it and even reflects projectiles with it, wich was insane.

[@oOYourdadOo]

Happy to see another SF4 player.

[@4days604]

The detail of some of bisons moves not being so confident or almost unexperienced is amazing to me and really sets in the fact that this isnt the M.Bison thats haunted streetfighter for years, his opening line in the trailer being "do i look like the man they call Bison?, i will take that name for myself" really sets in that, though he might physically resemble bison in looks and strength, there is something VERY different, especially with what i assume to be... soul power? Or a secondary power thats conflicting with bisons psycho power which is present during his victory screens, either he loses control of his psycho power and supresses it with the blue power, or he switches from blue to purple to threaten you

[@badtzkoala8345]

I think they confirmed it’s not soul power, but I agree with you even though his voice lines are chaotic and talks down to the opponent he still feels like he’s gonna just be a neutral amnesia type

[@VarthDaver]

I like the theory that this is old "Rose's master" M.Bison and that's why he is trying hard to "tame" Psycho Power with Soul Power.

[@chilledchupacabra5317]

That would be so cool

[@cristobalito98]

It would be interesting if for a battle hub event, they released a boss-type version of Bison where the bombs have combo potential.

[@aledantih6524]

I was one of the people who didn't like him being back but I gotta be honest they've definitely turned my opinion on him. He looks so cool.

[@valeoncat13]

I'm actually shocked at how many people have said "I like the old costume more" or "I don't like the new look." Cause it's insane how good the new look is. Goofy milkman dictator bison aint cool lol

[@dingusdangus9299]

He's fast again, that's all I care about. I hated 5's slower than christmas bison.

[@Jarrych83]

there's definitely overlap with Aki, but this also made me think of Testament and Johnny in GG Strive. Like, these sorta set up conditions can be a lot of fun.

[@standingfierce9285]

It looks like you get more combo potential from the bomb if it explodes from time rather than being triggered by a special move. So the advanced combo theory is going to be about knowing when to end your combo *without* an auto detonate move so you get a better followup

[@oOYourdadOo]

Yep. Or detonate them while in the air. Other videos kinda show case the juggle potential off the mine exploding while they are airborne. Have fun with the character bro. I already have a bunch of ideas labbed up in my big ass head to test out. They should have never gave me my main M. Bison back, especially not a version akin to his USF4/OMEGA mode version. And that damage potential is sexy too. Hope they dont nerf him before or after launch.

[@DragynFyre12]

Played Bison at SFV launch cause I didn't really have a character. Still kinda don't in 6 so I'm looking forward to bringing back out

[@whizthesugoi]

didn't notice it before but last patch Honda got the ability to use target combo overhead in combos and now Bison will be released with the same ability lol

[@DrSwazz]

I dunno, I still kinda have the same reaction to Bison as I did Ed when he was first announced

[@atrackstar123]

His fast drive rush makes up for him not having a teleport 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@zackdoom]

13:10 can deffo lvl 1 after that in the corner or ex crusher/backhand afterwards looks like enough time if instant 14:31 looks good combo friendly too

[@ngjeremy8062]

U sure scissors in realife? 😂 Arms folded

[@FLYEboi50]

I think he can get a juggle combo off the bomb detonation if the bomb itself detonated without him using a special move.

[@ulrikahaggard9923]

This is big

[@cltmck]

Bison was my first main in SFIV vanilla (before eventually switching to Rose in Super onward). I was not happy with how he was designed in 5 so this version looks very interesting to me, much more like 4 than 5. Going to take a lot to get me to drop AKI, but I'm going to learn him at least, unlike the other DLC characters so far.

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

He’s just cool af, that’s why I wanted him back and that’s why he is my main, only thing I’ll miss is the teleport dash and cross armed stance from 5, those were so badass, the knee crushing the neck animation helps though

[@StormiHere]

Capcom keeps making characters cool- this would be so perfect for Necalli to get a redesign

[@Kasaaz]

At the start of his level 2 super, it always looks like he's reaching back to pull something out from behind his back, but it's just a weird motion he does.

[@duxnihilo]

The horse must be to make him more imposing without having to make him Zangief, Hugo or Abigail-sized.

[@rafael.afonso]

I had zero interest in him until I saw gameplay. Now I'm super stoked. I need an alternative to A.K.I. and this may be it, idk

[@marcusblade7896]

Yes, I'll try Bison, I hope it may become my second main

[@killerkonnat]

I'm not really bothered by earlier game Bison having an "unrealistic" animation for the scissor kicks. He already uses psycho power to levitate with his psycho crusher, it's a very "unrealistic" animation. There's no reason to think that he wouldn't be using it to assist with the scissor kicks. The new scissor kick animation might also be because he isn't as confident with his powers after his resurrection. So he's doing it "realistically" and not "properly" like Bison.

[@DistortedV12]

[@dinamighty1937]

[@HonestTrueflight]

Bison needs a 1 and 100,000 chance when using CA to have his model replaced by the horse, just to fuck with people.

[@OkairMcLaren]

All they need to do to fix aki heavy whip is to give it a whiplash effect and boom problem solved - There's no way a whip will not have a lashing effect when its thrown out, it must have some sort of wiggle physics.

Us SF4 M. Bison players listening to all reviews on Bison and the comparison to his Sfv iteration, smiling, knowing that yall sfv’ers dont know WHAT yall about to have on your hands 😂😂 This honestly may end up being the best Version of Bison yet because this version is very akin to this USF4 version with some the little bit extra we always wished we had. He’s not perfect, but this M. Bison is about to wreak havoc. Your old top tiers will remain top tiers; but this Bison will be a top tier killer. Blanka may be an issue tho…. He’s always a problem…

[@sinisterrain2079]

Never, in like ever been interested in Bison. However the raw power and fluid animations here seems insane. They went through the ceiling with the realisation. I, for one welcome the new dictator. That DR reminds me soo much of Wesker, I'm a fan.

[@Aeby2886]

Dang this breakdowns making me wanna play 6 again I kinda stopped cause there wasn't a character I was gelling with really and I wasn't really excited for Bison since I figured he'd be like 5, but he seems more like SF4 kinda I wonder if Light Scissors is +0 lol

[@workoutfanatic7873]

Did you see the set and last round b/t Punk and that Japanese AKI a few days ago? Anyway, will you be switching or sticking with AKI? I’ve tried her and one of my issues is doing the optimal raw DR. I get it 80% of the time. I’m on stick and sometimes I mess up the inputs. 😢 i.e., can’t really play AKI for optimal combos.
