his final combo trial teaches you how to do 80% of ryus health bar

So, his scissor kick is basically SFV Balrog's dash punch which was -4 but could very easily be spaced out of punish range for a lot of the cast. Oh yeah but it's even better because it's not a charge move...

[@loneone559]

and if he counter hits you with it he gets a combo

I always mained Bison so i was pretty sad that he wasn’t base roster, but now i’m happy he’s dlc lol. Obviously they don’t want these characters to be weak because they need to sell, but i also think that it helps that they are only making 4 a year, so they can go ham with designing them. Some characters from the base roster screams “i wasn’t high priority during development”

[@TheGreektrojan]

Biggest issue with SF6's roster right here. Half the base roster feels underbaked vs. this DLC. Biggest disappointment with the big patch is that no one really got a meaningful rework.

[@oklimbo]

The question marks on the intro really caught me idk why

[@gamerx112]

I just think theres something powerful yet comical that Bison locks in and just sprints palms open during his drive rush

[@Lepogans]

When you mentioned Aki having the most recovery in the game on her fireball, I was skeptical because I had not touched aki at all, just my experiences playing against her as JP (50f for JP instead of 52 for Aki). Something felt wrong about that statement because of the amount of times I've been punished by aki for trying to counter her fireball with level 3, so I picked her up and I didn't know that aki gets to special cancel her fireball after 17f. So technically you do have the option to OD slither (236KK) under the psycho crusher as a counter-reaction if youre not like literally right in front of him. Still tho Bison is clearly ridiculous, and as a JP player, I'm not exactly excited to deal with it either...

[@VerbalLearning]

If they won't give Bison a horse based special move or super, then they should at the very least add his horse to the bull knockdown minigame as an alternative to the bull.

Bisons design makes me want to come back to SF6 😅

[@IcyTorment]

The absence of Psycho Trample is, indeed, a major omission.

[@marks2053]

People say that he does good damage but depends on his drive meter too much. It’s actually not really true, what’s is great is that it’s always an option not required. The guy can literally throw out 3 EX moves and a level 3 in a combo. You don’t have to, but it’s great that you can decide to whenever you land a combo.

[@blinktgaming]

I think generally if you are a solid player with good foundational knowledge of fighting games, you’re gonna be in the best position to take any new character to Master rank on launch simply due to the fact that the majority of your opponents you’ll face to get there are Diamond players - these are for the most part, non-tournament players and still pretty casual and won’t bother to learn the frame data or the character matchup during the first few weeks. This creates tons of wins off fake pressure or gimmicks that one wouldn’t get away with later on in the character’s lifecycle. TL;DR, I don’t think any character is P2W. It’s still ultimately player skill and taking advantage of an undeveloped meta during the critical period of a character’s launch.

[@Shakenbake-in9ux]

Until you watch somebody climb to legend spamming scissor kick lmao

[@blinktgaming]

@@Shakenbake-in9ux the difference though is you can’t derank from master once you hit it (which is why trying to climb early when a character is new is beneficial) but Legend you have to maintain through wins.
