SF6 M. Bison Guide: Knockdowns and Oki

[@ZachHenke]

In my haste I guess I never actually tested the psycho crusher as a meaty after medium bomb. Light psycho crusher has none of the weaknesses that I show in this video.

[@TonyDupre]

I think the only weakness is that in a lot of scenarios where they back roll, it doesn't go far enough.

[@joulethrex]

Medium psycho crusher is meaty after heavy bomb too

[@ZachHenke]

@@joulethrex I’d rather DR up and get close. You can make them block something and detonate the bomb afterwards, or if you throw them you get a high/low mix afterwards.

[@wittledragon1314]

A few other meaty setups. after forward throw = Drive rush standing hk. it'll catch both quick and back rise. It'll also recover in time to drive impact back if they wake up drive impact. You'll be +2 from it and if it connects you can go into cmk into whatever or if you are closer you can get cmp. after light and medium double fist = You can do a drive rush hk, but if they back rise you wont get anything off it. i guess it could be good to keep the pressure going but thats about it. after ex double fist = Same as forward throw. drive rush standing hk and you are plus 3 but both quick and back rise you are in their face so if it connects you can get cmp, if its a counter hit you can get back hk. After light psycho crusher = at max range on knock down you can drive rush hk. at close range you can drive rush back hk. If you are also close and dont want to use meter you can do hp. Only issue is if they back rise you wont get anything off it. so its better to just do a dash. after medium psycho crusher = at mid range on knock down you want to drive rush hp. close range is the same as light psycho. at max range slight delay on drive rush hp. after heavy psycho crusher = at max range, drive rush hp. mid range is drive rush back hk or do non-drive rush hp. You dont want to do heavy psycho crusher up close, but if you do. drive rush cmp. for mines- If you are in the corner and end with light or medium double fist while someone already has a mine you get a safejump. If you do heavy double fist you can get another light double fist afterwards you reapply the mine.

Thank you for making this. I dropped marisa for bison and prayed there would be some Zach Henke quality guides. So glad you're using him

[@JanusIIV]

As a Marisa player considering the swap to Bison, this is pretty content, ha ha. Cheers, mate.

[@kader1034]

Same here 😂

[@albanschw4170]

Same! Thanks for the work bro appreciate it (Shyvas)

[@808Stone]

I was a Bison main in SF4 and since then he's been my favorite character. He wasn't released at launch, so I decided to main Marisa. I was so excited when he was announced...I love scissor kick pressure. You should be used to his anti airs (cr. HP and air to air MP, MP) since they're similar to Marisa's but better

[@arsonne]

Best SF6 tutorials out there.

[@ZachHenke]

Thank you!

[@adk5980]

You’re guides are great man. You definitely helped me get marissa to master. It’s nice to see you do more of these on more characters. I feel like you truly nailed how advanced you keep it. It’s crystal clear but still technical. Perfect intermediate to advanced guides! 10/10 👏🏻

[@adk5980]

( i understand it’s very hard work and doing this on multiple characters is probably really time consuming. But having these on many characters i feel like your channel would be very very popular )

[@ZachHenke]

So much of it is timing. The vids I did on Ryu and Manon knockdowns didn’t do well at all, for example.

[@adk5980]

@@ZachHenke Oh really? i can imagine the timing is big. perhaps alot of the people subscribed at the moment are marissa players hehe

[@ZachHenke]

That’s definitely part of it.

[@kenfajardo6953]

Saw this vid as a recommendation, Im a low level Diamond player and I literally have 0 knowledge on the frames stuff. You explain it in a way that a dummy like me can understand, definitely subscribing and taking my time learning everything youve explained. Thank you!

[@ZachHenke]

I’m a teacher by trade, so it makes me feel good in a professional sense that you find my explanations simple to understand.

[@kevinmccauley8992]

EXACTLY what I was looking for

[@ふしぎなけんきゅう]

I always love your guides!

[@ZachHenke]

Thanks for the support!

[@mb14561]

Nice video i appreciate the fast pace, like just get to it already!

[@ZachHenke]

Thank you! Just put out another video on corner oki today!

[@pabloparty]

Just found your bison videos and they have been great! TY!!!

[@ZachHenke]

Thank you!

[@gloman19]

fwiw imma marisa main solely due to bison not being in sf6. Although im dropping marisa indefinitely due to bison.. your videos helped me get to master. I hope you continue to make bison tutorials because you fill a very present niche of Marisa mains who are switching to Bison.

[@MisterAnimann]

Light crusher recovers fast enough to counter DI after backfist. The opponent can just react with an invincible reversal instead, though, so I still think the crusher setups are kinda gimmicky.

[@ZachHenke]

It doesn’t hit if they back recover and block. You’re like -30 in their face.

[@MisterAnimann]

​@@ZachHenke It looks like it does connect after medium backfist, but yeah, it whiffs after light midscreen. Could technically still go for it in the corner I guess.

[@jeanpaulbelloosorio7706]

yeeeeee i was waiting for this one my man!

[@ZachHenke]

Cool! It’s a pretty rough sketch, since I’m sure he has a lot of details and options from his bomb setups, but I wanted to put something out there to get the juices flowing.

[@jeanpaulbelloosorio7706]

@@ZachHenke VERY GOOD IDEA! ill be waiting 4 new tips. by the way i terrible at finding combos by myself any ideas on how to find those?

[@ZachHenke]

Just do like really simple stuff for a week then watch high level replays and just copy/steal stuff they do.

[@MattyDates.]

First time watching, and this is one of the best Bison vids out right now. Subscribing to hopefully see more Bison guides. Would love some BnB combo guides for beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

[@ZachHenke]

Thanks! Right now I do plan on doing at least a little more with the character. Hopefully you don’t mind seeing some Marisa stuff, too.

[@wicketd7730]

Awesome content. I think that heavy bomb setup is a ton of fun to use, that and the easy shimmy you can get off of his scissor special.

[@PaulioMasterbaker]

Don't have much to say other than +1 appreciate the content brother

[@jumpfold]

This was very helpful thank you I appreciate it

[@ZachHenke]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@Ryan-jl1el]

maaaaan i love you Zach im still maining marisa and picking up bison as secondary you helped me alot !!! 🙏

[@ZachHenke]

The only character I would drop Marisa for without question is Abigail. There are a few others I would definitely put considerable time into. Right now I’m just going to have fun learning some Bison tech.

[@Ryan-jl1el]

@@ZachHenke i would think cuz theres a whole final fight theme in the game as well maki, cody and Carlos and haggar would finally make an appearance with abigail

[@KidArkx]

Heavy punch bomb is also just a good ender if you spend a little meter to do drive rush crouch heavy into heavy bomb, then you can dash forward and be + if they dont back tech

[@floridaman7206]

Really good stuff!

[@justcallmeseth]

This is great, I just got Bison to masters last night without being too confident in my oki but I was using a lot of these setups thankfully lol I think there's one thing you did miss though. In the corner if you end with 214LP you can whiff crouch jab to frame kill and then do meaty 4HK. Or if you end with 214HP in the corner you can frame kill with 2MP and meaty with 4HK Great stuff once again!

[@ZachHenke]

That’s good. Thank you!

[@VitorBazzo]

Awesome video bro! Keep learning us auahauaha

[@tropicalbadger3744]

Yeah I’ve seen just spamming the scissor kicks because even on block -4/-5 is hard to punish at the distance he gets out back at.

[@timeisnotaline]

Great stuff yet again

[@Hoodoojuju82]

Thanks Zach!

[@ZachHenke]

Thanks for engaging!

[@robertminzatu8725]

Please do a video about the 214P bomb convert

[@ZachHenke]

What context are you talking about?

[@Sanazuki]

Thank youuu!

[@maffuw]

Do you have a video on delaying normals to beat delay tech? I understand shimmy delay tech but I dont really understand the delay normals. Ive had it done to me and it feels terrible lol

[@ZachHenke]

Most people are delay teching somewhere in the neighborhood of a 7-10 frame delay. So you can either try to manually delay your button that long or you can pick a button with slower startup and push it immediately.

[@maffuw]

@@ZachHenke thanks

[@bleeatch]

Thanks Bud

[@jeffrio]

With the +41 safejump, why does empty jump beat the 5 frame reversal? aren't you in the air the same amount of time? do you land faster if you don't press a normal in the air or something?

[@ZachHenke]

Landing recovery. You have 3 frames of landing recovery in SF6, but if you empty jump you can block during them.

[@FutileWar]

what ex we can use after we been throwed in the ground (es like the shoryuken)?

[@ZachHenke]

Nothing really. Need to gamble with super or drive reversal.

[@Flashlegz]

Aaaah Bison, my SF4 main, looks like it's time to pick up a third main

[@erno6155]

Who’s ur other 2?

[@Flashlegz]

@@erno6155 Marisa and Blanka

[@kenshin391]

I know this sounds like something simple and basic but I struggle to get out level 1 supers after a jab or crouching medium punch could you show how to buffer into that? I’m using a PS5 controller idk if that has something to do with it

[@ZachHenke]

The biggest thing is to be aware of how the game handles inputs. If you’re a pushing something like 2MP into super you can use the input for the 2MP as the first down and then you just roll forward or back as soon as you input MP. That way you don’t have to do the whole motion afterwards. So instead of doing 2+MP then 236236 you do 2+MP36236.

[@kenshin391]

@@ZachHenke Thank you I'm gonna practice that

[@vincentFGC]

we want more bison tech!!

[@ZachHenke]

Honestly, I’ve been watching some Bison stuff and I really think I might try to pick him up.

[@vincentFGC]

@@ZachHenke he's so fun, really hoping you release more content on him, like you said it feels like it'll take a while to figure him out

[@ZachHenke]

@@vincentFGC For sure. Like I said, I plan on at least learning the basic stuff to see if I want to pick him up, so there will definitely be at least a little more content.

[@damienlee4992]

I didn't know di beat psycho crusher least that one it tough mu for Marisa but i fought some ways but bison oki is insane

[@ZachHenke]

Once the bomb is on you it’s definitely hard to deal with.

You better be parrying against this character cuz he will annihilate your drive gauge 😭

You can do light psycho crusher after the bomb attack and you can't be died Great video otherwise though!

That whiffs they don’t push anything and you’re -31 iirc.

@@ZachHenke Ah, then I blame Sajam for misleading me :)

It might work off of medium bomb or if they don’t back roll, but it definitely doesn’t work from light bomb.

@@ZachHenke ah interesting, worthy of more testing for sure (I need to buy him first, rental ran out)
