Street Fighter 6 M. Bison Review! Cool, Overtuned & Anti Meta

[@MegaBleedman]

The first time I played this Bison I had to keep reminding myself his scissor is not charge anymore and I still do it LOL

[@WoWisdeadtome]

I'm a Guile main so take what I'm about to say here in that context. Most of Bison's kit is stressful for me but manageable. I notice a lot of people are letting Bison get away with blocked H. Knee Press when it's -5 and his hurtbox is extended more than you might think. I get cr. LP, sweep against that consistently and Bison's defense is not good so letting me pressure him after is big. Neutral jumps or jumping back when cornered is also a good way to land a punish if Bison is too Knee Press happy. The best part about jump back in the corner is that if I catch Bison going for Devil's Rise shenanigans I can air back throw him into the corner. The only move I have a problem with is EX Psycho Crusher and only the EX version, it's so fast I often get hit by it even when I'm NOT throwing booms and just walking forward and unlike things like Honda headbutt and Blanka ball, it's multi-hitting. Even on PP EX Psycho Crusher is extremely difficult to punish because if you release parry and press a button you get counter hit by the second hit and if you just hold parry or block Bison is safe (maybe PP into DI works?). You have to PP, then PP again after the freeze, then PP again to get a punish on it. Due to its speed I also have a very hard time flash kicking it which I can do at least some of the time to moves like Honda Headbutt or Blanka Ball (yes, even EX air ball) and both of those are relatively easy to punish on PP. Neutral jump might punish Bison but only if you're just lucky and Bison randomly throws EX Psycho Crusher out. Typically I've baited it after landing H. Flash Kick by throwing up a sonic blade then quickly standing up and pressing jab. I recover in time to block (or PP) but it often gets Bison players to use EX Psycho Crusher there because they think the boom is coming but I definitely don't have time to neutral jump there. It just seems like such a brainless way to get in because even if you're wrong every time all you lose is your turn. If it wasn't for the fact that it's a charge move I don't know how Guile could even play the matchup. At least because it IS a charge move there are times I know Bison can't use it and I can play some kind of boom game around that knowledge.

[@789tridente]

TO BE FAIR, Guile was historically a hard mu for Bison, knee press is -5 but is dumb easy to space to make it safe and unreactable. I don't see a world where they dont nerf it on the next patches

[@BravadoLuciano]

[@GramdalfFGC]

Obviously I’m a long time Bison main, so I’m bias, and I’m not here to downplay him, but i think some of this is slightly hyperbolic. He’s strong yes but it’s very early and his defence is absolutely ass which is par for the course. People talk about scissors pressure but literally someone today on twitter discovered there’s massive gaps in his strings that you can DI or exploit in other ways. There’s a lot of knowledge checks with this version of Bison, maybe he is overuned slightly but I also think he has very clear and defined weaknesses which is sort of where you want characters to be. To say he’s better than SFV Luke is insane to me, that character had everything, basically no weaknesses at all.

[@KARS215]

I can validate that statement about DI lol. Random DI works on Bison like it does with Zangief.

[@GreenBro11]

I have to disagree on one thing. His defense is not ass. That might be his biggest downplay overall. He has great anti air buttons with crouching heavy punch, and devil rise is throw invincible and he has invincible supers. Yeah not having an OD reversal means his defense is worse than a top tier, but compared to playing Manon, Lily, or Kimberly who easily has the worst defense in the game, Bison is way ahead of them.

Great analysis vesper

[@Jarrych83]

I can see people starting to adapt to his knee press and crusher with perfect parry, but he absolutely has his air mixups. I'm also starting to see lots of pokes to deal with knee press. He definitely struggles with cross ups. His anti air tools aren't great for that. I do think the damage might be a hair too high for the game in general. Like, with a setup and a lot of resources, fine, high damage. But probably not 75% THAT easily. And yeah, OD crusher should probably be a hits of armor situation vs full projectile invul.

i would say that kneepress pushback on block will be reduced so it will be harder for bison to space it correctly in neutral and not get punished for it. i think -5 on block is fine personally. I found as long as you dont do it in blockstrings you will be fine.

When you study a character in a vacuum like this it is easy to get caught up in the strengths, but once you put him in a fight he becomes a lot easier to read. Just to be clear, I think he is pretty balanced as well. Unfortunately for Rashid though, it might actually be a tougher matchup since he basically has no level 2 in it.

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

Bison is easily top 1, reversal or not. Plus his lvl 1 and 3 can be used as reversals atleast anyway. Plus at the highest level of play, its not like the reversals come into play as much, and now with wakeup drive reversal for everyone, it hurts him even less. The more i played against Bison and used him over the last couple of days, hes easily the most OP character in the game yet and is the first character that i so quickly fekt needed a nerf for sure, the first character that ACTUALLY needs an emergency nerf. The damage is insane and thats what everyone is focusing on, but the dmg def isnt the first thing that needs nerfed. If someone gets an 8k combo off on me, more power too him. But all his tools are amazing and so is his neutral and its too hard to take a turn against him. Its annoying and the most obnoxious character yet easily. Thats why so many ppl are playing him now, unlike Akuma, who everyone was playing the second he dropped cuz they already wanted to....alot of ppl arent big fans of playing as Bison and the first day and a half to 2 days, not that many ppl were playing him, then ppl started seeing how busted he was now we out here dealing with the same shit we did with Akuma, facing Bison in 85% of ur matches. I already dont even care about using him anymore because im literally already bored of him from facing him so much. Same with Akuma, i got burnt out on him without even ever playing him lol

@@AnthonyBottari oh S1 JP was definitely better, I just mean that they're similar in the fact that they're characters that have a very strong game plan from the get go on top of having mechanics that, with proper labbing can be devastating. Like Scissor Kick and EX Psycho Crusher are obviously strong, but then if you start digging you find some nasty stuff with his bomb setups. It's nowhere near the level of insanity of something like Amnesia and JP lvl2 on launch day, but I do think the Devs want the villainous characters (JP, Akuma and now Bison) to have an impact in the meta.

[@1TheMIU]

The problem with scissor kick is there is no obvious counter play. You can di it or neutral jump if u have the read(not on reaction) . And u can get a jab punish on it if youre lucky. And the problem with the jab punish is u cant link into crouch mk for a drive rush after cause hes alwasy just to far. And if ur jab happens to miss(more often than not) youve lost your turn. For a move that skips neutral,combos on counter hit and punish counter ,dodges low, does drive gauge damage, restands for a 50 50 , is safe on blck prrtty much and spaces bison out enough so u cant take your turn back and is not also a charge move so u can't even thats the penalty hes taking for having such a good move. I mean who let capcom cook?😂

[@shaunmcisaac782]

If it left him in the same range as on hit, it would be totally fair. Because you didn't hit confirm, and therefore the -5OB becomes an actual punish counter combo.

Hey Vesper, how do you setup the training mode so that the opponent always stays in burnout?

[@Tremuoso]

Motion knee press really stands out in this game to me in a way that even the strongest stuff in the game so far hasn't. It feels not thought-through. It functions almost identical to the classic bison scissor kick that is designed to be gated behind a charge. It's a little bit more minus on block than scissors clasically is, but being able to walk forward and do it instantly with no carge gating it is an insane giga upside, and if you have any legacy skill at knowing how to space and place the scissors on the tip at the right distances then the block disadvantage is a damn near negliglbe downside, I would say. I am not gonna be surprised at all in the future to see knee press get changed to either be significantly more minus on block or change it back to a charge motion and make it slightly less minus on block.

[@oOYourdadOo]

Reading comments pisses me off about this game. A reminder of whats sour about it, and not a good sour. Perfect fucking parry. Drive Parry aside, perfect parry is just waaaaayyyy to simple and it happens way too damn often. This is not a good mechanic. People in the comments just, “yeah ill just perfect parry. hehehe” like bro, this shit really takes away from any fun and skill in Street Fighter. Takes away from what a lot of players SHOULD be learning; thats how to block. “Oh? I dropped my combo and im -3? Perfect parry time! hehehe”, “Oh? My opponent is jumping at me? I cant tell if i should block left or right, but its okay because perfect parryyyy. hehehe”, “Oh? Are you trying to frame trap me again into counter hit because i keep mashing through your strings? Well guess what? Thats not all i mash. PERFECT PARRY! hehehe” Like i cant even try new shit on people. Literally gotta play passive-aggressive and purposely give up my turn, MY TURN, because a mfer just presses a button and gets a perfect parry automatically, and the times they dont get a PP they still recover as if they blocked normally. So its a get out of jail free card, its a uno reverse card, its a anti-air, its a lame way to play. If they arent willing to make it harder to get perfect parries, then at least make using parry more punishing. At this point it should cost 2 bars to activate drive parry. If they successfully block a string they already recover made drive gauge anyway so wouldnt be a big deal. Would incentivize holding parry more, WHICH IN TURN, will give the aggressor more opportunities for mind games, and for the defender to making riskier choices. Burn 2 bars because you cant block left or right, or hold the mix? Or make it so that blocking while parrying also causes chip damage. So the health is recoverable, but if you get hit with white life, you lose all that health. Then i can justify (not really, but i would try) having perfect parry be so damn easy to perform. In my perfect world, perfect parry would be a separate input where the person has to press forward input at the moment an attack is about to connect to do perfect parry. But i see how that hurts charge characters.

[@antonsundin2974]

OD psycho crusher seems a bit too versatile lol. Safe on block with massive pushback, AA, full screen projectile punish and easy to confirm into lv3. Beating Rashid lvl2 from full screen on reaction is just nuts.

When I trier Bison on day 1, after 30min, I was convinced that knee press would get nerfs quickly. It's still very weak to neutral jump as usual and it loses hard to DI. But I still believe that this move is overtuned. And I'm saying that even though I want to dual main him with Ed.

[@merkyofaycemfx2944]

why do people keep comparing knee press to headbutt? HHS and knee press act closer alike than headbutt and knee press. OBV the comp between headbutt should be psycho crusher. HHS and scissors leave standing, and often times can combo from them. PC and headbutt have forward charge moves that knock down

[@Longlostpuss]

Bison shouldn't even be a DLC character, he should just be a part of the normal SF2 roster with all the others. Capcom could just have made him unlockable without the need to charge people to be able to access him, it's taking the piss.

[@itsmesteve1081]

Everybody says Akuma was going to be top tier too, which he is, but still not as good as ken. This will be the same case. Bison has his strengths and weaknesses, but I feel like his weaknesses become more apparent once you actually start playing against him. If you study every move in a vacuum like this then obviously he is going to look overpowered. But once you put him in the fire he becomes sort of average. I will admit he is probably the first character to be able to consistently beat Rashid's level 2, but still... That dynamic doesn't apply to a lot of the other characters in the cast. He has good neutral buttons and his Knee Press is a pretty reliable spacing trap, but he still doesn't have that x factor like Dee Jay's sway or Guile's slow fireball and corner pressure. These things mechanically transcend the game whereas M. Bison is still within it. Is he going to be top tier? Sure, but he isn't going to be beating everybody in a tournament. He has clear strengths and clear weaknesses. He is fair in the overall balance of things

[@alphach1mp]

I starting to see top tier as something broken and excellent tools and top tier excellent tools but you can still punish them when they whiff, or you block correctly. Bison, Akuma, Manon, Luke, Marisa, Ed, all have broken top tier where you have cheap normals that go to very high damage, broken mechanic where if they drive rush you with more ex bars and you are trapped in a corner, it's all over. They have to have more recovery frames where you can punish their blocks AND when they whiff. Otherwise, all these characters can just bumb rush in and abuse.

Ngl Ioved the the video, damage whose he a lil od but I don’t see a jp damage near or Marisa damage nerf so I have to complaints. He probably the best punisher in the game but he has to work for it a lil. Yes his scissor kick is a low crush buts it’s his only none charge move besides the mine or scissors. Scissors is very reactable on block and is only good as a punisher move but that’s all. You can hit it with a high move dp or super it, even fire ball if he punished your fireball u got red or your not pacing enough he gets nothing of off of psycho unless the mine is on u and at that point u should be playing defensive anyway. I’d say that they should nerf his damage by scaling the 2nd ex move on his combos since that’s what give the extra damage when the mine is planted. Making scissors a charge move won’t change anything I played bison in the older games it’ll just make us turtle more mid screen to can u in short make us better since there’s a prerequisite that it’s easily spammable

[@BravadoLuciano]

They needed to give bison some leverage as a character in the current meta to make him worth playing which is why they added the mine as well because its like sure he has knee press space traps but everyone does and most of what he’s doing can be translated to other characters he just “looks cooler doing it” so it adds an effect

[@BravadoLuciano]

And in making knee press charge it would be alot more baited with the meta of DI in sf6 which capcom thought about. Its a move where they made it -5, a bit more able for players to throw it out recklessly with motion and made him have no reversal for a reason. Because one time its missed spaced leads to a knockdown and a guess situation with no immediate answer

[@BravadoLuciano]

Hope I could clarify some views with these responses, I know the salt is to come but just wanted to give player’s without too much of an understanding of developers approaches a bit more knowledge. He still has what made him who he was in his sf legacy and thats undeniable, I’ve always complained about bison since sf4 but do I beat him yes.

Hmm… I don’t know how people are managing to steam roll with him. Anti airing with him is stressful even with psycho crusher. Knee is good as long as people don’t constantly jump or DI. Even the recovery of knee is bad so if you whiff it you’re in a world of hurt. His back walkspeed is abysmal leaving him more susceptible cr mk. And of course no invisible dp hurts not having. He seems mid to me but only time will tell how good he really is.

Ken is still the most op character in this game i don't care what anyone says its true bison is just a blimp on the radar compared to ken.

[@SolonarTM]

not even anti meta I play master Jamie and bisons just overpowered. You gotta be dense to think -3 in throw range after scissors which is no longer a charge move is acceptable. It’s braindead neutral like jinrai x100

[@purefire21]

Bison is the new Turtle! I’m having so many timeouts against him

[@kenshin391]

He’s strong but he has weakness that are easy to exploit. I’m glad he’s strong though he’s always been my main. I’m glad to see him back and stronger.

[@metalgear475]

Knee Press should be illegal, what was Capcom thinking.

[@MS-ql8ek]

They make him strong so everyone can buy the season 2 pack then they will nerf him, typical money grab

[@natemakesbeats2138]

So then why didn’t this happen with akuma or ed ?

[@kye4216]

He’s not as strong as Akuma

[@conservativesaiyan]

I don't think he's strong. While his pokes and fundamentals are what a skillful character should be, is not enough. In fact, the fact that Psycho Crusher can go through fireballs is not an accident. Is needed. He also needs Drive Gauge to maximize output. In contrast to the cast, the shotos, tops, and other sound, but strong characters, Bison lacks. They have better output damage by simply doing normals, and with the Drive Gauge being a necessary resource, they have better damage output. I think the pros will figure out Bison quickly. In my opinion. He's awesome and fun tho -- and super unique.

[@GetThatWorkout]

They just need to add more so he can have more combo Paterns I see possible one’s bison has potential bison is balanced right now he’s the boss he should be getting buffs for combo opportunities more than anything come on the people complaining about him being too powerful should step they game up they need there game to get a buff

[@ouranos0101]

Why are you feeding the gremlins?

[@ssgcheddar5785]

I just hope they don't destroy him with nerfs 😂

[@Freddie2916]

I love this version of Bison, but he will get nerfed eventually make no mistake about that

[@kei7540]

Only thing they'll touch is probably knee press everything else is whatever

[@cuz30001]

Your tears are delicious 😂

[@TriFF51]

What tears, he's a Bison main lol

[@xravia79]

You Bison mains are pretty sensitive huh?

[@c_bass1971]

Is this how pay to win works in fighting games?

[@Longlostpuss]

Can't he teleport anymore? That's a pretty big ability he seems to have lost imo and could have helped out with the no invincible reversal thing.

[@kei7540]

They gave telporting to jp

[@kye4216]

He has terrible defensive options so hes not going to be top 3.

[@sf6288]

Bison cheap

[@phaze12490]

Pay 2 win

[@SilverWolf04]

I told myself to leave SF6 alone, but after they put my main man Bison in it's hard to resist. I hate the art style of this game and all the new characters.

[@bigbadvicHo]

He’s good just the way he is. Buff him if anything

[@RiskyBusiness144]

Not so sure bison beats a skilled cammy

[@facts-never-lies3160]

Bison is not op but great

[@iiRiDeZ_TTV]

I usually agree with most of your vids, but this has ALWAYS been Bison. I feel like once hes labbed people will be ok. ALSO note there are MANY people who already know how to play Bison.

[@kei7540]

I agree I feel people are kinda overrating him right now

[@badtzkoala8345]

110 view in 12 minutes? Bro fell off Much love jk

[@JoeG2324]

def not top tier, has no defense and weaknesses. SF5 was 10x stronger

[@purefire21]

his defense is his quick jab! regardless of fame data his just is faster than everyone outside of Akuma

[@Benjilabu]

​@@purefire21it comes out in 5f though?

[@checkmate8849]

When akuma got relased he was top 1. Now its bison. Then it will be terry. Ken is the worst shoto. Luke is trash and then the scene just wont change. Just yapping

[@OmnipotentO]

SF6 is pay to win now 😭

[@waterdog737]

Powercreep Yes Pay2Win, IDK. We're see how the of the season pans out. Suggestion, best to avoid zoners and zoning like playstyles for the time being

[@kei7540]

It's not Bison isn't gonna magically make.you legend ranked

[@OmnipotentO]

i'm somewhat kidding. I think he's good. not sure he's S tier. I need a pro to win something with him first.

[@jayfly1090]

Stop crying

[@AllFlashNoDash]

You guys are exaggerating. The game is a year old, and everyone is used to the mechanics. It'll be easier and easier to get characters to Master. It took me 2½ - 3 months to get Ryu to Master. 3 weeks with Luke. 1 day with Lord Bipson. All I did was lab for about an hour. Found 2 bread and butters, bnb into super, and meter dump into super. People play timid against a new character due to unfamiliarity. Is he good? Yes. Not even top 5. May be right at 10. He has trouble with characters who stick to you with pressure due to no gtf off me move (invincible reversal).

[@webadagrande]

oh yeha let me belive a random mf that got master on the most ez game to get master vs all the pros that say hes overtuned and top 5

[@AllFlashNoDash]

@webadagrande believe what you want. I don't care. Doesn't make my opinion any more or less. People put too much stock in "pros" and titles. I've beaten some of your pros. It's just a game. 😆😆😆

[@fayelis]

Getting master is brain dead in sf6. MR is what really matters

[@webadagrande]

@@AllFlashNoDash anyone can beat any pro on a random online match go and beat them on a important tournament with something on the line then fucking sf6 made all thsi god dam nrandom people think they can talk cause they hit master on the most brain dead rank system ever made where even if u have 41% win rate u get to master random ass guy

[@AllFlashNoDash]

@fayelis just curious...are you a Master?
