I wonder how fast the startup is on the new PC? It looks like thats gonna replace SKs in battle for the most part, or create a better mixup game at the very least… The recovery looks damn good too maybe it will only be -1 or -2 on block which would be sweet or 0 maybe :)… and the way the tail end of it hits I think its gonna be the AA we’ve all been needing. I know when I do lose with Bison its usually because of lack of AA… and its way easier to keep a back charge in battle than db charge, which is why I think it will help a ton in his AA game.
If the startup is one frame faster, it will potentially combo from your cr.LK links depending on how close you are to your opponent when starting it. That is, if the hitbox of the first active frame is in contact with the opponent. I hope it won’t, because I want there to be a difference between Knee Press and PC.
Just fixed my xbox and got a new GT.
new gt: itw4s Tu3sday
PC is definitely not safe on block. There is that one video of Sagat still kara-uppercutting to punish Bison everytime he uses PC in ssf4.
and to be on topic: my gt on XBL is my username. I’ll probably be on more often in mid May.
Good matches God 2.0, sorry that I didn’t make a better showing of myself but apparently my head aint screwed on right today lol.
yay bout time you got back into it…i owe a lot of credit to you for my gameplay right now
want to try and get some games in shervin? ill be on for the next hour or so. if its too laggy that’s chill but maybe we can play a few matches to test the waters. when i play with jago it’s 1 bar but good enough to do 1 frame links (landing jumping fierce, cr.mp, cr.mk xx roundhouse scissors on him was the best moment of my entire gaming life lol) so it all depends on a bunch of random factors.
anyone else also please send requests, like i said just because it shows up 1 bar doesn’t mean it wont be playable. if it’s really bad after a game or two we can just call it quits.
sorry im ready to call it a night soon 
got class in the morning. well play later this week though, i promise. whats an ideal time for you?
well i live in korea and its 3:41 PM right now. i have very very odd hours ever since i ended my work contract and moved in with my mom. yes sounds pathetic because it is…i’m stuck here because of visa/legal issues and free rent is too good to pass up. so yeah sometimes i go out and partay and i end up staying up all fucking night and sleeping all day or vice versa. right now im on a healthy time table, but really i could be on now (afternoonish) or I could be on at 6 am my time, just send me a request when you see me on.
Good games to NDRWPNDY and HeroicMedic. Mirror matches are by far my worst and playing you two has helped out for sure.
NDR - Great job setting up your throws. Also, your punishment skills are fantastic. It seems every time I took dumb risks you capitalized. If anything, you should press the advantage more and take more smart risks such as crossups and a few more reversals on wakeup to reduce the amount of meaties I used. Trust your instincts. they’re pretty good. You also nailed me with a few sweet option selects, especially the one st.fp that ended up dizzying me.
Heroic - Good baiting and good throw mixups. You caught me sleeping quite a few times and threw me off for the first few matches. Beware of excessive teleporting - I didn’t punish them frequently enough and let you off the hook a few too many times, same with the empty DR -> throw setup. Your use of reversals was really on point and you disrupted my rushdown perfectly a few times, especially when I didn’t space properly.
I’m down to play anybody else who wants to do a session. Message me here or on xbox live.
lolwut? you have a different pattern of alternating between st.hk and c.lk xx scissors?
i kid, i kid. but seriously what did you change? you were already winning more matches than i was.
i’m going to have to work on my execution when i start playing again.
didnt change anything 
but i remember i used to play tons of matches with you. if it wasnt for those matches, i wouldnt have gotten any better. i realize i got better bc of the matches we played, its not like i magically just woke up better one morning
GGs Ono Sendai & Laudanum!
Ono: Thanks for the kind words, and for the criticisms. Pressing the advantage really is one of my biggest general weaknesses. I play a very scared Bison, to be honest. Your shit is so on point, anyways. Really good execution, great use of normal pokes, and VERY good use of EX/invincibles within the SK trap. I tend to hold my meter until do-or-die situations, but I should definitely take a page from your book and try to blow through some dumb pokes.
Laud: Lag made everything a total mindfuck, but it actually wasn’t that bad considering the fact that you are on the other side of the planet. I’ve been reading about your psycho crusher experiments, so I wasn’t at all surprised to see you messing around with them during our games. I kept trying to s.RH them on reaction, but ‘on reaction’ wasn’t really happening! Haha. Anyhow, it’s clear that you’ve got a very good Bison. Come back to the continent.
On another note, I’m going to add you, M16. Your posts are always knowledgeable as fuck, I figure I could probably learn a bunch off of you.
Haha, thanks. But knowing frame data doesn’t make me a good player. Execution, reaction speed, mind games and conditioning are important as well. I haven’t seriously played this game since before thanksgiving.
I usually make the analogy to poker: knowing the odds means you know your options, but that doesn’t mean you’re good. Someone with better intuition and experience will still be able to beat you.
I’m definitely up for some games, though.
NDRWPNDY: i had a lot of fun, especially throwing out psycho crushers like it was CE!!
thanks for the compliment but you played just as well as I did. I got too many free crushers because we were both experimenting, you trying to stop them and me trying to pretend like it was the best move in SF4. when i wasn’t messing around with the crusher i was working for sure. seems like our playstyles are actually kind of similar.
Shervin: very good games today. you totally whooped my ass, especially in the mirror matches. sorry if there was any bad lag going on (it wasn’t really laggy for me but it could have been for you). damn time warner cable. well at least i’m getting fios soon and that might help a bit with any lag i might have. i definitely need to improve my shitty combo execution. i drop combos like its hot. :lol:
and sorry i couldn’t communicate during our matches, the only mic i have was for the xbox controller and it doesn’t connect to my fightstick.
Oh its fine, I expect lag when I play on XBL. It wasnt that bad though, nothing that was unplayable. But yeah, try to get those combos down…you want to hurt me every time you touch me. Of course, you could be dropping these because of lag for all I know. Lets play more sometime, just send me an invite.
Stabicron
GGs. My advice would be to work on combo execution of course, and meter management. You got predictable with your EX PCs, and you used them in situations where they were unnecessary. You were better off blocking and saving the meter. Good crossups btw, very ambiguous…I usually dont have trouble blocking them but they caught me a lot. I fckd up my ultra sooooo many times its not even funny…be careful with those devils reverses. I screwed up a lot but they can be punished with ultra. Use more footsies too. St mk/hk are invaluable.
Yeah good fights. I am still not 100% on my combos, even the one I know. I abuse meter way too much, a bad habit from my Cammy maining days and that I really need to abuse st mk more, ironically I normally abuse the crap outta st hk against a good chunk of the cast, don’t know what was going through my head this time lol. Ironically I always keep forgetting that the Bison mirror is one of the few times I could actually use j.mp x2, I am so trained into not bothering against most of the cast since it tends to lose out to nearly everything under the sun that it always catches me off guard.
ggs to soviet666 in CHamp mode… its 1 to 1 now gotta break that tie…lol I was gonna send you an invite to play some casuals but I was heading out the door pretty much right after we played. anyways you think you got enough bison players on your fl? lol actually thats badass, but you should definitely tone it down on the teleports and DRs because they can be easily punished by alot of the cast… even full screen I dont know how many times I landed hpPC on you from a whiffed DR. but overall really close games and I’m looking forrward to the next time we play.
any time…i’m kinda ass lately, cuz of exams and the fact I haven’t REALLY played much SF (except for between commercials and shit) in the last month or so. And I’m like 99% sure my controller is busted (possibly from throwing it repeatedly)
I am kinda tinkering with DR in mirror matches to find a way to punish PC’s or land behind em. As for teleports, i usually dont teleport much at all, except on wakeup.
Either way, I look forward to our next matches (and yes I have a ton of bisons on my friends list…i usually log on and like 4 friend requests are waiting for me, then i never hear from the dude again)
