I have always loved using Bison as a back up or “suprise” character to whip out on someone after a few matches with all of the staple characters. It suprised me today when I found something he can do that I didn’t know before…
You can actually cancel his crouching FK (the slide) into his Knee Press Nightmare super (d,df,f+KK). This is weird though, as it dosen’t work the way it normally would. One of a few things will happen:
-
The Knee Press Nightmare will miss totally. This is very rare (maybe 5% of the time), but it does happen on occasion. It seems to happen more often if you buffer in more hits before the slide and cancel (like doing a jump in combo, then slide, then cancel). Maybe something to do with how far away you are when you do the super? Not sure…
-
The Knee Press Nightmare will connect as normal. This happens about 30% of the time. As for the other 65% of the time…
-
The Knee Press Nightmare will seem to miss, but at the last second it will connect for a single hit…and do MASSIVE damage. I’m talking near 1 hit kills on most of the characters in the game. I haven’t really figured it out yet. Its impressive to see a single hit take away a whole life bar though!
It works differently based on different characters too (probably something to do with character sizes).
Any thoughts on this? Its a shame that its effect isn’t consistent, or it would be REALLY useful.
