M.Bison Combo/Tech Thread: Psycho Power!

I’ve been seeing Tampa and Galtu use cr.mk xx inferno from a ‘safe’ range, i.e. where the opponent’s punish normals will whiff, and then punish with st.fierce xx something. I hate blocking something negative only being punished for trying to punish it because of pushback. That’s kind of Season 2 I guess because of st.fierce hitbox stuff.

Seeing more meaty DR setups I didn’t see in Season 1.

No one has really explored crossup EX DR setups yet. For example, st.mp, cr.mp xx mp inferno into immediate EX DR at the peak of the Headstomp Jump will hit semi-meaty on Ryu and land behind. Won’t work with st.rh, cr.mp xx inferno however. I imagine there are potential setups across the entire cast but I’m too lazy.

I attempt to do cross up setups with it, but the simple fact of the matter is that ex DR is finicky.Some times it wont track properly when switching sides At times it will face the wrong way even if you havent switched sides. You have to do it at a height where it isnt obvious that you are going for the crossup, but a lot of the time this means that you will attack them from the front due to them walking back in between the transition into ex DR. It’s awesome when it works…but I feel like they need to restore the ability to control ex DR front and back, like in season one…And for the love of god, improve the tracking on headstomp!

What is wrong with poongko? He’s always doing something, pressing a button or a direction. No respect for frame advantage or anything.

After s HP, QCB+HP, b,f+LP, V Trigger, what EX V Trigger move can he do? I like how after the b,f+LP you can super. Bison’s combos seem complicated. Counter s LP or s LK or c LP doesn’t combo into s MP for starters. But s MP, c MP, b,f+MK, V Trigger, then what? That seems like a better staple combo since you can do j MK, s MP. I just want to use Bison for fun but I didn’t realize how much work it is to learn his optimal/reliable combos, especially what to do with a full V Trigger gauge.

After a MK Scissor xx VTC you can sLK xx LK Scissors xx EX Blast, Psycho Axe. That’s my go to combo. For max damage you can sLK xx LK Scissors xx EX Inferno xx EX Headstomp instead. But it’s 2 bars. I only do this when I think it might kill.

For heavy inferno into LP Blast follow ups I haven’t played around with this. Maybe VTC, Blast xx CA ? I’m not sure if it works with this particular combo.

I believe you can do in the corner, h inferno, blast, VT cancel, blast xx ex inferno

Thanks! I think after s HP, QCB+HP, b,f+LP you can only super in the corner.

Hey guys, does anyone know if VT Devil Reverse > VT Double Knee Press works? I’ve been catching quite a lot of opponents with VT Devil Reverse > CA, especially in the corner. But people who expect the cross-up won’t eat it, so I thought adding in a little hit-confirm there would be nice.

Hey there,

Do you guys know about some places (videos, thread, …) where I can learn some meaties/setups etc. for Bison ?
I have found some thoughout the web, but most on them seem to be out of date.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi guys, I just created a YouTube channel to upload some tech videos and I’m planning to make it a long series. Hopefully this can be helpful to Bison players from all skill levels.
