M.Bison General Thread: Come here prepared to fight a madman, and instead you will find a GOD!

I wouldnt call that a new scissor kick. Looks like the CvS2 version in 3D with added flare.

Normal Scissors dont knockdown!

Maybe he increased his gravitational pull during weigh-in to appear more intimidating… or he hypnotized the guy weighing him!

Well counting the segments on the stat chart, I’d say the measure system is going by a range of 1-5. But since he doesn’t reach 5 for any of his attributes, I’d say this makes Bison moderate. Definitely not an ultimate incarnation.

Im glad he now has some flash to his game play. I would be lying if I said I wasnt excited.

The only reason Bison never had flash to his gameplay is because he wanted to give other fighters a chance. He’s a nice guy under that hat.

Ah, the whole ā€œi will fight you on your levelā€ line, shocking that bison was showcased so early. Guess cap is making up for sf4 lol

Bison’s forward teleport in the trailer is most likely his dash. It will only be fireball invulnerable for certain frames, not fully invulnerable. So not too different to Juri being able to forward dash under mid fireballs. That’s why there are very few frames where he is actually completely invisible during the travel, the purple dissipation effect lasts much longer than you might expect of a true teleport as they don’t want there to be visual incongruity when he does get hit out of the dash.

If anything, the only thing it won’t have is a pushbox, but he’ll likely still be vulnerable at some point.

Looks like they’re adding stuff from Darkstalkers into SFV.

If Bison’s dash is a teleport, does that mean no teleport? :open_mouth:

I think they showcased Bison early for many reasons:

After Charlie it was very obvious that he will be there.
Sf4’s conclusion
Showcase overhauled returning characters to establish that this isn’t SF4.5
Showcase popular returning characters first for Hype
Bison is probably not the boss so build hype for that

That’s the thing, I don’t think Bison’s dash is a true teleport, it’s most likely still completely strike vulnerable but has some fireball invulnerable frames and has the added advantage of pass-through. So he may well still have a true teleport move, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut that out.

If they cut it out with along Devil’s Reverse, in addition to Psycho Crusher, then they would’ve taken out most if not all of his escape options. This is not good.

A few more notes:

His V-Trigger gives all his specials the property of being canceled into. He cancels his Standing Fierce (or Psycho Banish) into Ex Psycho Sphere. He cancels into Ex-Scissors (notice the starting animation of the Ex Scissors, he teleports into the attack animation of scissor kicks immediately), then cancels Ex Psycho Sphere into Ex Head Stomp which either hits twice or he canceled it again into another head stomp (Notice that he teleports into the attack animation of the headstomp immediately when canceled into).

Also is it really a Psycho Reflect? Or is it a delayed Psycho Shot that nullifies projectiles first before firing back? We’ve seen this before in Juri’s Fireball kick.

It will be lame if they take away Devil’s reverse and teleport. But then again, if they make him more offensive, and give him good AA, he might not need it.

Still wonder if PC is in the game.

I will say it before, and I’ll say it again, if you want changes to the game, you had better go over the the Capcom unity forum. They actually listen to them over there. Right now they are arguing over putting in R Mika into the game. If you want to see better stuff for Bison, you had better say something now.

PC is in the game, but it has been repurposed into his ultra only just like in the Alpha era. Likewise he has a projectile attack again. I doubt we will see the Psycho Crusher special. The jury is out on the other two.

The bad thing about the ultra is there is no Psycho Crusher chip, since I presume if the first part does not connect Bison will not go into his Psycho Crusher animation. Which means the ultra may be very defensive and a short range attack. Although hopefully he still does, otherwise not only have they killed his escape options but his long range capabilities as well would have taken a hit (in favor of him being a close range monster).

That Psycho Uppercut, Psycho Sphere, and his Ultra all appear to have some decent AA properties.

E3 cannot come soon enough. I’m expecting to see the 4 revealed character to be playable and 2 stages to select from. That’s the least we can get. Maximillian commented on how all he plans on doing for E3 is just playing SFV non-stop and giving us every last detail of the game and the characters. So psyched to hear about Bison(and charlie)

Same here man, same here, E3 just can’t come soon enough , buts its okay

Yeah I agree, E3 can’t get hear fast enough.

I fear normal PC may be gone as well, yes, just like Alpha. If he has some stuff to make up for it, then I won’t mind, given that PC blows now. EX Pc is already such an average move and normal PC is below average, so it’t not a huge loss.

But EX PC in Omega was made of pure awesomeness :frowning:

If bisons dash is his teleport, then I wonder how his backdash will work, It doesnt bother me that PC could be gone, I did enjoy alpha bison.

i’d have a problem if scissor kicks weren’t there , but for some reason it dosen’t bother me much if he don’t have a PC in SFV.

Regular and not invulnerable, like all backdashes in this game should be.
