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

I agree.

Unfortunately walking like a “bawss” doesn’t help you in footsies. LOL.

It visually looks nice, but until he’s in V Trigger it just holds you back gameplay wise.

I dunno I kinda like the slow walk speed gameplay wise. I mean in all my time playing 4 I couldn’t stand playing with anybody with a slow walk speed, but I had no problems using Bison in the beta…

Of course all you actually needed in the beta was know how to anti-air and block and you won 85% of your matches with that alone, but we’ll see how it effects him when the game is released. But it’s very aesthetically pleasing and that counts for a lot right now.

Bison’s arrogance will be his downfall. Having a shitty walkspeed because he’s the boss falls into that territory.

I haven’t played him yet to be honest (I’m saving myself), but it will take getting used to.

Bison lost walkspeed, but his dash is fine, scissors is still around, his anti projectile tool is fast and doesnt require any kind of buffer, and his aa is almost guile levels.
With his current tools, he is able to mantain dominance in neutral game.

It’s not as hard to adjust to as you might think. I hate using Makoto in SF4 and Bison was no problem for me. I guess it’s similar to how Seth has slow walk speed, but because he has a good dash and a lot of movement options that you don’t really notice it. That’s not to say Makoto’s dash isn’t godlike, but I always feel weighed down by her walk speed.

I have a strange feeling Bison won’t be included in the next beta since they want to mix things up, but hopefully I’m very wrong.

While I kind of want to see how he plays after all the changes, I’d be totally down for swapping out the first 6 reveals for the next 6 (Ken, Necalli, Vega, R.Mika Rashid, Karin). I mean, Bison’s my boy but almost all of those characters interest me more than the other first 5 reveals.

Bison gets abused in the new Zangief trailer! Makes me so mad.

He can now teleport without V-Trigger.

What the fuck Capcom!!! Now they will never stop! Get ready for pitch forks and riots!

(BTW this is a strange yet glorious change)

This is probably just a graphical change

If it’s just a graphical then what’s the point? Can I at least go through characters and projectiles? And doesn’t this diminish the uniqueness of the v trigger which mainly buffs his mobility? Seems like an odd change considering Bison was already in a good spot.

Because it looks cool? In VT he might gain Slayer dash properties but no graphical alternations, so he’ll play exactly the same as he did before this.

It would also be super misleading. I think the only street fighter where someone could be hit while they were invisible was 3s with that tentacle guy.

Maybe now:
default dash: short, low invul, doesn’t change sides
vtrigger dash: long, high invul, change sides

Needs more teleport back dashes if this is ‘just for appearances’.

Although honestly, it would be quite misleading if it had zero invulnerability. I also kinda enjoyed it as a V-Trigger only feature, it reminded me of the SF2 Animated Movie where there is a difference between Bison fighting with and without Psycho Power to give his opponent a chance.

I would laugh if regular dash’s teleport made him immune to projectiles. They seem almost completely useless in this game already.

Regular dash = teleports now?

Bawss mode confirmed.

Bison the new demitri…ahh yeaa!
