cr.LK xx LK Knee Press isn’t a true block string. This means that you can Red Focus the Knee Press.
Your opponent has to practise that since the window is exactly 1 frame.
Don’t even care if t.hawk was bottom tier, condor spire is now just stupid. That poor bison had to just endure the spam and hope to hell one of his normals would maybe beat it out.
I think they did this to balance the risk-reward on Bison’s wake up. Now if you want 150 damage you have to run the risk with EX Scissors, if that isn’t an option you want to consider you can continue to use a safer EX Psycho Crusher but at the reduced amount of 135. The current game is, “Well I’ll use Psycho Crusher because it’s safer on block and does a bit more damage anyway.” It sucks that EX Psycho is getting the nerf bat but the other options were to increase EX Scissors’ damage above 150 or make it -2 or better on block. Wasn’t really going to happen. At least all they did was reduce the damage and not the invincibility. EX Psycho Crusher will still have it’s place.

I agree with your words realy i haven´t analisy that point . however EX psycho is not safe . punishment ultra 1 Balrog Hurts rsrsrsr .even dee jay can punish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0m3D-EF_is
cr.lk xx lk scissors is a true blockstring (except against like 1 or 2 characters, like Sim). It’s cr.lk -> cr.lk that is not a true blockstring. The fact that Bison has a blockstring that is safe on block has always been one of his strengths.
If Gief is SPD’ing you after a blocked scissors it’s because you’re letting him. The game is more than 5 years old, you should already know this by now.
-Bison can now DWU on hard knockdown. So now you have a completely new defensive option.
-Yes, -1 on block means you can get ultra’d and super’d. Grapplers become scary with meter. Bison now becomes scary with meter. Meter is now super key in Ultra.
-Reversals were nerfed across the board. EX-PC did 140 damage in Vanilla. No one celebrated when it was buffed to 150 damage in Super because the buff was inconsequential. The “nerf” is not going to change the utility.
lol yeah, actually I think I was misremembering times when I would hit mk and get tge mk sk cause I was trying to pink the c.mk in the block string and got spd’d instead. your right though you can jump up.
EX PC is already punishable though by some characters and that video proves that EX SK will not help in the guile matchup.
I still want them to fix skull diver. Then I would at least have a follow up move for a downed opponent on sk (non-hard knockdown) that I would mix them up for potentially large damage, with low to large risk. I don’t care if I can be ultra’d, as long as its a real mixup.
Edit:
here we are at 6:50 bison comes out.
Notice how Combofiend is making the argument that the -1 isn’t a big deal. We shall see.
If you want to hear some things about MBison by a person who understands see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbQpFwJf0Xo
I didn’t know about the chip increase actually on the SK. I knew about the damage increase, and I still haven’t seen a confirmation on the increase in pushback. The higher chip IS a good thing though.
Another thing is that all the videos are of people not using the new stuff consistently.
Yeah, EX Psycho Crusher can be punished by a lot of things but it’s generally a safer wake up compared to EX Scissors. Also not enough players practise the punish situation against EX Psycho Crusher (Not that I advocate to spam it but if the opponent isn’t punishing, go ham).
The more I think about the chip damage increase, the more the -1 becomes more justified to me.
In the video of EMP Jiro vs that fuerte player, he does sk to c.lk, lk sk loops. So Bison pressure does still exist, it is probably just more technical now, because it does not have the same priority.
But with higher chip, it makes it more pressuring because it is more damaging per SK. This psychologically pressures the other player to lash out, which means Bison has a higher chance to whiff punish.
I thought the chip will be 25. If Kim estimation is correct, 1 blocked SK in Ultra do approximately the same damage of two blocked SK, than the chip damage may be on the range of 28-34, that’s a huge damage boost. Now if they will only buff Lk damage to 30 ,because it is Bison most consistent combo, than his damage will be pretty good.
But does he really need that? What I mean is, c.lk, s.lk, s.lk, s.mp, HK SK/PC isn’t that hard of a combo. Hell you can currently just do c.mk after the s.lk to heavy SK. This is one of my gripes with the s.mp. Not that it doesn’t have other uses, but its not that he can’t get better damage than c.lk xxx anyway as it is.
A good combo I think is going to be counter hit c.mp, c.mp s.mp, SK/PC. It will be good provided you are close of course.
Well the combo that you mentioned may not work on all characters and still has two 1 frame links.
3xcr.lk combo is very consistent and its Bison main b&b combo which he can land pretty easily in a round. If they buffed cr.lk damage than if Bison landed this combo 3 times he can take half of his opponent health, it add up the damage really fast.
I think this combo is character specific and pretty hard to land because of the push back.
Cr.lk to st. lk is an unplinkable 1 frame link, I never try it. Feels awkward, but that’s just me.
I would be 100% behind 30 damage Cr.lk, they can justify it for Rose but not for her better half?
I don’t find the s.lk to be that hard, but it isn’t as easy as c.lk xxx I’ll give you that.
Why the hell did they remove the 3 frame jab?
Better? Haha.
Why the hell did they remove the 3 frame jab?

I also don´t know. For you what would be the diferent possibilities that Bison could make to a 3 frames CrLp (jab)?
Spoken in the context of their shared backstory.
as you can see EX Psycho Crusher in not safe in USF4 , at 6:05 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O27pDpks2W4
