I’m not necessarily saying turtle up. It’s more about controlling distance. Bison has great pokes, and can stuff a lof of rufus’ options on startup. However, once they get close enough, it becomes possible for the rufus player to overwhelm a bison since he can’t really reversal anything. Dive kick beats out bisons best option close range (cr short). I’ve had the most success fighting rufus at around st. fwd range. St. fwd, st. roundhouse and short scissors let you apply pressure, and rufus doesn’t really have an answer to it without meter.
Rufus needs to jump to dive kick and roundhouse is pretty fast so you have the advantage from any distance. Also short is imo not very good. It does 30 damage, and only combos into light scissors. Crouching jab can combo into everything bison has and it sometimes beats dive kick. The only way Rufus can be trouble is when he gets EX bars. So by rushing him down at the begining of the match until he gets EX you have the complete advantage. I played a good 5 hours with Elias the other day and I know alot of extra cool stuff that puts Bison in a favorable position in this match up but as this is not the Bison thread I will refrain from posting it lol
Dennis?
P.S. Clayton, add it up if you want more Seth practice m8!
EDIT: The round at the Freeplay area,
Random Watching Fan:"You should have thrown a fireball!"
Jared+Clayton: “Ummm not vs. Seth with Ultra.”
Ya that’s me! I’ll add you as soon as my roomie is done being an asshole and playing Viva Pinata. What a tard.
that shit was great. I was thinkin “hey…thanks for the support, but no, that would be the worst idea ever, just as bad as jumping over those SB’s”
I watched this and I feel like I can take on Bisons now

oh man! the best speech ever! van damme is dope haha
Fo sho! Glad to see you made it on here man, hope you stick it out with Abel. I always wanted to learn how to play Abel, but his style and my funk didn’t flow well together. He’s Billy Badass in my opinion though!
True that! Tell them cats in Chi-town to watch out, depending on how my next 3 months of limbo stand as for moving out of my current place, I might be throwing down 3 more characters and rip some faces off!
Seth, Blanka, Dhalsim, Honda, Sagat (In that order) is who I will have learned in 3 months time.
