Thanks for your honesty and getting straight to the point again. Yeah EX psycho crusher is also liable to cody’s ruffian kick. I vs’ed a Cody a while ago, who consistently punished me with it. With regards to the bigger punishes, sometimes I just plain darn forget after using lk scissors all the time. I know skull diver can be anti-aired and FA’ed unless its EX, is DR the same? I think it’s safe to say, me and the other guy need to both work on our crouch tech.
For corner escapes, are there safer options than EX psycho crusher and teleport?
I’m not really in a position to critique anyone, but GITS was an awesome series. OST was pretty good too. Hope Production I.G. make a new one.
Skulldiver and DR can be AA’d, and some moves make the moves whiff completely, like Ryu cr.mk and Yang cr.lk, although Yang will be losing that in 2012. Skulldiver and DR can be focused punish on reaction, and the EX version can be focused on the first hit, and backdashed before the second hit. They’re really not good moves for attacking.
EX psycho escape from the corner is matchup dependent. Some characters can punish, others can’t. Some need meter to punish, and some need ultra.
Teleport should never be used to escape the corner. I can think of some situations, but generally it’s not a good idea. Against dive kick characters, you can use EX- Scissors to escape. EX headstomp can sometimes be used to escape if you hit, but if the opponent is walking back, you will get punished. It’s better to be patient and try to push your opponent back with your normals or cr.lk xx lk scissors.
Like I said, it’s situational. Sim’s U1 beats EX psycho/scissors, and the slide would make headstomp whiff and let him punish DR. He wanted to avoid the mixup/chip.
Hey there, I main Juri but I use Bison as my secondary, although I only ever played him casually before. Anyway, I used him for the first time competitively last Saturday at a small tournament. I was having a really bad day with Juri and seeing it was losers stages, I decided to bring out my Bison for the first time.
This is the result of that decision:

For the Sim MU I find it pretty useful to do meaty cr.mp/mk if I think he’s going to do wake-up ultra. If you do it right you can cancel the normal into back teleport to ensure safety

-0.34: Random Jump: Unsafe, he can flame kick
-0.35: After Throw, never knee press, try st mk, neutral jump, cr lk or st.hk if close
-0.48: Punish Rekka 2 with cr.mk xxx knee press

-1.13: Okay if you read OS
-1.26: Wiff punish with st.mk
Hah! I found this somewhat recent replay of me vs a Oni player on youtube and decided to put it here. It is the first time I’ve actually seen my game play on the internet. Very amusing and humiliating at the same time. Wish they had a replay where I actually won but w/e atleast I got a round here ( I was so sure that second EX-PC would have chipped him to death, I need to read up on my math…) :
Onemanarmada:
1st round:
-0.04: Psycho Crusher MP is very, very, very unsafe (only safe in max range and is very difficult!) so forget, use knee press LK
-0.08: Nice AA And good followup throw
-0.11: After throw, you can try ambigous crossup to open is guard, Roundhouse in wake up is never good idea (he can shoryou, ultra…)
-0.40: Nice read
-0.52: Against neutral jump, use st.HP (or Roundhouse but prefer HP)
-1.04: 3 random Psycho Crusher, you burn 2 ex for nothing and lost life: the first, is not close to punish him with, second, random and unsafe, and the third, very unsafe .why attack at this moment? you have better life so wait and punish him only and you win
-1.09: Pyshco crusher to punish: YEAH, it’s perfect
3rd rrd:
-1.47: Never Knee press HK cause unsafe, only Knee press LK
-2.26: knee press on wake up, good presure in a corner, nice
-2.09: After a safe slide, you Counter Hit him with cr mk, nice, but after you can cancel with knee press
-2.14: I don’t understand, after throw, why st mp?
-2.15: cr lk knee press to punish him
-2.19: you wan punish tatsu guard with cr lp+combo before he lands
Vs DOthan Ryu
Why U1?
Ok, i see, you attack a lot… why? i see a lot of forward dash, lot random knee press and your life decrease…
i cant say nothing cause i don’t play against ryu like you, sorry
Very solid Bison. Love him! Don’t overlook his turtiling abilities, you do like to jump in a lot but at times it did pay off. Be careful and smart, evaluate risk/reward but I feel you were doing this already.
I think you can work on your corner game a bit, Try to use stand heavy kick more to stop people from jumping, or a yomi headtomp really is devastating… that ryu was jumping in the corner more than he should of and you could of punished him harder for it.
Your usage of forward dash was very good, very nice reaction to fireballs. Bison’s dash is wonderful in the hands of a smart player.
Here is some of mine, forgive me for dropping super easy combos, my connection is too slow a lot of times and I get input
[media=youtube]kQ42XPdA0cs[/media] I am green dictator. I lose round 1 because of a combo drop/my connection, I should of just did jump neutral heavy kick to stand heavy kick and ended it to be safe
[media=youtube]SiQptNYLEaU[/media] vs guy… my spring in my stick is loose so I didn’t punish correctly a few times, like having headstomp come out lol
[media=youtube]fkpoZVbyss0[/media] I am red dictator, threw the game away round 3 because I messed up with chip damage… should of ex headstomped.
“Bison’s dash is wonderful in the hands of a smart player.”
Is very good against middle or bad player but against good player you cant forward dash free!
Fighting Theory:
In fact, where is you better place in this matchup?
Of course, the best range for bison is St MK max range, why? cause you can counter and wiff punsh ALL ryu’s normal move. When you dash, you lost your safe range and it’s very dangerous so, okay for surprise 1 or 2 time but bison is not viper or yun, is a poke character, so poke and back, see Kim1234 video or TUC to learn patient
Me against guy during Tournament ( i finish 2nd of this tournament, 1st Alioune (Yang), 3rd Starnab (Fei)

hmm … I understand, I will try to improve what you talked… And about U1 against Ryu, yes, I’m not very fast in the imputs to use the U2 Vs Ryu/Sagat, but I’mtrying to improve it…I Play on X360 and PS3 and i follow you (gagapa) on 360… Thanks for the tips, and sorry for the poor English, is that I am from Brazil!.
[media=youtube]QhTEN0Kcd-A[/media] last one until 2012 patch, I’m going to use more focuses in my game, you think I can bait pokes with dashing? I agree you can run into trouble if you are careless with them.
what happened at 0:35? Did I drop that or wasn’t deep enough?
At the end I should of done jump heavy punch into normal xx special for safe chip ko. She could of mashed ultra against the final stand medium kick.
What is startup on makoto’s ex overhead (Does Bison have a normal that can stuff it) isn’t it being slowed in 2012?
congratulations with tournament
