Pretty sure it was an air masturbation like Miria said.
Anyway, The costume code is gonna make or break this costume for me. It would be a great shame if they don’t add his cape after all this.
Where I was from it was dice hands all day

I never really noticed it till Capcom Vs SNK. I was like, “Bison looks like he’s beating his meat” and it just stuck around since.
Same here. We always joked about Bison rolling dice.

I’m not 100% sure, as I don’t have Balrog’s, but I don’t think any of the fighting chance costumes have had alternate versions so far.
I still don’t know how to activate the alternate lol.
It’s all punches and lk right?

Had planned to review my matches at work…but there’s a problem with that
I can’t safely review anything that has Mika or Laura in it due to the outfits most people pick
And those are the two characters I have the most consistent trouble with
Damn it @GetTheTables and your love of Laura’s skimpiest outfits XD

Don’t need another fighting stance honestly. Bison’s is boss.

In BL I rotate through all of her costumes, or at least try to. Not my fault that her wardrobe has like 1 SFW outfit. Depending on your work. 
Stupid sexy Laura.

I’ve debated the same thing.
Honestly I think the biggest key is the actual mental shift. Just changing characters isn’t necessarily going to do it because a lot of the characters in this game have sheanigans/BS you can fall back on.
What I will say is really beneficial about learning a new character even as a secondary/fuck around char is that it helps to open your brain up to things that you may have been aware of before but hadn’t really locked in. I’ve put time into 3-4 other characters at this point and even though I’m not really playing most of them anymore (Kolin might have legs depending on how she makes the season transition) I’ve learned valuable things with all of them that have helped me as a player.
Not sure about your location or availability but if you ever want to run sets to try out new chars or practice and I’m available I’m up for it.

What do you think?
Plus I’ve come to realize I can’t really blame my scrubbiness on the character since there are people playing her and actual bottom tier characters and reaching high ranks. Who all have you tried? I’ve messed around with birdie mainly but he’s just sooo slow in comparison. Most of the people I want to try are charge characters and that’s something I’ve never took the time to learn outside of training mode combo or trials.
But yeah we need to play some sets I think I’ll be in this weekend. I’m on the east coast around the Carolinas.
I don’t really disagree with anything, making tornado shot 44f from 48f is a pretty insane but I do think his fireball as it is now is absolutely trash and a big reason as to why he loses certain MUs
cr.mp being +6 seems like the least important thing there, but I understand why he wants it, close cr.mp combos need meter for Cody to get decent oki, otherwise he has to use MK ruffian or st.lp TC. If you could combo 2 cr.mps he’d get lk.ruffian so better oki
Yeah I’m in the same boat. If you follow Idom he just dicksmashes people online because he has his shit together. You only really see him run into the character’s weaknesses when he runs into other higher level players. So for online play, play who you like. 
I’ve put actual match time into Ken, Mika, Gief (this was way back in S1 though), Menat, a little bit of Juri and Falke, and now some Kolin. Out of all those I put the most time into Mika before switching to Laura, which even though they’re similar in style was still a big switch (especially come S3, har har). I considered Menat as an alternative character but ultimately bailed on that idea. Now trying out Kolin to see how that goes.
I should be around this weekend. I’m in MD so we should have a half decent connection. I recently updated to a stupid up/down speed which has helped stability a bit but it is still CFN so all bets are off.
Don’t care, I feel wishlists pretty pointless when Capcom already decided everything. We don’t even know the system general changes, so I can’t really say if some buffs are legit or not.
That bison was bottom tier in s1 is a misconception (mid tier would be more fair) and i think it was down to people not knowing how to play at max ability. He was much more fairly designed. For example psycho axe was always a good pressure tool from mid range and close mid range but his offence would be checkmated by characters with 3 frames (that tend to have low range normals anyway and cannot contest bison in mid range) decision to give him a 3 frame allowed him to have ridiculous up close pressure against any character.
Completely unnecessary and doesnt suit his character design.
Phenom took him to at least one major grand final, so I think he was fairly proficient with the character. He begs to differ that Bison didn’t suck in s1.
Or, to be precise, he thought the only reason he had success with Bison was because people didn’t know how to play against him, hence him switching to Necalli after playing Bison throughout all of SFIV.
I’m pretty sure the fighting chance costumes don’t actually have any alternate versions with the costume code.
