The Bison Thread

Sweet, our own sub forum.

Being in Europe suuuuucks mayn. Have to wait another 3 days yet :frowning:

In SF4, a good player would be able to bait scissor kicks with a neutral jump and dismantle you as we all know. What I’m interested to know is, if he can use the same keep-out game, if they try to n.j the scissors we have the time to dash out, j.mpx2 into big damage combo. GG’s.

What special moves are safe on block?

Let me post my thoughts on Bison so far. I’m not maining him in here. He doesn’t feel good to me personally, but it’s because I haven’t adjusted yet. I’m still stuck in SF4 mode and I think I’ll take this time to pick up new characters for the launch window of this game first. The charge timing may be slightly different in this game and it is giving me execution problems.

Damage is easier to do with Bison once you can stick your foot in so to speak. Chains guarantee people won’t be trying to uppercut through your links. People want to get in your face a lot. They will try to play you as SF4 Bison. You have to back out and chip with LK Scissors. MK and HK aren’t really much of an option because they’re lower damage and they juggle for you. Meeting people air to air is better in this game. It happens very often as well. So against aerial attacks, it’s simply beat them out or meet them. Beat them out in air, catch them before they touch the floor and punish with MK or HK scissor kick and juggle some damage. Corner pressure with LK Scissor and poke with mk~hk or mp~hp chain. Confirm into a cross rush and I guess pick a good secondary to compliment Bison in damage and meter gain.

I don’t have any good ideas on how to capitalize him yet but since I use Law primarily now, I had a Fury Fist Rush punting people mid-air, then I’d tag in Bison to j.MP, j.MP, s.MP~s.HP xx Super or something silly.

Can’t wait to play as Dictator in a few hours!!!

wth @ that zombie bison video
look at 1:16…Headpress hit and Bison didn’t bounce back. Am I missing something…? :S

On KO he just drops to the ground. Otherwise he’ll bounce.

ah figures. That’s kind of weird, since I don’t really recall that happening in any other game.

Bison’s voice is set to English for me now

Im liking Bison, I just trying to figure out a team and the gem aspects.

I’m not feeling Bison in this game. st.Forward is godlike but that isn’t that fun to use all day.
Rolento/King is fun as shit. Also I’m looking for someone to pair Lili with. I don’t see myself maining Lord Bison, but I’ll run him on alt teams.

Auto correct psycho crusher is good to chase down forward rolls. Getting it out consistently takes some time though.

Best to run someone on second who can dish out tons of damage and loves corners.
Steve, Hugo, King, Heihachi and Marduk are some characters on top of my head right.

Think it’s also best to give Bison defensive gems. Defense and meter seems really important, because imo Bison’s main role should be playing footsies to get that hitconfirm you need to get into the corner for the tag cancel.

I think bison is good for battery too

Well, he is certainly fun again lol. NMB ex scissors all day lol.

What exactly should I be doing after Bison gets tagged in after a launcher? I keep trying to find a way to land Hell Attack. Got damn, Bison controls really horribly in this game though. Feels like I’m playing him with a busted NES advantage.

It pains me to say this. But i might give up on Bison in this game…just not feeling him.

Spiosaurus, it’s not connecting bro…unless i’m doing something wrong.

Things im noticing…

-you need super clean inputs to get a scissor kick out. There is no leniency like in ssf4. You must end in forward or you get the normal.

-stand hk hitbox is different, having big time issues AAing if I’m spaced like in SSF4. If I’m spaced a different way… it works.

-As for neutral anti air to airs, I’m liking neutral jump medium kick

-he’s good for utility… helping characters who have issues getting in with his stand mk to hk to launcher/whatever its called

-his reverals and warp come in handy if you need space to switch

-I use mostly pokes and chain combos for now… play lots of footsies

-hes good at timing out

-figuring out crossup… was told jump hp does it now… need to check

these are just day one impressions. He is very different but he seems more like a team player that offers utility. Again this is just day 1 impressions.

Interesting, Psycho Crusher doesn’t go into recovery when it hits the corner.

njMK is pimp. And yes u have to be precise to get SKs. In general I don’t like them. Too much of a startup animation. I don’t like that bison doesnt seem to have many options after being tagged in

I REALLY hate the sound going away when health is low. Gonna change that option.

QFT.

all I have to say is his damn c.lkx3 > lk scissors is now tougher for me I’m use to going d/b and d/f on the stick, any idea why it’s d/b to f now instead?

LK scissors need to be buffed :frowning:
