I use Bison/Lili, curious how Bison/Christie would be
I use Bison/Lei so it’s pretty good I would say. Lei has alot of mixups and invincible moves like Christie.
Using Bison x Julia now, and it’s working pretty well. Julia has the mixups and raw damage potential, and Bison has the footsies and easy ways to get in. Not the most synergistic team, probably, but they’re two characters I get along really well with.
I think Bison Akuma could be a scary footsies/lameout team. Using Bison to get a nice life lead, then keeping it by playing incredibly defensive footsies and runaway.
I like that team combination. My favs since CvS2. I like Bison/Lars.
Hell I def undervalued bison in this version.

It’s funny that you mention CvS2 because I think his new s mp is like CvS2 s mp in your ability to bully people with it and create better spacing for lk scissors.
I use Bison/Hworang…I find I need an anchor who can do damage.
Can you describe a little how this team plays? That was actually the team I was starting to look at.
Yes Bison is a beast. He was already good but heck I’m having more fun now. They nerfed the Hitbox on St.MP but not by much so it is still a great poke and you can use it to link after a MK SK. This tool is definitely what he needed. When spaced properly, you can even AA people but I don’t recommend it.
Dictator has very strong footsies, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to footsie/zone them into frustration and then footsie into launcher. With Hworang, your playstyle changes almost 180 as Hworang has extremely strong rushdown and high/low tactics. Frame trap everywhere (s lk, s mk, s mk, s hk xx special step dynamite heel, repeat), mixup block strings with high/low (s lk, s mp, s mp c hk vs s lk, s mp, s mp xx ex dynamite heel)
Tag combos that I use most often are: [dictator] j hp, cl mk, s mp, s hp xx ex scissors tag cancel [hworang] j hk s hk xx hk hunting hawk is 473 damage with more than half a meter gain, vs [dictator] j hp, cl mk, s mp, s hp xx super is 477 damage with 1/3 meter gain. If you opt for two c mk instead of the s hk into hunting hawk the damage and meter gain change to respectively.
Off of a Hworang bnb you can get a cl mp, s hp, psycho but generally I stick with c mp, c mp psycho.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: Hworang builds meter very quickly for dictator to use.
It’s not bad in that they cover for each others weaknesses, both are solid characters, and synergy is worth the meter (unlike, say, my dictator/Bryan team which has no real synergy).
What would you guys say are perfect pairings for bison? I’m thinking
Cody, kaz, juri, sagat , Nina, Abel, shotos, raven, hwo, so on.
Trying to find the most perfect synergy for him (little bit of an obsession I have, perfect pairings.

It just depends on what your goal is for your team.
Okay well the truth is I’m having trouble picking Bison/Nina or Bison/Lars. I’m thinking bison Lars cause I get blown up with keep away using Nina. But dat AA on.Nina is disgustingly good. But Lars mobility and frame traps are insano good.

Honestly now that Lars has a grounded AA you should be good. With Bison/Lars, you should be straight because that will be a frame trap monster so I would say try Lars.
I use Bison/Nina and I think they work pretty well together. She does really good damage now.
anyone using bison/vega? it’s like having two point characters that have a lot of synergy. they complement each other in damage/combos and set each other up for strong high damage meter burns. the only issue is that they don’t remedy any of each others weaknesses, i.e. having two point characters.<br><br>if anyone else is using this combo, lets synergiiiize and talk some shop.<br><br>if this doesn’t work out im going to start experimenting with bryan, yoshi and ogre. probably yoshi first because of that overhead into that spinny move. any move that lasts a good bit and leaves a character grounded is really good for bison i think because you can spend a meter to get st.fierce xx roundhouse scissor combos. that and launch characters so you can burn meter for hell attack combos. this is why I like vega, he has medium rolling crystal attack (whatever its called) and EX version that can be converted into big damage by bison. also scarlet terror can be cancelled for hell attack combos and the medium scarlet terror can be pandora’d for st.mk, st.hp xx super midscreen or crouching medium kick in the corner. <br>
I’ve been messing around with Bison/Bryan but i can’t find any good combos for Bryan off of a tag. I’ve got Bryan’s solo combo’s down but it seems like they only designed him to combo on his own lol. Little to no juggle potential off of a tag from Bison. However one-two punch combo xx fisherman’s TAG into St.MP, St.HP xx Psycho crusher does some decent damage and it’s easy.
As for Yoshi, he works well with a lot of the cast, i haven’t used him with Bison too much yet but the tag combos do decent damage and are easy.
Also in terms of synergy and good team combos, Ogre is one of the best partners in this game. He does EASY damage and has so much potential for tag-in combos it’s insane. He’s not insanely good on his own but when it comes to tagging in/out i think it’s safe to say he works well with pretty much everyone.
I do use Yoshi x Ogre and Bryan x Yoshi, but Bison x Bryan is giving me trouble. Don’t know how long my love for the characters will keep me motivated lol.
Bison/Bryan seems kinda weak. I really wanna play Bryan but not working out with Bison I think. Bryan sets up nothing for Bison and Bison sets up mediocre stuff for Bryan.
I might try Ogre for a high damage second character. I really dont have a gameplan I want to implement yet. I do want to try and play Bison though and not just use him to launch into a high damage partner, so synergy is what I’m shooting for. I got Doryas down and Bison leads to high damage Kaz stuff with everything but Kaz leads to mediocre Bison combos.
Vega/Bison has crazy good combo synergy. The problem is no grounded anti-airs and mixup potential. You can however do anything with Bison combo wise depending on what you end with Vega and Bison gives Vega has bnbs and some basic cosmic heel stuff. Vega also leads into Bison pandora anywhere on screen for the kill. Also, Vega’s boost is high enough to let Bison do st.mp, st.hp xx hp crusher/scissors anywhere on screen consistently and easily.
Combo examples for reference:
-Bison cr.short, st. short, st. mp xx mk scissors, st. mp xx crusher > tag > st. mk, cr. mk, cr. mp xx heavy scarlet terror
-Bison crossup j.mk, st.fierce, st. mp (cr. mk) xx mk scissors, st.mp xx hp crusher > tag cancel > vega bnb
-Bison cr. short, st. mp, st. mp xx mk scissors, st. mp xx hk scissors > tag > cosmic heel, cosmic heel, cr. mp xx heavy scarlet
-Vega st. fierce, cr.mp xx light rolling crystal > tag > st. fierce, st. mp xx mk scissors, st. mp xx hp crusher
-Vega st. fierce, cr. mp, st. fierce xx EX rolling crystal > tag> jumping fierce, st. fierce xx hk scissors, st. mp xx hp crusher
-Vega st. fierce, cr. mk, cr. mp xx mk scarlet terror, cosmic heel, cr.mp xx heavy scarlett terror > tag > hell attack, st. mp, st. hp xx hp crusher
-Vega st. fierce, cr. mk, cr mp xx mk scarlet terror > Pandora Cancel into Bison > st.mk, st. hp xx super art
