Thats how i feel, its very rare that I even use Nightmare booster in a match.
His new ultra was shown COUNTERING Guile…
Visually, it’s one of the best of the original ultra’s. I use it more than you would think is possible. Meaty slides, punishment after baiting a wakeup SRK or what have you, punishing other ultras, jMP (usually after a baited jump), trust me, it aint landing as much as Ryu’s, but I still get it off every match or so. Maybe you’re just doing it wrong lol.
And I will likely still use both, depending on who I fight, and depending on how much more useful his new one is. I don’t see them NOT tweaking his current ultra a bit.
Also, it’s already been stated his new ultra is comboable the same as his old on. I just wonder if it will be able to land after a FADC.
Actually, it was shown punishing a random use of guile’s new ultra, which has been said to have some start-up, with his ultra.
i think they should make his hk slide start up faster. it’s doesn’t have as much utility as the other slides, so it should at least be faster. blanka and dhalsim can both go under fireballs and use it against broken trip guards. even though bison’s leaning back, he’s still easily kicked in the face if you try to use it in that manner against jumps.
The Damage is good, 540 (max) or something by itself which isn’t weak, just a little less than Sagat’s. Really good for chipping as well.
Fireball invincibility, after a lot of shoto Cr. MKs Nightmare Booster eats them alive. Not to say this new one doesn’t though.
Makes his Focus attack an option select (You can backdash, Ultra and make full contact - unlike a few other characters)
It’s an anti air that you can combo into - Some characters were left in the dark but Bison has a fully reasonable way of combo for his Ultra.
Looks good 
These reasons satisfied me enough during SFIV, I certainly don’t use his Ultra every time though but I’ve never complained about it. I’m all for Psycho Punisher being a better Ultra - I just think Nightmare booster is decent and suits Bison well.
I think the only Ultras better than Bison’s are as follows: Ryu’s, Sagat’s, Balrog’s, Rufus’, Chun Li’s. Mainly cause of combo ability but also just overall usefulness. Some of the other characters are able to combo their Ultra but they are significantly less useful for whatever reason.
I hope, scissor fadc ultra2… would be badasss!
god dammit just give me psycho banish.
i think bisons j mp needs some work. not the one that combos into the ultra thats fine. the goofy looking one that makes him seem like a ballerina. that is all.
I don’t know if its asking to much but i’d like to see at least light psycho crusher be safe. I just…psycho!!!
Light psycho crusher is pretty much safe at the right distance.
To true forgot you can actually block if you do it from the right distance
Nah, I probably just play players who know their spacing, FADC, don’t throw random ultras, and don’t fall for Dictator’s shenanigans anymore. 
Apart from the Rufus match up and the occasional yomi hell attack/clutch focus crumple, it might as well not exist.
I’d still pick Nightmare Booster against Rufus, but that’s about it…
If NB was as useful as it is in the Rufus match up I would have no complaints about Dictator at all in SF4. As far as changes go I’m hoping that the “dominant” characters have their risk/reward toned down.
I honestly think Dictator is a well balanced character, it’s the other characters I’m not too keen on.
I am glad they gave him a way to punish projectiles while I still use nightmare booster I have to dash ultra or anticipate the fireball.Nightmare booster can punish demon flips, jump ins,TK, and can be focused into.While he has options it’s not stupid like sagats ,ryus, vipers, rogs, rufus or other characters ultra.Which sums him up. A solid character without a stupid go to move or way to combo into ultra.
That being said this ultra helps against projectiles and hopefully he will get a buff or too. Reason being you can’t buff guile and not buff bison.The same way they nerfed sagat but also nerfed akuma by taking away the loop which was a glitch but not gamebreaking and he certainly wasn’t broken.Also it would have been nice for sagat to have a 6-4 but either way by having a bad matchup against a low tier char that needed buffing Bison should get buffedfor balance sake.And I think the ultra was a step in that direction.
Hmm for Super4 i want M.bison to have his scrape special move from CvS2, i want PC and Scissor Kick to have better properties.
I’m tierd of getting my moves being stuffed by random meaty attacks

During the CES event could Dictator do Jumping MP, MP–>Ultra II?
Tizoc: *yes you can hell attack into psycho punisher, confirmed a few pages back I think. I think the poster also said you have to do it at the peak of the opponent’s jump, but that’s usually when I land hell attack anyways.
BlkHurricane: *PC and scissors being stuffed by random meaties? I don’t get it. you mean like people being able to jab you out of scissors or stuffing PC with normals? I think that it makes sense to be able to jab out of bison’s scissors, it happens to blanka ball, it happens to Tatsu, TAP, and I’m sure a bunch of other specials can just be stopped by a random poke. It’s not Bison specific, so it’s a meh thing imo.
*We all know PC is garbage. EX PC is decent, but not all that anymore. The classic EX PC getting stuffed by normals cleanly without trade sucks, but the oddest thing by far is the weird fireball absorption…they need to give it properties that are more stable, its just too weird when you absorb fireballs sometimes and can’t in other times, sometimes it even absorbs two fireballs and neutralizes the PC. Shits just weird and can’t really be done on reaction so those properties are kind of useless as is. Only time I manage to do it successfully is when I don’t plan on it. Of course EX scissors is best, but EX PC shouldn’t be such a toss up. It either should or shouldn’t have anti-fireball properties and not be so situational imo because if you can’t really do it on reaction whats the point of having that property in the first place? Maybe its just me though, I dunno, thoughts?
My thoughts is that normal Psycho Crusher should stuff fireballs.
If a spinning fat man can do it why cant Dictator.
Been saying it since the beginning. Here’s hoping its going to be a late addition that they’re just keeping quiet.
This absolutely needs to be done, and I’m sure will have a resolution one way or the other. Hopefully it will retain its absorbing properties, at least being able to absorb one projectile and still hit.
Fake slide from HDR would be an awesome addition, but I’m not going to be holding my breath.
