How awesome would it be if Dic could get his cape? That alone is enough to make me buy this game.
cr.lk doesnt need any advantage on hit, there’s training mode for that, we don’t need any leniency in continuing that combo on hit, what we need is for one or two more frames on BLOCK so that short short short scissors becomes a true blockstring. its a great pressure string and out of all of bison’s combos/strings, this one should be the safest. right now its cr.lp, s.lp, cr.lk xx scissors which is fine but short short short is more of a pressure tool imo, the fast low hitting repetition allows for a lot of mindgames like tics and frame traps. cr.lk, s.fierce punch (counter hit), cr.mk xx scissors would be an even better mixup than it already is.
dictator needs a damage boost. i think we can at least expect a slight boost in scissor kick and normal damage. it’d be great if he had some cool FADC combos if he got a new special normal that would help facilitate that. remember how good beta crusher was? well now that capcom has seen and im sure they’ve heard about how useless psycho crusher is, they might give us something remotely similar to beta crusher which would be great and much more reminiscent of ST bison. I wonder why they didn’t allow skull diver or DR to cross up? I guess in planning they thought they were already powerful tools? well they certainly have the potential to be. DR’s hitbox needs to be angled down better, almost like a jump in fierce and skull diver needs more active frames so that we can activate it at the peak of headstomp reset, that way if they opponent tries to punish with a normal or a DP, we might at worst get a trade in our favor.
cr.lk might not be a true blockstring but I’ll be damned if it isn’t the scariest poke string in the game. The amount of mistakes I bait out with it are ludicrous.
It’s f’n terrifying as non-Bison player. Also, without a 3-frame invincible DP (thanks Capcom, Ryu certainly didn’t have other tools), it’s f’n awesome if you have your timing down. Forgive my ignorance if other DPs go through as well, but my understanding is they won’t if you get the timing right.
Every dp in the game can pick the hole in that string. Pretty sure it’s safe against Rog headbutt though.
Yes! Fear its pathetic damage!
I certainly think Bison should get +1 on block and hit for crouching short.
whaaaaaaaat? s.HK do 150 damage? are you crazy? that would be overpowered. What a stupid suggestion:mad:
So how would you feel about EX Skull Diver giving juggle state?
Calm down…breathe.
I have to agree, but just to put it in perspective, alot of Sagat’s normals already do 140.
Yes lol…you get hit by full roundhouse it’s ding ding ding 150 damage.
s.HK does 150 damage on counter hit I think. Having it do 150 full time is slightly overpowered. I would like his other normals to do a bit more.
I’d feel more than okay about anything ridiculously good for Bison, but realistically i doubt it’ll happen. hypothetically i don’t see how it could launch, just in visual terms. like someone suggested slide be a launcher, but i dunno it just seems awkward. if anything i’d like cr.fierce to launch, that makes more sense. imo. by just giving skull diver the ‘priority’ it needs it can actually be a legit mixup. im not sure though, how would you envision the juggle state? Personally I just want an Alpha esque skull diver. If I were to really stretch it, I’d say give the damn thing EX armor…to preempt the ‘it’d be too powerful!’ comments, think about it, it’s virtually useless now. adding something like armor to it would make it work as it’s supposed to, a legitimate follow up. ALL of Bison’s specials are countered by NORMALS including EX Psycho Crusher. to stretch it even more, it’d be cool if he had several follow up options a la messiah kick. lp, mp, and hp all doing different variations. one of which can be armor breaking, the other two FA’able but hitting low or high etc. Once again though I doubt it.
i like how i said ‘remember beta crusher’ like i actually saw it lol. all i read though were descriptions and man i want that beta crusher bad. it seems like the most realistic buff since it was already in place at some point
As to the above discussion on short strings, i don’t understand how it’s scary at all. it takes off like the health of a friggin s. roundhouse and its certainly not scary if you have a DP. You can DP it on block for free, it’s not a matter of linking it right on block because on block there’s a gap between the hits because of blockstun. If scissor kicks got more damage so that short short short xx scissors did something like 200 plus damage, then that’d be scary and would be in no need of having it be safe on block, but with the currently pathetic poke damage it does, it needs moar blockstun.
As much as i hope for a lot of these changes i don’t think a lot of them will happen. Bison will get a new ultra, PC fixed and that’s probaly just it… :crybaby:
Sagats roundhouse is very slow, not good startup, and dont work at ground games. so its well balanced
the only normal that need more damage is c.lk
Actually, the first hit comes out in 5 frames compared to 6 for Bison and I’d argue(along with most people) that it has a better hitbox both on the ground and as anti-air
Taunt suggestion
This may be really silly but I want to have these as a taunt
“YES, YEEESSS”
“This iz DELISHUS”
Sagats kick > Bisons kick
seriously, its not even debatable
ALL his moves should go up in damage. Not insanely, obviously, but sHK and all his specials, fo sho
