i wants my news
DR should have crossup abilities. It should be useful on wakeup for something that ISN’T empty DR into throw.
And for all the things we hate/like about it, first and for most they need to give it armor break.
A polite PM has been sent. hang tight!
EDIT: for those of you who might be confused, I meant a polite PM has been sent to Trolle asking him to come here to fill us in when he could, not that he has sent ME a PM. lol.
omg omg ogm omg ogm gmg ogm omg!
/dies
I admit…I occasionaly play Bison…and I want to hear this news about him. I know, all the current info is gear’d toward the 3S crew, so I would like to know whats going on with the other characters.
don’t keep your hopes up. we know he messed around with akuma a bit and went ahead and posted in the akuma thread…unless he just forgot i’d think he might have swung by here as well? meh…i wouldn’t blame trolle if he forgot to do bison’s trials/didnt have time, it’s nice that he even offered to do it for me/us. i’m going to hang out online for another hour or so before i hit up the training room, but i just don’t wanna get all hyped for nothing.
PS in my PM I asked Trolle to just come here instead of responding directly to me, so if we get news it’ll end here before my inbox.
That’d be nice.
I do feel sorry for Bison. When the arcade of SFIV came…Bison was top 5, easy, and why shoudn’t he be…he’s the SFA and SFII boss, one of the most feared villians in gaming, and has alwas been a feared character to fight(except the Vs. series…poor bastard). He had some say so in top 5 with the console release with 2 months worth…after that, people started figuring out his game…and now…even if he is Mid tier(semi-high tier in proper hands)…I main Guile, and I just don’t fear Bison at all.
I know, Guiles matchup against Bison is 6-4(one of the few matches Guiles has in his favor)…but still…I just don’t fear him altogether. Maybe Psycho Punisher might change that.
Alpha123 Bison was shit tier compare to his ST self. Anytime I see a Bison that is bloated with a cape, it always makes me puke. They didn’t do Bison justice till CVS2.
He stated in the Akuma thread that he didn’t have very much time to play, so it’s very possible we won’t be receiving an update today/tomorrow.
lol nobody is feared of bison. instead bison fears everybody in sf4.
yup, just read that wootsick. sad face.
i would like to see next update to feature returning cast’s new moves and fixes/features, then next/last update to feature hakan
When is the next update, by the way?
never… bison will never be feared and he will only get slightly new fixes/changes
never… bison will never be feared and he will only get slightly new fixes/changes
yeah im sure everyone that is about to play kuma or andre is thinking, man i get a free win? great!
and btw i still remember your stupid pseudo-troll posts in the bison forum. STFU and go practice your scissor kicks.
As much as I don’t want to agree with heroicmedic … I really think that, given what we know about the other changes so far, we need to temper our expectations.
Guile is “more Guile-y” … presumably only very basic changes to a low-tier character. Gen had the two things that actually made him scary – his jump arc and mk xx hands – nerfed.
Realistically … we’re definitely going to see a better PC. Definitely better j.MP. Anything else is a “maybe” at best. Maybe see DR/SD crossup. Maybe see a few frames shaved off of headstomp’s arc. I doubt SK will change, but god help us if it’s no longer safe on block. s.RH could go either way. Making it FADC-able would be amazing … but I could see them adding a startup frame to it, too. Better frames on c.MP would be nice … Ryu gets c.MP, c.MP (2-frame link, no less), so why not Bison? Not holding my breath on that though.
Other than that I really don’t see anything else changing. Personally I don’t even have my hopes up for anything more than PC/j.MP changes.
^^^yeah what Laudanum SAID
yeah i agree wholeheartedly delirium. i dont have my hopes up for anything radical, just the expected changes you suggested, but to me having a USEFUL PC is going to be more than enough. anything besides that is just going to be a huge boost. i really doubt they’re going to do something stupid like make scissors unsafe…I really don’t think capcom is stupid enough to think Bison has anything that actually needs nerfing. S.RH is overrated and I really hope Capcom knows this. It is slower than Sagat’s but with less recovery time, Sagat’s is one frame faster with more recovery time (wtf capcom, a 5 frame roundhouse???)…I think at the least it will just stay the same and will probably get a damage boost.
and yeah heroicmedic was essentially correct, he’s just going to get a few minor tweaks, but he still annoys me 
BTW heroicmedic, im just taking the piss, don’t get mad. seriously though work on those scissor kicks, they’ll come out eventually
I do not even see j. MP being changed. Now psycho crusher, Capcom has to be crazy if they don’t buff the start-up and recovery a little, but also not putting it past them as character re-balancing seems to be a very SMALL focus from what is being said from the blogs. They take a little here for some and for some they don’t give back, if they nerfed Gen i don’t want them touching Bison.
