For the first time Iām genuinely feeling like I might have to switch from Bison permanently. Like, there was always the issue of being bullied because he doesnāt have a 3 frame normal or a reversal, but you can work around that. Right now itās starting to feel like there is a specific range that when your opponent figures it out, they can just jump on me for free all day. I got matched up with the same Laura three times, and I got bodied for free every single one. I was beating him in neutral, but as soon as he got in and started jumping within that deathzone, I was just fucked. Not a single version of jumping MP worked due to Bisonās weird semi-floaty jump. He was too close for cr. HP or st. MK. Headstomp only works if you pre-empt his jumping attack. I even tried AA jabs, but Bison doesnāt have those. So all I could do was block and pray my V-Reversal hit.
what kind of serious game doesnāt let lore dictate move properties?
Ryu, Urien, and Necalli should 7-3 most of the cast because of their canonical power levels. Itās fucking bullshit that they donāt. Their supers should probably do 100% damage to the rest of the cast.
I like to think, canonically, with a few standout exceptions, that most of the street fighters are fairly equivalent in terms of overall power. I donāt like to think the character Iām playing is a jobber in the story.
Thatās kind of what bothered me with the SFV story mode. Birdie should have been way tougher. Rashid just came off as weak. Necalli was utterly pointless. Karin is the strongest character in canon, donāt know why she didnāt just fight Bison in the first place.
Move around more. I tend to back dash more against opponents that jump in to much just to be at the right range where cr. Hp is actually useful. Also if hell attack aint working use jump back lp. Its 3frames, but you just have to be ready for the jump.
Or you can just be smart and pick Urien.
