wow… my chest hurts from how hard I’m laughing right now.
So I’ve been looking at all these combos using shortcut motions into FADC into ultra set up ish and I can’t help but think, " Wow I’m so lucky I picked up Bison from the beginning." Not only are his combos easy mode but he doesn’t have any “terrible” match ups, he has beefy normals, good pressure and he has decent health. The only hard part is knowing when to use each of his attacks as they all have unique abilities to stuff certain moves of each of your opponents, a skill that you can only learn after months of using SF4 Bison and learning all of his match ups. I honestly don’t feel like I will ever have to pick up a second character… HAIL LORD BISON!

I get frustrated with Bison because he is good, but he doesn’t really have anything I would consider cheese. EX Headstomp is pretty obsolete a lot of the time nowadays that everyone knows ways around it.
Don’t get me wrong he is very very strong, but he doesn’t have anything I really consider all THAT abuseable, nothing comparable to say, Rufus Dives and easy mode ultras, Sagat Fireballs or Roundhouse, Ryu’s easy mode ultra juggles or trades…
I still love him though.

I agree. Bison is tight in this game. He feels like a pretty complete character to me. I wish I had picked him up instead of the characters I play now.

I think I am almost certainly going to switch to Viper or Sakura, or maybe Gouken after evo. Right now it is way too late to pick up a new character considering I would have to learn all the matchups… but I find SFIV match videos to be pretty boring most of the time, unless a sick Viper is playing, and then it just looks raw as hell.
It’s weird because I remember thinking she sucked so bad, and it turns out she’s hella good.

Why wouldn’t you keep using Bison? I think he’s one of the more solid, complete characters in the game. Viper is haaaaaaaaard, very technical. The bad matchups seem rough too (Zangief, Honda). Sakura seems promising, but you don’t really have a frame of reference yet with the console characters.
When I think about it, I’m not even sure who I should play for a secondary. I just know I need someone with a shoryuken, most likely Ryu. And I really wanna play Cammy as well. I just wish I could test shit right now so badly.
wong beat daigo? HAHAHA not this year. im tryna see MAGO.
the days of headstomp spam are over, sad but true. youre lucky to catch somebody sleepin with a headstomp nowadays.
also wassup with this easymode cuz im tryna get on. i do the regular bnb, then if i do fadc im lookin for a tick throw so i can do it again or bnb again but end with a psycho crusher instead of scissor kick for coolguy factor and like 10hits and that shit is not easy for me and im not consistent with it at all.
also what fadc ultra with bison? are you talking about a raw lvl 2 or 3 fa, then dash to ultra? good luck with that one, id only go for that on a dizzy cuz we dont have a lot of people up here that will still sleep on a fa.
i almost want to main bison cuz i like the way he plays more than anyone else in the game but i switch to so many characters because he just doesnt have everything to work with my playstyle. no one does at this point in time.
CAN YOU SAY DEEJAY? come get some ugly ahahahah

Mandel why don’t you come over sometime?
I just want to expand who I can use in the game for fun purposes mainly.
Jacob: You can even do lvl 3 focus against airborn people, dash, j. mp x2, ultra, pretty tight. I haven’t done it in a match yet though.
And I agree, Psycho crushers in combos are way more stylish than Scissor kicks, even though they do EXACTLY the same damage and stun. Crossup mk, cr. jab , cr. jab, cr. mk, psycho is so simple but like a classy deboinaire gentleman’s combo.
I cannot for the LIFE of me do scissor, FADC, cr. lk. The lk NEVER combos, I haven’t even seen it in a video, apparently it can be done but I CANNOT get that shit to work EVER, and I really wish I could because then I could do ill stuff like crossup, bnb, fadc, bnb and then save the rest of my meter for get out of jail card.
i think cammy has damage on her side but chun is better all around so cammy would just be for fun. ryu moves better than sagat and still does good damage, and his ultra setups are pretty easy to land and you wont be tempted to beast and throw in f+rh and possibly miss if youre a scrub like me.
i wish i played viper shes sick but like mandel said, way too technical. sakura seems pretty good too. you should definitely keep bison in the lineup though
I’m surprised as how low the requirements are for running SFIV on PC. My budget rig built last year for Fallout 3 can run 1600x1200 with all of the tweaks maxed out (including 8x FSAA) without ever dipping below 60fps. Superb when you consider that my processor was acquired for $40 last July. It’s a port of a console game–with modest polygon count and particle effects–but I’m still surprised at how hardware UN-intensive the game is. Anyone can run this puppy on PC. And if your computer is 4+ years old, just pick up a low-end shader model 3 card for $40 to $80.
Not a big fan of the “extra touch”, though. I think I prefer to have that turned off. And that’s saying a lot considering how I’m not a fan of SFIV’s look in general.
Jacob: You can even do lvl 3 focus against airborn people, dash, j. mp x2, ultra, pretty tight. I haven’t done it in a match yet though.
thats tight, id mess that up all day but thats what ima go for
after the scissor kick its easier to cr jab. thats how ive been doing it lately but ive only pulled off the “cole” bison combo once in game. hes the first person i saw do it so i decided its the “cole” combo. i do 3 cr jabs, cr mk, psycho crusher.
you could really style on niggaz and bnb twice, then end with the psycho crusher one and use all your super bar for a dope ass like 15 hit combo that probably does like 800 stun and i dont even care how much damage it does cuz you automatically win out of rawness. keeping the extra bars for ex sounds better than this combo unless they will die or their girlfriend is watching and you gotta embarass a nigga

I was talking about how everyone else has to FADC ultra but Bison’s game is much more simple.
I think what makes Bison good is his normals’ priority. His S.Roundhouse stuffs almost every other normal in the game, does 120 damage, comes out quick and can be combo’d into. His C.Short has amazing priority as well. And with FADCing scissors you want to through out a short because it will stuff more than than his jab if your timing is off. Honestly being able to rushdown almost every character makes the game alot more fun. I can see that Bison gimmicks are working alot less now a days but honestly Bison has alot more game than just using his gimmicks. I just use head stomp as an anti air for jump ins.
I feel the opposite, he was the first person I picked up to play after I realized I didn’t know what I was doing with viper. He just feels too cookie cutter. I don’t know how to explain it, he’s just too easy and boring to me. Solid though.
I am lol-ing at Julian being like I’m tired of playing Bison I want a good character with abuseable stuff and then talks about Sakura? :lol: Whatchu know about dat? I could show you sakura stuff, or better yet Nolan’s even better - she’s got tight combos and an easy 50/50 reset but thanks to autocorrect shoryuken, resets aren’t as great as they could be. Defensively, she sucks IMO. No good anti-air - her shoryu goes forward, her c.hp is okay, her other ones you seem to have to jump up to air-to-air. No answer to crossups, no uppercut FADC, weak ultra…
Her links are tight though. Plink that shit all day.
