I have been fighting Octopusonfire quite a bit lately which is one of the better Blanka’s in the country. In my experience his slide will trade with Bison’s if both go active. Your honestly better off blocking. Just note that, like Bison, Blanka can space his for safety, and imo its easier for him to do so because it travels less distance.
Never jump, ever. Even without meter he has answers for it. If you manage to knock him down without meter you can try it but I find its better to be patient.
The most you can do in the air is neutral jump attacks to attempt to AA him but I have yet to find anything all that reliable.
in that case, you wait and focus it, I think if you wait at MAX range you can cr.mk scissor punish, is very similar to Boxer dash punch punish, and I don’t even try to anti air…I just wait and when he have no meter I ex psycho sometime if you hold focus long enough they will slide in and you get lv3 focus +__+, in right range they can’t really monster ball because if you dash back you can block it, and they can jump but not GONNA hit you, and they can slide (obviously if you try dash back you get caught) but if you hold little longer you might get a crumble, is just gamble to get Blanka come over, some Blanka just doing nothing but electricity…(TAKU? THAT IS GUY I AM TALKING ABOUT)
yo stabicron u live in NY or NJ? Before December I might go up there and hit Nextlevel, thought we could play?
Bison! For the love of god, I can’t beat my own character and it’s depressing and deflating. I think I’ve come a long way in learning the rush down game but I don’t know if it’s the standard wireless controller I use or what but whenever I do a lk scissor kick and hit the HK or MK button afterwards, I get stuffed by other roundhouses. So then I find myself stopping and I relinquish the advantage. I’m not sure if it’s input lag, me spamming the hk button, not having timing right, or I just suck.
For some god forsaken reason. Vega and Ryu. I just struggle to keep in control? Now I know that seems silly but it is. Meh. If anyone has tips, they’d be appreciated. I mean, I play relatively well but i get beaten by the cheesy shit you know? Not so much in the Ryu match up but Vega. I read about it being an easy matchup but I don’t know how.
Any character with a fireball is my worst match-up with Bison. Guile, Ryu, Rose. I find that in most matches I’m on the defensive. When I play Ken, Cody, Adon, most players back off but I find that when I play Bison players seem to want to rush me down and mix me up, if not to test my Defense then to bait out psycho crusher. Is there a stigma about playing bison that people think they have to get rid of him quickly? How do I stop this rush-down nonsense and make the other player think? Do I teleport? Troll? Block string?
Number 1 - RUFUS. The character is cheap (imo) gets u in an ultra off anything at any time and the dive kick pressure is just retarded.
Number 2 - Guile. This is obvious as a good guile can demolish bison. YOu jsut have to hope u find a gap and get in then dont let them go!
Number 3 - Balrog. The match is a total rock paper scissor match. I dont mind him without ex but when he gets ex that ex dash punsh does my tits in!
Number 4 - Fie long. His footises are godlike and his punishes on blocked pc do way to much dmg. (EVEN EX PC!)
Number 5 - Ibuki (online) Ibuki offline is fine but online I always get raped by a good ibuki lol.
Number 6 - Cammy. It’s cammy, brain dead huge pressure and great dmg combos. Such an annoying character. You work ure ass off all game then they come back of 15 seconds of ambiguos corssover pressure.
Number 7 - Seth. Another obvious one. His constant jumping can rape bison, his his AA is terrible on seths jumping arch!
Use his amazing footises to stop them rushing u? lol
s.mk. s.hk, safe sk (judge the range) forcus fireballs, devil reverse to keep them on edge about headstomps to punish there fireballs, dont reverse the devil reverse when u see a fireball = free throw or c.lk c.lk c.lk l sk combo…etc
I understand the vega, vegas footises beat or at least are on par with bisons, so you have to play differently and alot more safe. Look howt he vega plays then conter footsy accordingly. For ryus do what I previously said to Sprfly
Gief is an easy match, hk hk hk hk hk lol watch for green hand and ex green hand thats about it really mix in some lsk pressure and some ex devil revese when ure knocked down and your golden, a very easy matchup!
If the gief knows how to use short hop and jumping effectively along with St.MP its different the match got easier though with ex green hand not knocking down.
I don’t have a problem with Guile. 9/10 guile’s online I will smash and for those I don’t it is ALWAYS due to lag and his frame traps and what not. Otherwise I never feel as though Guile is a main problem for me. His damage output is just as trash as Bison’s. Its basically just getting around the booms, but he does a fine job of walking himself into the corner and on wakeup he has nothing.
I would say my worst matchups though are Gief and Honda (although this really only applies when they are really good). Other then that Bison just sucks equally against anyone else.
sometime if you hold focus long enough they will slide in and you get lv3 focus +__+, in right range they can’t really monster ball because if you dash back you can block it, and they can jump but not GONNA hit you, and they can slide (obviously if you try dash back you get caught) but if you hold little longer you might get a crumble, is just gamble to get Blanka come over, some Blanka just doing nothing but electricity…(TAKU? THAT IS GUY I AM TALKING ABOUT)
