Bison is one of the most infamous top tiers in CvS2. His powerful control of neutral, strong mobility, great hitconfirms, and annoying roll cancels make dealing with him a pain. He has great pokes and footsies buttons, like his 5MK, 5MP, 2MP, 2HP, and his infamous 2HK slide. Psycho Crushers, Scissor Kicks, and Head Stomp all make for very annoying and powerful roll cancels to force the opponent to deal with. Bison also doesn't lack in damage, with plenty of confirms into Scissor Kicks or into his supers.

Bison also doesn't lack in damage, with plenty of confirms into Scissor Kicks or into his supers.


What truly makes Bison scary though is his amazing synergy with the best Groove in the game, A-Groove. Bison has the most versatile and useful tools for Custom Combo in the game, and his infamous Paint the Fence Custom Combo deals ridiculously high damage and can secure a round or just a life lead quickly. Bison can use CC as a reversal, as an offensive mixup with his throw, as a combo extender after Scissor Kicks, as a situational combo extender off of Psycho Crusher or 2HK, after a Devil's Reverse, etc. He has more ways to utilize CC than anyone else, and likely the best CC in the game as well. Mixed with the above strengths, M. Bison is a mainstay on every high level A-Groove team, and is a terrifyingly powerful top tier.

=== Groove Selection ===
=== Groove Selection ===
'''Best - A:''' While Bison isn't necessarily weak in other Grooves, his synergy with A-Groove makes A-Bison comfortably the best version of Bison. A-Groove already comes with plenty of versatile tools like roll and Alpha Counter, but Custom Combo is the real juice here. Bisons infamous CC, Paint the Fence, does ridiculous damage. If that wasn't enough, Bison has arguably more ways to use CC than any other character, giving him the best usage of an already incredibly powerful mechanic. If A-Bison has a full bar of meter, the opponent is scared for their life, regardless of the life lead or time remaining. A-Bison can always win with meter on his side.

The threat of being hit by Bison's CC at any moment gives Bison really strong leverage in any given situation.


'''Useful - C/K/N/P:''' To some extent, Bison is useful in all of these Grooves. C-Bison is probably the most useful besides A. Bison can utilize C-Grooves level 2 cancels very well, and has some very flashy combos after Scissor Kicks into his Mega Pyscho Crusher super. He can also end in super fairly often thanks to C-Grooves versatile meter. K-Bison is a lot more unique, with a run and hop to make his offense a lot scarier. Bison has lots of ways to build charge while confirming, so it isn't impossible to link into normals for long enough to charge a Scissor Kick ender. Rage allows him to end in a level 3 Mega Psycho Crusher for massive damage. Lack of rolls removes some of his more annoying tools though. N-Bison gets the movement and the rolls, but his damage is a lot lower in exchange for more consistent super enders and arguably the best offense besides A-Bison. P-Bison seems weak, since he requires charge to punish anything, until you realize that his 2HK is incredibly fast and will likely reach in time to punish whatever you parried. Close parries can lead into more realistic hitconfirms into Scissor Kicks as well, but similar to N, his damage is notably lower than all the other Grooves.

'''Worst - S:''' S-Bison isn't necessarily bad, as it's still Bison. However, you have to grapple with S-Grooves limited mechanics, and Bison is notably a lot lower damage even with the infinite level 1 supers.
'''Worst - S:''' S-Bison isn't necessarily bad, as it's still Bison. However, you have to grapple with S-Grooves limited mechanics, and Bison is notably a lot lower damage even with the infinite level 1 supers. His dodge attacks are pretty good, and can definitely make use of run and short hop to get in some good pressure, but due to S-Groove's very limited subsystems, Bison cannot do as well as he can in other grooves, although he is still a very strong character and one of the best S-Groove characters available.

* '''Neutral:''' Between multiple strong buttons, a fast and high jump, plenty of annoying roll cancels, and more than enough ways to punish a fireball, Bison is a strong character in neutral
* '''Neutral:''' Between multiple strong buttons, a fast and high jump, plenty of annoying roll cancels, and more than enough ways to punish a fireball, Bison is a strong character in neutral
* '''Damage:''' Bison's meterless damage, while lower than you might want, is nothing to scoff at. He also has plenty of confirms into his Scissor Kicks for combo ending or extending
* '''Combos:''' Bison has very consistent combo routes that can be confirmed into Custom Combo, and while the damage is low, they will always cause a knockdown
* '''Custom Combo:''' When it comes to Custom Combos, nobody does it better than Bison. His Paint the Fence combo is incredibly high damage, racking up to 10k in a lot of situations, and he has more than enough ways to combo into it. He has more ways to utilize CC than anyone else as well, as while he has the universal ways to use it, he can also activate and extend combos from normal hits into massive damage punishes. Even without Paint the Fence, his midscreen CC's are no joke
* '''Pressure:''' With the right spacing, Scissor Kicks and RC Psycho Banish can give Bison some great guard break pressure and can bully the opponent in the corner
* '''Supers:''' As if Bison needed to have a good CC and good supers, his Mega Psycho Crusher does massive damage and can be confirmed into quite easily
* '''Custom Combo:''' When it comes to Custom Combos, nobody does it better than Bison. His Paint the Fence combo does ridiculous damage, racking up to 10k in a lot of situations, and he has more than enough ways to combo into it. Not only is it damaging but it is more versatile than any other CC, as he can not only do it raw but can confirm into it from many different confirms and moves that leave the opponent remotely in the air
* '''Supers:''' If Bison is not in A-Groove, he can still threaten very high damage. His Super Psycho Crusher does massive damage and can be confirmed into quite easily
* '''Mobility:''' A fast walk, solid dash, good run, and a high and fast jump means getting Bison to sit still is a chore even other top tiers struggle with

* '''Meter Hungry:''' Without meter, Bison isn't bad at all, but he really shines when he has a Custom Combo stored. Without it, a lot of his options are less scary
* '''Meter Hungry:''' Without meter, Bison isn't bad at all, but he really shines when he has a Custom Combo stored. Without it, a lot of his options are less scary
* '''High Execution:''' Custom Combos aren't easy, and Bison's Paint the Fence is a lot of fast inputs back to back. Being able to pilot the opponent to the corner for a Paint the Fence combo also requires consistent execution and situational awareness.
* '''High Execution:''' Not only does Bison require good use of neutral and knowing how to work with his floaty movement, if you want to optimally use Bison, his CC is difficult to learn. Custom Combos generally aren't easy, and Bison's Paint the Fence is a lot of fast inputs back to back. In order to confirm into CC from any range, you need to have good situational and space awareness, as well you need to know what starters/routes you need to use to get the opponent in the right spot.

A big Psycho Power infused punch.
* One of Bison's many pokes to control space with. Really fast and can check standing pokes.
* Can be linked into from 2LP for optimal damage confirms. It's a very manageable 2-frame link and can confirm into both HK Scissor Kicks and Psycho Crusher unlike 5LK/2LK. It only works against some standing opponents though, however some crouchers can get hit by this button, and those are usually matchups where Bison can pressure a lot more freely.
* Also one of the main buttons used to carry the opponent into the corner during Bison's CC. Since it's so fast and hits at a long range, it's one of Bison's preferred corner carry options.

Bison slides a long distance with his legs sticking out.
* One of Bison's most infamous moves. It's certainly a great move in his arsenal, but incorrect execution can lead to undesirable outcomes.
* When spaced, it turns that -29 on block into potentially being plus if hit within the last 6 active frames, but most times it leads to Bison being near unpunishable.
* Considering the huge 35 active frames, it's a great tool for meaties, although it is weak to reversals considering the long recovery.
* Great move in Bison's whiff punish game. If he's too far out and doesn't have charge, this button works just as well, as it gives Bison a close knockdown and decent damage.

Story

M. Bison, known in Japan as Vega, known as Dictator worldwide, is the big bad villain of the Street Fighter franchise. Almost nothing is known of his origin, not even what country he's from. All we know is that he grew up as a skilled martial artist learning an art called Soul Power. Bison saught more and more power however, and once he mastered Soul Power, he went on to kill his master. Before his masters death, he learned the secret art of Psycho Power from him. As Bisons strength grew, now infused with Psycho Power, he wanted to find all of the fighters in the world, defeat them, and learn their techniques. In his quest to do this, he formed Shadaloo, a criminal organization focused on money before anything else. Through Shadaloo, he finds and defeats many fighters. He fought Gouken, though he learned nothing as Gouken defeated him with simple strikes. He fought Charlie Nash, and defeated him. He fought Chun-Li and defeated her. He even beat Akuma up pretty badly. Even Ryu, in an epic showdown, lost to M. Bison. Ryu was then put under mind control, as the Satsui no Hado is a very similar power to Psycho Power. However, with the help of Ken, Sakura, and Sagat, who had changed his mind on working for Shadaloo after seeing M. Bison control Ryu, Ryu was freed and defeated M. Bison... for now.

Gameplay

Bison is one of the most infamous top tiers in CvS2. His powerful control of neutral, strong mobility, scary pressure, great hitconfirms, and annoying roll cancels make dealing with him a pain. He has great pokes and footsies buttons, like his 2MK, 5MP, 2MP, 2HP, and his infamous 2HK slide. Psycho Crusher, Scissor Kicks, and Head Stomp all make for very annoying and powerful roll cancels to force the opponent to deal with. Bison also doesn't lack in damage, with plenty of confirms into Scissor Kicks or into his supers.

What truly makes Bison scary though is his amazing synergy with the best Groove in the game, A-Groove. Bison has the most versatile and useful tools for Custom Combo in the game, and his infamous Paint the Fence Custom Combo deals ridiculously high damage and can secure a round or just a life lead quickly. Bison can use CC as a reversal, as an offensive mixup with his throw, as a combo extender after Scissor Kicks, and as a situational combo extender. He has more ways to utilize CC than anyone else, and likely has the best CC in the game as well. Mixed with the above strengths, M. Bison is a mainstay on every high level A-Groove team, and is a terrifyingly powerful top tier.

Groove Selection

Best - A: While Bison isn't necessarily weak in other Grooves, his synergy with A-Groove makes A-Bison comfortably the best version of Bison. A-Groove already comes with plenty of versatile tools like roll and Alpha Counter, but Custom Combo is the real juice here. Bison's infamous CC, Paint the Fence, does ridiculous damage. If that wasn't enough, Bison has more ways to use this CC than any other character, giving him the best usage of an already incredibly powerful mechanic. If A-Bison has a full bar of meter, the opponent is scared for their life, regardless of the life lead or time remaining. A-Bison can always win with meter on his side. The threat of being hit by Bison's CC at any moment gives Bison really strong leverage in any given situation.

Useful - C/K/N/P: To some extent, Bison is useful in all of these Grooves. C-Bison is probably the most useful besides A. Bison can utilize C-Grooves level 2 cancels very well, and has some very flashy combos after Scissor Kicks into his Mega Pyscho Crusher super. He can also end in super fairly often thanks to C-Grooves versatile meter. K-Bison is a lot more unique, with a run and hop to make his offense a lot scarier. Bison has lots of ways to build charge while confirming, so it isn't impossible to link into normals for long enough to charge a Scissor Kick ender. Rage allows him to end in a level 3 Mega Psycho Crusher for massive damage. Lack of rolls removes some of his more annoying tools though. N-Bison gets the movement and the rolls, but his damage is a lot lower in exchange for more consistent super enders and arguably the best offense besides A-Bison. P-Bison seems weak, since he requires charge to punish anything, until you realize that his 2HK is incredibly fast and will likely reach in time to punish whatever you parried. Close parries can lead into more realistic hitconfirms into Scissor Kicks as well, but similar to N, his damage is notably lower than all the other Grooves.

Worst - S: S-Bison isn't necessarily bad, as it's still Bison. However, you have to grapple with S-Grooves limited mechanics, and Bison is notably a lot lower damage even with the infinite level 1 supers. His dodge attacks are pretty good, and can definitely make use of run and short hop to get in some good pressure, but due to S-Groove's very limited subsystems, Bison cannot do as well as he can in other grooves, although he is still a very strong character and one of the best S-Groove characters available.

M. Bison (Dictator) is a high damage combo character with incredible neutral tools that can annoy the opponent into a commital mistake, which he can punish with his best-in-class Custom Combo, Paint the Fence. His only real weakness is his reliance on meter for big damage. Bison is best played in A-Groove.
Pros Cons
  • Neutral: Between multiple strong buttons, a fast and high jump, plenty of annoying roll cancels, and more than enough ways to punish a fireball, Bison is a strong character in neutral
  • Combos: Bison has very consistent combo routes that can be confirmed into Custom Combo, and while the damage is low, they will always cause a knockdown
  • Pressure: With the right spacing, Scissor Kicks and RC Psycho Banish can give Bison some great guard break pressure and can bully the opponent in the corner
  • Custom Combo: When it comes to Custom Combos, nobody does it better than Bison. His Paint the Fence combo does ridiculous damage, racking up to 10k in a lot of situations, and he has more than enough ways to combo into it. Not only is it damaging but it is more versatile than any other CC, as he can not only do it raw but can confirm into it from many different confirms and moves that leave the opponent remotely in the air
  • Supers: If Bison is not in A-Groove, he can still threaten very high damage. His Super Psycho Crusher does massive damage and can be confirmed into quite easily
  • Mobility: A fast walk, solid dash, good run, and a high and fast jump means getting Bison to sit still is a chore even other top tiers struggle with
  • Health: Higher than average health means that, even with all these strengths, Bison can still make plenty of mistakes and get away with them
  • Charge: Bison is reliant on having charge for any of his punishes, making it hard to be aggressive without good skill at charge buffering
  • Meter Hungry: Without meter, Bison isn't bad at all, but he really shines when he has a Custom Combo stored. Without it, a lot of his options are less scary
  • High Execution: Not only does Bison require good use of neutral and knowing how to work with his floaty movement, if you want to optimally use Bison, his CC is difficult to learn. Custom Combos generally aren't easy, and Bison's Paint the Fence is a lot of fast inputs back to back. In order to confirm into CC from any range, you need to have good situational and space awareness, as well you need to know what starters/routes you need to use to get the opponent in the right spot.

Far Mp.png 1100 11 SP/SU Mid High 4 8 17 29 +3 +3 None

A big Psycho Power infused punch.

  • One of Bison's many pokes to control space with. Really fast and can check standing pokes.
  • Can be linked into from 2LP for optimal damage confirms. It's a very manageable 2-frame link and can confirm into both HK Scissor Kicks and Psycho Crusher unlike 5LK/2LK. It only works against some standing opponents though, however some crouchers can get hit by this button, and those are usually matchups where Bison can pressure a lot more freely.
  • Also one of the main buttons used to carry the opponent into the corner during Bison's CC. Since it's so fast and hits at a long range, it's one of Bison's preferred corner carry options.

A fast midsection kick.

  • Good frame trap normal, very fast and while slightly minus it doesn't offer big gaps.
  • Unlike 5MP, 5LK can confirm into Scissor Kicks on crouchers, although it does less damage than the 2LK confirm and it cannot confirm into HK Scissors or HP Psycho Crusher.

5MK

A slower long ranged toe kick.

  • Same use as 5MK, although spacing is really important now since it is -11, but the damage is a lot better. It actually starts up a frame faster than 5MK so if the spacing is right this button can be used over 5MK.

  • Better than far LP because of the 2-frame startup. Generally when using close anti-airs this button works fine, since Bison might not get far HP.

A slow Psycho Power infused midsection punch.

  • Another good meaty button, but is a little minus if landed point blank and has beefy startup.
  • Also used a lot in CCs, most notably as the precursor move to the Psycho Banish reps during the actual painting of the fence. Once the opponent is juggled into the corner, most Bison players use this move to carry the opponent at the right height to mash DP.

A slow Psycho Power infused low punch.

  • One of Bison's main pokes. It is slightly slower than 5MP, but it hits all crouchers, and is 0 on contact. It's also pretty fast, meaning Bison can counterpoke with it and not get killed for whiffing it.

A big Psycho Power infused low punch.

  • Same as 2MP but there's a little more risk. It is unsafe and a lot slower, but deals great damage. Most times 2MP is used over this button but this is a great counterpoke and blockstring ender.

A really fast low kick.

  • A quick low Bison uses in pressure and mixups. Not only can it link into 2LP, but it can be linked into from 2LP, meaning that it's a great button for combos as well and a nice button to have for low confirms.

A slower low kick.

  • One of if not Bison's main poke. It's very fast, and Bison usually whiffs it in neutral to build meter and control neutral while pushing an untimely interaction from the opponent.
  • Super plus, can be used in blockstrings and combos. It can be linked into from 2LP, 5LP and itself for combo purposes.

Version Damage Stun Cancel Guard Parry Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Invul
D.png+Hk.png 1400 14 SU Low Low 6 35 18 59 HKND -29 None

Bison slides a long distance with his legs sticking out.

  • One of Bison's most infamous moves. It's certainly a great move in his arsenal, but incorrect execution can lead to undesirable outcomes.
  • When spaced, it turns that -29 on block into potentially being plus if hit within the last 6 active frames, but most times it leads to Bison being near unpunishable.
  • Considering the huge 35 active frames, it's a great tool for meaties, although it is weak to reversals considering the long recovery.
  • Great move in Bison's whiff punish game. If he's too far out and doesn't have charge, this button works just as well, as it gives Bison a close knockdown and decent damage.

A slower downward punch.

  • Good button to use as a jump-in against a dizzied opponent due to the very high damage. Other than that, not too much use.

  • Pretty much the same as nj.LP in terms of use. A quick and active air-to-air, but the damage is very unrewarding.

A big outward kick.

  • Another good instant jump air-to-air. Compared to nj.MK, it deals more damage but it really depends on if you prefer 200 more damage or 1-frame less startup. Most times it's best to use nj.HK.

A slower aerial punch.

  • Has a unique property where if an aerial opponent gets hit it causes a hard knockdown, causing them to fall down instead of recover normally. In tandem with his Double Psycho Strike followup, Bison can confirm into CC, or Super Psycho Crusher if CC isn't available to him.

A quick outward knee.

  • One of Bison's many crossups. Unfortunately, this button can only cross-up against thicker characters, but the high active frames can make the crossups pretty ambigouous.

A slower more outward knee.

  • A very fast button, usually done as both an air-to-air and crossup. It's a lot more consistent compared to j.LK, but in terms of jump-ins Bison has other options.

A slow, powerful outward kick.

  • Can also cross-up fine, and is just as consistent as j.MK. It deals a lot of damage and is usually done as a jump-in. In terms of air-to-air situations it can work fine but Bison can do better.
