M. Bison

In a nutshell

(Intro paragraph to describe overall gameplay)

Click for USF4 version

Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega

• Hurtbox: wider while crouching (extended hurtbox on front leg)
• Throw: slightly shorter range
• Charge Time: Super/Ultras charge 15f slower (55f), EX Scissor Kick charges 20f slower (75f)
  • All other specials except Scissor Kick charge 5f faster (50f)

• Movement Changes:
  • Forward Dash: 3f faster (17f > 14f), shorter distance
  • Back Dash: 1f faster (25f > 24f)

• Normal Move Changes:
  • cl.5LP is 1f faster (5f), useful for its lower pushback and unique combo possibilities
  • cl.5MP is 1f faster (6f), but 1f worse on hit and block (+1/-2)
  • cl.5HP is 2f faster (6f) and 1f worse on hit/block (+3/-2); now a very important combo button
  • cl.5MK is technically unchanged, but the Omega input buffer is bugged on this normal, allowing 6f normals to combo from a +5 hit (into 2MP or 3HK)
  • far.5MP is 1f faster (5f) but 4f worse on hit/block (-1/-4)
    • One of Bison's most important combo normals, but has problems comboing on some crouching characters
  • 2LP is 1f faster (3f), now Bison's only 3f normal; very short range which makes it limited in combo routes
  • 2MP 1f faster (6f), 1f worse on hit/block (+5/+2)
  • 2HP is 2f slower (12f), 2f more active (6f), and has 8f less recovery (13f); this makes it 6f better on hit/block (+4/-1)
    • Gives limited juggle knockdown vs. airborne, but hard to followup in most practical scenarios
  • 2LK is 1f slower (4f) and 1f worse on hit/block (+3/0); can only combo into 2LP now and much weaker for pressure
    
    
  • Psycho Break (3HP) is a new command normal; 2 hits and moves forward, similar to Ryu's Solar Plexus; +6 on hit, -2 on block
    • First hit is cancellable and has juggle potential, making 3HP xx LK Psycho Sever a common juggle ender
    • Has projectile hitbox that can clash with up to 2 hits of an incoming fireball (impractical to use on reaction); the clash can also be special cancelled
  • Deadly Middle Kick (3HK) is a new command normal, used as a powerful neutral poke
    • Nearly identical animation to Far 5MK, but has more damage, stun, recovery, and a tiny bit more range
  • j.HP (angled/neutral) puts airborne opponent into limited juggle state on hit, allowing a followup on the ground
    • It's technically possible to combo Ultra off this, but incredibly unlikely in a real match (use LK Sever or 3HP xx LK Sever)
  • Hell Attack (j.MP~MP) no longer gives free juggle state on airborne hit (the initial j.MP still does, however)

• Special Move Changes:

• Super/Ultra Changes:

• Moves with ending Frame Buffer:
