Japanese Champion Edition tuned down the special, this is still a really good move if used correctly.

LP Psycho Crusher is good chipping tool and fairly safe to use. MP Psycho Crusher can set up tick throws and crossing up folks who are getting up. HP Psycho Crusher is good at chasing people down, trading with projectiles up close, getting far away from the corner. It's also really good at hitting people from behind, either as they're getting up or coming down from a jump, since his legs can hit. HP Psycho Crusher is only somewhat safe if you do it when your opponent is far away from the corner though, and even then, some characters can still turn around and smack you before you land. Some characters can even hit you -in-between- the blocked hits of the Psycho Crusher, though in my 13 or so years of playing this game, I've only seen this occur -once-.
Bison's only special move with invincibility, though only 2 frames.

Notes: Another move that has been severely toned down from Champion Edition, even more so than the Psycho Crusher, this is still Bison's main attack move. He no longer gets frame advantage after it and can no longer combo after it, but it's still his best method of keeping pressure on the opponent. A MK Double Knee Press, followed by c.MK, s.MK, MK Double Knee Press is still decently good pressure. You ca draw out retaliation attacks after the c.MK, either by doing c.LP or doing nothing. All versions of the Double Knee Press are relatively safe if you do them from far away, which is the only place you should be doing them. c.LP x 2, s.LP, MK Double Knee Press is M.Bison's most damaging and most reliable combo to perform when an opponent is dizzy. Don't use this attack against a crouch-blocking Blanka, since his sprite is so low to the ground that only one hit connects really fast and it will throw off your timing.

Head Stomp: (Charge ↓, ↑, K) [charge time: 59f]

Your main anti-projectile move. Use it to safely counter the projectiles of Ken, Dhalsim, or Chun-li on reaction from a full-screen away, which is where you'll be using this most of the time. You can counter Ryu or Sagat's with it, but only if you anticipate and launch the moment you see them throw their projectile. Guile's projectile cannot be reliably countered with this attack if you're at full screen - he may not be able to counter you back, but he should be able to block. The Head Press has some use as a low move counter in close, but only rarely, and not against anyone who has an instantaneous anti-air.

The follow up to the Head Press is a very useful move. You can combo off of it if you land it deep enough. It's also great for goading certain people, especially characters with air throws - after a blocked Head Press, you should NEVER EVER be air thrown out of this, since you can -always- smack them before they reach you. It's great against characters who don't have instantaneous anti-air, or characters' whose anti-air doesn't hit behind.

Advanced Strategy

He is of the top 4 fighters along with Guile,Sagat and Ryu.

Its the "ultimate poking" and rushdown gameplan one,also can be a nice turtler, and his crouching Roundhouse its a decent rushdown move for pressure and push the opponent in the corner for his "Corner Trap" Double Knee Press Loop and redizzy combos.

Your objetive as Dictador is about poke and charge to release your Psycho Crusher to push the opponent to the corner and use your Corner Trap or redizzy combos.

His standing normals are fast and had nice range for poking games,you main one will be standing Short and Forward,at had more varied jumpin attacks than his subordinates,jumpin diagonal kicks are the best for pressure and air-to-air,crouching ones had good range too, crouching Jab is your main RFWA and you can make a 2-in-1 Psycho Crusher for wake up games with your crouching Roundhouse that is your best one,and also alternate with your standing Jab.

Also Head Press is a decent overhead special against projectile spammers, but with a bad recovery that his follow up can be countered with an air throw or anti air or a decent jumpin attack with long rage. Double Knee Press its his main special move for rapid fire standing and crouching Jabs to special combo,and also crouching Strong and far Forward 2-in-1 can be linked after it. your throw had great range and damage and use it if when your opponent is too near on you.

Psycho Crusher hit blocks in American version are brocken (3/4/5 hits) and used for cheap KO's finish commonly,but Japanese and Later revisions nerfed them similar to the Hyper Fighting one (1/2/3 hits).

His only problem can be the lack of anti air,but his crouching Fierce range and also neutral jumpin Jab and Short are fast and can be your main options.

Match-Ups

Vs. E.Honda

Poke him and if he jumps to you jump away and punch him or block and slide to him.

Vs. Zangief

Zangief will want to made you a SPD if you are close after hit him with a jumping attack or a blocked slide,you gameplan will be only about poke him with far Kicks, and then punish his Double Lariat with you slide ,and then a Stomp for a meaty and be away for him instead of your follow up.

Psycho Crusher must be used if you are cornered,and reverse his position to corner, and you can push Zangief with Scicross Kicks and if blocked ,use a crouch Forward to be out of SPD.
