Summary

Bio

The leader of Shadaloo, Bison is the main villain of the Street Fighter series and seeks world domination.

Why Pick M. Bison?

Bison is a bully. With his suite of many + on block moves, Bison can lock down characters in a way that can feel suffocating, making them want to press buttons and find any escape. If they press a button at the wrong time or reversal at the wrong time Bison can punish them heavily for it with his incredibly damaging crush counter combos. While is walk speed is one of the slowest in the game making him a bit awkward to move around with, he makes up for this by having a unique dash that actually leaves him invulnerable for a few frames in the middle of it, causing long range pokes to whiff and Bison players smiling. His V-Trigger 1 enhances this greatly along with his other specials making an already difficult character to deal more so. His V-Trigger 2 makes him difficult in a different way by giving him a command grab and access to Psycho Crusher, making it incredibly scary to stay blocking and incredibly scary to hit a button. If you want relentless pressure and don't mind his awkward movement, Bison is a great choice.

V System

V Reversal

Strike V-Reversal that causes knockdown on hit. Since it creates an orb around his body, it can still beat attacks that go through him such as Cammy's Spiral Arrow in VT1

V Skill 1

Bison's V-Skill 1 creates a small barrier in front of him that can absorb 1 hit of any strike or projectile attack. When he successfully parries an attack with it, he gains a fast moving projectile with high durability that replaces his V-Skill until the next time he uses it. By holding MP+MK, Bison will immediately throw it back. Once stocked, the projectile can be special canceled into from any of his cancelable strings, or from other specials in V-Trigger 1. The recovery and startup on it is fairly slow so you won't be able to use this to parry first hit of a block string safely, but against projectiles and longer range pokes it's an amazing tool.

As of Season 4, when the parry is used up close on physical attacks Bison now attacks afterwards. On block it is + and on hit it causes a knockdown allowing Bison to continue his pressure.

V Skill 2

Bison's V-Skill 2 allows him to teleport behind the opponent and thrust at them with a knee strike. The teleport is relatively slow, and would be easily telegraphed if it wasn't for his dash looking somewhat similar. On block, you're +1 and in throw range. On hit, it launches the opponent, allowing a juggle into lp Psycho Blast, lk Scissor Kicks, or an EX Psycho Blast if you had been following it. You can be counter hit into a full combo before the hitbox is active, and because it's safe on block and leads to a combo on hit, your opponent's best counter is to hit you out of it or jump. Don't use this to often to prevent being predictable.

V Trigger 1

Bison's V-Trigger 1 enhances his special moves. It can be activated from any special or normal. Once active, Bison is able to cancel his special moves into each other. Cancelling one special into another takes up about 1/6 of the timer. He can use EX moves too, but if he does, then he can only cancel into another special move if it's also an EX move. Bison's dash also gets a buff, allowing him to pass through his opponents and create tense mixup situations.

V Trigger 2

Bison's V-Trigger 2 gives him access to a command grab and his classic Psycho Crusher. Unlike VT1, you can't cancel into this from specials. The command grab is performed with hcb+k, and his Psycho Crusher is used with hp+hk. The command grab takes up 1/4 of your timer if it whiffs, and 1/2 if it hits. Psycho Crusher also takes up 1/2 of the timer. Functionally, you usually should be able to get one command grab and one Psycho Crusher. The command grab is very unique, in that it does very little damage, but it puts an effect on the opponent. By pressing hcb+k again, you can remotely detonate the effect on the opponent, launching them into the air. You can cancel into the detonate from normals and specials, allowing you to create frame traps and lengthy combos that do big damage. You can combo into the command grab from any of his normals, provided they leave you in range. The Psycho Crusher is great, too. It's unsafe on block, but depending on how you space it, it can be hard to punish, or even safe. It can crossup on wakeup or air reset provided you time it correctly.
