Here is the list of differences:

Obvious stuff: O.M.Bison can not tech throws and does not have a Super;
O.M.Bison has some differences in some of his normals:
- Close Standing Forward has much worse priority;
- Far Standing Forward has worse priority as a poke, but is less vulnerable to low normals (overall, N.M.Bison's better);
- Far Standing Roundhouse has same changes as the far forward;
- Diagonal Jump Strong is a 1-hit normal that does not have juggle properties;
Devil's Reverse special move was reworked, and O.M.Bison's has a reversal bug similar to those of T.Hawk's Rising Hawk and the supers of Sagat, Ken, and Dhalsim (executing the last special you did instead);

O.M.Bison is a waste of time. His standing kicks are worse, he does not have his powerful Diagonal Jump Strong that juggles, his Devil's Reverse is useless and he can not tech throws as well. But what really puts O.M.Bison very far from his N.counterpart is the lack of his awesome super, which can save your life from many situations where you find yourself helpless without it.

Disclaimer: Ground normals take one extra frame to enter their start-up, which is the reason for the additional frame on the 'Simplified' row.

Bison does a quick standing jab, can be rapid fired to stop Honda's Torpedos and Blanka's Ball though it's not entirely reliable, useful in some anti-air situations.

Bison's main "harassment" move. It is safe, beats fireballs, controls a large amount of space, and can be whiffed while charging to start a pindown.

This move is great as a meaty on wakeup because it can stuff even Shoryus with proper timing. Bufferable, on block can safely be used to setup an lk Scissor Kick for a pindown.

A slower version of MK. Deals really solid damage and stun and has some of the same uses as MK. It is great as a whiff punisher for things such as OG Ken Jab Shoryuken.

Slide trip. It is useful if opponent techs your tick throw, and also great for positioning with a knockdown. This is quite unsafe on block, from most distances. It also does not work as anti-air.

Great when used as an instant overhead, excellent cross-up, can stuff Blanka's Up Ball which comes into play very often.

Like the neutral jumping forward but with more range and priority but less attacking frames.

Great crossup, big damage, easier to use than j.Fowd on slimmer characters. Decent priority air to air.

O.M.Bison can only throw with Strong and Fierce. He has no kick throws, but Bison can still tech throws with any medium or higher punch or kick even if Bison has no kick throws. This rule applies to all characters.

Bison flies across the screen in flames. It can do a maximum of 3 blocked hits. The distance and the speed at which it travels depends on the strength of the punch. It has been severely weakened since Super SFII, no longer has great priority besides the Jab version. Can be used to escape corners at times and can also hit opponents from behind/underneath with ridiculous timing and a lot of balls. Generally, stick with the scissor kick. If you make a mistake you can easily corner yourself. Normals beat this far too easily.

Double Knee Press a.k.a. Scissor Kick: (Charge ←, →, K)

Detailed Input: (Charge ← for at least 78f, [0~7f] → [0~11/9/7f] Short/Forward/Roundhouse. It is needed to wait at least 1 frame after leaving the charge direction to enter with the K button)

Bison kicks the opponent twice in a forward motion. The distance and speed at which it travels depends on the strength of the kick. When properly spaced to do only one hit, they can be quite safe and useful in pindown strategies. They also are quite useful for scoring knockdowns if opponent tries to counter standing kicks or do low attacks. Can be used as a ghetto anti air, unlike the Psycho Crusher which gets stuffed a lot.

Head Stomp: (Charge ↓, ↑, K)

Detailed Input: (Charge ↓ for at least 60f, [0~7f] ↑ [0~11/9/7/1f] Short/Forward/Roundhouse/any K if you are at a jumpable state. It is needed to wait at least 1 frame after leaving the charge direction to enter with the K button)

Bison flies towards the opponent and stomps their head with his boots. You can move very flexibly after the head stomp makes contact with a grounded opponent, but when the head stomp hits an airborne opponent, the control over mobility is not as flexible. Works well to get over fireballs.

Somersault Skull Diver: (P, during the Bounce/Recovery animation of Head Stomp)

This is the punch that hits the opponent's head after head stomp. You can move left or right using the joystick while performing this move. The active hitting duration of the move depends on the strength of the punch. This can combo in really weird situations.

Devil Reverse: (Charge ↓, ↑, P)

Detailed Input: (Charge ↓ for at least 61f, [0~7f] ↑ [0~11/9/7/1f] Jab/Strong/Fierce/any P if you are at a jumpable state. It is needed to wait at least 1 frame after leaving the charge direction to enter with the P button)
