Today is M. Bison day! As you would expect I was up early and dumped some hours into the lad, and now with that combined with my time from the Summer Game Fest I have a much more complete idea of the character and he's even stronger than my initial impressions! I don't think he's top tier or nothing, but he has a clearly defined gameplan (AGGRESSION) great walkspeed, huge buttons, does what Honda got nerfed, better than Honda did it before it got nerfed and just tons of stuff! Lots in the vid so give it a good explore, like if ya liked it and let me know what you think!
I do think some of the Honda differences are type of gameplan. Bison needs to be close enough to get his setup in place. Honda's headbutt knocking down gives him time to setup spirit. And it really does seem like the downsides to Bison's scissors on block are that, if you're spacing it right, sure you're mostly safe, but he still has to reset his pressure game. And anything that breaks up his pressure is really bad for him. Like you said, his defense isn't terrible, but based on normals and tools, once he's out of his pressure game, he has to get even more defensive than Honda. But we'll see how it pans out over time. I was immediately joking around about how his gameplan feels like a weird mix of Honda and Marisa!
This week on the channel is basically gonna be Bison week, so expect a LOT MORE! Stay tuned over the next few days, cause not only are we gonna do stuff like combos and a big guide like you'd expect, but also dig into the lore and the story of whats going on cause there's a fair bit!
Bison literally spared your World Tour character because the horse took a liking to you. He clearly values that horse enough to braid its hair himself.
(read as overly dramatic as possible) Us grappler mains are a truly abused people. Bullied in the corner and at distance by zoners in game, then bullied by the devs in the patch notes and complainers online irl. Roofle is our only friend!
Good stuff, Terry is coming in about 2 months too if they do a September release. They did say they plan on being more consistent with SF6 content in general, we might be getting an outfit 4 announcement real soon
It has to be some kind internal joke that they removed every grappler's command grab vortex, but nearly every dlc characters gets a meterless throw loop lmao
The mine adds an additional resource that a Bison player wants to manage, which makes his offense, and overall, the character more threatening when it's active. This adds him to the likes of Lily, Manon, and Jaime, as a secondary resource/minigame character. A significant difference, however, is Bison essentially gets his mine for playing the same game he was always going to play, then being rewarded extra for it. Mine into crusher is essentially Lily's wind stock into her version of a crusher. Lily has to stop her offense and make herself vulnerable to attain that stock, though, whereas Bison just has to get a hit, and now the opponent naturally doesn't want to press a button. He's a minigame character that plays the minigame he gets rewards from free.
I played after the server maintenance and completely forgot it was Bison drop day. Once i hopped on when the servers were back up, first person I played was Bison and I genuinely thought someone hacked him in early or something. Very silly
Akuma's 5HK is -13 if blocked by a crouching opponent, and a free counter hit punish into imagination. It can also be called out with a Drive Impact. The move has more total frames than a complete Drive Impact. Seems like a pretty fair trade for being +3.
rooflemonger,...or IrishOrangutan apparently,...was always fast, now he's just outrunning himself. We get the Elena video before Capcom releases the trailer, I tell you... ^^
I’m just constantly in shock at the damage levels in sf6. Am I crazy to think it should be nerfed again across the board? Wouldn’t more interactions in a round reveal the better player in general…..I know time played increases but is that so bad, not like we are pumping quarters at the arcade lol.
I'm glad I'm not crazy, seeing the way some of bisons moves work, combined with his normals, and I'm just... so why can't honda have anything close to this?
@@emsaxI definitely agree with him being the best dude is insane with his tools his pressure his spacing mind game etc. I’ve never liked bison because I did not like the playstyle of charge characters but he is so fun to use in this game
@@Sharky_0456 What I mean is he wont be tournament worthy outside of the two gief players that will do well but never win a major. Them just doig ok is enough for other crybaby pro players o to complain to force capcom nerfs and we see this strategy is working.
@@EdgeO419i feel like even without the HK Nerf zang isn't all that competitively viable and hes still really fun to play so its not like the character is completely dead. hell even if he was people would still play him cause people like grapplers and casuals are the majority of every games player base
there is legit no reason to play Honda anymore. Damage? bison has it. drive rush? Bison's is better. normals? Bison's are better. hit confirms? bison's are WAY better.
Dude the Zangief nerf was uncalled for. Its also way too early to even know if zangief is a problem. This reeks of the devs needing to get off of twitter. Twitter skews too negative to take good feedback from there nowadays.
His Devil's Rise is everything I was hoping it would be. It's easy to get plus frames off of it, even full screen (no OD needed) it's easy to get left/right mix, and the OD knee is so satisfying to land
@@KingJinzo2125 Right? I play a ton of characters and I'll tell you going from playing Bison to playing Juri or Jamie is a wild experience. It's like easy mode neutral vs hard mode neutral. Same with footsies really. Because it's Juri "I need to carefully choose my buttons" vs Bison "scissor kicks go brrr" But I really hope they don't nerf it because I'm having a blast.
Bison is ridiculous overpowered... Most things safe + insane dmg beyond normal, it is frustrating at best. Expect mostly bisons in the next few months... I even concider p-laying him and I HATE charge characters. but he is ridiculous easy. I wonder who balanced Bison, because clearly he was not :D P.S. When Mika? I miss her, I hope Terry has a command grab, Else I will be waiting a long time till season 4. : / We need more grabbler love.
4:23 So not only is s-HP +1 on block up close, but if you notice here HE'S +2 DEPENDING ON WHERE IT HITS. That's some plus frame privilege right there. Us Ed mains could only wish for a plus-on-block normal. (s-HK doesn't count and we all know it)
Bison's EX crusher can destroy EVERY PROJECTILE SUPER IN THE GAME, including Ed's and Rashid's Level 2. I fkd around and found out apparently. Never randomly throw those out against a Bison with some meter left, trust me!
I am finding hilarious the ways they justify otherwise villainous, amoral or brutal characters taking you in. JP - Overall so nihilistic that he teaches you just for the sake of some vague interest/amusement because frankly all your efforts to get strong are pointless in his eyes. Juri - Thought it was funny you copied her. A.K.I - A reasonable sentiment on trying to help her- and having her own poison test dummy. Akuma - Was bemused about you laughing off his beatdowns and decided to see how much more you could endure. Biosn - His horse likes you.
loved the video as usual roof, things i learned from the bison discussion is to use more of his M scissor kick around mid range for good counter pokes and to use his st. HP a bit more from a certain range for a good punish into mines. i'll keep trying to get better so i can get master bison soon....hopefully
headbutt distance wasn't a nerf. Honda needs to be closer to leverage his command grab. i also think scissors and headbutt aren't even in the same class of move. Scissors and HHS are closer equivalents. Bison needs CH or PC to combo from his advancing multi-hit move, while Honda does not.
Thank you for flying the Honda flag 😭. I am trying to spread Sumo across all local tournaments to give him some representation among a sea of shotos. Doskoi!
Luke, Ken, JP, Cammy, Guile, and DJ get 365 days of top tier tools and poor Gief gets a buffed from bottom middle tier to top middle tier for only 35 days then nerf SPD comes out of nowhere...Why are grapplers so disliked? I think it because people hate making one mistake and boom 30%+ goes their life bar. They never consider what it takes for the grappler to get in, to even do that.
I'll stick with the character only because of the animations and design. He's like a creepy Magneto, the horse stance looks sick, and the throw game, when you throw back and he does like a swipe kick into a chest kick that then throws you away is soooooooo cool.
really surprised that they didn't make scissors way more negative on block and giving it a different use in gameplay strategy after changing it to be a motion. now it's a move designed around being a charge that isn't gated behind a charge and you can just throw out instantly, kinda crazy.
I hope that this is man is a martial artist than the final boss dictator because I don’t want JP to be wasted. Plus I was expecting that bison will lose his memory for the entire game but I guess that he has his memory back
Well jp was shown as a subordinate of bison in bison’s world tour cutscene so I think it’s too late for him to be saved. I wish they would’ve kept the two somewhat separate from one another but still being aware of each other’s presence
@@KingJinzo2125 the separate part sounds like bison and Seth scenario, we need something new in my opinion. Plus JP becoming a financial for shadaloo again instead of a new dictator sounds like we went to cycle and it would’ve been better to have a better story like Luke Jamie and Kim are making a new generation
Thank you for standing up for the Honda mains. It's looking kinda bleak for us this season. Does Psycho Crusher stop when it's jumped over by the opposing character? Like the way they changed headbut to do? That would be the nail in the coffin for me.
I really wanna get back on the stream train. Problem is unlike many other channels I am a one man show here and editing takes up most of time time lol. Bare minimum after things slow down after evo ill start streaming again then cause i wont be spending 12 hours a day labbing + editing.
I played with him for an hour with my rental and I was able to place as Diamond 5 after my 10 matches. He can bait DPs... he is strong, but few really understand what to do with him. All the players I played were having no clues and that is including all skill levels.
I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like Bison just from training and running through arcade mode. I was going to play him for a while anyway because he's cool, but I wasn't sure if he'd be a character I'd want to stick with long-term. Sometimes you get the initial badass character/hot waifu hype and you end up not vibing with how they play. Fortunately, Bison's got the kind of belligerent stuff I can dig.
The thing about the kick is checking the bisons spacing it still has to be positioned for safe spacing in a way like they’re going for the charge or at mid spacing. So when they’re walking back you could still see they’re setting up a safe spaced scissor kick
Are scissor kicks comparable to the headbutt? I feel like they're just different moves. Different input styles, different hitbox, different super cancels. Scissors into super reminds me of a shroyuken into super for the shotos, am I incorrect? I could be, I don't have a lot of experience in fighting games yet but from a noob POV the headbutt is a very different so it's not as comparable.
Excellent video. Could you do a how to play charge character video? Charge inputs scare a lot of people, myself included, but I’d love to hear your tips on how to approach it.
well you kinda just find the time to sneak in charge at all times. I'll have to think about that in terms of making that a viable video. I've been playing charge chars for over 30 years at this point so its sorta just natural for me lol
@@rooflemongerthanks for the tip! I’m working on it. My thumbs need to adjust to the new process. If you ever do make that video we’ll be here to watch it! Like we do for all your videos 😂
Just as a thought, the mine would be cool as some kind of parry move, that sounds mean enough for Bison, it wouldn't be overpowered since you had to trigger it and it would kind of fit, get a little Geese into his gameplay.
@@ultraheaven8968 one veteran player did well at one tournament and people whined and they nerfed it less then a month after they buffed it meanwhile Akuma sthp is one of the biggest bullshit normals ive ever seen in a modern SF game can rock all day, Lukes CMP terrorized the entire game for an entire year without nerfs and they barely touched it in the patches
From my limited play of him this Bison just does not gel with me. Knee Press being motion makes the move feel flimsy and Light Psycho Crusher being slower than SF4 Heavy Psycho Crusher is a turn off for me. Also, while it's awesome that we can control when or if we dive with Headstomp it feels awful that Devil Reverse takes a Kick button first. And I can't get over that the Slide Sweep is Down Forward. I don't even think it slightly balances him compared to Dhalsim where his White Girl Sweep is Down Back because Bison can White Girl Sweep from Down Back too. I wish they would add a Legacy Controls mode where you can choose to have Special Moves or applicable Command Normals use older inputs.
misconception: they didnt nerf e honda for being "too strong" they nerfed him because they fundamentally disagreed with how people were playing him. they didnt want e honda to only spam 2 moves and not play with the rest of his kit.
I was wondering if you had any advice for me. Sf6 is my first street fighter and I wanna pick up bison but I have a really hard time with charge characters. I play classic on keyboard, I’ve been thinking about getting a leverless controller like a hitbox but I’ve heard some people say just stick keyboard. Do you have any advice or video to help me get better at charge characters? And should I switch off of keyboard?
Besides akuma I wasn’t crazy about season 1 character wise. Season 2 for me is stacked. Never played bison but he looks sick and I like charge characters, and ending with a third strike character is sick. Also 2 guest characters? Cmon
I know this might be a strange question to ask but i'm genuinely curious now that Scissor Kick is a motion input rather than charge how it functions/interacts if you do it on reaction to people jumping at you. Can it anti-air? Can it cross under? Can it trade? Does it just get stuffed completly? I imagine it isn't going to work very well but sometimes you gotta try regardless just to see.
I don’t think scissor kick works well since it’s hit box is low to the ground and I’d imagine there’s not much verticality to it. What does function as a good anti air tho is his psycho crusher
that's one way to incentivize people to spend money on your game again, just nerf the chars that came with the game and buff the chars that you have to buy....🤷♂

Who braids the horse's mane? I imagine Bison humming his classic theme as he does it
He does it to trick RDR into thinking he's an ok guy despite his war crimes.
And when you ask him whose theme it is he says, "No idea, but I'll take it."
Bison literally spared your World Tour character because the horse took a liking to you. He clearly values that horse enough to braid its hair himself.
I am ready to ride my horse into the sunset of missed inputs.
Agreed. Who needs combos and neutral when we can scissor kick our way to master?
@@JoeyCentralYep doesn't matter the Controls either even though you can Manual on both to pick your version of it.

Grappler mains also can win a match easily with 2-3 touches so it balances out

Yeah, ai wonder why Capcom didn't rellease him on Tuesday. They know the meme. It feels like there was something behind it... I wonder what.
I mean you could have played him Tuesday night offline
But for Bison, it is a Tuesday
He was released on Tuesday, offline, servers went online Wednesday
Servers came back before midnight. he did.

Ah. Didn’t know if that was an oversight. Haven’t played Bison’s world tour yet.
I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like Bison just from training and running through arcade mode. I was going to play him for a while anyway because he's cool, but I wasn't sure if he'd be a character I'd want to stick with long-term. Sometimes you get the initial badass character/hot waifu hype and you end up not vibing with how they play. Fortunately, Bison's got the kind of belligerent stuff I can dig.
The thing about the kick is checking the bisons spacing it still has to be positioned for safe spacing in a way like they’re going for the charge or at mid spacing. So when they’re walking back you could still see they’re setting up a safe spaced scissor kick
Are scissor kicks comparable to the headbutt? I feel like they're just different moves. Different input styles, different hitbox, different super cancels. Scissors into super reminds me of a shroyuken into super for the shotos, am I incorrect? I could be, I don't have a lot of experience in fighting games yet but from a noob POV the headbutt is a very different so it's not as comparable.
I had my first 20+ win streak today thanks to bison. What a character lol
Excellent video. Could you do a how to play charge character video? Charge inputs scare a lot of people, myself included, but I’d love to hear your tips on how to approach it.
well you kinda just find the time to sneak in charge at all times. I'll have to think about that in terms of making that a viable video. I've been playing charge chars for over 30 years at this point so its sorta just natural for me lol
@@rooflemongerthanks for the tip! I’m working on it. My thumbs need to adjust to the new process. If you ever do make that video we’ll be here to watch it! Like we do for all your videos 😂
Just as a thought, the mine would be cool as some kind of parry move, that sounds mean enough for Bison, it wouldn't be overpowered since you had to trigger it and it would kind of fit, get a little Geese into his gameplay.
I like grapplers as much as you, but Bison can have what Honda lost because he doesn't have a Command Grab, he's allowed.
The real strenght of Bison is that he can bait DP with stomps... did that numerous times... it is insanely good... INSANELY GOOD!
It's really hard not calling him S tier after watching Punk. I know Punk is the goat but still. Bison looked ridiculous.
That scissor kick looks ridiculous. Im hoping Mai is that cheese.
I love the “heLLO and welCOME”
He does it so consistently lol
Devs are pathetic for snap gief nerf
It just kick.
they clearly despise this character to hit the character they deliberatey made sure was TRASH with a nerf, fu capcom.
What are you talking about, that st.mk was winning the character sooo many majors , im glad they nerfed it finally
@@ultraheaven8968 one veteran player did well at one tournament and people whined and they nerfed it less then a month after they buffed it meanwhile Akuma sthp is one of the biggest bullshit normals ive ever seen in a modern SF game can rock all day, Lukes CMP terrorized the entire game for an entire year without nerfs and they barely touched it in the patches
They stopped marchmaking errors cancelling your search. That's a cery welcome change!
Coming from honda and guile to bison gets some getting used too, i kept muscle memorying doing psycho crusher and devil reverse randomly
From my limited play of him this Bison just does not gel with me. Knee Press being motion makes the move feel flimsy and Light Psycho Crusher being slower than SF4 Heavy Psycho Crusher is a turn off for me.
Also, while it's awesome that we can control when or if we dive with Headstomp it feels awful that Devil Reverse takes a Kick button first.
And I can't get over that the Slide Sweep is Down Forward. I don't even think it slightly balances him compared to Dhalsim where his White Girl Sweep is Down Back because Bison can White Girl Sweep from Down Back too.
I wish they would add a Legacy Controls mode where you can choose to have Special Moves or applicable Command Normals use older inputs.
misconception: they didnt nerf e honda for being "too strong" they nerfed him because they fundamentally disagreed with how people were playing him. they didnt want e honda to only spam 2 moves and not play with the rest of his kit.
I wonder if scissor kick goes over juri fireball in addition to psycho crusher. That'd be awesome
Ur the best 👌 thank u for saving our time
I love this character! Definitely my new main! Already had someone rage quit on me lol
I was wondering if you had any advice for me. Sf6 is my first street fighter and I wanna pick up bison but I have a really hard time with charge characters. I play classic on keyboard, I’ve been thinking about getting a leverless controller like a hitbox but I’ve heard some people say just stick keyboard. Do you have any advice or video to help me get better at charge characters? And should I switch off of keyboard?
Besides akuma I wasn’t crazy about season 1 character wise. Season 2 for me is stacked. Never played bison but he looks sick and I like charge characters, and ending with a third strike character is sick. Also 2 guest characters? Cmon
Honda's headbutt deleted a full bar of drive gauge. At least Bison does half that. But yea scissors is pretty good.
13:18 id say headbutt has a more of a reward on hit than scissor kicks though *on regular hit lol counter scissors is super bison and i love it 😂
i'm now dropping 50% of my other fighting games to play this more
Bison pressure is dangerous in the right hands.
I know this might be a strange question to ask but i'm genuinely curious now that Scissor Kick is a motion input rather than charge how it functions/interacts if you do it on reaction to people jumping at you. Can it anti-air? Can it cross under? Can it trade? Does it just get stuffed completly? I imagine it isn't going to work very well but sometimes you gotta try regardless just to see.
I don’t think scissor kick works well since it’s hit box is low to the ground and I’d imagine there’s not much verticality to it. What does function as a good anti air tho is his psycho crusher
Bison's spasming back hand during idle really bothers me.
it makes perfect sense. Wait til you are older lol
@@rooflemonger That's _why_ it bothers me!
I hope they fixed Dhalsim's lvl 2, it would hit a couple times then drop out, it was happening a lot since last patch. hmmmm
Probably too early to say this but DLC power screep is gonna be something we talk about too
I'm normalizing "skrah!!!" Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
that's one way to incentivize people to spend money on your game again, just nerf the chars that came with the game and buff the chars that you have to buy....🤷♂
