M.Bison dead?

[VIKTOR]

What happened to him? If there is a chance that it will be added to SF 6 someday?
If you look at Bison's current position in the SF universe now, can he even be in the roster, or is he dead?

[CATMAN]

He can, he can fit himself into the bodies that can handle his soul power
And tbh, the stories don't matter these days

M. Bison dies all the time. He even laughed at Ryu in 5 while dying. But more importantly, it's a fighting game. All anyone wants is cool characters to play as and beat each other up. Story and lore isn't all that important. Just look at MK, every character in the game dies constantly. No one cares. It's inevitable that Bison will return. He's just too iconic and popular. The only question is when

[Peddie]

I honestly think Capcom would be doing themselves a disservice in bringing Bibson back, it would undermine Ed's whole thing of constantly being bothered by Shadaloo remnants into taking up his mantle if suddenly the real article is there again. Along with all the other characters trying to make sense of life without his presence. Also cheap fakeouts get a little old, so I hope they actually stick to their guns for this one.

Street Fighter has survived games without him before, it can survive games without him again. The chief argument I would use for having him back anyway is the fact that at 78 his voice actor Norio Wakamoto ain't getting any younger so they might as well get use out of the legend while they still can.

For all we know he will posses a Seth unit.
And we will get a Hybrid of Seth and Bison as a single character.

That's my ideal comeback for him; he possesses someone like Seth and becomes a Stance-based fighter, having to effectively crawl his way back into the limelight.

Or better yet, we get a new Vs. Capcom game with him as a major player.

What I wouldn't give for a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 2, although I get the impression that nowadays Capcom is happy just maintaining the one fighting game and have it do well instead of having several going on and risk none of them doing spectacularly. (In the one in a million chance anyone at Capcom reads this, you're welcome to prove me wrong, please)

But what if Capcom wants to do crossover stuff? Maybe they could outsource their other fighting game, for example.

[Peddie]

They could, absolutely, but with the way MvC Infinite tanked I don't get the impression they are in a hurry to try another one of those again. (Personally I'd say their best bet would be CvS3)

And even then, I'd expect a CvS3 to play nothing like the originals, maybe even not having the same tone of them, being retooled into a more "typical" Vs. series game, meaning we're less likely to get more than like 5-15 SF characters in a CvS3 max depending on the roster size. Otherwise it might cannibalize SF6 and SNK's games.

They could make lemonade out of lemons by having the story actually revolve around a conflict between the fighting game characters and the non-FG characters.

[Peddie]

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom had a character from one of Capcom's arcade quiz games, they have a vast stock of characters they could get creative with if they wanted to.

Capcom really should just do a Capcom only crossover fighting game.
At best like do what Smash does and add 3rd party guests but make it primarily a Capcom game.
They have such a huge library of characters hey don't need to make deals for crossover games.

That's probably the best idea at this point.

[Spardacus]

Let's trade Luke for Bison, seems fair to me.

[Wolves]

Bro the story of video games are literally all just made up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. He could literally get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by 10000 penis' to death in the game before it and all it takes is one guy on staff to say "but what if he lived" in the next title.....


Grow up. PLEASE. It's all made up dude....

[Rando the Crit Clown]

M. Bison is cool but him not being in this game would be cooler
