How do you fight bison?

[bulldog0890]

I still haven't quite gotten a handle on fighting this dude. him and vega are my two biggest buggaboos

his block strings tend to screw me, and his unpunishable scissor kicks. when he over uses scissor kick i can neutral jump and punish, but smart bisons don't die to this

[PieFoot]

Lk Scissor is -4, totally punishable. What to do? Out pressure bison and don't let him get up freely, he has no wake up options (AFAIK) don't let him do head press freely and anti air him.
Good luck !

Don't challenge his blockstrings, especially the df+HP. Use V-Reversal a lot. Use your best AAs against head stomp. Punish all his blocked specials and his slide. Go ham on him, he has no 3f jab and no reversal, he's totally free on wake-up.

But if we talk seriously, than you just need to rush the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ down until he dies, he doesnt have any reversal or 3f normal, he has no anti-airs to beat a nicely positioned jump-in. When he pressures you - just block and wait until he gets pushbacked on a safe distance for you to start your pressure. Learn to react to his teleports and CC him when he does it - it's a very important thing. After he does scissors kicks and you block them - it's your turn, but it's not when he does EX version, he is positive on block after that and can just go for a st.lp into that fireball thingy, or will walk up a bit and throw you. Regular inferno versions are punishable. When he does st.mp into a psycho axe - it's punishable (-6 on block), but when he just does psycho axe without doing st.mp first - it's safe and he has a lot of positive frames, he will either go for throw or start pressing buttons so be aware of that. You can easily anti air his Devil's reverse and stomp if you have at least a anti-air with good vertical reach. Beware of his V-Trigger teleports and watch out for teleport cross ups, it's very tricky and you need a fast reaction for that.

I'm a Bison main, and I can tell the guys above made very good points. What character are you using?

[The_Vulcan]

I like Bisons sissor kicks and slide kick.

But for some reason before the first round is over they stop using them.

Probably cause I just stand there, block, throw........ everytime....

I use Rashid and it's actually possible to punish M. Bison's headstomp on reaction. Just jump with your light or medium normals once you hear his "humph!" cue.

Vega's Flying Barcelona Attack can also be punished this way.

As long as it's not the EX version, headstomp is very easily punishable.... however, having that said, Dictator can change it to Devil's Reverse to throw off your timing and punish you.

jump on him for days sonnn. Get a knock down on him, and mix up your option he can't do anything about it unless he v-reversals which you can bait and get a throw. Don't press buttons during his strings, eventually he will try and dash grab. you can anti air all his headstomp and devils reverse. His ex headstomp is a bit iffy in that you can anti air it but you shouldn't risk it. Don't fall in to his pressure otherwise you will have a hard time.
