M. Bison

Story

M. Bison, the ruthless dictator and supreme leader of Shadaloo, is one of the most iconic villains in the Street Fighter series. Wielding the immense power of Psycho Energy, Bison seeks global domination, crushing anyone who dares to oppose him. His origins remain cloaked in mystery, but his ambition and thirst for power have propelled him to become one of the most feared figures in the world.

Throughout the series, Bison has clashed with numerous warriors, including Ryu, Guile, Chun-Li, and Cammy, each of whom harbors deep personal vendettas against him. His brutal and calculated nature makes him an unrelenting adversary, and his ability to cheat death through his Psycho Power has allowed him to return again and again, more dangerous than before. In Street Fighter V, Bison’s ambitions led to catastrophic consequences, with Shadaloo ultimately collapsing and his physical form being destroyed.

However, Bison is not easily erased. Even in the wake of his apparent demise, his influence persists, and rumors of his return spread across the world. In Street Fighter 6, M. Bison has once again emerged, though in a new and unexpected form. With his Psycho Power still intact, he aims to rebuild his empire and reclaim his dominance. His presence casts a dark shadow over the world’s strongest fighters, proving that true evil never truly fades.

Appearance

M. Bison’s imposing figure reflects his immense power and authority. Traditionally clad in his signature red military uniform and cap, he exudes a commanding and fearsome aura. His glowing eyes, fueled by Psycho Energy, instill fear in those who stand before him. 

In Street Fighter 6, Bison’s appearance has transformed. Though his presence remains as menacing as ever, his new design signifies his return from the brink. His uniform has adopted a darker, more battle-worn aesthetic, and his Psycho Energy visibly crackles around him like an unrestrained force.

Playstyle

M. Bison is a bully-like character with oppressive moves for dominating gameplay. He benefits from SF6 mechanics; his iconic Double Knee Press is no longer a charge move, making it safer. Drive Rush turns missed hits into damaging combos, and OD Psycho Crusher counters projectiles. His Hell Attack target combo punishes bad jumps. Once in, Bison uses pressure normals like 5HP and 4HK to maintain an advantage and deplete the opponent's Drive Gauge. Knowing his opponents' patience is key to exploiting frustration.
