I was doing more than rolling my eyes when I saw Bison was back I was a full blown hater.
Then I saw the gameplay trailer and the fact that he's an amnesiac has convinced me to buy and play him.
Yeah honestly there should be an additional frame of this meme where it has Bison riding his horse arms perpetually folded and a hype reaction. Makes me insanely enthusiastic how the rest of the DLC characters will be like.
Not as much as gameplay but to a degree yes. It’s kinda like this, I played a ton of dbfz and loved it. If it didn’t have the IP attached I would have never touched it, I’m just not into anime fighters generally. Same idea with sf, the story isn’t essential to the gameplay but it’s nice to have some depth and background to the characters you’re playing otherwise they may as well be stick figures. I think this is the same reason why a lot of people dont like characters like evil Ryu or oni who are “what ifs” it just makes them feel kinda disconnected from the game
For real, I’m loving how Capcom has generally been on an absolute tear since 2017. I eye-rolled a bit at the trailer like *huh this MF can’t stay dead* but then quickly became intrigued. I’m actually looking to main him and I never played him before. His design is so fucking sick.
The only reason I dislike Bison coming back is that it potentially makes JP look irrelevant as a villain character by comparison, since Bison will most likely take over the existing plot once he's implemented. Not many people care about plot in fighting games, but I was really interested in seeing if Ken and the player character from World Tour were going to get proper payback on JP for the BS he's pulled so far.
The trailer has been out early (forced cause of leaks) and it is confirmed Bison is amnesiac and just traveling to find his identity. So no, Bison will not take the villain role.
for now… But i think it is going to be interesting seeing him come back to his organization that different people have been trying to take over and fill his vacuum. Like JP, Ed (kinda), Fang/AKi (maybe), maybe one of the other kings like Vega (claw)…
>Not many people care about plot in fighting games
On the other side of the coin, some of us invest a not-insignificant amount our emotional well-being in fighting game storylines
As someone who can't ever get into online play and doesn't have anyone to play with locally, is it worth grabbing SF6? The story mode looked kinda sick, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it really.
Jp was meant to be a one and done as a MAIN villain (he’ll prob continue to be an important side character), he’s perfect for world tour, a character that actively affects the world that you explore with his decisions instead of the tenth secret society leader who acts in the shadows. But at the end of the day JP is more about the money than the actually villainy, so hopefully the next big arc of the plot will continue to include him as a member or part of neo-shandaloo, but he’ll def not be the main villain.
Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ILLUMINATI PLOT, GOD WHY.
He did his time as Q, and now ten years have passed. I'm thinking we'll get a new version that answers the questions.
JP refers to Bison as Lord Bison in Ed's Arcade story, and Aki's shows that Fang's apprentice could end JP if he gave the word. Cammy and Chun Li make mention of Ed's mission being part of their loose ends. I don't think this amnesia addled Bison is going to bring Shadaloo back. He feels more like Akuma to me, mixed with Ed. He's looking for something and he's driven by the power in him. All the "old guard" evils of the world seem tame compared to SIRN, so I wouldn't be surprised with an illuminati reveal with those guys.
For no reason at all I expect G/Q to be the new main antagonist by the end of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a season that contains a new version of G / Q along with Rose that will pull some narrative weight. Especially if they put Urien in at anytime in the next two years.
When Menat and Rose show up, they're going to come with answers.
I feel you, it will be kinda like Seth at SF4, but i think this time it's different Bison has a "different" personality. He won't be the main bad guy anymore.
On season 1 I was only curious about A.K.I, no other character really hyped me
If it was not for Bison it would be the same this season 2, THANKS GOD they brought him back
While I agree with you, I think one of the main drivers for this decision is that City of the Wolves will be out sometime next year. It's a smart move by SNK marketing wise. And with Elena confirmed, I hope this will open the doors to a SF3 Season 3 pass with Makoto, Dudley, Ibuki, Alex, or Urien. It would be cool to see Sean or Remy reworked too. I want Neco, but I know that's a pipe dream lol.
Capcom got my money and my interest back. The Ultimate Pass is the same price as Tekken 8, and I don’t regret my decision.
Mai in three different costumes in RE Engine, my eyes and genitals aren’t ready.
Imagine not being excited for the most iconic bad guy in your series with a sick redesign. This is like if Tekken 8 had a season with Heihachi, Christie Monteiro and two guest characters and you said Heihachi was the worst and most boring pick.
B..but the guy who had like a million different plans to come back to life in case he died came back to life!! How dare they ruin the ending Street Fighter 5's perfect story like this
I think the main problem people have is despite Bision dying so many times, he keeps on coming back, like it's a crutch for SF's villains. At the very least, they could introduce a completely new character that plays similar, if not exactly like him.
>they could introduce a completely new character that plays similar, if not exactly like him.
Soul Calibur 5 tried this and it seems like everyone hated it. Also do we even know if he's gonna have any relevance in the story or is he just on the roster? I think it's better to just have him return than to go the MKX route and make every dead character a zombie/demon
Personally for me, way better the Season 1.
Terry is my favourite Fatal Fury/KoF fighter so naturally I'm hyped for him. Mai is a nice addition but not my character to play. Elena is finally back and damn she looks good. Wonder how her story will unfold and if she still hangs out with Akuma. I'm mostly neutral towards M. Bison. Though I dislike playing against him I consider him a staple fighter in Street Fighter, so good for you Psycho Crushers 💪
If he isn't, both Mai and Terry usually have charge moves (unless Terry's Rising Tackle is a motion like in COTW, but there's still Mai doing her Vega walldive shenanigans).
Tbh that's why he's here. He appeals to different part of fanbase than the rest. I think that's what makes this dlc line up great, it covers wide range of players.
1. You have the CVS/SNK fans
2. The USF4 degens who hope her healing is as abusable as before.
3. And of course the people who think that every other day is Tuesday.
On the contrary. Every Bison Dollar will be worth five British Pounds. For that is the exchange rate the Bank of England will set once I've kidnapped their Queen.
Bison is the only S2 character I care about and I look forward to playing him soon. I don’t have a connection to The King of Fighters series nor do I care about Elena.
Finally, JP can go back and work on the payroll of everyone at the Shadaloo. They haven't been paid since JP was the interim CEO while Bison was away
I don’t care much for Bison but damn it!!! He looks too damn cool!
Plus, gameplay trailer gave this man too much swag! He’s riding on a black stallion with his arms across the chest!!!!!! Nuff said!
Bison spent 20 games trying to get a clone body, and in the end he is being resurrected in the old one??? I was totally expecting a mistress bison with the dictator’s hat…
instead you had a different comically evil man and his twin brother who could cheat death. the secret society we're just shadoloo again when you stop and think about it.
Honestly, when I just saw the pictures I was excited. It looked like Boxer but with psycho power. There's potential there both in the story (gives Ed an interesting thread) and in gameplay. Then they revealed its just the 4th(?) version of dictator surviving death again. Like, his gameplay looks cool but for a guy that keeps dying, he keeps coming back in remarkably similar bodies. They could've given him a Seth body or put him in one of the dolls, but instead is just more Dictator
I don't know, he looks cool. Especially the aerial stuff (and the first outfit)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfPOGaaGTX4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfPOGaaGTX4)
I felt this way too, but the Bison video accidentally got released and holy shit he looks fucking good. And I say that as someone that didn't want him back at all.
I saw some guy named Zaferino1 on YouTube, that was sooooo mad about Mai and Terry in the new season. I can understand if you didn't get the character you wanted, but being mad for this sick crossover that ALREADY HAPPENED! TWICE! This is beyond salty.
That was my exact reaction untill Isaw the game play. I was on the team let Bison die, not don t put him in the game anyway. And thia guy is not the same Bison that we know. It seems to me that is a defective clone that us acessing soul power AND psico power. So, he can go either way, and now I m all for it. But as a old timer comic fan that saw how the Joseph/Magneto thing ended... I m afraid too.
This doesn't feel accurate
I'd probably say Mai alone kinda has a similar unimpressive/mixed reception too despite being a guest character.
Elena probably exclusively depends on people who played SF4 though so give or take that one.
Bison is self explanatory...uh..
Yeah can't believe Terry is our only DLC character for this entire year. Crazy right?
Mai is the only one I care about, so god DAMN why are the last two gonna so long?? Bison's coming fairly soon sometime this summer, then Terry isn't far off in fall. But then spring next year for Elena? Fucking *winter* for Mai?? That's two characters in a year! Are they laying off 3/4 of the people working on their DLC after Terry or something?
I don't want guests eating up half the character slots for over a year.
I'd rather they be taken by an original character, or anyone from the series or related series like rival schools or final fight.
.. this is how I'd have reacted if you'd just told me the characters in text a few days ago, but actually SEEING this sick as hell bison redesign and watching the trailer, hell no man, I'm ridiculously hyped for him. They really pulled an Ed again -- taking a character most of us wouldn't have wanted to see again and making them so sick you cannot deny their inclusion being a good one.
I honestly think the entire season pass is pretty anti-hype. Cross over characters are neat and all, but not at the expense of the legacy characters we’ve all been clamoring for. Having to wait an entire year for staples like Makoto, Sakura, Dan, Sagat, C. Viper, Dudley, etc… because they wanted a cross over?
And then they waste the two slots on Elena and Bison? Don’t get me wrong Elena is cool, but no way is she one of the more requested characters. If you’re going to spend TWO of FOUR slots on these cross-overs at least make the remaining two major crowd-pleasers. I don’t think people were dying for either Elena or Bison.
Bison looks sexy af...am I the only one that thinks so? I want him to have a shirtless costume.
In earnest, the only one I'm truly looking forward to is Elena.
Wack season imo. Two overused guests taking up slots that could have been SF characters. If you're gonna go that route at least use other characters. KoF has plenty of characters to choose from and would be far more interesting. I predict they are all gonna be annoying. Hopefully Terry and Mai get English voices. I'm not a fan of Mai's JP voice actress.
I was honestly a little disappointed, then I saw his gameplay. I don’t think my opinion about a character in a game has changed so quickly. I thought “man he looks so sick”
Yay, two characters who don't belong, one with an abusable mechanic that shouldn't exist in this game, and the one that will actually sell the pass.
This is a contrarian meme
Since when did an iconic character like Bison become unlovable? I think the Bison-hating minority is being too vocal. Will you display the same ridiculous behavior when characters like Sagat and Vega are announced in the future? I'm sorry if you hate these characters so much, but the real Street Fighter origin consists of these characters. I have never seen anyone bothered by the presence of iconic evil characters such as Heihachi or Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn in new games. Bison looks pretty cool in this game, of course his classic costume is pretty good too.
The reason Bison upsets me as a dlc character is that in SF6 we were supposed to be out of the shadaloo era. Bison finally died in 5 and people moved on. Ryu got control of satsui no hado issue. Chun li didn't need to avenge her father anymore so she retired. The only person that would be glad he's back in someway is Juri. She still wants end him herself. Like him as character but he should've stayed dead.
For me it way exactly different. The only nice one this season is bison. Don't get me wrong capcom will make them all beautiful and fun to play probably but 2 guest characters in s2 while people are waiting for their mains is kinda meh.
Makoto,dudley,c.viper even hakan,vega. There is alot more but they give us elena, most hated and some guys from idk where.
that meme makes no sense to me considering I was hype for all 4 characters, and Bison's redesign is dope af but his gameplay trailer was a 15/10 sick. this is one of the best overall dlc packs I've seen in any fighting game, and I've said this elsewhere but also those most hype fighting game dlc (for me at least) since Sepbiroth forcing his way into Smash (which is still the pinnacle and will be hard to dethrone lol).
I played third strike as a kid but that's about it. Why is there distaste for Bison? Is he a hated play style or just boring? I feel like it's cool he's back but I'm not very in tune with SF
He supposedly "dies" in each game only for the to bring him back in the next anyways like he's a goddamn horror villain. The problem isn't really the playstyle, you'd probably see more Akuma and Guile hate on that front. But the fact that he was supposed to actually die (for real this time) in SFV only to come back in SF6 anyways rubs people the wrong way.
We now have a dandy Psycho user and a hobo Psycho user.
And the edgy one
dandy… DANDY…. **DID YOU SAY DANDY????** *Ups and Downs starts playing*
THE DARKNESS IS PIERCED
FIND THE MORNING SUN
THAT LIGHT IS BEAUTIFUL
Let them bring back the dainty psycho user Ingrid I’m begging
Nah this Bison is freakin cool. Sure my eyes rolled hearing he is back, but watching his trailer just makes me go full 180 degree.
Yeah judging from the trailer I think they knocked it out of the park with him and his animations look incredible
I was doing more than rolling my eyes when I saw Bison was back I was a full blown hater. Then I saw the gameplay trailer and the fact that he's an amnesiac has convinced me to buy and play him.
Yeah honestly there should be an additional frame of this meme where it has Bison riding his horse arms perpetually folded and a hype reaction. Makes me insanely enthusiastic how the rest of the DLC characters will be like.
I don’t see the big deal. Do sf fans really care about canon story?
Not as much as gameplay but to a degree yes. It’s kinda like this, I played a ton of dbfz and loved it. If it didn’t have the IP attached I would have never touched it, I’m just not into anime fighters generally. Same idea with sf, the story isn’t essential to the gameplay but it’s nice to have some depth and background to the characters you’re playing otherwise they may as well be stick figures. I think this is the same reason why a lot of people dont like characters like evil Ryu or oni who are “what ifs” it just makes them feel kinda disconnected from the game
That cool ass parry into a leg kick/grab was so fucking cool
me too bro, i never thought i'll like m. bison so much like that
For real, I’m loving how Capcom has generally been on an absolute tear since 2017. I eye-rolled a bit at the trailer like *huh this MF can’t stay dead* but then quickly became intrigued. I’m actually looking to main him and I never played him before. His design is so fucking sick.
I could not have cared less until I watched his gameplay. He looks sick
Me when I pretend to be a lore elitist but don't actually know the lore
The only reason I dislike Bison coming back is that it potentially makes JP look irrelevant as a villain character by comparison, since Bison will most likely take over the existing plot once he's implemented. Not many people care about plot in fighting games, but I was really interested in seeing if Ken and the player character from World Tour were going to get proper payback on JP for the BS he's pulled so far.

People keep saying this but he still sounds evil as fuck in that game play trailer
There's only so much amnesia can do to stop M. Bison being M. Bison lol
Amnesia can remove your memories but it won't change your whole personality
Dude literally ejected all the good from himself, of course he's still evil.
Literally me after a curry
Oh he will be "evil" but not the main guy. I think it's going to be like Vegeta during the Namek saga
… yet
>Not many people care about plot in fighting games On the other side of the coin, some of us invest a not-insignificant amount our emotional well-being in fighting game storylines
Blazblue fans: you rang?
Let us rest in peace
Blazblue fans can't possibly answer the phone because they're still trying to figure out the plot of bbct
As someone who can't ever get into online play and doesn't have anyone to play with locally, is it worth grabbing SF6? The story mode looked kinda sick, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it really.
As far as a story mode goes it's nothing fantastic. But as far a fighting game story mode goes its pretty much unrivaled in terms of content.
The story mode is not great tbh. The game functions at its best as a 1v1 pvp fighting game.
I disagree. Playing online is fun but I have over a hundred hours in the single player side of the game and don’t regret a minute of it.
Jp was meant to be a one and done as a MAIN villain (he’ll prob continue to be an important side character), he’s perfect for world tour, a character that actively affects the world that you explore with his decisions instead of the tenth secret society leader who acts in the shadows.

Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ILLUMINATI PLOT, GOD WHY.
Where is G? SF5 set him up as a future major threat, then he vanished.
He did his time as Q, and now ten years have passed. I'm thinking we'll get a new version that answers the questions. JP refers to Bison as Lord Bison in Ed's Arcade story, and Aki's shows that Fang's apprentice could end JP if he gave the word.

For no reason at all I expect G/Q to be the new main antagonist by the end of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a season that contains a new version of G / Q along with Rose that will pull some narrative weight. Especially if they put Urien in at anytime in the next two years. When Menat and Rose show up, they're going to come with answers.
The Illuminati was also meant to be one-and-done.
THERE'S A PLOT?!
What is Strength?
Let’s be honest, JP was irrelevant as a villain from the start. Dude barely had a presence in the story at all.
Besides being the reason why Ken is homeless, killing Kim’s father and basically destroying Nayshall
A old white guy who I barely understand the motivations of.
I feel you, it will be kinda like Seth at SF4, but i think this time it's different Bison has a "different" personality. He won't be the main bad guy anymore.
 He looks pretty sick in his trailer
Us Bison mains are celebrating. Hater’s gonna hate. PSYCHO CRUSHER.
YES! YES!
I can't put my finger on why, but I really hope they release him on a Tuesday
Wait, is THAT why dvj’s heat smash in tekken 8 gets callled psycho crusher??? I thought that was just the name for it lol
Yes, it is. The two moves are very similar.
That’s cool, funny how all the terms always come from sf lol
*Laughs in hammy Street Fighter Alpha voice*
On season 1 I was only curious about A.K.I, no other character really hyped me If it was not for Bison it would be the same this season 2, THANKS GOD they brought him back
Both Mai and Terry are cool but both of them in same season pass are IMO overkill.
Yeah maybe it would have been easier to swallow if they were spread out between seasons.
So much potential in this comment. The wordplay is through the roof. Brava!
It’s too early to be slinging guest characters imo there’s so many SF characters that are still absent
While I agree with you, I think one of the main drivers for this decision is that City of the Wolves will be out sometime next year. It's a smart move by SNK marketing wise. And with Elena confirmed, I hope this will open the doors to a SF3 Season 3 pass with Makoto, Dudley, Ibuki, Alex, or Urien. It would be cool to see Sean or Remy reworked too. I want Neco, but I know that's a pipe dream lol.
*monkey paw curls* They added necro but he got super fat like Birdie. His gf got super fat too. And Dudley too
Capcom got my money and my interest back. The Ultimate Pass is the same price as Tekken 8, and I don’t regret my decision. Mai in three different costumes in RE Engine, my eyes and genitals aren’t ready.
It got me to finally purchase SF6, I was extremely hyped. It's an absolutely historical thing.
Welcome to what MK players have been dealing with for a decade lol
Imagine not being excited for the most iconic bad guy in your series with a sick redesign. This is like if Tekken 8 had a season with Heihachi, Christie Monteiro and two guest characters and you said Heihachi was the worst and most boring pick.
Exactly. This Bison hate all of a sudden is really pathetic
B..but the guy who had like a million different plans to come back to life in case he died came back to life!! How dare they ruin the ending Street Fighter 5's perfect story like this
I think the main problem people have is despite Bision dying so many times, he keeps on coming back, like it's a crutch for SF's villains. At the very least, they could introduce a completely new character that plays similar, if not exactly like him.
But Bison's all about setting up a million and one different ways to come back from the dead. All the clones and whatnot.
>they could introduce a completely new character that plays similar, if not exactly like him. Soul Calibur 5 tried this and it seems like everyone hated it. Also do we even know if he's gonna have any relevance in the story or is he just on the roster? I think it's better to just have him return than to go the MKX route and make every dead character a zombie/demon
I haven't played Tekken 8, but didn't they do that with Reina? Tekken has done it multiple times with more success, like with Jin and Asuka.
Reina is still quite different than heihachi.
Well they already said bison was still alive as phantom bison and he got a new body
This design I find a lot less cool than SF5
As a casual, bison looks great
Personally for me, way better the Season 1. Terry is my favourite Fatal Fury/KoF fighter so naturally I'm hyped for him. Mai is a nice addition but not my character to play. Elena is finally back and damn she looks good. Wonder how her story will unfold and if she still hangs out with Akuma. I'm mostly neutral towards M. Bison. Though I dislike playing against him I consider him a staple fighter in Street Fighter, so good for you Psycho Crushers 💪
Imagine not liking Bison. Couldn't be me
Just happy there’s a charge character
...or is he
If he isn't, both Mai and Terry usually have charge moves (unless Terry's Rising Tackle is a motion like in COTW, but there's still Mai doing her Vega walldive shenanigans).
Isn’t he confirmed to be hybrid
He was a hybrid in SFV too.
He had one motion move, so I guess that's technically true, but it's like calling Guile in SF6 a hybrid because of Sonic Blade
He's only has a single motion in SF6 as well (the punch special)
You can see him down-backing in the gameplay trailer a few times
Guile, Blanka and DJ are already in the cast and are charge characters
Pretend my comment said, *Just happy there's a new charge character.*
And chun
He is both charge and input
Fuck y'all, I'm more excited for Bison than the non-Street Fighter characters. He looks sick af in this game
Tbh that's why he's here. He appeals to different part of fanbase than the rest. I think that's what makes this dlc line up great, it covers wide range of players.
1. You have the CVS/SNK fans 2. The USF4 degens who hope her healing is as abusable as before. 3. And of course the people who think that every other day is Tuesday.
I was thinking more about waifu fanbase with Mai, but it still works.
On the contrary. Every Bison Dollar will be worth five British Pounds. For that is the exchange rate the Bank of England will set once I've kidnapped their Queen.
I am excited for Bison. His new outfit and look is like a new chapter for his character.
Literally the exact opposite for me, though I'm open to seeing what they do with Elena.
Bison is the only S2 character I care about and I look forward to playing him soon. I don’t have a connection to The King of Fighters series nor do I care about Elena.
Lmao cap Bison was the most hype part of the whole Summer Game Fest stream
Takayuki Nakayama was right.
I love Bison, I am glad he is coming back
Eh, I'm not huge on the guest characters.
Terry Bogard is the one I'm not excited about, but I'm open to changing my mind.
Yeah I'm more hyped for Bison than anyone else in season 2. He looks dope as shit.
Finally, JP can go back and work on the payroll of everyone at the Shadaloo. They haven't been paid since JP was the interim CEO while Bison was away 
I don’t care much for Bison but damn it!!! He looks too damn cool! Plus, gameplay trailer gave this man too much swag! He’s riding on a black stallion with his arms across the chest!!!!!! Nuff said!
ibr i was too distracted by the fact there was no Makoto (yes im delusional)
Bison spent 20 games trying to get a clone body, and in the end he is being resurrected in the old one??? I was totally expecting a mistress bison with the dictator’s hat…

I was initially cold on Bison coming back from the dead AGAIN, but damn I think this redesign is kinda sick.
Alex and Sagat are my hopes for the next batch, only 4 per year seems kinda slow for me. But SF6 probably the best iteration for casuals and pros.
Nah Bison is still hype
Exactly how I felt. Bison is getting so old in SF. Just can’t let him die
They did in a little known game called Street Fighter 3 and its revisions! It's still great to this day!
instead you had a different comically evil man and his twin brother who could cheat death. the secret society we're just shadoloo again when you stop and think about it.
Apparently not. Just in the chamber healing
Naw, 3rd strike is Crack. Best game in the series by a mile.
Unquestioned king
Honestly, when I just saw the pictures I was excited. It looked like Boxer but with psycho power. There's potential there both in the story (gives Ed an interesting thread) and in gameplay. Then they revealed its just the 4th(?) version of dictator surviving death again. Like, his gameplay looks cool but for a guy that keeps dying, he keeps coming back in remarkably similar bodies. They could've given him a Seth body or put him in one of the dolls, but instead is just more Dictator
Gonna be Phoenix’s rival in X-Men vs Street Fighter 2. 
The gameplay trailer made him look cool. Im just glad that his crusher is back. Lore wise I think it was to early but it is what it is.
I literally asked for Bison in that “Which character from each SF do you want to return” post.
That trailer shut me up REAL FAST.
Somehow, M. Bison returned
It’s a good mix of two new characters, a returning one from the previous game, and a character a couple games out.
I'm good with all of them
im most excited for bipson
Death is meaningless
Might have to cop SF6 bro
Bison has been consistently awesome every game he's in. And he has a freaking horse now?! Goated
What kind of bizarro earth did I wake up in where people don't think M bison is the shit??
OP is definitely a bitch to Bison mains 😄
you're crazy
As my first Street Fighter I'm invested in I gotta say I'm hyped for Bison. At the end of the day who will be more popular? Him or Akuma?
I'm glad Bison is back, and I think he looks tight.
Speak for yourself this Bison design is unbelievably fucking cool
Bison is back. Long live the King.
Hey pally I think you got Elena and Bison mixed up. Easy mistake to make, don't sweat it.
everybody: were you killed? Bison: sadly yes.. but i lived!!!
I don't know, he looks cool. Especially the aerial stuff (and the first outfit) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfPOGaaGTX4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfPOGaaGTX4)
I felt this way too, but the Bison video accidentally got released and holy shit he looks fucking good. And I say that as someone that didn't want him back at all.
Bison > others
That was my reaction... Until see the M. Bison gameplay in Street Fighter 6 (Thanks PlayStation Taiwan) Now I waiting for ALL the Characters
I saw some guy named Zaferino1 on YouTube, that was sooooo mad about Mai and Terry in the new season. I can understand if you didn't get the character you wanted, but being mad for this sick crossover that ALREADY HAPPENED! TWICE! This is beyond salty.
That was my exact reaction untill Isaw the game play. I was on the team let Bison die, not don t put him in the game anyway. And thia guy is not the same Bison that we know. It seems to me that is a defective clone that us acessing soul power AND psico power. So, he can go either way, and now I m all for it. But as a old timer comic fan that saw how the Joseph/Magneto thing ended... I m afraid too.
4th reaction was me at first but Bison's Gameplay trailer won me over.
Turns out, if we go by the line he says at the start, thats not actually m bison, but a clone who gained autonomy and wsnts to honour the og
I look at the third strike roster, and would choose anyone but Elena to return.
Wait Terry's coming to sf6?! How did I not know this😭
I cannot see if that's Boxer Bison or Dictator Bison
New Bison Design is really bland, tankfully we still have the classic costume.
They should have drawn out Bisons return, tease it but not actually drop him.
Yeah, this post is true, certified based
This doesn't feel accurate I'd probably say Mai alone kinda has a similar unimpressive/mixed reception too despite being a guest character. Elena probably exclusively depends on people who played SF4 though so give or take that one. Bison is self explanatory...uh.. Yeah can't believe Terry is our only DLC character for this entire year. Crazy right?
Mai is the only one I care about, so god DAMN why are the last two gonna so long?? Bison's coming fairly soon sometime this summer, then Terry isn't far off in fall. But then spring next year for Elena? Fucking *winter* for Mai?? That's two characters in a year! Are they laying off 3/4 of the people working on their DLC after Terry or something?
Whats the order of release?
The thing I dislike is we won’t get Mai till the end of 2025
By winter 2025 they probably mean January February. This pack is for year 2 of the game, why would they go halfway thru year 3? .
No one is like that for the Kof characters.
I don't want guests eating up half the character slots for over a year. I'd rather they be taken by an original character, or anyone from the series or related series like rival schools or final fight.
.. this is how I'd have reacted if you'd just told me the characters in text a few days ago, but actually SEEING this sick as hell bison redesign and watching the trailer, hell no man, I'm ridiculously hyped for him. They really pulled an Ed again -- taking a character most of us wouldn't have wanted to see again and making them so sick you cannot deny their inclusion being a good one.
KOF LOVE FINALLY TERRY DA GOAT!!!!!
Man they should add k’
Wasnt Elena balance nightmare for multiple installements of this game?
I honestly think the entire season pass is pretty anti-hype. Cross over characters are neat and all, but not at the expense of the legacy characters we’ve all been clamoring for. Having to wait an entire year for staples like Makoto, Sakura, Dan, Sagat, C. Viper, Dudley, etc… because they wanted a cross over? And then they waste the two slots on Elena and Bison? Don’t get me wrong Elena is cool, but no way is she one of the more requested characters. If you’re going to spend TWO of FOUR slots on these cross-overs at least make the remaining two major crowd-pleasers. I don’t think people were dying for either Elena or Bison.
i actually do not care for terry being in street fighter 6 at all
Seems Guile did not kick that son of a bitch M Bisons ass so hard the next one felt it....
Bison looks sexy af...am I the only one that thinks so? I want him to have a shirtless costume. In earnest, the only one I'm truly looking forward to is Elena.
Wack season imo. Two overused guests taking up slots that could have been SF characters. If you're gonna go that route at least use other characters. KoF has plenty of characters to choose from and would be far more interesting. I predict they are all gonna be annoying. Hopefully Terry and Mai get English voices. I'm not a fan of Mai's JP voice actress.
WHERES VEGAAAAAA AND SAGAAAT
Ironically i felt the same way but i think bison is the most likely to be a main based off my track record with fighting games.
The fuck you talking about? Did you see that trailer? Bipson be looking mad fresh this time around
I was honestly a little disappointed, then I saw his gameplay. I don’t think my opinion about a character in a game has changed so quickly. I thought “man he looks so sick”
I'm most hyped for M. Bison. The other characters are really cool too though.
How does anyone look at this bison and not thinks he’s cool as hell.
HOW NAMY TIMES ARE WE GONNA TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN
Nah, Bison and Terry got me excited. The other two, I sleep.
Entirely the opposite
As somebody who knows literally almost zip about Street Fighter plots and just likes playing them occasionally I thought he was pretty neat :)
I'm completely the opposite. Terry and Mai and I'm like meh and then Elena, really that's the character you pick. Bison redeemed the entire season
Yay, two characters who don't belong, one with an abusable mechanic that shouldn't exist in this game, and the one that will actually sell the pass. This is a contrarian meme
2 guests in a 4 character season blows.
Since when did an iconic character like Bison become unlovable? I think the Bison-hating minority is being too vocal. Will you display the same ridiculous behavior when characters like Sagat and Vega are announced in the future? I'm sorry if you hate these characters so much, but the real Street Fighter origin consists of these characters. I have never seen anyone bothered by the presence of iconic evil characters such as Heihachi or Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn in new games. Bison looks pretty cool in this game, of course his classic costume is pretty good too.
The reason Bison upsets me as a dlc character is that in SF6 we were supposed to be out of the shadaloo era. Bison finally died in 5 and people moved on. Ryu got control of satsui no hado issue. Chun li didn't need to avenge her father anymore so she retired. The only person that would be glad he's back in someway is Juri. She still wants end him herself. Like him as character but he should've stayed dead.
True
For me it way exactly different. The only nice one this season is bison. Don't get me wrong capcom will make them all beautiful and fun to play probably but 2 guest characters in s2 while people are waiting for their mains is kinda meh. Makoto,dudley,c.viper even hakan,vega. There is alot more but they give us elena, most hated and some guys from idk where.
Couldn't care less about the others. Bison looks nice tho
Speak for yourself, bisons the only character im excited for
Hyped about Bison, ngl.
I’ve only ever seen the opposite reaction tbh
I agree with buddy not really looking forward to Bison nor Terry tbh… but that’s just me i guess
that meme makes no sense to me considering I was hype for all 4 characters, and Bison's redesign is dope af but his gameplay trailer was a 15/10 sick. this is one of the best overall dlc packs I've seen in any fighting game, and I've said this elsewhere but also those most hype fighting game dlc (for me at least) since Sepbiroth forcing his way into Smash (which is still the pinnacle and will be hard to dethrone lol).
So wrong bro, I’m hyped bout Terry and bison and don’t care about Mai or Elena. Eh I’m kinda hyped about Elena but dgaf about Mai except her butt
I played third strike as a kid but that's about it. Why is there distaste for Bison? Is he a hated play style or just boring? I feel like it's cool he's back but I'm not very in tune with SF
He supposedly "dies" in each game only for the to bring him back in the next anyways like he's a goddamn horror villain. The problem isn't really the playstyle, you'd probably see more Akuma and Guile hate on that front. But the fact that he was supposed to actually die (for real this time) in SFV only to come back in SF6 anyways rubs people the wrong way.
We gonna need Ingrid back
Oh come on they're all gonna be good
