Thoughts on Characters

I've currently been giving M. Bison a try, and man does he have some of the best normals in the game.  Standing MK will hit over a lot of pokes, standing hard kick is godlike.  It will trade or beat any jump in, nasty range and comes out extremely fast.  It will beat hurricane kicks, and standing (not wakeup) crossups.  I would have to say it's an even more brainless anti air than balrog crouch fierce.  clp is as fast as Balrog and Sagats as well so maybe I can get out of poke strings.  Low strong is fast and will hit a lot of stuff.

He plays a lot like A2 Bison, where he can whiff the devils reverse a lot and build up meter, just hang out at midscreen or farther away and turtle up.  The only thing that is really a weakness is the Psycho Crusher.  It does a fair amount of chip, but it's slow and the priority on the non-ex versions seems really bad, I would much rather have his fireball than that.

Can't wait to try him out at Shibuya Sports!
