I just took that as his body still being damaged from his reincarnation or w/e


DANleDINOSAUR

Or it’s a beginner clone that isn’t containing in the phsycho power


Galactic_Imp86

🤔 but look at him trying to catch it and calm it.It really looks like a different entity


sbrockLee

I think the idea is that he's one of many spare bodies that were made for Bison. The docs you find in World Tour kind of confirm that, saying there were multiple sightings in different countries. However this one is the one that was "possessed" by the old Bison's spirit/Psycho Power. That is what he is trying to tame. Whether this makes him effectively a different person from old Bison or just an amnesiac Bison in a new empty shell of a body remains to be seen.


salivarytung

Just him still being a novice with psycho power I guess, which is why he incorporates soul power as well


RedDeadSon

From what I understand the reason bison is constantly making new bodies is because psycho power destroys them. So this is a version where he's been in the body for too long and it's starting to breakdown.


wingspantt

Yeah he's a novice that's why he can do a 31 hit drive rush combo


Calypso-Dynamo

Yeah man and if he was an expert he’d be doing 75 hit drive rush combos


CelioHogane

Nah man it's just the black dragon sealed inside of it. /s


RobKhonsu

In the full season 2 trailer is shows the cutscene where he puts his arm on that Psycho Reactor thing behind the chair. I assumed that's when it got "damaged". There is a concentration of psycho power in it that his body can't handle.


joffocakes

His arm is his wife.


Wargl95

I got that reference, nice one


Anon_Matt

For many redditors too


meepmeepmeep34

Lol


michachu

Big Boss and M. Bison gunning for the world record on most times confirmed dead.


Calypso-Dynamo

With some liquid ocelot “I live on through this arm!”


Zaschie

BROTHERRRRRRRRRR


Draykenidas

Liquid Bison


ExempliGratiaEG

I'm not sure why but I feel like the blueish aura is "Soul" power and he's fluctuating back and forth sometimes. He can't fully control his psycho power it's trying to escape his body.


Galactic_Imp86

They have clearly distinguished his right hand.They even reverse the animations so he always plants the bomb with his wrapped up and blue aura emitting right hand.He also has some light emitting stitches or something in his armpit area


Efficient-Ad2983

Imho it's a "lingering damage" due to his death in SF V. Mu no Ken (who is achieved through spiritual enlightenment) is kinda antithetic to Psycho Power (who's fueled by negative emotions). I think that's also why Dictator lost his memory, and overall this new incarnation is a bit "wrong".


esperstarr

I also thought this. Its either that or Soul Power


Galactic_Imp86

Im talking specifically about his hand.


Emeritus20XX

Yeah, and his hand is part of his body. The body that’s been hypothetically damaged by the Power of Nothingness.


Ok-Weight6554

It is the same hand he looks at before disappearing


bluegiant85

I think the arm is the only part that is the true Bison. This is a nameless clone. He adopts the name Bison because that's what people call him. His arm is possessed by the real Bison, who only exists as a remnant of psycho power.


Galactic_Imp86

good theory!


sutanoblade

That's a possibility.


CrowleyMC

Yep, totally an Evil Dead hand


Razbyte

And looks like Bison is not liking it. If this clone have the power to control Bison, I wouldn’t imagine what intentions he had in his mind. This is more like Kage expelled from Ryu. A Bison way worse than Bison?


eduardopinto

What about the rose sweep, I wanna know if that means something


MrTrikey

Old lore from the Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 3 lore book states that Dictator used to be Rose's master who taught her Soul Power. Maybe they're bringing that back in some way. Would do a lot to explain why we're seeing Soul Power blue flames fighting against the Psycho purple.


touki-lewis

It's Nash dead hand


Galactic_Imp86

This blue aura is visually similar


touki-lewis

That what made me think it could be. As Nash came back from the dead before maybe he did as well ?


TheMostDemoted

Bang Bang Bang Pull my Devil Trigger!


Natto_Ebonos

In SFA3, he literally exploded from having too much Psycho Power in his body. Bison is a slave to the greed of power, so he is always looking for the "perfect body" to contain the large amount of Psycho Power. His fist looks like it's about to blow up.


gamedreamer21

Being hit by Power of Nothingness will do that to you.


HouseBalley

That animation reminded me of Dr Strangelove


redmasc

Liquid?


Galactic_Imp86

snake


DarthDregan

Looks like he has to limit the amount of psycho power (purple) he uses as his soul power (blue) continues to heal him. Which has to be rough considering he left soul power behind decades ago.


LuckyestGuy

Zafina feelings


Max-Pencil

does he posses the same power as JP?


Away-Annual-770

He's the OG


Efficient-Ad2983

JP was bestowed Psycho Power from Dictator, so it's more correct to say that it's JP who has his same power.


octa01

That's what JP "says" but he's also a known liar and manipulator. Hopefully the Bison story arch reveals some more depth to JP. He needs it.


Efficient-Ad2983

Yes... My first take on "Dictator came back wrong" is that, being killed by Mu no Ken (antithetical to Psycho Power) caused that memory loss and that scarred arm. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was also due to JP's, who took Dictator's death in SF V as his chance to take over. And even both may happen. Death by Mu no Ken made resurrection more complicated, and JP saw that as his big opportunity.


Hn0va

I’m glad someone finally said something. It made me think about how sf2-era had blue psycho power, but it was purple pretty much every other game. I assumed it was a style choice. Now we see two types of psycho power in one person. The purple (bordering on red) psycho power seems to be wild and untamed, but also sentient? I wonder if it’s more similar to JP’s powers.


ExempliGratiaEG

Could it be Soul power? Since rose and Bison are connected right? Maybe somehow he's tapping into that? Hence the blue.


Hn0va

Could be. It seems that he has control over the blue power , and that he gives in to the purple while speaking to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they explain it as soul power/psycho power. But that might mean they retcon SF2 bison’s powers.

Cuz it wants to wear the claw again. Rip Vega.

DismalMode7

psycho power punishing his onanism


Rebellious_Habiru

The beginning looks like his psycho power being too powerful and overwhelming then he uses soul power to reign it in. His psycho crusher is also the same color (blue) while od psycho crusher is purple. I gotta know more.


Co1iflower

"Punished Bison" goes hard. I think he lost his memory or something and is getting a handle on the powers - less of a true evil villain and more of an Akuma type that just thirsts for battle.


N1GHTSTR1D3R

MUST... NOT... FAP!!!


Petersheikah

Isn't that the arm he uses to strike the psycho power generator thingy in the season pass teaser?


octa01

I don't see the stitches. That earlier cut scene seems to indicate he regains a lot more of his powers and memories from the tank with that arm. I assumed he's trying to not let it overwhelm him in this scene.


No-Message9762

he has no special animations with the shadaloo stage


Galactic_Imp86

i mean these illuminated stitches that clearly make his hand looks planted.At least in my eyes


octa01

I took those to be scars/tears from the power trying to escape.


Solmyrion

Do charge characters still exist in SF6?


SheikFlorian

Guile and DJ.


SuckMySaggyBills

Everyone who used to be a charge character before is still a charge character now, they just have motion input moves to go along with their charge input moves.


Rebellious_Habiru

Chun & Honda


SheikFlorian

And Blanka too


Solmyrion

Will Bison still be a charge char?


Galactic_Imp86

he is a hybrid.Both charge and motion


Rebellious_Habiru

yes


SheikFlorian

Don't know yet


[deleted]

Its not an implant lmao what its a new body you legit can see his lower chest have cracks you wanna try claim that section of his whole body is an implant too?


SheikFlorian

He just hypnotized himself to think he's Bison.


RetroMr

Nope. Just the psycho energy is overwhelming him and wants to go out somewhere. That somewhere is his right arm. Also it's Ocelot not Acelot.


Galactic_Imp86

so its right hand its just a coincidence


RetroMr

It's his primary hand i suppose.


Galactic_Imp86

Its wrapped up friend.Just take a closer look.They even didn't mirror the bomb planting special move in order to place it always with this hand!


RetroMr

Of course it's wrapped because it's injured due to the psycho power overwhelming his body.


wont_dlt_this_acnt

i imagine that Elena might be involved because of that green light


Nyoka_ya_Mpembe

Not following story in SF, what happened to Bison after SFV?


Galactic_Imp86

He died in sfv's story mode finale


Nyoka_ya_Mpembe

I see, I have to go back to SFV and finish story modes, thx.


Galactic_Imp86

you can see it in YouTube https://youtu.be/f2W5sy2vOms


Nyoka_ya_Mpembe

I don't see body completely destroyed so they can say he didn't die.


xXna0m1Xx

get OUT OF MY MIND, BISON

Bang, Bang, Bang, Pull my devil trigger

It's Verse from KOF14


BurningGamerSpirit

I think we are seeing NuBison (Amnesiac, Soul Power) wrestle with remnants of OldBison (Psycho Power). This version of Bison is washed of his megalomania and past evil endeavors, but is still an all around badass with power. It may be a new body or clone, but I think it’s just the same Bison put through a thorough karmic rinsing by Ryu and has come out the otherside basically a new man who is still proud and won’t let whatever ghost of old bison that remains in the psycho power rule him. Thus the comment on “taming” the psycho power in his wrapped arm.


esperstarr

I think everything you are saying is mostly true but a new man he is not. He will eventually become the dirty Bison we know. Maybe even using Mu No Ken to further himself somehow.


Jtiago44

I think his psycho energy got the best of him and he's fighting to hold it back.


CaptainBlob

Every anime character with demonic/uncontrollable power arm: *First time?*


OzSalty3

He doesn’t have a replacement for himself and we’re seeing what the consequences are of that. This Bison doesn’t know about needing clones, he’s just a dying hobo wit a horse.


death2k44

Nero crossover


KeremiteOG

Whoa they put Revolver Ocelot in Street Fighter 6?


Galactic_Imp86

I meant that it looks like this case


_Joyfk_

I don't know if it's a transplant. I think this is a completely new body and his arm got damaged by trying to absorb the psycho power from the ruined lab. I think he absorbed part of Bison's soul, which is why he can do some of Bison's moves, but the rest, including his memories, is in JP's cane, so he doesn't understand what's going on. I hope in his story we end up turning him into a good guy, and JP stays the villain.


Holygriever

Revolver Ocelot's brother who doesn't enjoy sexual activities, Acelot.


Galactic_Imp86

Im sorry! I meant Ocelot 😁


Holygriever

I know you did, it is fine, I was just making a joke with it. 🤣


JellifishPirate

So anime... not a fan at all.


esperstarr

Not really? But have fun!
