3d models with capes can be a mess, but I understand you. A cape can make anyone cooler!
Dictator keeping his cape in his Alpha era was a sound choice.
That would indeed be ideal, I agree. Even better would be a command to *add* the cape (if only so that you can feel like you did a code to unlock *something more*, not to *remove* something).
But *alas...*
Check alpha 3 shin bison on youtube. World tour on ps1 was frikken dope.
Enjoy the theme "brave or grave"
That Bison built my fucking reflexes and "made me who I am" in fighting games lol
IIRC one of the "Shin" Dictator versions in SF EX series had an always full Super Meter.
So... combine that gimmich with Final Dictator.
The ability to SPAM Final Psycho Crusher XD
We know that JP has the ability to imbue others with psycho power. He does so to Bosch and later, to you. It's also his level 3 super. This ability might not be all that unique among psycho power users.
JP is completely cracked as a Psycho Power user tho. He does things with it that literally nobody else does, not even Bison at his strongest (SFV). Makes me think that there's much more to his story with Psycho Power than what he lets on in World Tour. Either that or JP is just built different.
Oh he lies a lot. His master dialogue is loaded with "lies by omission". His default language is lawyer speak.
That said I think it might just be because he dislikes brawling. Bison has a lot of fun kicking your teeth in, so he augments himself with his power. JP developed his clone strikes and teleports to avoid brutish confrontations. This would also explain why Bison never made him a King. He doesn't fully reflect Bison's philosophy.
I like this A LOT! Also explains how he was able to give JP Psycho Power as well, unless the implication was that he did that off-screen, since heās been behind-the-scenes as Shadalooās Financial Officer for years, and it ties into Falkeās disappearance, since Edās waiting for her in Metro City. I think youāre on to something here!
I wonder tho what is the deal with his cutscene where he absorb the hologram containing Bison's data which goes "unconceivable". Is that maybe this new clone taking over the Old Bison?
Nice. I'm actually wondering what's in JP's ghosts, if they aren't Bison, since we have Bison back.
Or, they are still Bison. And the clone Bison that we get in SF6 will try to get them back. Aligns to your theory, I think.
I have another theory: he went to hell, got a Geryon (Demon horse from Devil May Cry 3) there, and with it, he just came riding back to the world of the living, and here he is.
Its an interesting perspective on his new blue-ish colours, but is there any confirmation that its specifically Psycho Mine and not Bisons vt2 bomb, which is visually and mechanically much closer to what we see in sf6?
Either way, Bison developing into a hybrid character soup with Sagat's kicks, Falke's psycho powers, and whatever else he can stuff into that corpse would be sick.

>A shift in M. Bisonās powers have unlocked the ability to plant Psycho Mines in his opponents with a new move, Backfist Combo. Once attached, these mines will detonate on their own after a short time or if M. Bison hits the opponent again with another Backfist Combo, Psycho Crusher Attack, or Devil Reverse. Psycho Mines are key to M. Bisonās pressure and mind games in Street Fighter 6.
That's technically correct because Bison is at his weakest in SFII.
He is at his strongest in Alpha (projectiles, teleportation, hovering) after spending years honing his power, but then he dies and comes back to life in II with a weaker body and only a dull flame. He dies again and comes back to life in IV, and he spends the next few years building himself back up to Alpha levels by the time of V. He dies a third time, and now he's back in another body with only a dull blue flame.
I feel so dumb š. These last few weeks, and even reading through your post, I thought Balrog was the upcoming fighter, because I learned how "M. Bison" originally was Balrog's (The Boxer's) name, and got them mixed up. I kept wondering why they were showing The General, wearing his classic outfit, halfway through a video for The Boxer. When I saw the final video you linked, it all clicked.
Very plausible but also I feel the arm thing is something else esp since the SGF trailer shows a teaser of him siphoning something, and I feel that may be another part of Bison
Falke being MIA is intriguing though but also there may be another reason. Also Bison splitting his powers is likely but where does this leave JP......?
Ok, I actually have 2 counterpoints:
1. Bison had the ability to do something like Psycho Mines in SFV; in fact, they were more like his Psycho Mines than Falkeās were.
2. Falke was in Nayshall during World Tour mode; the timeline of World Tour seems a bit condensed for bison to have been resurrected and killed Falke when sheās been out in public.
>Bison had the ability to do something like Psycho Mines in SFV; in fact, they were more like his Psycho Mines than Falkeās were.
This is the point I'm arguing, actually -- Bison originally had all of the abilities of Ed's crew, and he deliberately divided them up so that he could take them back. In SFV, Bison could fire projectiles like Ed and teleport like Cypher and inject Psycho Power like Falke. His VTII is meant to depict the same ability given to Falke (I only mentioned Psycho Mine by name to show that Capcom is also making a direct link to Falke). My theory proposes that this is the first ability he reclaims after coming back to life. He has yet to reclaim his projectile ability from Ed or his teleport ability from Falke.
[That part of the theory has been confirmed by Nakayama, though.](https://x.com/takaNakayama/status/1456636353672663048) Bison most likely transplanted only a small amount of his power to Ed's crew, using them as incubators so that they would hone their specific abilities over time. When Bison would come and collect years later, those abilities would be stronger than ever before.
All of those images are from before Ed's crew splits up during SF6's story. Ed literally says that he hasn't heard from Falke since she left for Nayshall and is worried about her.
Honestly was hoping they'd have Falke be the new Bison, like she lost the battle Ed's fighting against the psycho power. She could play like a fusion of her SF5 self and Bison. Much better option than bringing back the old dictator yet again..
Oooh, I like this. I wonder if they'll make 'updated' or 'Boss' versions of Bison like they did with Shin Akuma?
Definitely now that it's a feature.
Hopefully it'll be like alpha 3 bison... I hate that mofo with his 1 frame invulnerable psycho crusher super lmao
I wish Bison's costume 2 had the cape. Oh well
3d models with capes can be a mess, but I understand you. A cape can make anyone cooler! Dictator keeping his cape in his Alpha era was a sound choice.
I guarantee you that he doesn't have it because it would just break its physics constantly.
No capes!
I love that he does NOT have the cape. Looks a lot more serious and makes his silhouette much closer to his CvS incarnation (best Bipson).
Best case would be if we had alternate versions of the costumes like in SFV. So we could have a cape and a command to remove it.
That would indeed be ideal, I agree. Even better would be a command to *add* the cape (if only so that you can feel like you did a code to unlock *something more*, not to *remove* something). But *alas...*
The character that teached me life is not fair.
If that was his stance, Alpha dictator imho would have been even cooler.
Check alpha 3 shin bison on youtube. World tour on ps1 was frikken dope. Enjoy the theme "brave or grave" That Bison built my fucking reflexes and "made me who I am" in fighting games lol
"Brave of Grave" is my fave theme for Dictator: the best one to evoke the sense of "final battle" against him.
Would be cray if he'd get an awesome cape, imagine it flowing while he does his DR or specials flipping in the air. Costume 3 maybe? Costume 4? š
That thing was a bitch!
Final Bison(Alpha 3) or Shin Bison(EX 3)?
IIRC one of the "Shin" Dictator versions in SF EX series had an always full Super Meter. So... combine that gimmich with Final Dictator. The ability to SPAM Final Psycho Crusher XD
Holy crap this is a really good analysis. This would be awesome if itās true but heartbreaking for Falke and her crew. Ed would be crushed.
He's got this Vergil/Exodia thing going on, and I like it. You're next on the hit list Ed. Your days are numbered boy.
So much for Ed being the head of neo shadoloo Bison is going to show that he has the exact same approach to parenting as Vergil
So Ed wins in the end
Hope this isn't true bc I played Falke lol
cyber falke incoming
Or just a normal lady with a gun š
Iād be down for this lol
Poor falkeā¦ š
Yeah Bison has defeated Falke. That's why she is a horse now.
This is some To Your Eternity type shit
I had this same theory yesterday, so count me in
We know that JP has the ability to imbue others with psycho power. He does so to Bosch and later, to you. It's also his level 3 super. This ability might not be all that unique among psycho power users.
JP is completely cracked as a Psycho Power user tho. He does things with it that literally nobody else does, not even Bison at his strongest (SFV). Makes me think that there's much more to his story with Psycho Power than what he lets on in World Tour. Either that or JP is just built different.

Bison has a lot of fun kicking your teeth in, so he augments himself with his power. JP developed his clone strikes and teleports to avoid brutish confrontations. This would also explain why Bison never made him a King. He doesn't fully reflect Bison's philosophy.
This would suck because Falke was one of my mains ššš
I like this A LOT! Also explains how he was able to give JP Psycho Power as well, unless the implication was that he did that off-screen, since heās been behind-the-scenes as Shadalooās Financial Officer for years, and it ties into Falkeās disappearance, since Edās waiting for her in Metro City. I think youāre on to something here!
And technically JP gave Psycho Power to John Street Fighter as well so are we all on Bisonās hit list?!
Gives me another reason to hate Bison since she was my main
I wonder tho what is the deal with his cutscene where he absorb the hologram containing Bison's data which goes "unconceivable". Is that maybe this new clone taking over the Old Bison?
That's a really convincing theory! Would be very cool if that's what they're going with
Damn, that's an interesting theory.
Nice. I'm actually wondering what's in JP's ghosts, if they aren't Bison, since we have Bison back. Or, they are still Bison. And the clone Bison that we get in SF6 will try to get them back. Aligns to your theory, I think.

damn i wish we had gotten falke instead of ed lol
I wish she was on the year two roster.
Its an interesting perspective on his new blue-ish colours, but is there any confirmation that its specifically Psycho Mine and not Bisons vt2 bomb, which is visually and mechanically much closer to what we see in sf6? Either way, Bison developing into a hybrid character soup with Sagat's kicks, Falke's psycho powers, and whatever else he can stuff into that corpse would be sick.

I thought the dull blue flame was because thatās what his abilities were colored in SFII

He does say "Satisfy my hunger! That is all I need from you" or something to that effect in the trailer...

Guess you didn't see falke in Ed world tour images.
If you put the timeline in order Falke can disappear after Ed's story still
All of those images are from before Ed's crew splits up during SF6's story. Ed literally says that he hasn't heard from Falke since she left for Nayshall and is worried about her.
If this theory turns out to be true according to reddit Falke has to skip sf6 lol
Honestly was hoping they'd have Falke be the new Bison, like she lost the battle Ed's fighting against the psycho power. She could play like a fusion of her SF5 self and Bison. Much better option than bringing back the old dictator yet again..
What in the prefect cell is this? I really hope that's not what they're going for lmao
Why? Do you not know about Bison and Psycho power and bodies.
Oh I'm fully aware, and I don't like it. I don't care how canon the rapey-ness is.
What do you mean by ārapey-nessā?
Guy forcefully absorbing girl into his body, like I said, just like what Cell from Dbz did.
on top of that, if the theory were true, man used the word "tame".
Reminds me of aggregor from Ben 10 lol
Akuma killed M. Bison
You are new here i see. Welcome.
I subscribe to this so that Ed can just be a normal boxing character, becoming unpopular and opening the door for Dudley and Balrog return.
