SFV M. Bison ... a few nice tips

GROUND

1. Lotsa info here, even tho old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVMIvk7QgdM 
2. cr.LK, cr.LP, st.LK, lk-scissors might still combo now. ? 
1. Maybe safer to just cr.LK, st.LK, lk-scissors. 
3. After cross up mk, just stick with st.MP... b/c it's easier than st.HK, plus if they block it's safer. 
1. But don't forget, if they block j.MK you can throw after... or do st.HK to crush counter. Right? Pretty sure that is a thing... so for the throw game, st.HK follow up is probably good (better? mix it in? I say mix it in.). 
4. st.MP, slight delay, cr.MP is enough time to charge a scissors kick or blast. 
5. REMINDER: Do his cr.HP early if they are trying to cross you up, and it'll hit. But yeah, you have to react immediately to their jump. I know this, but interesting to talk about it... strange that it feels easier to jump back attack instead. 

JUMPS

1. So his cross up j.mk is so good b/c it has a huge hitbox behind him (he and Ken have it)... helps with his floaty jump to still have decent crossup options.
2. j.HP is better hitting down... smaller hurtbox, so that's why it trades with semi-reliable anti-airs sometimes. But as I know, not in the vid, it is a more meaty(?plus) hit for combos if you hit super deep/late. But it also can hit way too high and make a follow up st.HP blockable, so gotta be careful. Compare to j.HK which never can hit too high on normal height characters. 
3. j.HK... hits further to the right horizontally (from Player 1 left side) than j.HP, but it can never hit too high to mess up a jump in combo, so really it's better to use. 
1. I Wonder... could j.HP be better on counter hit jump in super duper deep... does it allow you to do something you normally couldn't do???? What's slower than st.HP into combo... I guess psycho-axe but no, that is never going to connect or even be worth it, less dmging combo right? 
4. nj.MP,MP (hell attack) combos into i think mk-scissors easiest. But sometimes you can do the other scissors versions I'm pretty sure, just tricky angles a little. 
5. j.LP does seem to have a really good hit box. Devilhorse uses it pretty much exclusively for quick reaction anti-air, anti-claw-wall-dive type stuff.

SPECIAL MOVES

1. Blast is good to do vs. Crapplers um Grapplers right out of st.MK range b/c what can they do about it? (((well I think they can jump on you but then you cr.HP antiair) Explains at time 31:30 on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVMIvk7QgdM
1. 
   
   
   
   
2. -2, -1, +2, +6 on blocking lp, mp, hp, EX blasts.
3. EX-blast, dash in and CROSS THEM UP. Works vs. lowbies more often I think. 
4. EX-blast, you can slide time to make slide safe.
5. EX-blast, dash in, perfectly time your throw since it is +6 on block. 
6. *** after they block a SCISSORS, and whiff their attack, instead of me doing st.MK, I should be doing cr.MP into combo!
1. Ken's light tatsu is only 3 frames if it hits point blank (funny comment in that Bafael video).
2. OH, Ryu's DP's are 3, 4, 5, 4 frame for lp, mp, hp. EX. Didn't remember that before. 
3. Ken's DPs are 3, 4, 4, 4 frame startups. 
4. Ken's Blocked Tatsus are -8, -9, -4, -59 on lk, mk, hk, EX onBlock. 
7. Devil's Reverse is between +2 and +6 onBlock. 
8. EX Dev's Reverse is betw +7 amd +11 onBlock. NICE. 
9. EX inferno is -1 only, so safe. 
10. EX inferno anti-crossup into Psycho Crusher combo. 

VSKILLS

1. Vskill-1, vs. Zangief, if he does a max charge HP, you can counter with the vskill-1 counter thing (probably still can, even tho it doesnt do a fireball from blocking regular hit not). 
2. Vskill 2, good to pair with EX blast for crossup stuff. 

VTRIGGERS

1. You need a HK.SCISSORS to cancel into a Vtrig and then combo with cr.MP. lk and mk scissors wont work. 
2. Vtrigger2, bomb detonate into jump towards, j.HP (had to be nearly equal in height to them... it just takes a slight delay), land, EX Inferno side switch (cross under) trick. Picoro used CPT south ameria 1 in June 2020, I think 2nd to last match... it was NOT against a Boxer.
3. Vtrigger1. Changes all stats. 
1. Cancelling normal into special, NO CHARGE required. Nice. That's why dash behind, st.LK, Blast, EX-scissors is a thing. 
2. Makes infernos way less negative. They are now "ONE TYPE OF INFERNO" that comes out faster and juggle pushes them higher up. They become -5, -5, -5, +4 for lp,mp,hp,EX. Normally outside of Vtrig1 they are -12, -11, -10, -1 and mostly crazy bad. 
3. Blasts "ONE TYPE now", come out faster(?), does more dmg 70 --> 100, and it looks bigger/different. +1,+1,+1,+7 on block in Vtrig1.
4. Scissors mostly same, but EX scissors +3 now instead of +2.  

 

SFV a couple of move origins

 The kid figured out Bison's jab in SFV looks just like Potemkin's in recent Guilty Gears:

Potemkin's Fierce punch I think:

While the same move is merely Bison's jab. ;)

SFV Origins of some things

 Bison based on Yasunori Katō, from Teito Monogatari. Yep, checks out. https://www.sideshow.com/blog/street-fighter-15-things-you-never-knew-about-m-bison/

Quote: "M. Bison is based upon Yasunori Katō, the protagonist of a famous series of novels, which are referred to as Teito Monogatari. The series would go on to sell millions of copies in Japan and spawn numerous adaptations. Katō is believed to be a demon given human form, who has been trying to destroy Japan through numerous supernatural schemes for centuries. His most iconic outfit is a military uniform that he wore when he joined the Imperial Japanese Army. 

Yasunori Katō is considered to be an important figure in Japanese literature. He also inspired the designs for General Washizaki from Riki-Oh and Shiliew of the Rain from One Piece."

And quote from poster TheEnd, https://www.resetera.com/threads/street-fighter-a-beloved-franchise-drenched-in-racism-cashing-on-racial-stereotypes-for-30-years.18543/page-16:

Bison's design is originally based on the villains Yasunori Kato from the anime OVA series Doomed Megalopolis (who was just some hellbent dark occultist wizard taking up fashion based off some of the WWII Japanese army) and Washizaki from Riki-Oh manga, but I'm sure they channeled certain aspects of Bison's character from parts of Nazi Germany, most possibly.

But, based on what's very likely his original inspiration for a design template I don't think Bison was ever intended as a literal stand-in for Nazis or is even Thai tbh (bios say he's Japanese, which makes sense).

BTW here are the characters I'm referring to:

Riki-Oh Washizaki:

Doomed Megalopolis Yasunori Kato:

Also according to https://www.sideshow.com/blog/street-fighter-15-things-you-never-knew-about-m-bison/  , "Vega was originally meant to be an updated version of Geki, a claw-wielding ninja from the original Street Fighter". 

But Bison must be Thai, back to that resetera.com thread:

What is this you say, he loses the star to gain the Shadaloo symbol, eyes change a bit, and he's no longer Asian (cheekbones change, nose change)... ah ha::

Twitter person Patti Black @pattiblacxk says: "That's cool, I'm kinda wondering how much of the cast is lifted/homage now lol. Like I know guile is Stroheim (also Rose in Alpha is Lisa Lisa), and Balrog is Tyson. Could make for a fun little chart". https://twitter.com/Protoman/status/1158833426876784648

Perry the Canon Nihilist @sillyrookie_art Aug 7, 2019: "Guile and Rose are literally Stroheim and Lisa Lisa from Jojo part 2. They did this alot."

Lisa Lisa, and then came Rose. But seems to be Dr. Who's Tom Baker version had the long scarf first, ah ha!: 

SFV Bison's Knees

M. Bison aka Dictator and his knee and kneeling powers... not to mention open palms and crossed arms are often indicated.

Ow:

Knee attack, or hates shotos so much he mimics a dog peeing on pitiful Ryu?:

Double Knee Press is strangely, not a knee attack: 

 

Ah, the Psycho Kneeling Powers... impressed on the enemy or done by the Dictator himself:

Knees to chest, get ready for it:

And one more funny knees to chest view from Devilhorse:

And he's got a lot of open palms and superman flying moves:

He's still flying, technically.

Great old anime style cartoon movies that I love and more

 https://www.xplainthexmen.com/2020/08/hawk-talk-video-renaissance/

quote 

"Ooh, ooh, I get to do my Count Zero Contextualizes Stuff through Anime Thing for a Hawk Talk.

So, a lot of these Ranken-Bass cell animated projects – Flight of Dragons, The Hobbit & Return of the King, and The Last Unicorn were all animated by Studio Topcraft. If that name sounds familiar, they also animated Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind. When Topcraft went bankrupt, the staff basically either went with Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki to Studio Ghibli, with Hideaki Anno to help Daicon Film on their project Royal Space Force: Wings of Honnêamise (and some later going on to GAINAX).

The rest went on to a new company called Pacific Animation Corporation, which got bought by Disney, dissolved in the early 2000s, with everyone then starting a third company called The Answer Studio where they’ve been working on DC Animated projects."

"Oh, and one other thing – the character designer for the Ranken Bass Hobbit movies (and IIRC Flight of Dragons), would go on to do character design work for Record of Lodoss War, and is basically responsible for Anime Elves having such super long and pointy ears."
