Just got back to playing last week and picked up Bison as an old main, think he's the most fun to play he's ever been for me. Thanks for the great guide.
Just what I needed after deciding to pick up Bison. I was pretty used to Akuma's free flowing buttons and normals so I was kinda struggling with Bison. This helped me on what buttons actually work with Bison and how to keep pressure. Thanks!
@@Chris_F I actually used to hate charge characters, mainly because I couldnt wrap my head around them in sf5, but I didn't take sf5 seriously back then since I was just waiting for sf6 so I can actually start from scratch with everyone else. Played Guile day 1 and never looked back.
This is the best guide ever. Proper explaining on how to play and open the guard. Gives me a real plan on how to play. Everything is easy to understand. A big thank you !
Love how your guides are short and sweet. The combos at the end are a life saver. I feel like I can jump straight into training mode and start practicing. Thanks for your hard work and help!!!!
Thank you so much for the guide! I'm new to FGC, 6 is my first Street Fighter game. I initially picked Ken as main and started from Rookie as expected. Been stuck in Bronze 1 for quite some time and last week finally got Bronze 2. Decided to learn "the right way" and this time main Bison. After taking placement matches last night I got Bronze 2. People say Bison is broken but I say I have improved haha
For those used to this format hope this helps.... I couldnt get last one down. last combo doesnt look like it started with OD psycho to me.... maybe 2MP... but alas 2LP - 2LP - 5LK - 236LK 5MP - 2MP - 236MK 5MP - 2MP - 214MP 2MP - 236KK - 214HP - / DR - 5HP 2MK - DR - 5MP - 2HP - 46HP - 236236P 2LP - 2LP - 5LK - 214LP - 66 - Leaves you +2 2MP - 236KK - 6HP - 214LP - 66 - Leave you +5
I hit Diamond rank with Bison after my first time doing placement matches in SF6. That was before seeing this guide and yeah the points work. Would recommend ending combos in Backfist to set up the Psycho Mine often.
@Chris_F Aye its without a doubt way better than released. However Drag/heat engaging power crushs are too strong. Would definitely recommend tekken now and the direction the game is going in is now way better
I've been playing Street Fighter 6 for 7 months, I'm a master and I still hadn't understood the frame data, thanks now I'm going to play better, I just need a little more practice
Great video. Also am I crazy for not being able to land DR HP after MP backfist? It doesn't beat 4 frames if the opponent back recovers in my training or in this video (he lands it as a punish counter). I'm currently experimenting with DR crMK or DR back HK both beat 4 frames but they leave you super far from the opponent.
Actually, the one he doesn't recommend is what works. LP backfist followed by DR HP on a back recovery 4 frame lands a punish counter almost automatically. That's actually huge for Bison since the most common opportunity players will have will be to combo into LP backfist.
What's the advantage of doing 2LP, 2LP, 5LK > L DKP over just doing 2LP, 2LP, 2LP > L DKP? To me that just seems to put a random link in there that makes the combo harder Also you mistimed your dash after L Backhand, you are +5 there (correct in the second clip)
From the hitboxes that seems to be correct. Though when just pressing the buttons at different spacings I can't find a spacing where 5LK hits but 5LP misses. On the contrary I actually found a spacing at which 3 2LP cancelled into each other hit, but replacing the last hit with 5LK misses. I recorded it here 75dNG6YvXs0 (put this into a youtube link. Idk if youtube deletes the comment with the full link)
@@Chris_F I just tried it. At the recorded spacing both miss. Though if I take a step closer, at point blank, linking in 5LK hits with 3x 2LP missing. Though there is a 5f gap there. I guess technically it would then be correct to just react to the jabs being blocked and then adding the 5LK. I absolutely understand the reasoning though that it would be just more optimal to just always default to 2LP, 2LP, 5LK. Especially with how precise the spacing is where 5LK hits but 2LP misses and that 5LK hits on block and hit if you are point blank. Keep up the great work, you really raise the bar when it comes to guides!
The oki from dr hp after planting bomb doesn’t seem to work if they attack while recovering in place. You can try it by having ryu wake up with a cLP w/ wake up in place on. If they recover backwards it does work though.
Thanks for the guide! Will you be doing a guide on how to counter M Bison as well? His scissor kicks and strike/throw mix seem pretty oppressive, but it's probably just a lack of matchup knowledge at this point.
Guys, any tip on cr mp into psycho crusher? I'm on hitbox and I tried to release down first then press forward it feels unnatural. In the video I see you can get away with just fireball input, but i can't consistently do it. Any tip on the timing?
@@erichan7926 don't release down at all just let go of back and press forward with your first finger and punch together. pretty sure the game will give you psycho crusher with a down forward input. Also it feels to me the charge time is a little longer than usual but that could just be me
Im on leverless too but here's what I do: I input st mp by using the SOCD method, I push downback+jump+mp and I never let go of downback. This lets me get charge as soon as possible. Then I roll to downforward+P.
@@Chris_F hey thx for the reply. but im doing crmp into headbutt, not st mp. problem is roll to downforward takes me more than 7 frames and the charge is lost.
@@Chris_F still can’t quite nail it but I’m working on it. The half circle forward I can get but the QCF just doesn’t seem to register. Maybe I’m doing it too early/late.
Question would you consider M Bison better than Chun Li? I am considering changing characters to M Bison but I want to make sure this is the character that can get me to master. I tried getting Chun to master but she just isn’t good enough of a character to get up to master sadly
Every character is good enough to get to master. Some characters are easier to get to master than others, and chun-li has some difficult setups and conversions that some intermediate players struggle with. M. Bison has a much simpler gameplan than Chun and has higher damage output too, but his anti-air game is significantly worse than hers. Hope that helps!
@@Chris_F well I’d not even anti air with Chun so that’s perfect lol. Personally I just need a character that will get me to master and I feel Bison is my man for the job haha. Maybe someday when Capcom can show some love for Chun she can get me to master too when they decide to make her easier to play haha. In the meantime I’ll study your video to master Bison. 💪
I'm an orphan SFV Alex player, so I've been struggling with Honda so far in SF6... But now Bison gave me a new reason to enjoy the game again hehe. Really liking the playstyle, which is different from what it was in SF5. Now he really gives me some Alex vibes, while being stronger altogether.
First proper guide instead of a combo dump, great vid
thanks!

@@Chris_F Yup, playing Guile before Akuma came out actually helped in the long run, charge characters are pretty fun!
I love both these characters in this game so much

I love the fact this video is straight to the point. Thank you
That’s my whole approach to all my videos!
Thank you for your guide. This is a really good one that new players need and not only a combos dump. Congratulations and thank your for your work!
You're very welcome! I’m so glad you like my format
Thank you, your guide is definitely gonna help me out. If anyone thinks your voice is annoying perhaps they’re on the wrong channel.👊🏾
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I meant more like, listening to someone talk over combos is probably annoying since you’ll be hitting rewind often but thx!
@@Chris_F Of course I can’t speak for no one else, but it doesn’t bother me.👊🏾
Thanks for this, all the other videos i saw lacked on how you play him, whats his buttons and how you pressure keep up the great guides
Such a great guide! I always seem to look out for your videos when new characters drop
Thank you!!!
bro you are a gift to the fgc. thank you for your vids
My pleasure!
Thanks for the starter guide video! We need another video for bison bomb mixups to know how to open your opponents defense after the back fist move.
Thanks for watching! I think it’s going to take a little bit of time before we find the really good bomb setups
Awesome guide Chris, love your stuff and keep up the great work!
Thanks for that! I’ll def keep trying my best and thanks for watching as always!
Amazing guide this kind of structure is what the players NEED
Thank you, I think so too!
For those used to this format hope this helps....
I couldnt get last one down. last combo doesnt look like it started with OD psycho to me.... maybe 2MP... but alas
2LP - 2LP - 5LK - 236LK
5MP - 2MP - 236MK
5MP - 2MP - 214MP
2MP - 236KK - 214HP - / DR - 5HP
2MK - DR - 5MP - 2HP - 46HP - 236236P
2LP - 2LP - 5LK - 214LP - 66 - Leaves you +2
2MP - 236KK - 6HP - 214LP - 66 - Leave you +5
We can never be annoyed by your voiceAwesome video can't wait to implement these tips. Legend rank here we come
Haha thx!
Let me know if you get legend!
your guides helped me a lot with manon a long time ago, now you help me with bison thx
Glad I could help!
Excellent guide! Great work as always
Thx bro! Hope you been good!
Really out here helping us become Super Villains 😂
Bet
Awesome guide! I felt Bison sf6 version plays much different than sf5, and you thought me the actual game plan. Thanks a lot 🎉🎉
I thought bison was gonna be easy like 5... little did I know
Glad to help!!
@@Lazerbeam502 ikr. Almost disappointed but then I found this guide 😁
Just what I was looking for! Thank you! Great video!
Thx for watching, glad I could help!
thank you for continuing to bless us with awesome guides and content.
Glad you like them!
Really like the guide and format. Keep it up!
Thank you and I will!

Yh no body goes for psycho crusher really when they have psycho mine option.
God DAMN! Bison's fight music from Alpha 3 goes hard!
It’s a banger for sure
2:08 crouching medium kick actually has MORE range than crouching medium punch, but longer startup
Sick video. Just enough talking going over key info on situations and frame date. Topped off with quick run of combos at the end. The format is dope.
Thanks! I’ll be back with this same format when Mai and Elena drop
Great guide. Bison is very fun and strong
He really is!
This guide is a massive help for a player like myself who comes from tekken
I’m trying to get BACK into Tekken!
Glad I could help
@@Chris_F Thats good to hear! I've been competing in Scotland since 2017 and cant see myself not playing tekken when I can lol
How you liking 8? I think it’s much better now than when it released
@Chris_F Aye its without a doubt way better than released. However Drag/heat engaging power crushs are too strong. Would definitely recommend tekken now and the direction the game is going in is now way better
Personally having a blast with t8 when I'm not paired vs a King or Drag player lool
The GOAT himself, thanks for this, Chris.
No, thank YOU
This guide is exactly what i was looking for. Easy sub
Thanks for the sub!

To me that just seems to put a random link in there that makes the combo harder

5LK has more range, the third 2LP can whiff sometimes depending on spacing

On the contrary I actually found a spacing at which 3 2LP cancelled into each other hit, but replacing the last hit with 5LK misses. I recorded it here 75dNG6YvXs0 (put this into a youtube link. Idk if youtube deletes the comment with the full link)
@AtomToast did you try it on block? 5LK works on block pushback too and lets you do LK knee press for pressure
@@Chris_F I just tried it. At the recorded spacing both miss. Though if I take a step closer, at point blank, linking in 5LK hits with 3x 2LP missing. Though there is a 5f gap there. I guess technically it would then be correct to just react to the jabs being blocked and then adding the 5LK.

Do you have a Manon guide like this? It's actually super well executed, thanks!
Sorry, no I don’t but I’m glad you liked this one!
I was looking forward to seeing some wake up options mentioned in the guide as well.
Did my best with what I could in under 36h from release
@@Chris_F Appreciate the effort
Impressive, very nice. Let’s see the Bison counter guide :)
Knock him down and go ham haha
The oki from dr hp after planting bomb doesn’t seem to work if they attack while recovering in place. You can try it by having ryu wake up with a cLP w/ wake up in place on. If they recover backwards it does work though.
Sorry, just to note, this is putting the bomb on after a 5MP 2MP combo. Planting the bomb while juggling from OD DKP to HP Backfist does work.
I just included one vs backrise and I totally forgot to include regular rise! You’ll want to use B+HK vs regular rise
Great Guide! Easy to follow and solid for new into the game! Shooty!
Bison + Guile is all I ever wanted from this game
Thanks for the guide! Will you be doing a guide on how to counter M Bison as well? His scissor kicks and strike/throw mix seem pretty oppressive, but it's probably just a lack of matchup knowledge at this point.
I will, but I need a little break first bc I had to lab like a madman to get this guide out as soon as I did (under 36h from release!)

SIlly question, but when you say, "Bison's win condition is to get double combination in the corner", what exactly does that mean?
It means his most effective way to win
@@Chris_F Oh no, I get that part. I mean what is the double combination part? I should have been more clear.
Sorry but cr lp x2, st lk > L Backfist, dash forward does not come up as +2 but +5 for me. what's actually going on here?
Not sure exactly, maybe my dash timing was slow
Great guide my friend! Thank you! Im loving Bison's redesign in SF6. 💀⚡️
Me too, he’s pretty fun!
THANKS for the guide very informative, but is it better to play bison on leverless or arcade stick?
Doesn’t matter! Use what you like the most
@@Chris_F i'll try the hitbox and learn it. Thank you chris😁
Please help me understand how to charge PP in a combo I’m having so much trouble
Thank you for the guide!
💪🏻💪🏻
This is great video. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks for the work a lot of these are very helpful 🎉
You're very welcome!
I’m having all types of problems canceling psycho crusher into a LVL3 super (I can only do it on EX psycho crusher). Any tips are appreciated.
Do a half-circle forward for the first psycho crusher input followed by a qcf for the super cancel
@@Chris_F can’t wait to try this later. I’ll let you know how i fare. Thanks for responding. Always appreciate your videos.
@TrameerMynji let me know how it goes!
@@Chris_F still can’t quite nail it but I’m working on it. The half circle forward I can get but the QCF just doesn’t seem to register. Maybe I’m doing it too early/late.
@TrameerMynji medium and hard versions are easier to cancel into, light is a bit tighter
Scissor kick, scissor kick, and more scissor kick. All you really need ;)
After LP backfist you can continue pressure with LP Psycho Crusher, no?
Yes but it loses really badly to reversals
@@Chris_F True, I think with drive rush pressure you can bait reversals by ending the drive rush early with a whiffed jab
Yes you can

Thanks, I will!
Thank you for the guide. I find its absolutely shocking that you can link a jumping anti-air with a level 3
It’s insane!
Thx for watching
had to comment on this one, your voice is NOT annoying
Thank you!
I meant that it would get annoying to hear me talking over combos since most people rewind and replay a lot during these parts
Now the anti bison guide🎉
Lots to learn before I can post that but I’ll try!
love you guide from THAILAND
big love
Can you do an updated one since he got nerfed ?
He’s exactly the same even post nerf. His devils reverse is easier to AA and he does slightly less damage on his optimal combos, that’s it
Awesome video
Thanks!
Chris F is the prequel to Chris G?
I think I’m slightly older than him so technically yes
I wish terry would come out already
Oh yea this is great

Glad to hear the have is fun for you again!
This character is cool
4:01 I came for this Aki keeps beating cr.HP
His cr HP isn’t a perfect anti-air at certain ranges. Against Aki, you’ll have to focus more on psycho crusher and jump MM
