SFO Archive Forums - How to beat shin m. bison - Sorry guys, only how to with e. ryu

Ladies and gentlemen, The last five is finnally on us. Bison has come and gotten his 5 warriors with him. I'm sure VIPs will enjoy that Shin Bison and his copy of the raging demon.

Anyway this is here because some ofus just can't beat Bison and his "lingering" helper. I'm not of those however I have beaten him. How? Well then...

((First of all this assumes you're using Ryu[or in this case E. Ryu]. If you're not using him, please go away.))

As you knowbison regenerates health. So you'll have to act as quick as possible. He also gets his hypers real fast, more of a reason so you act fast. On the bright side you'll be in your sweet rage form for this fight.
Bison, however follows an easy pattern:
Whenever he jumps he will either do that diving attack or do a phycho crusher in the air. Most likely he'll dive. In this case you should block or dash forward/backward.
Should he psycho crush, just stay in the ground and watch him fly. Do a couple of punches/kick/hadoukens to get your hyper bar up.
Bison tends to Psycho crush A LOT. Isn't there a way to counter this? It's time for the Tenma Gou Zankuu!
Heck, you should just build your bars for that. Load up one level and when he Psycho crushes LET THEM FLY. He's gonna be feeling that in the morning.

What? His helper? Omega red? Bah, don't worry about him. If you did it correctly, Omega red will try and try and will never get you. Until you fall that is, but that happens rarely anyway.

So Tenma gou zankuu when he psycho crushes in the ground. Got that written down? Erase that. You should Tenma-gou Zankuu anytime you have a hyper for it. Why? Bison forgets to block. Yep, he's got amnesia folks. When you SHOULDN'T do it? When he's teleporting, or when he's in the air. And even if he does block, chances are he'll phsycho crush and get hit by them anyway.

His second hyper where he rolls in mid-air while having an energy shield is more rare, but can be annoying at times. It's hard to avoid since he usually does it as you wail on him. Anyway You have Dr. Doom as your helper for this fight, regardless of your starting helper. Doom will help cover this one, so call him when you're stuck in this. Sure you only get 3 of him, but it's for the best. Should you escape it, use it to build your hyper, don't Shinkuu Hadouken. Bison can't do nothing to you .

And finally there's his RD. Bison will stand for some time and then teleport with a massive psycho crusher. It is also the most pathetic RD ever. No seriously, when you see him standing around doing nothing, but smile with open arms, hadouken him. That's it.

Another thing. GO CHEAP! Use light punches and kicks(I recommend crouching light kicks) This isn't some human, it's a CPU! HE WON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU GO CHEAP ON HIM!

One last thing. Don't give up, you made it this far. It'll take some tries, but you'll do it...hopefully. Practice makes perfection.

Hopefully this helps you defeat Shin M. Bison and make you stop complaining that he's too cheap.

And for you non-believers out there....
