Since it seems we got a few bison players here maybe one of you can help me. I love bison, he is a perfect character for me. Only problem is anti airs. Cr H works ok for jump ins but he seems free to crossups. Ive tried Cr H, Jb mp, s lp, but nothing works. Please let me know so I can stop my friends from repeatedly crossing up and laughing at me

You can try his air target combo, if you're anticipating a jump. A more unconventional way to deal with jumping can be to whiff slide underneath your opponent.

Yes if you read a crossup attempt you have to air to air them or block.

Jump back jab works for pretty much every character to stop a cross up. Bison ca works too I believe.

It's all so very confusing.
I just want to point out that Rushdown has the unique ability to send me fight requests whenever A) Im about to run sets with someone else, or B) logging off.

Not duckin' ya homie, you just have the worst timing, lol.

Soon, you'll get this one-day, one hour Rashid.

Is Vega sat on in s.2 now? Just opening the discussion, I've only looked at his buttons compared to s1, and his buffs seem juicy. More advantage on his normals (with claw), more range on his aa's, increased the active frames on 3 of his normals like his s. Mp which is alco +4 now (wtf), crazy mobility... thoughts?

I think he's being overlooked, but I don't feel like he's secret top tier. His TC and RH still whiff on crouchers, no reversal, he lost his 3fer if I remember correctly. He's VERY meter reliant to get things moving. Unless I misunderstood it, it's gotten more difficult to.usr his Vskill.to get through fireballs without committing to the swipe.. and any anti fireball stuff getting worse in this season is going to be a bastard.. what with the Urien and Guile army's gearing up (I play Guile some and in slowly learning Urien so I'm just as scrubby)

He's still a super good character. I like how he has some combo options in claw stance now too. He has some nice left/right mix-ups for a bar and a good amount of trickery. He's also not played a ton so people don't know the MU. Stun buff off his Vtrigger is super nice.

I feel like Vega is the worst of the good characters, which is still a really good place to be, but then again, I could be wrong and he could end up super good or super mediocre.. last season I started out thinking he was knocking on the door of top tier, but after a while came to realize that he was just sitting in the middle somewhere.

Vega is a weird character in that on paper he has everything, but at least in season 1, that just didn't translate to reality like it should have.

But then again, s2 is looking interesting in that so many characters are good now. It almost feels like we are going to look at tiers like

S+ - this tier may not exist, but if it does, Urien is probably here by himself, maybe one other.
S - the big dogs
A+ - almost everyone who isn't in S
A - one or two who just don't do so well vs some.of the more common picks.

Obviously this is super early, but it just FEELS like most characters have really nice shit now and the tier gaps are much smaller than they were, and at least on paper, I don't see any characters that are just plain weak. It seems like almost everyone is good now, and the tiers come from just how good they are.

I'll be back 3ing
I might try Urien out and see if the games more fun using a top tier character. This time when I get a coutner-hit st.mp I get a 300 dmg double cr.hp combo instead of Juris 130 because you've been pushed away

I have a question about one of Bison's BnB combos. cr.LK~cr.LP~st.LK, seems to whiff every time. I don't know if this is just a season 2 thing, or if I'm just bad.

I've seens videos of people pulling this off. But they're all like from a frew months pre season 2.

I don't think that should work but if it does try doing it as a ch combo since counters have different pushback.

and you're STILL jumping to the defense of SFV? Really? Some things never change
Listen the game isn't perfect but you REALLY need to get over it man. There's been much MUCH worse. SFV is fine you're just trying to desperately cling to an idea that you have beaten over the head. What are you looking for when you complain about Juri? Seriously, what what do you get/expect when you do literally nothing but complain about one character possibly not being top tier?

Haven't played SFV in a hot minute. Might stream it later tonight/tomorrow. Who knows!
You main/use Bison, right? Can you link cr.LK~cr.LP~st.LK? I don't know what they changed to Bison in S2. But the S1 videos show that combo as being a thing, when even as a counter hit its not.

i dabble with him. Most i've gotten to link is Cr. Lk into Lp/Cr. Lp

If it wont link then it wont link.. SFV has super easy execution, so if you cant land it at all after a handfull of tries then chances are, its not a thing any more.
