Once you figure out when to hit a button, Bison loses a lot of his bite outside of trying to tick throw it up. And the average Bison can't deal with being on defense at all. Most of them just slang another scissor kick and try to restart the vortex dipsy doo. For that reason, he's hella dangerous until you get up to a certain level. The better tourney cats ain't sweating that. They get in where they fit in. They do damage. And then the old man dies before the player can 'learn'/adjust.

I'm REALLY interested to see how the new characters fit into this cast. The damage is so serious for most folks.

Charlie (last name Nash) is something to deal with forreal. We've been speaking on his reach and ability to do damage from everywhere since them betas.
