M. Bison is the would-be dictator of the world. His ambition is to take over the biggest governments in the world by planting members of his underground crime syndication, Shadowloo, in important law enforcement positions. Shadowloo is into everything, from drugs to weapon trafficking to money laundering and forgery. When he learns about the competitions that have been sponsored by Geese Howard, he is intrigued at the thought of a potential partner in crime, and someone he can use to help locate powerful fighters fit for joining his Shadowloo army. M. Bison wields a power that he refers to as Psycho Power, to launch devastatingly painful attacks at his opponents.
While Extra M. Bison plays very closely to his Super Street Fighter II Turbo version, Normal M. Bison is a more of an original design. He possesses a few moves that are unique to Capcom vs. SNK, like Psycho Vanish which cancels projectiles, and Psycho Impact which is a rushing punch attack. When both forms are fused in Capcom vs. SNK 2, he keeps the Psycho Vanish attack, but trades Psycho Impact for his traditional Psycho Crusher.
Pro version changes[edit]
- M. Bison has an improved and faster universal roll with quicker recovery.
- The Somersault Skull Diver has more horizontal movement; after pressing any punch in mid air you can retreat quite a distance with his arms stretched out.
- Extra M. Bison recovers faster from the Psycho Crusher move.
- Extra M. Bison's Devil Reverse now hits in front of your opponent instead of behind.
- If blocked, the delay of the
Double Knee Press has been increased. - If his Level 3 Knee Press Nightmare Super Combo is blocked, the final three hits don't conncect, allowing the opponent time to retaliate with a projectile or Super Combo on the rebound.
- Slighly less delay on a blocked
version of his 2 hit Psycho Impact. M. Bison bounces back slightly after both hits connect if performed correctly.
