It’s only been a few weeks since Akuma joined the roster of Street Fighter 6, but Year 2 is just a few days away, with returning villain M. Bison available from 26th June. Narratively, it looks like the infamous villain is either some kind of clone or amnesiac – either way, he’s riding a horse and packing some pretty familiar looking moves.
Don’t worry if you prefer the old look of M. Bison, as it looks like his traditional red garb will be available as an unlockable costume. “As a series staple, M. Bison fans should feel comfortable with his move set even if he now has both charged and motion inputs,” a post from Capcom explains. “With quick wits and a big grin, his pressure game is unmatched against grounded opponents. Psycho Power still courses through his veins as do iconic moves like Psycho Crusher and Double Knee Press.”

They added two SNK characters before they added my man Sagat.
WTF Capcom
Been holding off buying SF6 for a while but this announcement has just sold me, my main character is SFV was Bison this is Epic.
most of the new designs of old characters are cringe in this game & too over the top . i’m glad they add classic skins
As usual, Bipson looks cheap as hell. Fighting him will be a nightmare.
He sure looks like Bison all right. I must say the more I sit on it the more I'm a bit underwhelmed by season 2. Still love the game of course but only four characters again? I was hoping we could bump that up to at least 5 or 6 this time around and none of the four really interest me much at all.
I'm probably still going to get it as it's still one of my mainstay games on PS5 and I'll at least enjoy their arcade runs but I'm really hoping season 3 brings it a bit more.
@Korgon Yeah I would have liked 5 or 6 but with how the fighters are added into the single player mode it probably takes more work. Hopefully content comes along that gets you excited.
@AdamNovice
I am surprised that they have continued to add them into World Tour mode as I bet your right as to that being the reason for it only being 4. They must have data suggesting people are still playing that mode. I'd personally be fine with them dropping support for that mode if it meant more characters but hey if people are still enjoying it who am I to take away people's fun?
And who knows maybe I'll like one of the four more when I get the chance to play as them.
Gonna miss old man cray cray Bison/Vega/Dictator but hobo steroid horse boy looks like a PITA as usual.
@Korgon Yeah 5 or 6 characters /season sounds nice. But i personally don't mind 4 characters /season considering all SF 6 characters including season 1 DLC have high quality animations and model, unlike SF V DLC's which is a mixed of bag.
But what makes me dissapointed for season 2 is 2 from 4 slots "wasted" for guest characters from SNK when those slots should be for SF legacy characters. If i want to play Terry and Mai then i could just boot up Fatal Fury, KOF, or CvS 2. But i guess someone at Capcom have a deal with SNK to promotes Garou CotW.
I know Bison is a classic and all, and I'm not surprised he's back but he should have stayed dead. I rather have Gill and/or Urien in his place instead (as far as villians goes).
Bison: My body is ready.
@Coolmusic I’d love Sean or Boxer personally. Loved playing as them.
@Yousef- : Yeah Sean deserves a second chance to return, he is cool, and so is Boxer (though I prefer Dudley myself).
@Coolmusic I think Dudley would be a fantastic addition. He’s like Boxer but with commands instead of charging. And swaggiest man alive (can’t get more swag than driving classic cars with boxing gloves!! And tea too!)
I’ve always heard that Street Fighter was influenced by Fist of the North Star. With Bison with the horse is such a Raoh move, I love it.
No Ibuki, no Li-Fen, no Poison (sigh) 😭
Sagat please!
