Just when you think Street Fighter 6’s success story can’t get any better, a new fighter comes to save the day (and the player’s interest in the game). This time, M. Bison was the one who broke the records. His gameplay trailer has over a million views in just two days—and for good reason.
Fans were surprised to see their favorite villain return to the franchise. Some weren’t sure if this was a good thing, as JP proved to be a great villain. But instead of wasting M. Bison as some form of redundant heel, he came back with a twist. Well, with amnesia, to be more precise. That’s why you see him looking nothing like the domineering dictator everyone feared. But maybe he forgot who he is, but we remember!
As seen in a trailer, M. Bison now likes horses and raw hoodies. While he may have forgotten his dress code, he certainly didn’t forget to fight. He still uses powerful kicks and charged attacks, but is that enough to convince the fan base that his comeback is valid?
Interestingly, the community was divided on the importance of the arrival of the Bison. Some criticized his appearance, calling him Meth Bison, but this only confirms that his return to the franchise was a great decision. Capcom knows that Street Fighter 2 and its OG fighters are legends that will always turn heads. The incredible millions of views for the big-bad-Bison trailer confirm that he is still the most famous villain of the series.
Street Fighter 6 is doing everything it can to keep the title of the best SF title aside from Street Fighter 2 (sorry, that’s a lock). M. Bison will come to SF6 on June 24, 2024, followed by Terry in fall 2024, Mai in winter 2025, and Elena in spring 2025.
