  1. RadioactiveSpoon's Primer on Cartoon Bison
  2. -----------------------------------------------------------
  3.  
  4. So you're watching the Street Fighter cartoon. Be ready, it's an experience.
  5.  
  6. Main differences from OG Bison - This Bison has a lot more fun with things. His schemes are less 'violent warlord' and more 'crazy saturday morning cartoon villain'. Near the end he goes crazy and starts worshipping a statue of the goddess Kali, for some reason.
  7.  
  8. Also note that this version of the character has 'magnetic chi' powers alongside his Psycho Power. This is never explained, appears to be almost entirely identical to Psycho Power in usage, and is rarely specified when used, so you can honestly just ignore it unless you've got some specific magnet-themed moment in mind for a write-up.
  9.  
  10. The whole cartoon can be found on YouTube pretty easy. Here's a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTLP-p6a1SEPXfKtkDEfBL2nM9kZ97jpb

  14. Recommended Bison Episodes:
  15.  
  16. If you just want the quickest run just watch these ones.
  17.  
  18. ------------
  19. Season 1
  20. ------------
  21.  
  22. - Episode 1 - 'The Adventure Begins'
  23.  
  24. Bison steals a deadly virus for crime reasons. His first appearance, so it's the obvious starting point.
  25.  
  26. - Episode 7 -'Dark Heart'
  27.  
  28. Bison redirects a comet with his brain to sink America. Probably the best example of a crazy Bison scheme, so it's a good one for characterisation stuff.
  29.  
  30. - Episode 8 - 'The Medium is the Message'
  31.  
  32. Bison uses Balrog the boxer, known hacker and computer expert who can use a keyboard while wearing boxing gloves, to make fake videos of Guile's team trashing a temple to make them look bad. Mostly included because it's the episode the 'Yes! Yes!' meme comes from, if I'm being honest.
  33.  
  34. - Episode 12 - 'Chunnel Vision'
  35.  
  36. Bison gets captured, but it turns out he planned to get captured so he could ransom the Channel Tunnel, which he has had lined with explosives. Bison spends most of the episode locked up talking to Cammy's team so it's an example of what his personality is like outside of combat.
  37.  
  38. - Episode 13 - 'Strange Bedfellows'
  39.  
  40. Bison and Guile team up to fight Akuma, who is some kind of teleporting chi-vampire for no adequately-explained reason. It's the first season's big final battle so it's a decent showing combat wise. This is the episode which a few of his better feats come from.
  41.  
  42. ------------
  43. Season 2
  44. ------------
  45.  
  46. - Episode 26 - 'Cammy Tell Me True'
  47.  
  48. The show's finale, with Bison having a couple climactic final battles, trying to set off a doomsday device, and finally being defeated in a way that makes literally no sense whatsoever - a fitting end for the utter mad lad he is, if we're being honest.

  75.  
  76. - Episode 15 - 'Cammy and the Bachelor'
  77.  
  78. Bison reveals that Cammy is a brainwashed sleeper agent, or something. Ends with Bison and Cammy riding off into the distance. Sets up what could be generously described as the season's plot.
  79.  
  80. - Episode 20 - 'Cammy Must Die!'
  81.  
  82. Bison sends Cammy to do stuff, but he's not onscreen for most of it. He beats up Guile at the end though.
  83.  
  84. - Episode 21 - 'The Flame and The Rose'
  85.  
  86. A psychic called Rose kidnaps Ken and Blanka and makes them fight because she thinks they're evil and she's apparently not good enough of a psychic to realise that she's gotten them confused with Bison somehow. Bison only really shows up once Rose figures out 'oh wait I was wrong my bad' and they all go track him down.
  87.  
  88. - Episode 22 - 'The Warrior King'
  89.  
  90. A character called the Warrior King, who is a crossover character jumping between cartoons on the USA network (he's also in the Mortal Kombat cartoon) shows up chasing a MAGIC SPACE BALL of MYSTERIOUS POWER. Bison finds it and uses it to control the weather and threaten the planet, because he felt like being a GI Joe villain that week. Has no relevance to the rest of the series, it's just a one off to handle this Warrior King dude.
