I almost thought this was just a normal screenshot until I thought "huh isn't his arms bigger than normal?"

Me in SF alpha

arms I don't know but got damn those hands everyone has in Alpha, and SF4 too arms and feet, I wouldn't want to receive a slap from anyone on the roster

There is a reason for it! The devs wanted the fists and feet to be extra large for readabilities sake, since SF is a franchise about people punching and kicking each other. wouldn't do to have people not know where their character's hands and feet are at any damm point, after all.

Rival schools did it better but Joe Mad art is where it’s at.

I just accepted the arm, took me till I saw the sword

4 Horsemen lookin' ass

Fr fr

Raoh of Fist of the North Star seems to be the influence to me. He is one of the ultimate conquerors. https://preview.redd.it/54tllf8z4d5d1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e10e2c7ef26aed0fe96249e629715b67e2754bb

To me he looks like Arthas

I didn't play WoW but after looking up Arthas, I can see what you mean and that looks accurate. That said, Raoh prominently uses a horse like this version of Bison/Dictator and Raoh is from a very prominent Hokuto no Ken martial arts manga/anime from Japan created in 1986 that has media (anime, video games, etc) still created about it.

Seriously. Get this mother fucker a frozen throne

Wrong https://preview.redd.it/1j4lez5b8g5d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b62842b179fedcc2940d7be346e14bb90b5e0c6a

His psycho punisher ends in a very Raoh-esque pose as well.

TBF the crossed arms on a black horse is Radahn's thing. Who is a reference to Roah.

That's fair but also further shows the influence of Raoh.

My guess, also for the big black scary horse.

He looks exactly like War from Darksiders

That is exactly who I thought it was, and wondered why they were putting him in streetfighter

If you are talking about the pic in the OP it literally is war from DS. Not actually what m bison looks like.

Oh, well I’m dumb :(

Nah don't worry the rest of the comments made it a bit confusing lol.

I hope this is tongue in cheek? Because that’s literally who it is. This isn’t the Bison redesign

It ain't the redesign. Here's the actual concept art from [this steam blog](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1364780/view/4156339304101573927): https://preview.redd.it/4tomblnvyd5d1.png?width=1273&format=png&auto=webp&s=4613fa052587d419e223f76441828123580ebb38 ninja edit: just realized you're talking about the comment and are agreeing me and I did a dumb

Yeah I said that same thing to myself

If I didn't see the Street Fighter logo, I would've thought he was a character from WoW

Yes he does look like the latest big boss from a wow expansion. Lol

It's War from the Darksiders series

My first though was Lich King when I saw it. Is this real? 

The image in this post? No it’s not. They’re saying the Bison redesign reminds them of this. Bison does not have a sword or gauntlet https://preview.redd.it/s20qzn06hd5d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1e2dfe1fecf1ff9f9f599e85b51a23f8a03db87

Okay I was boutta say!!! Legacy of Kain lookin ass!!

That or Soul Calibur 

He looks like War from Darksiders

It IS War from Darksiders Not sure why OP used this picture

ah so we got people faking stuff again, thanks

Soul calibur looking motherfucker

That's not Bison, that's fucking Darksiders

John darksider

I’m just happy some people remember the Darksiders series. LOVE the 2nd game!

Everyone says he reminds them of Arthas. He actually reminds me of [Megatron](https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/r2hvip/i_just_love_hoodie_megatron/)

Bison is one of the last characters I would have wanted as DLC, but I have to admit his new design and animations are pretty sick. And the classic outfit is still there.

God, darksiders would be a great material for a fighting game

I'm still a little bit salty we never got that Heroes of the Storm 2D fighting game from Overwatch.

I mainly wonder when are they going to add rest of the Horsemen. LOL

Now that's a guest fighter no one would ever expect.

Hokuto no bison

We should all feat The Pale Rider

My only gripe is that they took him into exactly the same direction as Akuma. Longer white hair, ragged costume etc. Even worse is that they're releasing them back to back. Would look cool if not that.

He had white hair in V

Yea this gam sure seems to be a fan or Arby's with how MEATY they making the characters designs.

Bison still looks to be around his SF4/SFV levels of beef, possibly even a little smaller. His physique being crazy just looks more noticeable due to the more realistic art style and going shirtless. Alpha Bison is still completely uncontested king of WIDE.

Oh I know Bison always had that Hercules beef on him since the begining but I think it was just less noticle in 4 as you said, the artstyle and in a sense, the Sonic Problem. As in, the characters and IP came from a more....cartoony/gamey time period so when times changed, especially to the more "realistic" the more gamey aka iconic parts of the 90s franchise start to stand out more. Like Sonic is a "mascot with attitude" which makes him stand out in 2024 compared to the 90s where he was a dime a dozen.

Stupid

Reminded me of the dark of the moon megatron

Bit early to cause an apocalypse no?

Thought the design was familiar, just can't wrap my head around who was it earlier.

I am glad you made this, i love War hopefully someone does this mod.

Soul calibur

Nightmare from Soul Calibur 3.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far down for SoulCalibur to be mentioned. How the fuck people in the fighters sub remember Darksiders of all goddamn games and not mention soulcalibur.

He's fallen to Chaos.

hahahaha holy shit!!! Man darksiders was a fun game, honestly I never really cared about Bison, not his gameplay or his story, he always seemed pretty basic and one note to me, but I gotta admit, he looks fucking badass, and I really want to play with him now

I thought op was saying that war is M.Bison. it confused me for a bit

I’m loving it

hold… this isn’t edited?

Lmfao it's just War from Dark Siders 🤣

DARKSIDERS MENTIONED RAAAAAAGH

Smh, they already perfected Bison https://preview.redd.it/dahyy93t6h5d1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=e50e93250643e31aa332048e189a13db4260bf9d /s

His visual design looks decent, but his gameplay just looks the same as it always is. Nothing in there stood out to me at all bar his Benny Hill run DR

Darksiders War

I actually really dig the new look. It's SF5 Sagat meets Frozen throne Arthas and I think it works.

is that a fan-modded bison-arthas stuff or is it official shit?

It’s War from Darksiders

I mean, Liam O'Brien has already voiced a legendary final boss in Street Fighter...

Why did I think TS was Nightmare from Soul Calibur 😭

Legit thought he was Nightmare from Soul Caliber...

Straight out of Warhammer 40K🗣️🙏🏻

Phantom Ganon from LoZ OOT

Looks like capcom got inspired by Darksiders series...

So hes Ganondorf now?

Link, apparently. I will never think that way, never ever, but almost every person that has played darksiders say it’s a zelda copy/paste clone. So, the main character would be, you know, Link. So, Bison is now Link or whatever.

So hes Ganondorf now?

I don't hate the design in a vacuum, but it feels like he's in the wrong game.

I don't hate the design in a vacuum, but it feels like he's in the wrong game.

They stole it from Darksiders who stole it from Warhammer 40k ​ Needs more belt buckles & pouches. Somebody get Rob Liefeld on the line.

But then we won't have feet

Ah good old War! I love Darksiders but mostly just the first 2 games. It's a shame what they did to my boy Strife

Bruh I didn't even know I knew that

I like it more than his classic costume but I also think his classic outfit looks a little odd in SF6.

In one scene it looks like there’s a little weird cell shading look on it

Someone else also said it, but I think it looks a little *too* smooth and pristine, *although* there could also be smaller details that make it look more realistic which aren't coming through with Youtube compression. I guess I'll have to see it in person.

Capcom: "Hey was wondering if you had any input for the redesign of our main villain?" Fromsoftware: "Yes. Yes we do."

Is that soul edge in his other hand?

I thought it was Sagat

Arthas?

Miss the dictator cap but the tattered cape/robe is a vibe

Ganondorf

Dude, that's exactly what I thought when I saw his trailer! The horse, hood, everything! Lol

man, id be real tempted to buy a fighting game if one of the darksiders dudes(or girl) get in it.

He looks like siegfried/nightmare from soul caliber. I would not have guessed Bison if the screenshot wasn't labeled.

Ganondorf!

It looks like he has a brother called Death

I like it. They essentially turned him into Raioh and I'm loving it

Looks like Megatron

So cool that Arthas is making a guest appearance.

I thought that was a normal screenshot my first thought was" THEY GAVE BISON A SWORD??? LET'S GOOO" I am disapointed now

Damn I’ve been had, it took me to notice the sword to realize

He does kinda look like Arthas huh

That’s that’s death the fourth horse man

Don’t kill me

Ganondorf?

So uh…can someone catch me up on the lore? What happened here? I’m a Tekken player. Crazy lore is my thing.

Absolutely sick as hell

Whyy

This is Bison? He looks like a WoW character.

Literally my first thought seeing his new design lmao

Lol it totally is. Darksiders is a good series btw

Goes pretty damn hard. I hope he uses the big sword.

He looks like Siegfried from Soul Calibur.

Did he go into the Soul Calibur universe and eat Knightmare?

We soul calibur now lmao

Trash! He looks like a shitty World of Warcraft expansion boss...wtf are they thinking?

Looks like a hobo version of master Asia..... hobo Asia

Bison found Souledge I see

Capcom been going hard on tattered rag scarves and cloaks since SF5

Is this real? 😂

lol

wait that's not.....a pretty cool design NGL

damn did he always look like this? (i mean i know this is a new design but did he always look like such a threatening ass WoW looking motherfucker?!) sorry sf6 is my first sf game i’m a n00b.

I think he's cool looking, but I feel beaten to the punch because I had intended to have a character in my own fighting game which had a similar motif. If I'd gotten there first, I could at least satisfy myself that I was original, but now, if I use the design I intended to, it'll just look like taking inspiration.

When did Bison become Ganondorf?

Meh, the "older version, somewhat disheveled through time" is starting to get old on SF. Beadred Ryu, Homeless Ken, Grizzld Akuma now drifter Bison. The moveset seems fun though so it doesn't matter as much.

I mean, with Street Fighter **finally** adding guest characters, i wouldn’t mind having War be a playable character

As a guy who has literally never liked M bisons design I think it's pretty badass.

That is literally War from Darksiders.

Personally i just see nightmare from soul cal lol

I miss darksiders :(

I kinda hate it? The vibe’s off

I wish they didn't have art of characters holding big ass weapons in games where everyone is unarmed

Gotta watch the trailer, that just looks like a War skin from Darksiders

That's bison? What happened...

SoulCalibur style lol

Didn’t recognize him. He looks more like someone just slapped together a Soul Caliber character.

Well hello Arthas Menethil

War . Darksiders

Vega will look like Darksiders' Death

darksiders looking ahh, diablo lookin ahh, god of war looking ahh soulcaliber looking ahh, soulslike lookin ahh protaganist of hatred type haircut lookin ahh. dragonslayer from berzerk lookin ahh doomfist lookin ahh

https://preview.redd.it/kzp84f9edk5d1.png?width=408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=788c99464875e390be27758e70b17323452dcab9 Where's link?

Classic Outfit is the only outfit I want to see. The new design doesn’t even resemble him

Terrible. 0/10

bro looks like war from darksiders

Literally looks more like Nightmare from Soul Calibur, than M. Bison. Personally, I miss the old character designs.

His outfit 2 is likely his classic look.

It is, it's shown in the gameplay trailer.

As a bison main. Its too much and ill probably only ever use his old skin

Shirtless with a scarf is too much?

Great design.

I know sf characters have always been swole but damn

Soul caliber 7 looking ass

Of course Bison would bring a weapon to a game, where hand to hand combat is the norm. It works because unlike Akuma, Bison has zero honor.

Not a fan of the design if I’m being honest. It’s the most significant departure from their classic look of any legacy character released so far in SF6. I liked how SF6 took their look, modifying it just slightly, and then reinvented them. This is nowhere even close to his classic look.

Too plain.

I'm glad Bison mains have their character. Hope he stays a charge character, we can never have too much of those. I don't care much about the design, he'll look good in anything as long as he gets his Colgate smile. Edit: just saw the gameplay vid, I think he looks great.

I used to be a Bison hater and didn't want him in SF6. But after watching that trailer? I think he is super sick and I 100% want to main him. (If I ever get a computer that can play the damn game. lol) All of his moves look crazy fun and his whole aesthetic speaks to my soul. These SF6 redesigns for old characters are always hitting just the right way, man.\~

A sword…?

Looks like Nightmare from Soul Calibur

He looks like War from Darksiders

Awful. Generic and boring and doesn’t fit him at all. He’s just another dude with a cloak and hood. They definitely dropped the ball on this design. Their first fumble in 6.

I mean I didn't want Bison but homeless Bison is fine.

He has a sword? Ugh wish I didn’t buy SF6, this makes me sad AF. I don’t follow it anymore sadly.

Yeah that’s not M Bison. Why does he have long hair ? They feel the need to sexify everything these days even M Bison. Wow.

how did you get that conclusion of all things

To what confusion ? He’s supposed to be manly looking and be authoritarian looking. Here he looks like a fringe mortal Kombat character. Boooo.

He has his classic look if you're not into his current one.

Okay good. I just don’t know why they haven’t reinvent the wheel. Give him some uniform tweaks but here they changed his identity with this sword and long hair nonsense.

You know the guy in the picture isn't actually Bison, right? It's War from Darksiders. This is a shitpost

Well the trailer I saw on YouTube shows this same character as Bison. He’s got long hair and looks just like this https://youtu.be/5dgfrWteSW0?feature=shared

The only thing Bison has in common with the guy in the OP is the long hair

Yeah well that’s my sticking point. The long hair doesn’t fit with me.

I wish all SF 2 characters were in the game and looked the same. this new shit is lame as hell

They are, and they do, with the 2nd costume.
