Bison does not have a new body,\u00a0devs reveal he is physically the same as in Street Fighter 5\u00a0\u00a0"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Street Fighter series\u2019 iconic antagonist M. Bison will be making a reappearance in <strong>Street Fighter 6<\/strong> on June 26. Considering the villain\u2019s final scene in SF5 and his body-swapping history, most fans presumed we would be seeing a new M. Bison copy in SF6. However, the director of Street Fighter 6 has recently revealed some interesting details about Bison\u2019s comeback that suggest otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Street Fighter 6 - M.

Bison is defeated by Ryu, and his body seems to disintegrate. In the recent SF6 announcement about M. Bison, he is described as an \u201camnesiac dictator\u201d in search of an identity. This has led fans to believe that M. Bison is inhabiting a new body after losing his past memories. However, SF6 director Takayuki Nakayama contradicted this in a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202406\/7728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>, saying, \u201cIf you play (Street Fighter 6\u2019s) arcade mode, you will see that Bison is the real Bison. He does not have a new body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32278.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32278.webp 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32278-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32278-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32278-600x338.webp 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nakayama goes on to explain that M Bison\u2019s victory pose includes a scene of him holding his cracked right hand, which is the same crack seen during his fight with Ryu at the end of SF5 (pictured above). In this sense, M Bison will be physically the same in the series\u2019 latest entry. However, he has lost his memories and even forgotten his name. In addition, the director notes that Bison is not the boss of SF6, as this role is assumed by JP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently, M Bison\u2019s appearance in SF6 was decided upon a long time ago, as Nakayama reveals the team started working on him as soon as they were done creating the initial 18-character lineup. His story will be intertwined with other Year 1 DLC characters such as Rashid, Akuma and A.K.I.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Street Fighter 6&#8217;s director says M.
