What better way to bring Bison Month to a close than with a video compilation of Bison's best scenes from the still-quite-rad Street Fighter II animated movie?

Apologies if this is the second time you've seen this. It's all bloody YouTube's fault. Speaking of which, does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable embedded video player? One that we could use to stream videos from our own servers? Lemme know.

BISON.

Yes it is BISON MONTH, the month with BISON in it.

Bison has a TWITTER. He likes to WRITE BISONIC THINGS.

In this episode, M.Bison goes on a round-the-world trip!

THE END.

Previous BISON COMIX are here, here, here, and here. If you'd like to contribute to BISON MONTH – with a comic or picture or whatever – then go here. (Seriously check out that thread, guys. There's hilarity afoot.)

In this episode, M.Bison gives Blanka some acting tips.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFINALLY!

Bison Month (?) continues with this thing I done.

Sometimes it is tough to be Bison.  

Being the world’s most powerful user of PSYCHO POWER is not all vanquished foes and secret mountain bases. There’s also the daily frustration of being surrounded by weaklings and maggots. There’re practical problems, like the fact that standard tax forms don’t come with a section for people whose soul is now an independent contractor. And of course, there’s the karate fighting do-gooders who come to kill you every couple of months.

Tiresome.

You would not like to be Bison. You could not be Bison. You do not have the enormous PSYCHO TESTICLES necessary to be Bison. If Bison’s essence were put into your body, your spine would promptly snap under the strain of such enormous spiritual weight. And if your essence were put in Bison’s body – ha! – it would be consumed, digested, and expelled immediately. Perhaps you can guess from where.

You see Bison and you see the power and the majesty and the expensive hats. But you do not see the isolation implied by those qualities.  You do not feel the burden of enormous metal pads upon your shoulders.

Know that these words are not intended to inspire pity. Bison does not want your pity any more than you want Bison to pull your intestines out through your rectum. These words are intended to inform and educate.

Thanks to mentally corrosive videogames, today’s children believe that learning to wield PSYCHO POWER is like learning how to ride a bicycle or break a man’s neck. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Performing a PSYCHO CRUSHER – even with weak punch – is an act requiring tremendous psychic effort. Sceptical? Try it yourself. All you need to do is burst into flame and fly across the room like a human torpedo, incinerating everything in your path.

Go ahead. Try it. Observe how well you do.

Not even a spark? Predictable.

You see now that generating PSYCHO POWER is not merely a matter of persistence and concentration. It is a feat of will so tremendous that even the gods would tremble to attempt it.

What must a man sacrifice to acquire such irresistible might?

What must he sacrifice to control it?

Until next time,
General M. Bison
