About

M. Bison is a powerful boss and playable character who utilizes Psycho Power in fighting games such as Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Street Fighter II, and Street Fighter Alpha 2. He serves as a major antagonist across the Street Fighter and Street Fighter Alpha franchises, as well as crossover titles like X-Men vs. Street Fighter. His gameplay typically features charge-based special moves, teleportation, and aggressive slide attacks.

Originally introduced to international audiences in the early 1990s, this character's narrative legacy is defined by his role as the tyrannical leader of the Shadaloo criminal syndicate. In the localized Western releases of the Street Fighter franchise, his name was famously swapped with the claw-wielding Vega to avoid legal issues regarding likeness rights.

Players experienced his evolving narrative and mechanical design through key releases in the Super Street Fighter and Street Fighter Alpha series. He served as a central figure in Street Fighter II Turbo (1993) and Super Street Fighter II (1994), before his origins were explored further in Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996). The character's reach expanded into compilation and 3D spin-off titles, including Street Fighter II (1995), Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha [Fighter's Edge] (1997), and the Street Fighter Collection (1997) compilation. His crossover appeal was cemented in X-men vs Street Fighter (1998), where he represented Capcom's premier martial arts universe against Marvel's mutants. Throughout these appearances, his iconic military attire and oppressive stage presence established him as a cornerstone of competitive fighting game history.
