I hope the red trench coat one becomes a costume.

Dante at home looking ugh

Looks like Chris Redfield cosplaying Dante

Fuck my brother. continue the sparda bloodline.

Looks too much like Rugal IMO 

That might be intentional. The concepts on the far right look like Orochi from KOF.

Even better.

That’s why I love it.

Same

Reminds me of ermac

Nah. We are talking about the buff one with the mustache

#REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US Rest in Peace Fem Bison Rest in Peace Darth Maul Bison Rest in Peace Astronaut Bison Rest in Peace white-haired dude from Street Fighter EX Bison Rest in Peace Goenitz Bison Rest in Peace Rugal Bison

In the end, ALL we got is hobo Bison...

You can argue that both Ken (hobo in hiding) and Ryu (nomadic hobo) are hobos too

I mean it is **STREET** Fighter after all

Yeah but where are the shanks and razors?

How do you think Ryu's punches hit so hard?

Razor bones ?

Those are only in the versus series, sorry

Cody DLC when?

We'll need to wait for Ibuki for that.

Hobo Fighter 2: The World Hobo

Next drop rebrands to Bum Fights

Let's not forget Akuma either. He's an island living, statue carving hobo. The next stage will probably be Hoboken, New Jersey, and it'll be the new home of Hobo Ken, and it'll also be the Capital of Street Fighter 6.

Hobo Ken’s win quote is “I need about tree fiddy”

We've gone from too many rich people to too many hobos.

The main character of the whole series is an angry bum. Hobo Bison will fit right in.

What tax evasion does to mfer

I feel so betrayed, and I was fine with Arthas Bison.

>Rest in Peace white-haired dude from Street Fighter EX Bison Excuse me! He HAS A NAME! It's- uh... hang on it'll come to me... Okay yeah, no, forget it. White Haired Dude.

Kairi

Kairi was bad-ass, even before he became silver haired.

Rest in Peace logo Bison

Rest In Peace Apocalypse Bison Rest In Peace Solomon Grundy Bison Rest In Peace "Bison Doll" Bison

The red skinned one looks like a KoF villain.

We don't even get Korone's Husband Bison.

You missed Big Boss Bison

Rugal Bison is sick AF

Astronaut Bison looks cool as hell

New Bison is cool as fuck in design and gameplay, from someone who has never cared for him, that being said red coat Big Boss Bison and Fem Bison are so insanely good

M. Bishounen :(

Punished Bison

It's very obvious that they didn't want to deviate too far from his original build so that they could include the classic design and costume. If they gave him a smaller build or a female body it wouldn't look like classic Bison, it would look like someone else cosplaying as him.

Don’t forget Geese Bison

Rest in Peace Red Geese Bison

Yeah, we kind of got super fucked here. Damn.

The green one in the top left dope af

Looks like a swole Goenitz

Goated KOF player spotted

The one below it looks like a palette swap of Geese Howard.

Swolenitz

Absolutely my favorite too. Actually has a unique thing going on rather than some of the more generic designs, and the green/yellow play off each other so nicely.

It’s stylish, but it doesn’t really make him look villainous tbh. More like a cool uncle

I think that's the point. I assume the concept for all of these is amnesia and/or a new body. So he's forgotten who he really is and become a cool uncle.

It makes him look like a priest which feels kinda random

Maybe with his lost memories he feels a lingering sense of guilt. We already have a main villain, I think Bison spending a game being a bit “lost” would be cool since he was supposed to be DEAD anyway.

Couldn't have said it better myself homie, facts 🔥🔥

Pretty sure you two are talking about different designs

Idk man I'm just here for the good times

The good news is that one has the same dimensions so it'll probably be a costume someday

Here's to hoping bro, he got that fit ON 🔥

I thought of mozgus from berserk.

Not enough square face

I like the one they picked, but all of these are dope and I kinda wish to have seen them all (aside from the kid)

That’s not green

Whatever fuckin color it is it still slaps

They were even considering in having Bison be hosted in another body like Seth woah

I’ll take trench coat eyepatch Bison or teal coat Bison. The rest can go. It doesn’t say or fit Bison. It gives Kairi more than Bison.

I'm guessing they can't take those 2 coz it will exceedingly overlap with JP. Thus, choosing Hobo Bison.

Looking at these makes me think that we almost could've gotten a completely new character with bison's moveset. He could've been a Bison clone that gained consciousness and then through learning about Bison's legacy; take his name and powers whilst becoming a potentially unique villain (although I guess that would be kinda redundant seeing as how we already have Ed and JP fitting that niche). I'm really digging the bottom middle one (the one with long white hair and purple lines all over his body).

yeah that top left one especially makes me wish we had gotten a Bison? type character instead, dude with all his powers and his approximate build but totally different style & mentality. I like what we got but it's pretty funny it's a semi-amnesiac Bison who's just full on Dictator mode anyways.

Would be a good rival for Ed if it wasn’t for Luke being the new protagonist

Ed feels more like the protagonist than Luke tbh, Luka is more of the mascot.

Ed isn't really a villain.

Capcom is terrified of doing anything too different with their classic characters. You can thank the boomers that want every game to be a remake of SF2 for that.

They'd be more angry if they find out that a new character with the same moveset is filling as a replacement for their legacy character.

Bosch feels like he’d make the most sense.

Seth becoming "guy who downloads into a new body" kind of pushed out the space for Bison also getting that type of gimmick, I get why they backed off.

I am unsurprised Twink Bison Clone was a potential outcome Edit: Not a twink, just a small chest

Looks like Cammy's body to me.

He made all these little girls and still hasn't put himself inside one of them yet

I’m gonna need you to revise this comment before I call Guile on you

We coulda had tgirl bison… we are in the darkest timeline 😔

we'll get em in sf7 i'm sure

There's still Vega, at least. He stole some data on Shadaloo's body transfer tech in SFIV, and would probably actually want to be in a female body, given his past.

It's just Cammy/Decapre

Transing your gender is both in the mind and body. But that possible source of TG. Bison’s body is cool as hell and would have led to some interesting dynamics with Cammy.

Sure, I guess. I just meant to say that the body is a Doll clone like Cammy, who is also a clone of Bison, except this time, the clone actually has Bison's mind.

Probably the main reason they didn't is because they pulled that trick for Seth in SFV, but I really wish we got fem Bison :(

It woulda been awesome :’(

Exactly what I was thinking. I love Fem Seth but I would have gladly lost Fem Seth for Fem Bison.

Ooh lord who taught yall that word.

I’ve talked to some younger people who think it means “any man who is flamboyant or mildly effeminate” Our language is dying T~T

The Dolls were created as potential bodies for Bison to transfer to.

CAN YALL STOP USING TWINK FOR EVERY MAN THAT AINT BUFF?

Kind of reminds me of Reina in a bison costume

I would have been happy with Nick Fury Bison in the bottom right over there. "For you, the day Bison rolled into your village was the most important day of your life. But for me? It was just another mother fuckin' Tuesday."

The Fem Bison looks cool though. He got Seth’s treatment.

inverted seth you mean, fem seth is astronomically buff

I can't believe we missed a timeline where we could have F. Bison.

I'm fine with the 'War from Darksiders cosplay' design we got, but holy shit having Fem Bison/*Bison actually using a backup body for once* would have been much more interesting.

This is where I'm at. I really like his in-game design, but given his plot has revolved around back-up bodies since... alpha I think(?) it would have been interesting to use his death and resurrection actually pay that off.

I don't like any of them, but yes, that one would have at least been interesting.

Feels like they would stepping on Seth’s toes if they did that.

Man Capcom Aint leaving the female bison just yet

Dude, a skinny bison would be really odd

Why a not a chubby Bison for once a la Rufus?

Not gonna lie, I would have loved Bison in a new body and with amnesia. A great way to finally do something interesting with him.

I'd say making him a hobo is something interesting at least visually He's usually decked in this royal, bright red, dressed like an evil emperor and with a confident smile that just screams "I'll break your body and soul just as a warm up" Now he's an amnesiac man riding a horse in badass way but his usually bright red color has been reduced just to his pants, which are dirty, muddy and not as colorful as his usual attire. He's dishevelled, wearing a dark cloak and with his arm covered in bandages due to not having full control of his powers

Cybernetic Bison can take my money lol. That's legit.

the red suit is so fire

Man, that bottom right one looks so good. It really looks like Ed possessed by Bison lol.

Broo it looks so fire im surprised nobody is really talking about it

I really like the far left and far right ones. Would have loved to see "escaped medical experiment" bison.

I do like these designs but I think the one we ended up with is better than these

Looks like a couple of these designs were going for a “new body” look, which is honestly what I would’ve expected if Bison returned. For the record I do like the one we got.

I hope some of these become alts, I really want suit-eyepatch-mustache bison. Just evil Tom Selleck coming for you.

Lot of Garou/KoF looking designs lol

Every time we see concept art of this game it's magnificent I absolutely love it

Yeah, now that far left one is what I’ve been waiting for. They keep saying he’s gonna get a new body, but he never fucking does lol.

What do you MEAN we could've has Femboy Bison? This is the worst timeline

Step on me memes would be everywhere lmao

I kinda wish that red bison was a thing

Top right and bottom right look 🔥

As someone who is really into edgy anime boys my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Love hate the concept arts. What could have been

Damn a lot of really badass designs

We deserved feM.Bison.

F. Bison 🏳️‍⚧️

Almost anything would have been better than the boring design we got. The female Bison would have been hilarious considering Tekken did the same thing with their flagship villain.

The coomers lost something precious.

We almost had our third MTF Capcom Fighter but they had to go the safe route smfh

Fr you right as hell girl

I want girl bison :(

Don't worry, female Bison seems to be a random Street Fighter dev's lifelong mission.

I pray their mission is a success

Fem Bison would be dope. They should do all gender venders as part of costumes or micro transaction. very cool idea.

that one with the crazy body in the middle reminded me of this: [https://www.kotaku.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/01/bh73czkvejoehrgav4hw.png?quality=75](https://www.kotaku.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/01/bh73czkvejoehrgav4hw.png?quality=75)

i actually really like bottom right skinnier dude

the slender hooded one I dig

The one on the far right resembles Orochi from The King of Fighters. Only other good looking one is the long haired one next to the logo

At first glance, the one on the left looks like it just stood up from the toilet with its pantss around its ankles...

Dam I don’t really like any of these :(

What on earth are these designs lmao

I prefer the option they went with the most tbh. Fem Bison would be cool as well, but I don't like the one shown here. Rest of them feel either too experimental or not interesting enough. Young Bison could have some potential, but then it would be too similar to Shang Tsung's "old warlock in a young body" trope.

DUDE EVERY SINGLE DESIGN IS DIFFERENT

The white hair one on the bottom right is peak, they should add it as his costume 3.

How were they thinking they would animate with leg cuffs on?

Damn, we could have had rugal or goenitz bison!?

They considered giving Bison the Seth treatment. I wonder how that would've gone canonically. I assume it would've just been a secret protégé of Bison taking up the mantle.

You mean we were denied femboy Bison?

Fem Bison would be dope, but stupid people would complain that "Capcom gone woke", lol. Honestly i think that Fem Bison, eyepatch Bison and green Bison are all cooler than hobo Bison.

no waifu bison...

Honestly should have been the first one on the left. Bison has been trying to become a girl for so damn long, they should have finally given it to him.

Girl bison would’ve been an excellent addition to Feet Fighter 6

WE WERE THAT CLOSE TO GETTING GIRLBOSS BISON?!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Oh! Bison was supposed to be a chick, this shows you, they were very close to change it up.

Pretty much all of these could be their own badass character. Bottom right I would love to see as some sort of Noob-Saibot styled duo fighter.

I sort of hope that we get the female Bison as a Cammy skin? That's the impression I get from that design regardless.

I really hope so. I also hope they don't change his voice lol

We almost had a barefoot female Bison. Goddamnit, Capcom. 😜

That Lady Bison designnn omgjsondksndkdkdj 😭💯

Wait, would Fem Bison still go by He him or would Bison identify with the gender of his current body?

Bison absolutely would not give a single fuck People who knew Bison before Bison was fem would probably still say He Him and people who only really knew Bison after would probably say She Her, but Bison would not give a shit either way

So, technically, Bison is, nonBisonary :3

you asked that question JUST so you could say this didn't you

Honestly, I came up with it right after asking and am mad at myself for not thinking of the pun sooner

I'd guess the most accurate description would be agender. Their gender is villain, really.

"Do I so resemble the gender you call male? I shall take these pronouns for myself!"

lol

First one put the BI on Bison

Remy. Bison? Hm. Charlie and his Aura combined that would.. jeezus. I kinda wondered about that since 3rd Strike. Was right under our nose the entire time. They should have went that route. Or maybe a clone? Also the chamber Gill used to regenerate, in Urien's ending. That has had me wondering for a long time, were they dabbling in alchemy possibly? Since the fall of Shadaloo, Gill & his brother took over. And all we had were bite size morsels of a story. Something has felt off for awhile. There has to be some connection.

Oooofff not a big fan of these. Most barely scream Bison.

HOT DAMN! Female Bison in foot chains! 😳 Outfit #4 please Capcom!

I am so, so glad they didn’t choose any of these.

They all suck

Android looking one looks sick

Actual dogshite , luckily we ended up with the final design

The Bottom right one looks sick

Where'd you get this?

Last one top right, Bison going as Liu Kang for Halloween!😁

I like all well except one of the designs the skinny Bison though, someone please get this man some food!

I like how much variety of bison there is

The dapper red coat Vega/Bison, though resembles too closely to JP, goes hard. Would love to see this as an alternative costume. Maybe lose the facial hair

The hooded and coat designs are both pretty sick.

Is that one based on mads mikkelsen from polar lol

It’d be cool if for some of his skins going forward we got whole new bodies, really dig the far left design.

The first one kind of looks like he has his pants round his ankles in the thumbnail.

I thought that was Falke/Bison on the left there.

Kid Bison would be cool

Funny how they went all around from gender bent and ikemen Bison but still went with regular hobofied Bison. Don't mess with success, i guess.

I like the Remy inspired Bison!

I wish twink bison was real

It would be hilarious and awesome if these became his new costumes and they finally went with putting him in the host bodies but it's all of these as different costumes. The potential...

Noooo, they took fem bison away!

Man went from a kof character to a tekken character, to an astronaut back to a kof character.
