LEGO vs. Minecraft

Danish toy company LEGO recently announced that it will be releasing LEGO Worlds, an answer to the massively-popular Minecraft.

Vesper Arcade Breaks Down M. Bison’s Street Fighter V Trailer

Vesper Arcade has done a great job with breaking down the each and every bit of Street Fighter V footage that’s been released so far, soo it’s no surprise that they’re back with another video, this time for the M. Bison trailer that was released last month.

One of the very first things that Vesper notes is the changes to the in-game lighting, comparing the bits from Charlie’s pre-fight intro shown in his own trailer and Bison’s reveal. Specifically, they note how the game is now brighter and has more detail not just on the characters, but even the background. Another graphical change they note is how EX moves now have a more pronounced yellow and red flash.

As for Bison himself, Vesper goes over alot of the changes that are shown in the trailer. He seems to have a good mix of new and existing normals, including one that looks like his Psycho Vanish from Capcom vs. SNK 2. More notable is that Bison’s crouching hard kick slide now appears to launch opponents into the air on counter-hit.

Another thing that Vesper touches on is Bison’s teleport. There’s been alot of speculation on whether the teleport shown in the trailer is a special move or if it’s his forward dash, making it similar to the dashes of some Darkstalkers characters. Vesper states that the trailer itself doesn’t seem to conclusively point to one way or another. That said, the slight dashing effect, short range, and the recovery that seems a little too fast for a teleport move seem to point towards it being his new forward dash.

Then, Vesper goes over Bison’s specials, of which he seems to have a lot. Two in particular are a projectile absorbing move that tosses out a fireball of its own and a new attack that may act as his reversal. They also go over some of the specials that are retained, such as the head stomp.

Of course, these are just a few things that are covered in the half-hour long video. Check it out and share your thoughts on M. Bison’s Street Fighter V incarnation in the comments.
