Bison Vs SF4 Li Xiao Long

I ask some of the fellow bison players and most complained about this matchup,which includes myself.I tink ppl would kb me if I complained about a good matchup of Fei Long,which I beginning to feel why.

There is an advice that I would give to bison players against this half naked martial artist.
'Just block and punish.'

At the start,I tried to play the footsie game with Fei Long like how I do with Ryu and also Balrog.Then I realised a bit bo hua...

Examples:
Fei Long cr.hp can punish whiffed st.hk
Fei Long st.mp can beat st.mk
Fei Long has a cr.mp that has a startup of 4 and bison fastest mid range normals is 5 frames,cr.mk and st.hk/st.mk has 6 frames
Fei Long has a decent far.st.hp
Almost every whiffed normal including st.mk is a free rekka

Far Range
Not much things here but you will see a bison flying here and there like superman.Then Fei Long is trying hard to hit you out of your devil reverse or trying even harder not to get hit by it while moving..

Mid Range
Most favorable range in mid range I feel for bison is a max length of st.mk.St.mk at max range beat cr.mp and also cr.hp technically because fei long cr.hp has a startup of 8 frames.
The only thing problem here is Fei Long rekka.(Startup of 6 frames.)
Here a rough distance gauge of Fei Long:
Light rekka-1/5 full screen
Medium rekka-Between 1/5 and 1/4 fullscreen
Heavy rekka-1/4 fullscreen
If he do rekka in Bison st.mk distance(2 scenarios-you block it or whiff it),if you block it,it is free punish for you.(st.lk to st.hk or cr.lk to lk sk.)

Here the thing about rekka.Some ppl gamble their rekka even up to 3 hits...After 2nd hit of rekka,you can mash st.lk if you are bison and before he even do 3rd hit rekka,he will get hit by it..1st hit rekka not favorable to punish since some ppl gamble 2nd hit rekka and hit you when you try to punish it.

Sk is still good to throw around as long as it is not whiffed.Look for Fei Long doing FA to punish your scissor kicks.(Not hit by 1st hit of lk sk.)Max range cr.mk works wonder against rekka.:)

Close Range
I remembered getting hit by cr.lp in AE when doing my cr.lk.Not as favorable as last time since lockdown is weaker with more pushback from scissor kick and nerfed hitbox of cr.lk.Be careful of random flame kicks lol.

Tat's all man.One more thing is that I going to have two more tournaments.After that I would be retiring competitively for SF4..But this blog shall continues for now.:D
