OMFG this is soooo much I'm dying oooohhhh.
I'm expecting some big haxes and plot shit for Bison and the best's that Terry and Mai are going to be canoooon.
 
I LITERALLY LOST IT! (even though I expected Rock as the second guest over Mai, but hey, I'm very happy to complain)
 
I still can't believe it.
A little sad for Elena, who gets completely overshadowed by the guests, Bison can at least defend himself.

Now I wonder if Terry and Mai will just pop out of nowhere or there'll be a "meta" explanation.

Likewise, Bison has either regenerate himself or took over some poor folk.

I'm also getting a hunch of a continuation of WT or a real story mode, you can't just throw all of 'em in there without backing it up with something, come on.
 
Tbf this version might be more puzzling than it seems.
In the trailer he says he'll take this "M. Bison" name that the Player calls him with for himself, implying he might not be the real Bison.

On the other hand the Facebook page (possibly even Twitter idk) calls him "amnesiac rider", possibly hinting of him having no memories of his past, perhabs a side effect of a more traumatic and difficult resurrection or body hop.

The gameplay trailer also shows him emitting flares of bluish energy, which I believe being Soul Power, the one he had before corrupting it.
He also seems incapable of bearing the full might of his Psycho Power, which is shown to suddenly and violently burst out at times. Likewise, his aim is seemingly to absorb sources of Psycho Power scattered around.
 
I think it's more of a reference to Kenshiro, the horse is identical to Black King and the hood resembles Ken's time skip outfit, the time when he inherited the ride from Raoh.
 
Watching Max reaction, apparently Bison has no memories and thirsts for power, given how he looks in SF6, i guess it pretty much paints the picture he is back in an unstable weak body not even knowing of himself anymore
 
If thats the same body, that would be like what power? Regen?

Although given the timeline is SF5 -> SF3 -> SF6 and its a gap where characters clearly aged from, its not gonna be useful in middle of battle, let alone SF6 shows his state he is in
 
Yeah atm I can only imagine this being long term regen (Or they retcon the events of his defeat in V to simply being knocked out or something), but yeah really weird that it's not a new body
 
Let's wait for Bison to come out, I hope his dialogues will shed more light on the matter.
The same article says his arcade mode and stuff will explain everything and his story is heavily connected to other dlc characters. Nakayama also mentions that Bison was indeed hakai'd and in his victory pose we can see his hand crack the same way it cracked when Ryu destroyed him, so I guess he managed to reform himself and is always struggling to keep his body from fading again.

So I guess it's just a matter of waiting.
