Shin Bison, also known as SiRN Bison, is a boss battle in the new ‘Take Down the Giant Bison’ event in Street Fighter 6, accessible in the Battle Hub. However, similar to Shin Akuma, Shin Bison can actually be activated during a match as well. Whether your opponent will allow you to do that is another story, but it’s still one of the coolest secrets that CAPCOM has added to Street Fighter 6.
Unlock Shin Bison in Street Fighter 6
To unlock Shin Bison during a match, players need toplace a Psycho Minein their opponent and perform aforward tauntbefore it is detonated.
We’ll walk you through an example below:
Shin Bison Special Moves and Super Art
Once activated, Shin Bison will gain access to three new special moves, as well as a new level 2 Super Art. Here is how you may perform these specials:
These are the same specials the SiRN boss performs and most of these are callbacks to his kit from his previous appearances including Street Fighter V.
Much like Shin Akuma though, actually activating this form during a competitive match will not happen. It’s simply too easy to punish, and most players won’t waste a second to interrupt the taunt. The taunt animation itself is way shorter than Shin Akuma’s but it’s still not fast enough to be viable during a regular match.
This is something that’s purely added for players to have fun with, and a lot of effort went into making each special attack look flashy, authentic, and viable for combos as well. This isn’t the only new content M. Bison has received with this event, however, because you can alsounlock the new EX 01 and 02 colors for his iconic Outfit 2.
