Final Psycho Crusher

The Final Psycho Crusher (ファイナル サイコ クラッシャー, Fainaru Saiko Kurasshaa^?), also known as Ultimate Psycho Crusher (アルティメット サイコ クラッシャー, Arutimetto Saiko Kurasshaa^?), is M. Bison's ultimate technique in games such as Street Fighter Alpha 3 and SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, it is exclusive to his Shadaloo-ISM fighting style.

Description

Executed by charging backward, then moving forward, backward, forward and pressing punch with the Super Combo Gauge at maximum, it is a more advanced version of the Psycho Crusher that is far more powerful and inflicts a great deal of damage. M. Bison warps off-screen and then charges forward, covering the whole screen with a devastating streak of blue flames (orange in SVC). After all the hits are landed, Bison rockets away, and teleports back onto the screen.

This improved Psycho Crusher is much faster and stronger than its normal counterpart, cannot be blocked in the air, and inflicts severe damage even when blocked. The only way to avoid this move is to use a well-timed teleport move or any other move with enough invincibility. Cody can dodge the entire move in his V-ISM mode or in his OMEGA-mode command maneuver.

Tactics

In playable hands, the move is the perfect frame trapping move, even at lower levels. However, the lag both in startup and finishing animation emphasizes the fact it must not be used carelessly.

The move deals severe damage even in the playable version, though it is as strong as the regular Psycho Crusher in lower levels.
