Shin-Bison, known as True Vega (トゥルーベガ, Turū Bega) in Japan or simply True Bison, appeared in Street Fighter EX3 as a secret final boss who could only be fought once the player has accumulated a high enough score, which can only be accomplished by means of acquiring numerous perfect victories and by winning matches using a Meteor Combo, Meteor Tag Combo, or a Critical Parade as often as possible.
He is unplayable, unless third party cheat devices are used, as he is quite unbalanced in terms of gameplay and even has an unlimited amount of energy in his meter.
This version of M. Bison is a representation of him whilst going all out and utilizing his full potential.
Biography
Appearance
Shin-Bison is very much similar to regular M. Bison in terms of appearance, except with a different palette for his skin and outfit: his uniform is white with turquoise shoulder pads and anklets, and he has a zombie-like light purple skin tone. He is also physically larger than the normal Bison.
Abilities
Gameplay wise, he is different from the regular Bison and Bison II in that his movements are faster and his attacks have less delay and recovery time and can be canceled/chained as if he was in a permanent Excel state (for example, his Double Knee Press can be immediately interrupted into a Psycho Crusher). Finally, he gains a new Meteor Combo similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series incarnation of his Knee Press Nightmare.
Trivia
- Shin-Bison replaced Bison II's place as the secret final boss in Street Fighter EX3.
- Shin-Bison is similar to the form M. Bison takes in the original arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 as an unplayable boss with greater strength than his normal self while also having the devastating Final Psycho Crusher Super Combo. This version was also accessible via a fourth ISM.
