Bison Troopers

The Bison Troopers or Bison Shock Troops are characters from the 1994 Street Fighter movie and the fighting game Street Fighter: The Movie. They serve as General Bison's soldier and security against the forces of the Allied Nations. The arcade version Street Fighter: The Movie featured four Bison Troopers, Blade, Arkane, Khyber and F7. These four were soley created for the game and they have not appeared in any other Street Fighter game or medium since their debut.

Blade
Blade was one of four Bison Troopers to be experimented and turned into cyborgs. He has undergone rigorous physical training. Their mission is to eliminate Guile and his forces.

In Blade's ending, he is revealed to be Guile's brother Gunloc (a character from Saturday Night Slam Masters), who has infiltrated Shadaloo as a deep cover agent. His appearance, and backstory, should be noted to not be part of Street Fighter canon (more important to note is that Gunloc in the official Japanese canon "is not" related to Guile in any way, shape, or form.)

In battle, Blade uses attacks that involves a great deal of concealment. He has an array of weapons at his disposal including a bazooka, a stun rod and knives which are hidden within his red uniform.

Other Troopers
Arkane, Khyber and F7 were hidden characters and the remaning Bison Troopers to be experimented and turned into cyborgs. Each of who had their own specific attributes.
 * Arkane, the blue shock trooper, has ability to stretch his limbs and teleport. He also has the Electric Arc attack which he shares with Bison.
 * Khyber, the yellow shock trooper, uses special techniques that resemble the ones used by Dhalsim (a character who was not featured in the arcade game) such as the Yoga Flame, Yoga Flame and Yoga Blast.
 * F7, the black shock trooper, has all the tactics and abilities of the other three troopers.

None of these characters have a storyline past their description.

Recption
The Bison Troopers have been compared to several characters in the Mortal Kombat game series. Because of Blade's knife-based special moves, he was blasted as being a cheap knock off of Mortal Kombat character, Kano. The cyborgs as a whole were similar in appearance but had color coded uniforms making them similar to the ninja characters Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile and others from Mortal Kombat. When Capcom redid Street Fighter: The Movie for the home consoles, All four Bison Trooper characters were omitted.
