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 soldiers and security against the forces of the Allied Nations. In the arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie, four Bison Troopers, Blade, Arkane, Khyber and F7 were included as playable characters (though only Blade was playable from the start, and the rest were hidden characters). These four were solely 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 the Slam Masters wrestling games), 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).

It should be noted that despite not being canonically related to Guile, Gunloc does have many similarities to him in official media, not only his appearance but also his moves are very similar (with a variation of the Sonic Boom, and a Flash Kick in Slam Masters II). Even in his bio he is stated to be "rumored to be related to a famous Street Fighter". However, Blade does not have any of the mentioned moves, and his supposed relation with Guile is only mentioned in his ending.

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 remaining 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 game) such as the Assault Fire, Assault Flame and Assault 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, and they all share Blade's ending.

in other media
Although the particular uniform from the movie was never used in the animated series, M. Bison and his cohorts have many soldiers at their disposal throughout the series. Their appearances vary from episode to episode, ranging from typical street thugs to troopers in high-tech powered armor. Regardless, they all have advanced laser weapons at their disposal (due to the show's censorship policy on using firearms).

Trivia

 * In Blade's ending for the arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie, Blanka's theme plays.
 * The Bison Troopers have been compared to several characters in Midway's Mortal Kombat fighting 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.
