Description[]
Knee Press Nightmare in Street Fighter X Tekken.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo[]
M. Bison performs two consecutive Scissor Kicks, then a "finisher" which depends on the game:
Street Fighter Alpha series[]
The Street Fighter Alpha games introduced the most "common" variant, where M. Bison follows the strikes with his crouching heavy kick, which hits twice; this would also be used in the Marvel vs. Capcom and Street Fighter IV series.
Street Fighter EX and SNK vs. Capcom series[]
After the Scissor Kicks, M. Bison finishes instead by performing a back flip and following with a combination of double kicks whilst in the air.
In the EX series, after the series of kicks, Bison would simply fall back down on the ground. On SNK vs. Capcom however, He then makes a final back flip, with joined legs, back to starting point.
SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium[]
While the LV1 version of the move has Bison perform the common variant with the crouching heavy kick at the end, the LV2 version of the move has Bison perform three Scissor Kicks before uppercutting the opponent upwards, then teleporting above them to stomp them with a Head Press as they hit the ground.
Street Fighter IV series[]
In OMEGA Mode of Ultra Street Fighter IV, the move now has a different animation should it successfully connect with the opponent; instead of performing his crouching heavy kick, Bison now performs two more kicks in quick succession, then immediately teleports on top of his opponent and finishes with a Head Press.
Street Fighter X Tekken[]
Two variants appear in this game: the Street Fighter IV variant now appears as his EX Scissor Kick, while the Super Art version has him finish by kicking the foe repeatedly, similar to the above variant.
Street Fighter 6[]
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing kick, or pressing (forward and) both Heavy & Special Attack for Modern Control, Bison leaps forward with two consecutive Double Knee Presses. He then delivers barrage of double kicks to the opponent's kneecaps to drop them on their knees, ending with a backflipping double stomp into the face.

Knee Press Nightmare serves as a reversal and combo ender. It inflicts decent damage for a Level 1 Super Art while making M. Bison invincible to strikes and throws. It has tremendous corner carry and can be cancelled from most of M. Bison's normals. If the opponent has a Psycho Mine planted inside them, then M. Bison hit the opponent with Heavy Backfist Combo or Psycho Crusher Attack before linking into Knee Press Nightmare for extra damage. If they already have a Psycho Mine inside them while M. Bison performs this move, then the bomb is negated. At the end of the Super Art, M. Bison backflips away from the opponent as they tumble backwards to create separation. However, this prevents him from getting okizeme after the attack.
