Description
- "Rush towards the opponent before smashing them into the ground with devastating strength. A versatile move that can counter projectiles, be used in combos, and can turn the tables when under pressure."
- —Street Fighter 6
M. Bison slamming Cammy into the ground at the end of Unlimited Psycho Crusher.
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch, Bison delivers a powerful Psycho Crusher toward the opponent, striking them in the midsection upon successfully landing the attack. M. Bison spirals the opponent in a vertical loop before drilling them into the ground. As the opponent gasps for air, M. Bison wraps one hand around their face and drags their body across the ground. He then lifts the opponent by the head before pivoting in the opposite direction to violently throwing them violently them hard on their back. He holds his hand out which briefly radiates Psycho Power before dropping back in his stance.
The Critical Art variant has Bison strike the opponent's midsection, briefly incapacitating them. Blindly, the opponent tries to retaliate by delivering a punch toward M. Bison, only for him to suddenly appear before them, standing on their forearm. He then flips backwards before accumulating immense amounts of Psycho Power in both hands. He puts his hands in front and spirals down toward the opponent with a massive Psycho Crusher, causing an explosion of negative energy. M. Bison then stands with his arms folded, glaring at his defeated opponent from over his shoulder.
Tactics
M. Bison defeating Cammy at the end of Unlimited Psycho Crusher.
Unlimited Psycho Crusher is M. Bison's Level 3 Super Art, making it his strongest move in his arsenal. He can cancel this move from his normals or special moves such as his Double Knee Press, Backfist Combo or Psycho Crusher Attack. When M. Bison is down to 25% or less of his health, this move gains an additional boost of damage. It also has a lengthy cinematic animation, allowing M. Bison to recover Drive Meter while draining at least two bars from his opponent. He is fully invincible during the startup frames of this move, making it a good option to punish projectiles at short range. It is also his fastest reversal option, albeit risky and expensive. If the opponent has a Psycho Mine planted inside them, then the bomb is negated during the cinematic of this move. Lastly, if timed right, the move can be used as an anti-air against jumping attacks or jump ins.
Trivia
- The first part of the Standard animation is akin to the Psycho Crusher portion of Nightmare Booster.
- The Critical Art's animation is inspired by a scrapped idea for one of M. Bison's attacks, where he would have stood atop his opponent's punch with his arms folded. Due to limitations, it would be repurposed into Head Press.[1]
