At first glance Bison's V-Skill appears to be intended for anti-fireball purposes, but a player by the name of Venom47 has found that it's a lot more versatile than many would give it credit for.

Not only is it a great tool for discouraging projectiles, but Bison's V-Skill can counter most striking moves in the game including Necalli's ground pound and Birdie's chain grab, as seen below.

While he may not always be able to successfully follow up with his own projectile attack, Bison can use his V-Skill as a fairly reliable parry technique. This could potentially open up all new strategies and approaches for the evil dictator (as if he needed more).

Venom also explores some practical uses for Bison's unique dash, which sees him teleport a short distance. You'll see it all in the video below.
