Learn Bishamon's moveset in Darkstalkers Resurrection, including Soul Stun, Storm Slash, and the EX Super Soul Torment.

Soul Stun: B,DB,D,DF,F+P

This move is Bishamon's projectile in Darkstalkers Resurrection. It has a lot of range and travels pretty quickly. The damage done overall isn't really too good, but you can follow up with several attacks after connecting this against the opponent. Once connected your opponent is stunned for quite a while and it should allow you to perform various attacks. You can use this in the air, but instead of using a special attack afterwards you can jump in for a combo. Note that when you use this in the air you will bounce back, so you will have to try and hurry up to catch the opponent before they snap out of it. Also note that you cannot combo this in because you cannot cancel attacks with Bishamon and also this move has a bit of a start up delay, he will reel back before actually throwing the projectile which can become a dead giveaway for the opponent. The recovery time on this move is pretty bad, Bishamon will have to wait a while before the souls actually return to him, any opponent that blocks or jumps over will have enough time to counter attack, so try to be careful when you are using this move. Also take note that even if you catch your opponent in the air with the Soul Stun, they will not be stunned as they will fall to the ground, but you can follow up with a Pursuit attack or the Soul Torment.

Soul Summon: Perform Soul Stun, B+P

This move in Darkstalkers Resurrection will basically bring the opponent closer to you. Once you have caught the opponent in your Soul Stun, perform the motion and the souls will bring back your opponent closer to you. However as you bring them back you can catch them in the air for a quick attack, much like a one hit juggle combo. The reviewer personally doesn't find much use for this since what you are going to do if you are near the opponent anyways, and would settle for the other attack instead.

Storm Slash: Perform Soul Stun, D,DF,F+P

This move in Darkstalkers Resurrection will have Bishamon storm across the screen and slash his opponent twice, it does a lot of damage and its great for setting up your opponent for a super as well. It starts out and finishes pretty fast as it is the better alternative to using the Soul Summon. The only thing you can really do after the attack is the Persuit Attack and the Soul Torment, but other than that he will slash twice with his blade zooming across the screen.

Upper Slash: F,D,DF+P

This move in Darkstalkers Resurrection is a very good anti-air attack as it has excellent priority against airbone attacks and when up close to the opponent, this will hit multiple times dealing out good damage. The start up delay on this move is very minimal but the recovery time on this move stinks, your opponent will be able to easily capitalize on your mistakes. However, the only time it has ever been able to be used is when you are close to the opponent, but listed in the manual you can do this move after performing the Soul Stun.

Quick Slash: B(charge for 2 sec.)F+P

This is basically a quick attack in Darkstalkers Resurrection. It will have Bishamon slash quickly towards the opponent, but the slash will cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) half a screen's distance horizontally. This will hit up to two times and you should use it to catch the opponent when they are off guard, also the recovery time on this move is pretty good, there isn't a lot of delay time. The start up delay time is pretty good as well, it'll be hard for the opponent to catch you once you have started this move, unless of course they jump over you and attack from above.

EX Super: Soul Torment: Knock Opponent Down, D,D+3P

This super in Darkstalkers Resurrection will do a lot of damage for a single hit. This will have Bishamon jump near his opponent and then briefly cut them in half, however if he finishes the opponent off with the super, the opponent remains cut in half though. You should use this often, it has a pretty high success rate and its an excellent addition to a combo. But since your opponent can roll, there is a chance that you might waste a level of super. However, even as your opponent gets up and you are in the midst of your attack, you can still connect with the super! Its also unblockable as well as your opponent will have to jump out of the way to avoid this super if they do manage to get up in the middle of the Soul Torment.

EX Super: Stone Sentence: B,DB,D,DF,F+3K

This super in Darkstalkers Resurrection is a bit odd, and funny too. This can only be blocked low and once connected your opponent will already be tied up and sitting on top of the wooden block you sent kneeling. Then three cinder blocks will drop from the guy and right onto your opponent's knees! It's a pretty funny super, but it does a lot of damage and it can be used as a quick counter against missed anti-air attacks and some supers. You can't combo it though and the start up delay is noticeable and punishable as well.
