Bison Troopers

Bison Troopers are a faction of villains who appear in the Street Fighter movie and its video game spin-off. They aren't a part of the Street Fighter continuity.

Role
Bison Troopers are general M. Bison's soldiers. They are members of Shadaloo and its security force. They aid Bison in his mission to eliminate colonial William Guile and the Allied Nations. The troopers are seen throwing hostages into a pit during the beginning of the movie. Moments later, M. Bison initiates a live two-way broadcast between himself and Guile. M. Bison demands $20 billion dollars in three days or else the hostages will be killed. The troopers demonstrate their loyalty to Bison by chanting his name. Later in the film, Bison and his army are at an arms trade involving Sagat and his own gang. A mistaken deal instigates the confrontation between both sides. It is interrupted by Ken and Ryu (who are con artists in the film). They warn Bison about Chun-Li's attempt to assassinate him by rigging his truck with a bomb. He manages to evade the assassination but his arms cache is destroyed. His troopers capture Chun-Li and her cohorts. As repayment, Ken and Ryu are inducted as Bison Troopers. However, they decide to strip themselves of their new status. Later, Chun-Li manages to escape but is captured again by Bison Troopers. She and her cohorts, who were rescued by Ken and Ryu, are also captured by Bison Troopers. Days earlier, Guile planted a homing device in a truck that was commandeered by Ryu, Ken, and Sagat. The device locates Shadaloo's headquarters via satellite. Guile, Cammy, and T. Hawk travel there by a stealth boat. They are detected but managed to evacuate before their boat is destroyed in a mine field. While Bison Troopers are off duty, they are attacked by Guile. Cammy and T. Hawk stay to wait for a planned attack party from the Allied Nation. Guile Infiltrates Shadaloo's fortress and damages Bison in a surprise attack. Bison orders his troopers to shoot the hostages but Guile closes the pit in time. He then frees Chun-Li along with her cohorts, Ryu, and Ken. Later, Bison orders his troopers to fight the attack party. They are defeated in battle by the attack party who also rescue the hostages. After Guile defeats M. Bison, the Bison Troopers are disarmed and arrested.
