The General is a relic of an era of less-strict game design-only stronger to his cheap-boss compatriots in relative terms, but overwhelmingly stronger nonetheless. The boss got so hard that the developers nerfed him in a subsequent (and never actually released) update to the game. This is the proof of the victory over the General. Bison, but in gameplay terms is so hard that it took twenty years for proof of a legitimate victory to be posted. Stylistically, the General is nothing but a cheap imitation of the legendary M. Looking up the origins of the general, I found that he was from a game called Kaiser Knuckle (known as Global Champion in a small US release), an unsuccessful and otherwise unspectacular Street Fighter knockoff. It started when I was watching Saltybet, and noticed (repeatedly), a character called “General”.
However, I have found one that takes the cake. The term “hardest boss fight” is used far too commonly.
