Simmons and Max just made fun of Ed so hard on Twitch just now.

He really does just look like a bunch of assets put together.

Offical?

And yeah, that looks way better.

They redesigned him. He's the guy that gets attacked by psycho power in campaign. They say his name in the restaurant scene.

I know who it is. It's Ed. It doesn't look like Abel. They're not reusing models. The story mode models don't look as good as the in game models, Ed doesn't look like Abel and he doesn't look like he did on story mode.

SFV going back to the series' generic character roots. All the new characters in this game have been such a fucking snooze.

The newcomers of the SF3 and SF4 series were visually much more interesting. Well, half of the new SF4 characters were, anyway.

But Oro, Q, Necro, all so cool. Fuck, SFV even managed to make Ibuki more generic. Sucked all of the style out of her.

I don't want to talk about SFV Alex.

Not digging the hat, other than that seems decent enough. Really interested to see how he plays. If he is a second boxer, does that reduce the chance for Dudley in S3?

It looks very much like this is real, but is there any chance this is a fake based on a Dudley model? His upper body, with his high waist and belt, is very Dudley.

I was hoping for a non massive "wall of muscles" male, but I guess that's not a possibility, lol.

That design looks wack. He looks like a Abel knockoff. Much preferred the kid in the hoodie with psycho powers aesthetic
 
Not done with the blondes just yet.

But that Ed is so Abel breh. No way noone on internal team didn't think it. Maybe that's the intention... In any case, figured hoodie would be a default outfit.

Technically, he's already Abel. As in, he's from the same clone batch.

But yeah, it is disappointing that he now shares the same body type as most of the male cast. We need Gen and Rufus.
 
Wait that's Ed? I hope he has an alt I actually like. I don't like your money making schemes Capcom, giving them crappy defaults so we buy the DLC. I'm on to you.

how do I slip unnoticed out of a gloryhole booth?
His teenager design had me thinking he might be a pretty cool keep-away boxer with back sway, flicker jabs, etc, amplified by psycho power. While he could still play interestingly, this just kinda looks like any rando hard-hitting punchman.

Yeah...I hope to be surprised by his moveset.

The one teaser Capcom did post had Balrog suspended in mid-air with psycho power (with focus points around his wrists and ankles), so I wouldn't assume too much about his playstyle yet.

It looks like the heavy set model they use for Abel and boxer (well looking at how his arms are)

But he looks cool, better than kolin

Just take the hat off

Kinda sucks that he's a heavy guy too, thought it was gonna be the first small not muscle bounded boy


EDIT: I was kinda hoping he'd have the same model but he basically has stand powers and has a heavy purple psycho outline around him

I mean if he was supposed to be a Bison test tube baby for Bison to use as a new host body... well looking at Bison I don't think he'd tell the lab to create some Gen-sized motherfucker.
