I can't get over how ugly he looks. Just get rid of the hat and the god awful hair style.

 

[Zyrox]

Ehh not a fan of his design or moveset.

 

[Numb]

With his special inputs just being button presses it's clear he's made with people who struggle with the input barrier in fighting games & need some extra help. Kind like special education for fighting gamers. Hence his name Ed. Special Ed.

ZTS lmao

 

[RecRoulette]

My 3p button can finally be used for something other than v-reversals!

Hell yeah.

 

[stn]

When is the beta? Will I have access to it by default? Definitely want to try this character out!

 

[lucebuce12]

Beta 2. Technically.

Beta 2 for this update.

Beta 5 overall for this game.

Who got the dominant genes abel or ed 🤔🤔

Bison is Thai. Why does he keep selecting white children to be his successor? 🤔

11th of May. 3 days from now.

3 days, no?

I'm sure he'll make the switch. Ed seems closer to Dudley than boxer.

There's no real reason for him to switch now. Rog is close enough and quite powerful

 

[TheTylerRob]

This is the first good new character since Juri imo. I want to main him because I've mostly played Balrog and Bison before but I think he's going to be really popular.

 

[brian!]

Hope they retcon bison to venom bison

Question for the lore nazis : Is Ed is growing to maturity rapidly due to psycho power, or is it simply aging and he will be like an old man next year ?

From Capcom:

At a young age, Ed was kidnapped and experimented on by S.I.N., a division of Shadaloo, in order to become a replacement body for M. Bison. Many of you might remember a young Ed appearing in Rose’s Street Fighter IV story and Balrog’s story in Super Street Fighter IV. Due to the experiments, Ed’s body ages faster than normal humans until they are old enough to be suited for battle. Since Balrog raised Ed, his fighting is centered on boxing but since he carries M. Bison’s genes, his fighting style is enhanced by Psycho Power.

Yhack at third costume.

couldnt they design a design that is not problematic.
very very bad

 

[Producer]

lol nah hes staying with the toppest tier

 

[specdot]

That trailer had bars

Ftfy
His inputs have me super intrigued. Is this Capcom as a whole moving towards simpler inputs in their fighting games? MvCI seems to be moving in that direction. I wonder if the remaining new characters will have simple inputs as well.

 

[R_thanatos]

I like the moveset ,
The character itself is alright

 

[Rymuth]

Who got the dominant genes abel or ed 🤔🤔

Abel is confirmed to be part of a failed batch.

So, going by the MGS anaolgy, it only seems appropos that the weaker clone is the good guy.

Spoiler

Seth is Solidus btw

 

[Piccoro]

3 days, no?

Yeah, you're right.
Sorry I had a rough weekend, lol.

 

[Hyun Sai]

From Capcom:

Ok, thanks. Seems like his growth is complete now then.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

He looks just ok in my book. Pretty garbage design but ok in gameplay.

What is problematic about the costumes?

 

[Finaika]

 

[Pejo]

Still wish we would have got slim hooded Ed as a low HP projectile zoning character. This interpretation of him doesn't interest me at all. 0/3 on season 2 characters for me, so far.

It's an homage to M. Bison. There's nothing wrong with it.

if u have the default macros setup wouldn't that be the same shit for EX Zonk Knuckle in SSFIV?

 

[Kintaro]

Wow. Just an awful looking character with some cool looking moves (of course, they look Bogard inspired).

 

[Lulubop]

His move list: http://streetfighter.com/characters/ed/

Oh shit, he can use his vskill in air

flicker!

 

[DR2K]

I like the whore Bison look.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I wonder which his worse now. His face or Ken's... Hmm...

I wonder is someone'll do the Bogard mod on him

if that K+K special has a remotely decent startup / hitbox I don't know how you are gonna jump in on this character

 

[Mantrox]

"And if you mess with Ed, you be dead!"

He seems really cool, the inputs are gonna be weird though

 

[Numb]

I wonder which his worse now. His face or Ken's... Hmm...

Ken still

 

[mbpm1]

This is definitely going to be harder to use than a motion or charge for me

All of a sudden down down+P DPs from MVCI sound like high execution.

 

[wamberz1]

Or is that an anti-air version from the ground? Pretty sure we saw that in the trailer.

pretty sure it is this, yeah (sort of like vega's VT)

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

His move list: http://streetfighter.com/characters/ed/

I wonder what they're doing to balance against the ease of execution. More disadvantageous frame data across the board?

 

[sinkfla87]

Trailer is up on Gamersyde: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_street_fighter_v_welcomes_ed-19074_en.html


The hoodie is his story costume.

Thanks a lot Capcom, there goes my fight money. :/

 

[Village]

Ken, look at his face

 

[JayEH]

he'll probably be top tier knowing capcom

 

[Producer]

His move list: http://streetfighter.com/characters/ed/

seems pretty good. I was thinking the 2 button press specials were gonna be specific

 

[TheTylerRob]

Ken, look at his face

His face could steal yo girl
