Well, I wouldn't say it has to be there for a reason, as this is Capcom after all, and they do some weird things, but I'm choosing to believe the more positive implication of it right now.
Patch isn't going to go live until after ELeague is done.

Indeed they are different mechanically, imagine if an SFV character was able to do 2 of those supers back to back (which is what Shen could do since it cost 2 bars and you can stack up to 5 in KOF).
Regardless, with this kind of logic you are basically praying that your opponent's execution isn't good enough, which matters less and less the higher the level of play gets.
Would it really take that much less time for someone to press a combination of 4-6 buttons than to do QCF QCF+P?
PC Mods are a double-edged sword.
I'll forgive this because you know , boobs and all but more importantly , it seems like a deliberate attempt to copy the breath master from King Fu Hustle
I haven't watched that in forever and now have a hankering to do so .... 🤔
Ed looks pretty cool , doesn't seem like my type of character but I suppose we'll see.
Yes. I think anyone who put in time in games Rising Thunder, CvS2 EO or Pocket Rumble would agree, even for expert players. Stuff like punishes and anti airs become a lot stronger.
Charge moves are basically the same principle but backwards. They take longer to execute, so they're usually more powerful moves.
This isn't about execution either, just time. It's quicker to hit a few buttons than QCFx2.

Sagat is definitely a highly requested character:

Of the characters not in the game yet, Sakura and Sagat are at the top
Additionally capcom is likely waiting to see how smooth this next beta goes before giving a date.
What if Ed's super had the Raging Demon motion?

Its kind of weird how he doesn't match up with the story panels. I wonder if they will redo any of them. It took me a second to realize it was the same guy.
I kind of wish they didn't age him up and roid him out because there aren't many young characters in the game and he kind of reminds me of Abel now.
But his moves look sick.

*shrugs* I'm not going to argue specifics because besides this video we know nothing. My original point is that the QCFx2 could be there for balancing reasons, that's it. I'm not going to make judgements on *what* motion would be balanced because I know nothing about the character besides the video.
Fair enough but that doesn't have anything to do with Ed specifically.
Akuma has had this motion for over two decades and it would go hand in hand with the rest of Ed's inputs.
The point is that there is plenty that they could have done without throwing in something that goes against the rest of his design logic.

This guy is really Bison's son? I don't get why people are saying he has two dads, what's the backstory for that?

I would imagine his 2nd "father" is Balrog/boxer since it looks like he trained him some.

He's not his biological son. Ed is an experimental spare body built for Bison's soul. (Just like Abel and Seth, and to a different degree, Cammy.)
But Balrog freed him from the SIN compound in SFIV and took him under his wing. Now Bison wants him back.

I have a feeling he's going to be Alex tier to make up for his easy commands, especially given how most dlc characters have been released in a very conservative state

Not his son, technically. He was kidnapped and experimented on:
So the experiments infused him with Bison's DNA...but he was raised by Balrog. I guess that's the "two dads" aspect.

Well Balrog also saved him from the boss of SFIV and I assumed he raised him since Ed was constantly clutched to Balrog's hip.

Yup.
- The stage now is Thailand, Sagat is from there.
- It's also Bison's stage, the SFII final boss. Sagat was SF1 final boss, and also a SF2 boss.
- There are no other SF2/Shadaloo (if we count SIN as separate entity) bosses to bring back.
- Out of the SF characters that still aren't SFV characters, Sagat is the top 2 in the characters popularity poll as shown in a post above.
- Fang replaced him in Shadaloo, so there's a chance he may come back just to tell him "lol you suck, noob" and kick his ass even if he's not interested anymore on joining Shadaloo.

As expected, he looks dope! Years ago when I saw him in Balrog's SFIV ending, I'd always knew that they would make him some kind of Balrog/Bison mix "IF" he was gonna be in a new SF game and I'm glad Capcom didn't disappoint! Glad to finally have a 3rd playable boxer in the series and seeing that my boy Dudley isn't here, I might try him out. Wonder how he'll feel like to play since all his specials will be all command normals, etc and not doing the regular motions or even charges with him.
Actually curious to see SMUG play him lol! Dude is awesome with Dudley and Balrog, can't wait to see if he tries Ed also....if he do, oh man.

I'm liking what I see so far. Wish the hoodie was his default, but lots of people will buy it so I guess that was intentional.
Interesting choice for the moves. Will just have to try that out. Love the power dunk move.

First thing that came to mind watching that trailer.
He said he's def interested in playing him and that he does remind him of Dudley

When the new CFN comes. Apparently they changed some stuff on the purchasing/delivery method so it was using the new infrastructure, so that's why he's taking so long.

Awesome news
!That's actually a good question. Hopefully the client hits PSN a day ahead of time.

I'll definitely give him a chance. Interested in the simple inputs aspect but like Smug, he looks like he can be Dudley for me if he never gets put in the game.
The hoodie is story costume, so it's unlock able by FM.

The alternative inputs sound interesting, I find most vertical based charge moves to be a pain in the arse to pull off on a controller here so good thing he dodged the charge train.
I just realised how fortunate I am for that Vega/Claw modification.
Every now and then I'm like "oh yeah FANG, I'm one of the few who likes his crazy weird design and unusual movements", then I play as him and weep as I struggle to do anything.

FANG? Cheap? I don't think so friendo
Have you ever thought maybe there's a reason nobody picks him?

Nobody knows, Capcom doesn't talk to us.

I don't think she would be regardless. The 4th silhouette is the Big Guy that might be Abigail, not the small one that might be Satsuki.
Speaking of Ed's two dads...
nice
M. Bison? Though to be fair, his ethnicity is unknown.

Ken isn't a natural blond, but I guess that doesn't change much.

You're completely wrong. There has been no reused story mode assets.
he has a blond alt color
