It's funny, Balrog was always a horrible, shallow, borderline offensive character IMO, but this Ed storyline has instantly made him 100x more interesting.
Laura's theme is a hell of a misfire as well.
I'm actually surprised so many people don't like his default outfit. I think it looks pretty badass >_>
"Inseparable"
I hope Balrog and Ed never break up.

I feel like Balrog's the Yondu to Ed's Star-Lord (as I implied by the Yondu quote from a few days ago). He's basically Ed's true father figure"Inseparable"

The song is decent though? lol, some of the reactions in this thread are just...expected actually, it's an SFV thread after all.
The theme is trash. Hiphop and Street Fighter go together, but don't give us some corny ass "Lose Yourself" knockoff for a theme and expect us to appreciate it when we got Kendrick and Migos to listen to.
You know Capcom can't afford them. So they gotta work with what they got.

Nah the gotg 2 thing came to mind too hehI feel like Balrog's the Yondu to Ed's Star-Lord (as I implied by the Yondu quote from a few days ago). He's basically Ed's true father figure., & the Star-Lord analogy fits even more if you saw GotG Vol. 2
Cue the avatar quotes

Is that song actually his theme or just another Lupe Fiasco tune ? I honestly wasn't sure. I liked it ! I mean it's no TJ combo theme from KI season 2 but it's still pretty catchy.
They should avoid rappers and vocalists for stage and character themes all together. 3rd Strike played it smart. They had Infinite rhyming during the menus and intro, and you could appreciate it, because his rhymes wasn't lost in the mix. That Infinite was actually dope didn't hurt either.
But for the stages it was just jungle and acid jazz inspired beats. Some stages had vocal samples, but nobody was spitting a 16 during matches. Fighting game themes need tight and discrete loops. You add lots of lyrics in the mix and it sounds cluttered and distracting (this song and the airplane stage theme being examples).

Right? Such an unusual, way out of left field character dynamic. Very much appreciated though.

so have they given any hints about where shadaloo actually got ed in the first place?
like was he abducted as a kid or actually created
it kind of dawned on me that he actually reminds me a lot of a young nash physically

Abducted as a kid and experimented on.

Balrogs been teaching him the value of money. In his study mode, they accept a job from Urien. I can see them traveling the world, fixing fights and hustling villains.I hope Ed didn't become a villain in the end and more of anti hero. I like his backstory so far.
The disdain comes from leveraging a pile of dull assets. Not that hard to understand. If they reused remade Hakan, Oro, etc., would be one thing. But if you're going to introduce new fighters, don't have them come from a half assed last minute story mode that was slapped together to stop the bleeding.
Nope. Ed was an experiment created by S.I.N. Another bison clone body created like Able to wield psycho power.
He'll probably be sparring against Balrog too.Weird that most of those story screen are of young Ed but you obviously will be using buff Ed during the battles. Guess it'll only be one fight this time again, probably against Bison's Ghost.
Best SFV character design imo.

"Swiggity Swooty..."
You're not alone. Imo it is beyond awful.Do not like that default...
They really should have just used either one of the Hillside Plaza themes as Laura's instead.
