Still wish he was somewhat lean. Muscular lean like Remy or even the twins instead of McLargeHuge like every other male character sans Dhalsim.

Clad the hoodie is an alt costume at least.

His moveset and how you perform his moves looks interesting.

 

[raven777]

Ed's command style just killed my hype..

 

[mbpm1]

The inputs are fine in theory, but I'll need to put my hands on them to see how it works in practice

I've never had to hold a button for a character before

 

[Sinatar]

He uses Psycho energy, is he the son of Bison by any chance? Or just someone who trained under him?

He's a genetically engineered super being bred to be a replacement body for Bison.

 

[Producer]

why isnt he charge or motion though..might have to remap some buttons for him. Doing lp+mp and lk+mk on pad is a bit of a hassle

 

[Doctrine Dark]

Ed looks great.

 

[BadWolf]

The input thing sounds like "Accessibility" which makes no sense for a paywall character for a year old game.

I'm hoping instead it's got solid game design mechanics behind it.


But I doubt Capcom at this stage.

The input thing sounds like Angel.

If he plays similar to her then Ed will be for advanced players and need a very different mindset to play than what SF players are used to.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[def sim]

I was hoping he'd be a charge character, but maybe the funky input might be fun.

Anyway, it's cool they made Balrog into some kind of father figure.

 

[El Sabroso]

The basic skin is ass, gameplay looks very good, and the hoodie is a story skin, at least for little FM to cash into the skin, the input thing for specials will have to try this weekend

 

[Goodstyle]

His story is interesting. According to Capcom Unity, M. Bison is trying to assume control of his body from beyond the grave. Hopefully FANG will be there to help out in the quest to revive LORD BISON.

 

[stn]

I'll give him a whirl like I do with any character. Not sure if his special move inputs will gel with me, though.

 

[E_Darkness]

As soon as the season pass goes on sale in the UK I'm diving back in. I really like the dictator outfit (it should've been the default).

 

[VariantX]

He uses Psycho energy, is he the son of Bison by any chance? Or just someone who trained under him?

He was kidnapped and experimented on as a child to serve as a potential host body for bison. Hes still technically a child since the experiments made him age rapidly into an adult body. Ed was introduced (in child form) in Balrog's SF4 ending.

 

[Zackat]

is Hours Left okay?

 

[Lights and Waves]

Capcom:

 

[Numb]

Unique input
Only experiencing will tell if good or bad
If it requires button mapping on my end i'm already used to that

 

[sixteen-bit]

Maybe Bison does get to use Ed's body. That explains his look in Legend of Chun Li

 

[Karsticles]

His story is interesting. According to Capcom Unity, M. Bison is trying to assume control of his body from beyond the grave. Hopefully FANG will be there to help out in the quest to revive LORD BISON.

Maybe Bison will give his new body a better haircut.

 

[lucebuce12]

is Hours Left okay?

We haven't heard from him in a while, he might have passed out.

 

[Kneefoil]

That's supposed to be the kid with the hoodie? I could not recognise him at all in that trailer. I guess it makes sense that Balrog would turn him into a muscly boxer type, although he has some kicks too.

 

[BadWolf]

Maybe Bison will give his new body a better haircut.

And burn the hat.

 

[Tizoc]

Unique for SF5, but in general it was done by SNK already

And burn the hat.

Capcom:

Pretty much, Capcom knows what's up

 

[Stone Ocean]

Unique input

Doesn't seem like the inputs are unique per se, just that all his special moves are either command normals, mashes or neg. edges

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Unique for SF5, but in general it was done by SNK already

does it matter

 

[lucebuce12]

And burn the hat.

Blasphemy 😠😠

 

[Duress]

Ed is hit box character confirmed

 

[The Salt Life]

Redesign from the kid in the trailer I am not a fan of
Not as much as I am not a fan of the music they used in that trailer. Why....Why that was an assault on my eardrums.

 

[cordy]

Steve Tekken vibes weirdly enough

Yep. Exactly what I thought even before this reveal.

And his look is trash, fighting style cool. Song was trash too but that's besides the point.

 

[JayEH]

Guess I'll reinstall kof xiv and get some practice lol.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Ed looks sick. Excited to try him out this weekend.

 

[Alienous]

So it seems like they've given him inputs that fighting games should have adopted years ago.

 

[lucebuce12]

Ed is hit box character confirmed

FUCK, Gootecks really did come back from the future. He was trying to show us the true path but we shunned him

 

[pablito]

I was eh about the leak, but that was tight. He'll be fun to watch.

 

[WarRock]

Capcom finally experimenting with different input styles like ArcSys has been doing in a while. He looks fun as heck.

 

[The Salt Life]

The inputs are fine in theory, but I'll need to put my hands on them to see how it works in practice

I've never had to hold a button for a character before

Never played Balrog in SF2??

 

[Brian_FETO]

He looks great! I'm sure I won't play him but yea

Is this his theme then? Because I'm loving the Third Strike vibes

PS: don't read the Youtube comments, should be a given at this point

 

[gundamkyoukai]

So it seems like they've given him inputs that fighting games should have adopted years ago.

If he is anything like KOF , BB guys they are harder to play than motions characters for some people .

 

[Hyun Sai]

So it seems like they've given him inputs that fighting games should have adopted years ago.

If it's similar to KoF Nelson and Angel inputs and gameplay, fighting games would have died already. Let's hope it's not the case ^^

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Ed's command style just killed my hype..

same

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Ed is hit box character confirmed

Gootecks from the future saw this.. truly a prophet.

 

[SixMachine]

I find it funny that his 2 dads are M. Bison.

 

[sixteen-bit]

FUCK, Gootecks really did come back from the future. He was trying to show us the true path but we shunned him

lmao, futuretecks is the truth

 

[Wallach]

FUCK, Gootecks really did come back from the future. He was trying to show us the true path but we shunned him

he's not from the future, he's hella late to that party

in the blog it says we'll learn more about Ed including the release date "in the coming weeks", goddamn when does this dude actually come out

 

[Numb]

i see

i hate negative edging

 

[Elbereth]

I think he looks great. Fresh perspective, and will spice up the current cast. There are plenty of old characters I would like to see, but I really like what Capcom is doing here

 

[cordy]

FUCK, Gootecks really did come back from the future. He was trying to show us the true path but we shunned him

GooTrunks.

 

[m4st4]

I'm on board: move set, design, everything.
