Um, how did he get so swole? Wasn't he scrawny in the story mode?

 

[Pics_nao]

That hat and hair are so goddamn dumb. He does look cool gameplay wise at least.

 

[AAK]

He looks like a Henchman I'm supposed to fight in Wolfenstein The New Order.

His animations are really, really ace though. Here's to hoping for more diversity with the remaining DLC cast.

Solidus Snake rules.

same

bro you dont like this game

 

[lucebuce12]

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

I'd make an "Early 2017" joke but I imagine too few people would get that. At this point, around E3 seems likely.

 

[Infinite]

He's still nowhere near as cool as Rock though.

Yeah

 

[Lulubop]

From the blog:



Sounds like Capcom wanted their own version of Rock Howard, guess this is the closest thing for Bison to getting a son.

Balrog is Terry?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Ed looks like every white boxing villain in every chinese martial arts film.

I fucking love it.

Ahahaha Damn if that aint true.

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

You get to play him this week.

He's coming with the cfn update most likely.

One regular member followed by 2 more blonde characters

 

[Smo21]

Don't know how to feel about inputs for specials. Will definitely try him tho

 

[Stone Ocean]

As if that is even possible

 

[Alienous]

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

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 ^^

I haven't tried it, and it seems simpler on paper, but I guess I could be mistaken.

 

[lucebuce12]

It's not an update, it's a free beta

Spoiler

for the eventual update

. It'll be available for free to everyone, on PC and PS4 for May 11-14.

It's online only, and it'll have Ed fully playable along with the rest of the cast.

 

[Marvel]

Thank fuck for his alt costumes, I can use him now lol. Like fighting style, great super too.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Um, how did he get so swole? Wasn't he scrawny in the story mode?

accelerated muscle growth

 

[WarRock]

Oh yeah, agree that his moveset feels KoF-ish, but that is a good thing =)

But no more blondes Capcom, geez.

 

[mbpm1]

Never played Balrog in SF2??

Tbh, nope lol

[Scotia]

Ed looks great. Probably my favourite newcomer so far. Not a fan of his main outfit but luckily his two alternates are way better so I'll gladly get them.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Ed ages fast, people. That's why he's a child in SF4 and a teen/young adult in SF5.

 

[sinkfla87]

His moveset looks fun as fuck. Going to wait on more info about his control scheme before I pass judgement. That design though... Awful. Maybe I'm in the minority but I would have preferred his original look.

 

[lucebuce12]

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

The hoodie is his story costume.

 

[Tizoc]

Psycho Power, son.
How do you think Dictator looked like this?

 

[jett]

Why would the button thing be hard for pad users? It doesn't seem like TAP causes too many problems.

Just speaking from personal experience. Pressing two buttons at once is a crapshoot for me.

 

[LiK]

Did he grow older? Looks different than in the story mode.

Yeah that's what I meant you get to play him this week ;P lab monsters gonna go crazy! Plus a preview for s2 patch.

 

[Solidus187]

If they had this trailer ready, why didn't they just show it at the end of eLeague or Texas Showdown when a bunch of interested eyes were on their product? Hm

 

[Numb]

Time chamber

 

[Wallach]

couple other things I noticed from the trailer:

- his cross-up looks like j.MK (thanks dad)

- his s.HK CC (the first crush in the clip) is actually Juri's; given the spider on his hat I'm pretty sure she is also working with him & training him for whatever reason (the actual flash VFX on his VT are also colored like Juri's)

 

[DaytimeWhiskey]

Balrog is Terry?

Oh snap. Dictator is Geese, Boxer is Terry, Ed is Rock

I'm glad the hoodie is in, wasn't really feeling his normal get up. The hat and single shoulder pad really bothered me

 

[HabeeNo]

Hype as FUCK

Will be playing with Story Mode Fuccboi Red October costume

 

[wamberz1]

Did he grow older? Looks different than in the story mode.

Accelerated aging due to being a clone.

So yea, this is him a while after the main story.

People still disliking SFV videos? It's been a year. Do they do this out of habit now?

I just find it kinda funny, but all in all I am HYPE to trying him out, they just went full on stylish with his moveset.

do not question capcpom's logic

two dads and a mom

 

[Boogalogist]

Ed looks great. Moveset reminds me of Terry and Rock. Was almost expecting to hear "Are you ok?" during his CA. That new command input sure sounds interesting.

Great reveal.

 

[Wallach]

two dads and a mom

kinda seems more like one dad, one mom, and one creepy pedo rapist stalker

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

bro you dont like this game

still would've tried him during the beta

 

[Hyun Sai]

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 ?

Capcom works in mysterious ways

Needs arcade mode, breh

Special attacks are 2 buttons, the EX versions require you to press all 3.
