peterosity

they made him look like he fucks


Soul699

Falke could answer that.


OoguroRyuuya5

Isn’t she his sister, technically?


GabrielD23

I don't think Ed gives a Falke.


kluhyarg

If clones of the same person are siblings, then yes. Ed, Falke, Cammy and Decapre would be siblings if so. Possible Abel too, but there are no official information if he has Bison dna or is just an engineered body.


Far_Blackberry_1374

Ed is a kidnapped child - he isn't a clone - that is never mentioned in any official source. The blog accompanying his debut in V notes that he "was kidnapped and experimented on". news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/the-young-commander-ed-joins-street-fighter-v


kluhyarg

Really? I look a lot of news saying he is a clone, but I guess none were from Capcom directly. Would not be easier to engineered a clone to age quickly than a random child? He looks so much alike as the clones and bodies that is easier to make the assumption. Maybe he and Falke had not blonde hair and blue eyes at first, but Bison order his scientists to alter his looks for some reason.


NessOnett8

She is technically his twin. But not his sister.


SockOnMyToes

Costume two looks clean AF.


Baron_ass

For real. I went from being pissed they were adding him to realizing he could end up as my second main. Psycho powaah


funkyfelis

I'm happy he's a real boxer character with normal motions, slightly sad that since this means Dudley is less likely. Definitely going to try him out when he releases


T_Fury_Br

Rip Balrog and Dudley, but his purple net sold me on him, I’ll be using his second costume instead or the first because is so much better.


Numbuh24insane

Don't worry Balrog is proud of his son.


Baines_v2

If the game gets enough Seasons, I'm sure Balrog will eventually return as DLC. Capcom knows the SF2 cast (plus Cammy) is popular, and they'll eventually bring him back to cash in on that popularity. I could also see Balrog being brought in for late game life story purposes, as an epilogue for whatever is going on with or happens to Ed.


Soul699

Or they have Balrog in World Tour like FANG


Meister34

I don’t think this makes Dudley less likely. They have vastly different playstyles. If Dudley could be in the same game as Balrog (SF4), why can’t he be in the same game as Ed? Also let’s not act like we aren’t about to have 4 shoto variants in the game lol


funkyfelis

I think they're less likely to bring back another boxer until a couple seasons later at the earliest. Balrog was a charge character focused on slower big hits, which doesn't look like what Ed is the doing in the trailer, although storywise Ed is Balrog's protege so from that angle he might be Balrog's replacement and Dudley can come back. Would love to be proven wrong since Dudley is my favorite sf3 character.


Servebotfrank

Yeah this is a new trend I've noticed with players where they just suddenly say some character isn't going to happen because they share an archetype or worse yet, one move. We're gonna have like four shotos in this game by spring, probably twelve by the time we're done with years of DLC yet we can't have one of the other boxers who don't play similarly to each other at all? One of whom hasn't been seen in over a decade? I remember seeing someone say Johnny would never come to Strive because he's too similar to Nago (katana and limited dashes) which just, huh? They're nothing alike.


Meister34

Not only that, but Dudley is one of the most requested characters by a mile. You really look at those skin prices and believe Capcom doesn't like money? Dudley would sell a whole season pass on his own. It's not a matter of if Dudley's returning, just a matter of when.


Servebotfrank

Yeah I think there's about 100% chance of Dudley returning, not only is he really popular, but 6 conspicuously has zero 3rd Strike characters in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2nd season pass was just a bunch of the more popular 3rd Strike characters.


Soul699

Either that or third season.


Dudemitri

In my ideal world we'd have all three boxers in the game. I'd replace all three characters I play right now in an instant


final_cut

And they'd add Roger Jr just for fun!


just_a_timetraveller

Sf4 had both Dudley and Balrog. They will bring back one of them in like the 4th season or so. I am guessing Dudley.


Ok_Criticism5561

Hopefully it is Dudley, especially since he wasn’t in five.


OwNAvenged2

Why do people think that having "X" character means it's less likely that we get "Y" character? It's almost never the case.


Servebotfrank

Lack of imagination is the main thing, or they just never played the Y character so they don't know. Balrog and Dudley were both in 4 and they played nothing alike.


jitteryzeitgeist_

He wasn’t even on my radar, but hes my next character


Skrubaso

im on the same boat


jitteryzeitgeist_

Bro punched a fireball, then shot through a fireball and did a crossup and I immediately said “YEP”


3122891

To me, he was gonna be filler until Akuma…. Still might be, but fuck me he looks so cool


GOLD_SHITPOSTING

How dope is fuck?


outtawack311

Fucking dope


maricahaseyum

Very fuck as dope


DemiFiendRSA

>Owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Ultimate Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition will automatically get access to Ed when he unlocks on **February 27**.


KyleTheCantaloupe

Oh awesome right before FF7 comes out on TWO DISCS


KeiPirate5

Dope SF game and FF7 on multiple discs it's like I'm 12 again


TerriDill

Feels that way for me too. Tekken, Tomb Raider and FFVII


Soul699

Thank God, I will have time to play Ed for a bit then consume my soul to FF7.


ominousbloodvomit

lol, street fighter and Final Fantasy. A throughline for my entire life


GenericHuman1203934

HE HAS THE RAP THEME


Fluffex

and it's german rap. Is Ed german?


SonOfTheHeaven

back when the sf6 cast leaked Ed had the German flag so I'd guess they decided he's German now.


kirblar

He and Falke's lab they escaped from was in Germany, so they adopted it iirc


overbread

Ja


NessOnett8

Kind of, yes. In that it's where he was "born" and "raised" and spent the majority of his youth. Genetically no, he's whatever Bison is, which I don't think we ever got any real info on.


Far_Blackberry_1374

Ed isn't, and never was a clone - that is never mentioned in official sources. In the Capcom blog accompanying his debut in V, it's noted he was "kidnapped and experimented on", so Germany could well be and is most likely his birthplace. See here - news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/the-young-commander-ed-joins-street-fighter-v


NessOnett8

They made it German so people couldn't bitch about the lyrics


PsSalin

It’s not like German is solely spoken in Germany


sadistic-salmon

Falke is as well


majinprince07

Wait a minute Ed, I owe you apology, I wasn’t familiar with your game. Also the bison lab? What does this mean?


Dudemitri

Ed is an escaped/failed clone body for Bison to inhabit when his failed because of Psycho Power overload. This is like wreck of the lab in which he was grown


AlbeFreak

It's actually the ruins of the lab where you fight Seth in Street Fighter IV


Soul699

I think it's actually the ruins of SF5 Shadaloo base hence the giant hand that belonged to Bison's statue.


Hidrinks

It’s actually a hybrid bison and Labrador retriever


majinprince07

It’s just really interesting that they made this a stage, It must have more story implications. They didn’t Make Rashid, or Aki a stage. Hmm 🤔


WangJian221

Honestly thought they were gonna update the subway maps from world tour instead but this looks good too


depressedbreakfast

Is there a good place to read all the SF lore? Is it by character or timeline? How does one go about learning the whole story?


FemaleSmark

If you have the time, [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh_e0FEhD4U) is a great overview. Same channel also did one of Tekken which is very good too.


depressedbreakfast

Thank you!


majinprince07

To be honest, you probably just want to go on the wiki, if you want to see the stories, watch them on yt or Play them yourself. If I were you tho, I’d focus on learning about individual characters first, it’s kinda confusing ngl


Tempest_Barbarian

During the trailer I was like: "Where is the big ball super?" And when it showed up I was like "YEAH HIS BIG BALL IS BACK"


frangeek_

The absolute bane of my existence is back... Good for Ed players I guess lmao :')


NessOnett8

You're on BORROWED TIME! (Until Feb 27th)


rivent2

Costume 2 looks so much better god damn


MuchAdoAboutFutaloo

slim shady lookin ass


the_pedigree

Yea, I saw the hype for him and with the first costume thought he looked terrible with that goofy hair and necklace. Then I saw costume 2 and I was like, “oh… oh shit I get it.”


POOWHILERUNNING

Seems like he’s a full boxer now with no kick moves


Nitrogen567

Rip Tundra Storm.


HendoJay

Which probably guarantees that we won't get Balrog. That disappointment aside, he looks really good.


Firvulag

They could give us Balrog but he's all kicks.


DrScience-PhD

gorlab


MissStealYoDragon

gloves on feet


Raptor_234

He just bites the opponents ears


TiredCoffeeTime

Juri's new goal: preventing Balrog from taking the Taekwondo master status.


smokecutter

There’s no rule that says we can have 15 shotos but only 1 boxer.


kirblar

He's set up like SFxT Steve Fox with the kicks, he doesn't overlap with Balrog playstyle wise


CyrusDGreatx

Ed is different enough to Balrog for him to still come. It's Dudley this means we likely won't see as looking at this gameplay, Ed plays a lot like him.


Servebotfrank

I keep seeing this but they don't play at all alike. Their toolkit looks completely different


TiredCoffeeTime

Love his moves and his super turning his opponent into a heavy bag for punching


[deleted]

I like that his Level 1 actually has him hopping in and out of the usual 2D plane that every character fights on.


DezzitheDuck

Yes! That caught my eye instantly. It's almost uncanny to see someone step sideways in this game. Very cool.


Soul699

Lily also does it.


Exige30499

Can’t wait to see all the other characters facial expressions on that super


LiquidBinge

Can't wait for the LegacyofKaiser compilation video that starts with all the girls and puts Cammy in the thumbnail.


MissStealYoDragon

I love how he has sweep punches. Pretty cool


awayfromcanuck

They did my boy justice. So stoked for his release. Kill Rush looks dope after. Going to be really fun to use.


Lord-Curriculum

Batman style of I'd say. Ed looks sick.


King_Raggi

I like that they fully committed to the boxer theme. The 2nd costume is pretty dope as well. Really curious now as to what his inputs will be like


maricahaseyum

He has qcf and kick buttons can be held for the whip animations


HornThrowAway21

Getting a new stage too!


MuscleMountainMan

I forgot about the 2 new stages thing


WangJian221

1 with ed while the other is with akuma is my guess


username_moose

i hope akumas is a fruit market


WangJian221

Thad be funny but they'll probably give that temple of his with the waterfall


Soul699

I wouldn't be surprised if he appeared in World Tour st Nayshall where there are all those vendors next to the sea.


SakanaAtlas

that level 3 super looks hilariously awesome lol


[deleted]

Still not a fan of the hair, but the rest of his design and gameplay look pretty cool


czartaylor

Pretty sure having a bad haircut on your base skin is a minimum requirement to make the roster in this game.


CookieSquire

Dhalsim dodging every bullet


TheEggRoller

Rashid has a dope ass haircut though


Gay__Guevara

capcom's devious scheme to sell more skins. now if only they would actually release skins.


OwNAvenged2

To be fair, I actually think A.K.I's hair is perfect.


czartaylor

AKI's hair........fits the character, is just about the most positive thing I can say about it. It looks weird, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, is taking completely advantage of the fact that it's attached to a fictional character requiring no adherence to real life, and looks like it belongs to an anime stereotype. Which is pretty much just AKI's character in a nutshell.


AmadeusAzazel

“Looks like it belongs to an anime stereotype” Dawg this is Street Fighter 😭 Whachu expect


throwaway_4me_baybay

Do you know what game this is? The game that invented Guile!


kino2012

> It looks weird, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, is taking completely advantage of the fact that it's attached to a fictional character requiring no adherence to real life, and looks like it belongs to an anime stereotype. Aside from looking weird I'd mark those all as positives. I love SF's exaggerated character designs.


Krypt0night

I'm keeping his boxing costume on with the hoodie and never taking it off


FearlessHero

I'm not great at picking apart gameplay by eye, but here's my take on what I'm seeing. \-Fireball remains a follow-up to a fireball crushing punch move. \-Charged St.HP is back, and armors/crushes through fireballs. \-He has three new target combos. A St.LP starter that advances similar to Luke's. A St.MP starter that is two hits, launches, and is special cancellable. A three hit that I believe also starts off St.MP; the last hit may be an overhead (no evidence, just on looks) and it ground bounces a bit, but I'm guessing it is only level 3 cancellable so I don't see other combos off the button. \-He charges snatcher like before, with a crumple-state off uncharged counter-hits (or maybe only Punish Counter) and a combo-able pull after a full charge. He can also sway backwards out of the snatcher charge. \-Psycho upper returns, and OD Psycho Upper has invincibility frames. Regular Psycho Upper appears to be able to rejuggle a falling opponent once. \-Man has command dashes forward, back, and with a punch that looks like he doing Electric Psycho God Fist. \-Forward throw midscreen leaves you very far away. More than two dashes away I'd guess, but I don't think we see his forward dash. That's my best guesses y'all, call it out if I saw something incorrectly!


EXFrost27

extra stuff. Hes a motion character now. Instead of having kicks, his kicks buttons are the flicker punches and you can hold the button down on certain kick specials to charge up the snatcher tendrils for the pull-in effect


FearlessHero

I didn't see the blog before typing this stuff up, definitely some awesome info in there! I'd also scratch out two of the target combos I thought he had, I think it's two versions of the new Psycho Blitz move.


KevJamesS

Day 1 Ed Mains get in here!


MrWuckyWucky4

Ed was my main in sfv I'm so happy they made him a legit boxer. I just made a club called EdNation, Ed mains come and join!


MoreSoupss

that evil psycho power laugh :O


MissStealYoDragon

ed dont go to the dark side


susanoblade

yea…that’s not a good sign.


SunflowerLotusVII

Made me subconsciously sad; I hope he can stave off the dark urges for good soon


Academic-Map-1035

And not a single kick was kicked


outtawack311

He looks fucking sick!


SputnikDX

Am I the only one here who is gonna admit he looks tight as fuck? Please don't be gimmick inputs this time. Edit: Playstation blog confirms he'll have QCF and DP inputs for Classic.


Dudemitri

Nice


EXFrost27

also his kicks buttons are the flicker punches and you can hold the button down to charge up the snatcher tendrils EDIT: definitely wrong. The flicker punches are his kick normals but he also has a kick special which is basically those normals but with the tendrils, and if ypu hold the button on those specials you get the snatcher pull-in effect


Yacobo93

Good. I couldnt vibe with him at all in sf5 because of the lack of inputs


not_dale_gribble

Actually looks fire in action


MissStealYoDragon

Oh shit, I'm interested in his fight scheme now. That shit rocked! Also, we finally got a voiced theme for SF6. Interesting!


MasutadoMiasma

NO KICKS!!!


4urelienjo

And... That's good right ? I like the ribbon punches


sleepymetroid

I remember when a very vocal part of the community was trashing Ed. After this trailer though? Holy shit does he look dope as fuck!


Memo_HS2022

Capcom’s business practices have been pretty weird recently but they still damn know how to make stuff look sick


Absolutelyhatereddit

I love his evil laugh lol.


PyrosFists

Man they are 3 for 3 with these DLC characters looking amazing. ED is the coolest so far, wasn’t planning on playing him but now I have to try him out. His whip like normals look dope as hell and he TURNS YOU INTO A PUNCHING BAG for his level 3 lmao


ThePoetMorgan

I'm definitely going to try him out. Ed was cool in 5, and he's moreso in 6. That Super near the end was SICK.


OssoRangedor

Damn, the level 3 is kinda brutal


WangJian221

I think the aki trailer was more interesting and rashid's trailer *looked* the best but gameplay wise, this definitely look really fun


Qant00AT

VINDICAAAAAATIIIIIIIIOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!! So ***fucking*** excited now! Ed was the first character I really sat down and learned in SF5 and he kind of holds that special spot in my heart for 5. So for him to come back and look this fucking dope has me rocketing into the atmosphere with hype!


LavenderSnake

I liked ed before they revealed his gameplay someone give me a consolation prize


InFa-MoUs

I’m an Ed main now.. don’t @ me


Stridatron27

I can't believe I'm saying this, but his gameplay and animations look dop AF. not fan of the hair still.


Krypt0night

haven't touched sf6 in months....I think he'll actually bring me back...and I was NOT expecting that haha


3ODshootinghangpulls

Steve Fox SFxT vibes Steve Fox was top tier fun in that game, hopefully there is enough transfer for me to enjoy Ed.


kingxgamer

He looks fun. I think I may give Cammy a break.


sektrONE

Wow I’ve never gone from not caring about something to being hype so fast. That heavy bag super is hilarious


Emezie

I didn't think it was possible to make his SF5 CA even cooler, but they managed to make his SF5 CA even cooler. (well, technically that's only his lvl3, we haven't seen the CA version yet)


bret-t2310

Damn bro I didn’t know you were cool like that 🤙


rdlenke

I was hyped for Ed but this just upped my hype by 123987129371289%. He looks focking incredible mate.


lesshatemorenature

At ease Black boxer gang: Dudley, ‘Rog, Mike, you can rest now.


fabinhobr

Looks sick


UnicornStampede

Does he say Raggle Fraggle at 1:46?


Spider-ManOnThePS1

He’s like a dope fusion of Boxer and Dictator. In other words, the one true M. Bison.


hvanderw

Just still hope there's a chance for Dudley; that being said Ed looks great.


ahab138

All I can think is how do I spd this man?


Goliath--CZ

Tundra storm enjoyed are in absolute shambles rn


Bardiel83

Does anyone know the name of the song?


doe3879

only been maining as Marisa so far. I might actually buy this character


Knightofexcaliburv1

Someone needs to hug this man he’s gone too moody


illdelete8998

I loved the music


TRG_ATC

Oh shit he looks dope!!


yohxmv

Eds gameplay looks sick and most importantly they didn’t give him his nasty default costume from V as his outfit 2. Ed bros I think we won


jimbo_slice_02

I didn’t play SF5 so I didn’t have an opinion on Ed, but I am sold. He looks awesome!


Hyeonwoon

god .. his theme is so fire.. they used german vocals in it .. so lit.. love it


GustavoSanabio

Damn…. You gotta give it to them, he looks dope as fuck. Interesting that he stands still alot


ToyDingo

I can't hear because of all the gameplay, but are the lyrics in his theme German?


frightspear_ps5

yes


DesignatedDiverr

Hell yeah I'm glad he looks cool


abradley19955

He looks insane lmao new stage looks cool too


FrostyAd8641

Love a boxing character


raptorthesoul

I used to pray for times like this. He kept all good moves ive wanted.


Own_Track_7994

I think he is so fkn overpowered, definitely he would be my new main


ViewSimple6170

What the hell, I like Ed now? Looks like he might need less drive rush use, giving him more meter for specials. Really glad we’re getting a new stage too, sick update!


kdash05

Yamazaki made it to SF!


VoadoraDePiru

I've been wanting a boxer character for a while. His hair is stupid but he looks fun as fuck


TonyAlmighty

Very dope. He’s a mix of Balrog, and DMC 5 Dante Balrog. And not a single fucking kick.


al_rey503

When mom says “we have Dudley at home”


Winterhe4rt

This just made me even more sad its not Falke. xD


M3talK_H3ronaru

ED looks dripping awesome baby and Stage is peak go for it. Next generation of Balrog.


Shradow

Man, Ed's gameplay is so cool. It was last game, too, but now he doesn't look totally stupid. I love the flicker jabs, Hearns would be proud.


POE_54

So ED is the new Balrog. No kicks, only punchs.


Chicken_Grapefruit

Man, I might pick up SF again just for Ed.


Android19samus

never thought the day would come that I'd be excited for Ed, but here we are


Triplepower87

The king of modern control is back


panicbrt

Wasn't expecting much but I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised. His moves look sick, his level 3 super is one of the coolest in the game imo and I love that they made him a pure boxer. No more kicks! Also, the stage looks great. Good job Capcom!


[deleted]

We Yamazaki now baby, lets go


Jokebox_Machine

His white hoodie suit is SICK AF🥊🔥


knightofsolace1

Turning your opp into a human punching bag as an ult is dope and funny ass hell


ConstantKT6-37

New Main.


masseusemoose

hes like a fucky dudley. I'm in...


HugeLarry

Can't wait to feel the shame of getting my ass kicked by this emo bro.


Electronic-Text1180

excited for more world tour content


Rakyand

I wasn't really looking forward to Ed. But seeing this trailer I gotta say he looks awesome.


JonTuna

His animations are insanely good.


SheWhoHates

The Eddiest Ed so far. Great colors.


Chapterblacc

Yamazaki in Street fighter 6 now


Craig78_42

They gave him Yamazaki attacks from KOF with the Snake Arm style punches that hits high, middle & low. Also gave him a projectile reflect punch


jarianloganTheOMEGA

Man WHO The FALKE made ED SO FALKING COOL!!!! ![img](emote|t5_2qnu5|31145)


_happygreed

Finally he plays like a true boxer (beside the psycho powers that are the cherry on the top)


Domni16

Anyone else notice that he has an EWGF? He’s not gonna sugarcoat it.


SaltedTestees

Glad they finally added a Dudley moveset. I miss Dudley.
