@@kenmasters2231 na it really depends on the user.. people need to dig deep and find the harmony of using their mains.. like how tokido has found in alums.. smug found in Dudley.. pokongo in Seth.. kichipa using zangeif... every character had its weak and strong points you just have to utilize them to the maximum..
Man I really appreciate how much more better both ed's v-triggers has become. Ed's one of my favorite characters to play with but his tech with both triggers was so underwhelming due to v-reversal and didn't hit too hard for damage.
2:40 You can microwalk to hit that 2nd Upper. Very strict Timing! Also after crossup, MP > cr. MP > Upper > VT2 > Microwalk Upper works too, and the timing for the Microwalk is less strict.
These videos are absolutely awesome, thank you so much for them! Not only do they tell me what is different but the actual aplications and implication of those changes, that as someone that has never played SF V before except for the trials in the demo (and is super interested to properly play) it is amazing. Ed was one of the characters that really caught my attention, so it's great to see him stronger
Is it just me or do most of Ed's buttons feel different now? I haven't played him in a while, but i always felt like his s lp and s mp were kinda sluggish but now they're not in the slightest. I dont know he just feels a lot less awkward and sluggish between movement and move speed. The quick release of hp is nice too.
I know I'm thousand years late, but After upper into vtrigger 2 activation on-hit, you can, consistently, from any range, do a dash up into flicker, which will work, where upper or j.mp would not work. Gives good corner carry and okizeme too.
Also! After hitting with vt2 snatcher, Ed can now combo cr.mp into Rising, for better combo routes, more meter usability and better corner carry and okizeme. This ups Eds 1 bar damage after vt2 snatcher too. The only tricky part about this is, you HAVE to delay the divepunch after Rising for it to connect, but this is merely a timing issue, which can be learned very quickly. on that note, the more juggle oppoturnities of flicker enable Ed to do a cornerswitch combo into okizeme after Rising > EX divepunch with a dash into flicker.
I always kinda wished the devs would have taken more inspiration from Roy Jones Jr. in Ed's moveset, and over-all gameplay. When I first saw his idle stances I got SUPER excited because that's who it reminded me of and then... eh. Just kinda seemed like Doodley would ahve been a better pick instead of Ed. :\
Psycho rising Ex -> VT1 -> VS2(no hold) -> psycho knuckle -> Psycho flicker. Quote me if if wrong but the extra hits on VT1 is what makes this possible right? I’m not sure if it was possible before.
some nice quality of life stuff but the real big thing is VT1 is kinda insane now... you can activate it much more carelessly and still get a lot of mileage out of it. a funny thing about this VT is that it was and still is almost better to be activated on block than on hit... on block you get so much carry and mixup, and a lot of characters can't v-reversal it due to its lingering effect... they did a good job making this VT1 more competitive with VT2
I see more Cody players than Ed. Not sure if these buff are enough to make people played them though, not when poster boy and Alex got a lot of buff...
I really like his story and his relationship with Balrog and the fact that only Ed can give more depth to Balrog, but they really messed up his design in this game
Some good stuff but it's still feels a bit difficult to get in I think he could have: - overhead - cancelable charged VS1 - aerial VS1 - VS2 nullify fireballs, reflects during VT2
loving thd videos, still waiting for the zeku one to see if i get the game on ps4 for like 10$, also, if anyone knows, is there a way to get fightmoney without going online? cause fuck me, this internet will not handle sfv or anything that need a stable connection
Ed and Ryu were the only characters I didn't want them to buff and they both got buffed. Ryu and Ed are the only characters I ever run into online and people only ever spam as them. It makes the already terrible online environment even less fun, I'm really not enjoying this patch.
@Sbeve nine Actually Infiltration and Trashbox used Ed in tournaments. Infil used him a couple of times at Red Bull Kumite 2019 and Trashbox used him at EVO Japan 2020 where he beat Gachikun Rashid.
@@thepuppetmaster9284 Oh nice I didn't know that, Ed was considered trash back then so no one really learned the matchup because a lot of people thought no one is gonna use him
"'This is a special Guard Break, where the opponent can still block." Nice.
LMAO 😭
If it always guard breaks and give you a free combo, that would be so stupid
Ironically Ed would absolutely rather have the +3 to frame trap with than st LK into hands at 60% scaling lmao
Oh shit, I didn't think of that, thx for telling us
@@Bafael at the cost of V-Reversal being a hard counter?
That little tweak they did with keeping the frame data after hit was a very useful addition!!
One small thing you missed is that you can now do psycho flicker after a crush counter st.hp in the corner and even cancel it into CA after
Ed actually looks pretty fun this season. I might have to dabble.
it won't take you long to realize he is trash vs the rest of the cast.

@@sanjivinsmoke2719 ..
i have to imagine by the time you hit ed the grind is really setting in lmao
thanks for grinding these out
Good shit as always. I didn't think to look at Ed's changes but it looks like they took more care with him this time around than I would have assumed.
An additional perk to the 10f on hit to stMP is that it allows for micro walk combos like stMP stMP crMK
Love the messy thumbnail
I can't believe we're in season 2 already!

LITERALLY YEARS I’VE WAITED AND I WILL REJOICE TILL THE END OF DAYS. ED IS GOOD BABY
Man I've been playing ed since season 2 and even with no over head and terrible nerfs/decent okay buffs he's still my main for life in sfv
These videos are absolutely awesome, thank you so much for them!

OH THAT THUMBNAIL
I’ve always dabbled in using Ed, the quality of life stuff is huuuuge!
I watched all this S5 series. Very cool way to catch up to the update, thanks!
I fucking love these videos and I don't even play 5.
Nobody:
Ed: 2:30 Bite me. Bite me. Bite me.
Now its " YOUR MINE "
@@ShinStriderHiryu no it's not
B.. but the sf6 version
V-shifted that thumbnail I see. ;3
Damn you're coming out with these fast. Good shit.
Love the glitched thumbnail

Those dozen little things add up!
nice! if only they could fix his design next
I would like him more if he was more skinny like in cutscenes, I just think his muscle form doesn't fit too well, specially to his story costume
@@idk72. EXACTLY
I want him to have the body type of Yun and Yang
Wouldn't make much sense since Bison likes his replacement bodies buff
@@savontorres2140 But isn't Cammy a replacement body?
One more combo he can do from Upper into VT2 is J.MP Down VS1. The timing is pretty precise and you have to be kind of close to do it but it's there

Dudley and Ed have two different playing style. Ed is more like an MMA fighter with fireball while Dudley is pure boxing.
What do you think of sf6 Ed now ?
Holy shit that thumbnail is epic
What i was waiting for thanks
I main Ed. Finally, i’m not playing a bottom tier anymore.
Psycho rising Ex -> VT1 -> VS2(no hold) -> psycho knuckle -> Psycho flicker. Quote me if if wrong but the extra hits on VT1 is what makes this possible right? I’m not sure if it was possible before.

Those extra hits on vt1 tho...
I welcome this buff but they forgot to buff his cr.MK lol. Can’t wait to see what Infiltration and Trashbox can do with him :3
Yoo 37k , he growing
you can combo psycho upper vt2 cancel into down vs1 for oki
this thumbnail is readable as fuck as well
I hope more people use ed and cody
They seem like they will still be low mid at best. Cody lost a ton of mixup due to vshift
@@tommywd40 thats a shame
I see more Cody players than Ed. Not sure if these buff are enough to make people played them though, not when poster boy and Alex got a lot of buff...
i don’t know what it is but i hate playing against ed. it’s not even his move set but his haircut is just so hideous i can’t stand to look at it.
and the theme makes you wanna punch him
I really like his story and his relationship with Balrog and the fact that only Ed can give more depth to Balrog, but they really messed up his design in this game
@@sbevenine2055 I personally think skinny ed wouldve been better but I dont mind him
@hacking the day
Disagree. His theme is great and one of the reason i main him.
@@thepuppetmaster9284 Shit taste, confirmed.
Is ed popular? I remember able had a lot of fans online yet still got shafted and I’m hoping that doesn’t happen to Ed.
Some good stuff but it's still feels a bit difficult to get in
I think he could have:
- overhead
- cancelable charged VS1
- aerial VS1
- VS2 nullify fireballs, reflects during VT2
Big buff
Thanks Baf! Ed still wack af tho
I can't stand Ed and I hate that they buffed him quite nicely lmao
The camera is too wild when they zoom in on his v trigger 2 connecting I hope they fix this later.
I disagreed. The zoom in feels like his VT2 hit like a truck and i hope they didn’t change it.
Please do Abigail soon!
cool
🤩🤩🤩🤩

Nice 😈
Ed's gotten real stronger, but how he'll fare in tournaments will depend solely on the player's skill. I saw people saying he's mid tier at best.
Ed and Ryu were the only characters I didn't want them to buff and they both got buffed. Ryu and Ed are the only characters I ever run into online and people only ever spam as them. It makes the already terrible online environment even less fun, I'm really not enjoying this patch.
Well you have to realize that these two characters were dogshit and were never used in tournaments
could you not want us to win the lottery? you're doing a fine job.

How?
Why do all these chars get actual good shit except vega... got damn this shit is angering
Fuck bro not all of them.... this is coming from a dhalsim main lol got nerfed kinda heavy
@@ironicphailure7638 looooool ok I guess except him
K
I love Ed's gameplay, but I simply cannot understand his control scheme. It was an awful idea and I wish they'd go back on it.
is +10 the most plus a normal has been in this game without being counter-hit? I cannot think of anything more plus, that is fucking insanity
