Just as an fyi Ed's OD Blitz and Spark are safe cancels against DI, in particular 5MK > OD Blitz is a proper frame trap into an easy 5k damage punish with SA2. So you can't necessarily just tunnel vision DI when Ed turns yellow and OD Blitz counterhit can blow up people trying to mash at ranges where 5MK looks unsafe.
Because of this move and crHK Ed has some of the best pokes in the game, even if they are slightly slower than average they make up for it with range and they both special cancel. He doesn’t have super good pressure thanks to the lack of an overhead and too much pushback on his normals, but trying to escape Ed when you’re cornered can feel impossible if they’re good and patient.
It's the most broken button. Ed's a better Dhalsim. And at least with Dhalsim you can whiff punish his buttons easier. Something I saw the pros do at EVO is they DR in after whiff MK to whiff punish it. I thought the same after nhis video mentioned 18f of whiff recovery. Fastest DR is 11f... Not counting the button used to DR after. So add a 4-7f normal on the DR against whiff MK would work. Realistically would have to use 4f normal.
As a Cammy player ed gives me a lot of trouble because I lack the understanding of what my options are to deal with him. I appreciate this video and I'm looking forward to more

So true! This move imo is one of the best buttons in the game.

@@Un1234l Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of that! Even if you don’t quite get the punish, Ed won’t be able to check drive rush (without od dp).
Great video! I’d love to see more
Very clean, bite-sized video. One thing to note is that on uncharged flicker cancels ed can cancel into level 3 to beat DI if he has the bar
This video was really interesting, would love to see more about other strong buttons in the roster
would love more of these for the rest of the roster
Nice analysis
thanks for the vid and excellent music choice! sf4 norcal boxer gang represent

I like how you removed the UI for the gameplay it made the video look clean
