I’ll save you the wait
He can’t
Oh good, then he’s still bottom 10 and I won’t have to bother playing. More time for DBFZ and Dissidia.
Back on my shit.

That was aimed mostly at the first case of March-December updates that leave a 9 month window which is quite long. 6 months is fine, but I feel it could lead to devs getting extra cautious because “any mistake is going to last for six months to the next one”, so 4 months is great to act more liberally and to changes without worrying. Changes are naturally going to be less as patches go of course.
And it’s naturally to get bored of any game once optimal play is figured out and there are no changes incoming, and a game lifecycle isn’t even that long. It happens more often in the age of Internet and that isn’t bad at all, so let’s stop pretending that balance schedules of the times of ST or 3S arcades are still fine.
I’ve never done extreme survival for any character and I never will

Why do you scourge yourself like this?
You must enjoy suffering and pain!
Ed’s c.MP was only really good when it was plus 3 on block (which they took away). Once it got to plus 2 it’s not much different from your Akuma c.MP or Bison s.MP

Extreme Survival isn’t really a problem anymore, with items and saving
I have it completed for almost every character myself
It’s more of the time sink that’s annoying now.

You’re a smart man.
Don’t be like me.
I guess I just can’t leave any of them undone. I did all of Kage’s Survival right away.

Once the opponents start to read your input it gets very annoying even with save and items.
What makes theirs better is that they get more reward off of it. If Ed got similar reward, his would be better because his walkspeed would allow him to place it with far more precision than the other two. But since he has no reward off of it still, it’s far worse than those two because the opponent never has to respect it.

Just abuse cross-ups, even the best AI can’t deal with repeated cross-up abuse in Survival
Unless your character doesn’t have a cross-up in which case yeah it can be a pain
Although patches are hype , I personally don’t like them due to the amount of knowledge you need in fighters already being unusually high for a game ( if you take it seriously).
I’d rather nut out matches with what I know even if it’s bad, rather than have a constant feeling if - this stuff won’t matter in 4 months.
Personally I think it takes at least a year for even the meta to establish.

Can Capcom be anymore stingy with the fighting chance… New Years Four Kings only a single reading for 4500… Some of the EX colors look cool as hell but damn!

Well Akuma has better walk and a plus 3 c.MP, but it would do him better than Bison movement wise any way.
Generally with Ed he’s not scary until he gets within s.MP range.
He isn’t scary at all unless you don’t know his data. There’s no point where any opponent should fear his offense. He’s the epitome of “just take the throw”.
I would say he hurts enough and has the corner push off stuff that you don’t want to take too many more throws if you hit a corner, but yeah not the end of the world compared to Cammy s.LK or s.MP railing you down.
