Idk I’ll probably give her one more try tomorrow. Playing her this last went from fun to me hating the game real fast.

Yeah i was expecting a purely funny film.
Wasn’t expecting a moving character study of depression, isoloation and recovering from a failed relationship.
Goslin is actually great in roles like this.

Man nothing feels better than landing my Ed meaty c.MP combo. Makes me think I actually have some semblance of timing.

Alright, does anyone want to play a Lounge? I’d like to get one in during this last hour.

What’s your CFN. I still got some time.
Oh I see it’s the same as your SNK name. Looks like you’re offline though so I’ll wait until next time.
So Ed’s charged v skill is +3 on block, gives full combo on hit, pulls the opponent into throw/frame trap/shimmy range BEATS FIREBALLS and goes almost 3/4 screen. It’s currently 35 frames of startup, and this guy wants it sped up to 26 frames, same speed as ibukis overhead.
I just got into an argument with someone that wants it to be changed to 26 frames of startup.
I think that’s ridiculous. Am I out of touch? Is ed THAT bad the he needs something that OP to be relevant?
26 would be kinda stupid because charged v skill’s main weakness is that it loses to preemptive jump in pretty free. Making it 26 would put it around the frame data where someone could time a jump over it and actually have trouble punishing it.
Not to mention make it a non committal move which they obviously aren’t going for with that move. You have to commit/make a read to make it work.
No, they could still jump it and get a free punish because 26 frames is the startup, not the recovery. The recovery on that move is huge, like a command grab.

True, if you’re totally on point you’ll still get it but with nerves and such you could go for a late jump at that extra 10 frames down would make it so he’d have a few more situations where a late jump would have trouble punishing. Especially characters with floatier jumps like Chun. It would get kinda ridiculous vs Chun and Fang at that start up.
I mean think about it like this: double dash from the fastest characters is 32 frames iirc. Combine that with a 3 frame normal at the end and that’s 35 frames. He wants a move that has more range than a double dash, that gives full combo on hit, that is +e on block and that beats fireball, to have basically the speed of like a 13 frame dash that autoattcks at the end…
Yeah doesn’t take much thought to figure it would be stupid, but people like having stuff so hey.

Ed’s V-Skill is in a weird place where it does too much where making it good is likely a bad idea, but as it is…it’s only really useful against people who have no reactions, never jump…or against Akuma because Down V-Skill spaced properly can fuck his freebie approach.
You done for the night or any time to squeeze in for games?
Nah I’m done for tonight, have to get ready for Wrestle Kingdom in 30 minutes. Gotta watch Kenny lose his belt.

As an example, think of a Mika charged st.hk that si 26 frames instead of its current 35 frames.
Yeah Mika has a command grab and ed doesn’t. And Mika can fake hers and ed really can’t. But Ed’s can’t be jabbed or buttoned like Mika’s either. It just sounds like a really dumb balance buff.
It’s just a matter of Ed’s entire V-System (outside of his V-Reversal which got nerfed with every other V-Reversal at this point) being very poorly designed…well like the entire character really. Only now does Ed feel like an ACTUAL character, but he still has a very lacking V-System.
Ok LOL… here’s the coup de grace:
Ed’s vt2 is 26 frames of startup. So basically this guy is saying he wants unlimited vt2 ground snatchers. Like vt2 only gives ed like 2-3 of them iirc and this guy wants that shit all day.
The fuck are people on?

He’s dumb, that much is obvious. I will say though that his VT2 is not that good…but it’d be busted if we got it the entire match (though without the cancels in this case).
Yeah it’s just that he’s kinda a famous name, or using the name of someone fgc famous, to oldschool people.
