It is an easy link, but you need to be really close or it will whiff, it feels the more or less like ryu’s st.mp, cr.hp link
You can always go for st.mp, cr.mk xx upper as it will connect almost always, even though its not optimal, slightly less dmg is better than no dmg at all and you get a knockdown too
He’s probably the closest to the second Guile in the game.
Or what people wanted Ryu to actually be. Character with powerful mid range and AA options that has solid offense as well.
Yeah I’m thinking he might be that Rose like character that people still want. Mid range monster with a good fireball and anti airs. But he also seems to have upclose pressure potential too.
Beta Ranked people are being dicks. I’m trying to learn a character. Lemme work.
They play like they are keeping these points after Sunday.
Definitely. This game is very momentum based like 3S where you gotta stay on people after knockdowns so it’s good that he has that ability to pressure when he needs to also. He just also happens to have a better button and fireball game than quite a few of the other characters that are supposed to be mid rangey (Ryu, Chun, Vega, Juri etc.)
No question the best Season 2 DLC character so far and without nerfs will probably move into top 5 or very close to it.
Why doesn’t his air vskill ender not work sometimes after kk x pp???
It’s the angle in which pp lands I believe.
Prolly, i usually whiff the pp follow up because i press it too early
Played deadaces Ed in a mirror (will upload matches if anyone cares)
I lost 2-0 but once I realized my shit isn’t optimal so I couldn’t match his aggressiveness I played more defensive and had a fighting chance. I dropped a lot of shit but I’m convinced you could play him just as well with mid screen button control.
There’s a actually a limit on the juggles. You can’t do the vskill ender if you started the combo with a charged HP for instance.
Which is kinda dumb because uncharged vskill does almost no damage anyway.
I know it’s super early but how does he feel vs Cammy, Mika, Laura, and Rashid?
So what’s his up close game? I get mid range, but Im not sure what it is you’re baiting in close range. I find it risky to buffer 2P or 2K, they whiff too much. I mean, hes got the staple st.mp x2 frametrap but that’s also a point blank move. I’m mostly dashing in and out and pretending I’m infiltration but outside of raw jump in and VT I’m not sure what the best way to apply pressure/damage is. Does f+mp have a good use at like range or in a blockstring?
I’m not sure if you can delay the fireball quite a bit on block (you surely can on hit), but if you can you might be able to do cr. MP xx f+MP and catch them with the delayed fireball. If not you can always spend a bar and make yourself safe.
Anyone know his day 1 optimal combos yet?
Anyone care to list them?
I just know jump hp x s mp x crhp x kk x pp x air vskill
I saw vesper doing
J.hk, st. Mp, cr. Hp xx f+mp p, cr. Mk xx upper xx super
Corner only tho
Yeah, Ed’s not for me.
He’s very promising, but I’m too old to handle zoning, mid-game and combos simultaneously.
Godspeed, yungins
Corner Only:
5mp, 2hp xx 6mp p, 5mk xx vt, super 468/468
5mp, 2hp xx 6mp p, 5mk xx vt, vskill, pp 342/528 (corner escape 
, prolly tack on duper for an additional 170)
Mid:
5mp, 5mp, 5mk xx vt, dash, vskill, pp 310/470
5mp, 5mp, 2mk xx duper 392/270 (yes it works)
Charge hp, 5mp, 2hp xx kk pp, ppp 379/640 ( does not always work)
Hate to be that guy but how do you do his air target combo??
