    In SF terms, jabs are usually associated with the fastest buttons, usually light punch or light kick. But in boxing terms it’s done with the lead hand, in Ed’s case his light kick, and those moves with the flicker like the medium punches and even the heavy kicks actually serve as his “jab” as a boxer. And one of the purposes of a jab is to check the opponent’s movements and prevent them from charging in. Boxers usually like to stay at the range of ther jab, and the extended flicker hurtboxes create an illusion of speed. This is purely a critique on his animation, and it’s very very good. His light punches in game are still bad, but his jabs as a “boxer” are solid. Some are even superpowered.

      Not trying to be rude by any means, but in SF terms jab always means light punch. Not sure how many of the newer guys know how the buttons used to be labeled.
      Jab = light punch
      Strong = medium punch
      Fierce = heavy punch
      Short = light kick
      Forward = medium kick
      Roundhouse = heavy kick
      You'll still hear some people still say low foward. Which is a crouching medium kick. That's where it comes from.

      @@shawnr8438 you could also look at it as "jab" in the greater scope of all FGs. It's commonly used for a char's fastest button in smash bros, tekken, anime games, etc. though yeah it's usually a punch

      ​@@jman1293Wouldn't his jab have farther reach than what it currently does? Ed isn't a little guy, he's tall and lean, wouldn't he have much further reach than he does now? I'm 6'1 (6'2 in a pair of Polo Boots) and similar to Ed (minus being that ripped lol) I'm lean/athletic build and my jab has reach on it which it seems to me Ed certainly would as well? Or am I missing something? I'm no boxer or trained fighter so maybe I am wrong here, do let me know I'm genuinely curious.

    you can do stuff like whiff punish sLP into 214HP or 214PP, add super, etc, or whiff punish sLP into DR into combo. very easily creates space traps if you understand the situations, can bait/punish the opponent's whiffed jabs in your face because its 4frame and a good whiff punish tool with great conversions. like third strike dudley 5f sHK into ex,machinegun blow. otherwise he also has tons of tools to put himself right on top of his opponent where his jab does pressure well with 2-3 stringed hits. should be able to hit confirm off 2 jabs easily enough though. it's a pretty fine button tbh and i main ed lol, he has a ton going for him

    The thing is - if you played Ed in sf5 you probably use modern controls. Having said that to get the most of out him even in modern you still need to do a lot of qc inputs to get the different snatchers and mini punches. But I know what you mean. He is a totally different kind of character.
    I agree with the overall sentiment of the video. A lot of people are saying the ultra bad jab range is intended because of how strong Ed is at medium range. But it's a bit too bad. I think once the honeymoon phase is over and the talking heads on the videos aren't playing him so much for the views I think we will see a drop in his popularity. Not being able to punish a good portion of moves that the rest of the cast can is a massive deal.
    I was pretty surprised to see Punk playing him in the recent TNS offline event in the top 8. But of course he went to Cammy for the losers final and grand final.
    I also think they will give his standing light the AKI couching light jab treatment. And then he will be competitive with top tiers.

    Dear Capcom. Don't give Ed a "better" jab. He's an outboxer with good pressure both in the corner and out of the corner with Snatch. Him having a longer range on his (already quick) jabs would be broken.
    Instead, give him special cancels on his stand LK ooooor an 18f standing overhead on forward HK with even better range.
    Sincerely,
    An aspiring Ed main.

    I’m actually really sad he released with such an atrocious jab, AND as a much harder to use character. I played Ed in SF5 and loved using him, yeah he was simple but that suited me just fine. I had fun, enjoyed using him and liked the character.
    They’ve brought him back in SF6 now, and he’s basically a completely different character rebuilt from the ground up. I don’t think this has ever happened with a Street Fighter character before, certainly not after only a SINGLE game of the character existing. This absolutely didn’t happen to Rashid.
    He’s not the character I played in SF5 anymore at all, and now he’s so much harder to learn and use. Is Endingwalker even playing him?
    While it’s cool Sajam thinks he’s “a lot cooler now” and that “they cooked making this character”, I can’t help just being really sad that they had to almost completely destroy the playstyle/character they had before, and replace it with one that is not only so much harder to learn to use, but ALSO has the worst fucking jab in the game. A jab so bad it has damn near completely eclipsed any and all discussion about the character, and is the title of this video. It makes it feel like it’s not even worth learning him.
    I’m very sad about Ed. Was looking forward to him so much, and now what I’ve got is a character I don’t want to play because he’s not at all the character from SF5, and it seems like very few others will play because of his atrocious jab.
    Why Capcom.

Having a character with a 4f low, crazy good long range buttons, and a degenerate utility super doesn't make up for not being able to do short-jab-jab from the same ranges as everyone else so WAAHHHH!!!.

      absolutely brain-dead take. jab hit confirms aren't a thing that characters need to be "good" at. it's an expected default in most 2D fighters. there are no "tactics" here beyond the fact that the move doesn't function, considering their first change to AKI was to immediately fix that issue with her kit in a small patch further demonstrates this.

    • @megapussi
      @megapussi 10 місяців тому

      The only reason ed has a terrible "jab" is because the street fighter community decided to call standing lp jab. Eds jab, as in his actual boxing jab, is his standing lk, because they decided to put all of his flicker normals on kicks. Tons of the best "jabs" in this game are shit like a dude poking you with a cane, or a slap, or a chop etc. Capcom didn't give ed a bad jab, the street fighter community gave his uppercut a bad name.
