I wanna see Ed's redemption story, where he beats JP's ass, cause JP deserve it !!! 😂
JP may have deserve a punishment but he is the best villain, is like scar from lion king that people love the villain but in the end he got a satisfying death
I'd love to see Ed reunite with Balrog and become friends again. Maybe there's more to Eds decision of leaving and he's got beef with Balrog
Hes a clone and has a gorilla in neo shadaloo. What else do you need to know
Gorilla for season 2 dlc!
Thought that was his partner
@@Tarnished_Battosai Gorilla should have been launch roster tbh
@@666slateran666 and end sf6 story? Nooo too op.
I like his "Neo Shadaloo friends (except Falke)" more than him
After seeing his clean animations and interesting play potential anyone else feel like Ed should’ve been the rival to Luke not Jaime.
1. They debuted in the same game SF5.
2. Boxing Vs. MMA is so much more interesting and mirrors real martial arts in a way that Jaime’s break dancing/drinking just feels kind of …gimmicky?
3. The spiritual successor to Ryu and Guile vs the successor to Bison and Balrog.
4. Ed’s trajectory has this really interesting redemption arc for Balrog and Bison building that puts him in direct odds with the people Luke is most closely associated with.
No disrespect to Jaime but him being Luke’s Rival or the new generation version of Ken always just felt like lip service, why? How? In what ways are they rivals? The answer just seems to be because the writers said so.
China and Saudi Arabia getting more involved with gaming.
Get used to seeing more shit, derivative characters like Jamie and Rashid as money is pumped in from PIFs (Public Image Funds).
@@gavinpowell4607 I actually have no problem with this in Street Fighter. It’s always been a franchise about global representation. …just make some one “cooler” than Jaime imo.
The half cooked sort of meme-y drunken fist style does not feel like a credible rival to what I presume is supposed to represent MMA with Luke. And he doesn’t even get the “cool” points of being drunk…it’s like tea or some ish.
There is enough interesting culture in China even IF they already played their phone it in Bruce Lee clone with Fei Long.
Like a stoic Ip Man style Wing Chung practitioner could’ve contrasted with Lukes cocky heart of gold
Or
Like a Chinese patriotic soldier could’ve been interesting with Luke being an ex-marine etc
So many ideas they could’ve tried. I’m
Not even tryna hate on Jaime he just isn’t new “KEN” material imo.
Ed's failed launch really shows how important design is for new characters. He looked so odd that he didn't resonate with new players, especially for someone who's supposed to play a big role narratively in future games. Take Rock Howard from Garou. He's only appeared in a few games but is still considered the future of the franchise with his great design and fun gameplay.
lmao "future of the franchise" and talking about an SNK game. RIP
@@Chanse1989 What's the problem? They're making a new Garou game right now.
@@wdcain1 dead on arrival. SNK is not what it used to be.
@@Chanse1989
But still, the fact it’s happening at all is a miracle.
@@Chanse1989 I can't find anything online saying it was cancelled. It was just announced six months ago.
I have a feeling something bad has happened to neo-shadaloo, that’s why Ed is in the subway getting harassed, maybe he’s trying to fix neo-shadaloo and JP has something to do with it?
No, Ed has really fun gameplay and honestly his design has grown on me. His backstory with Balrog is cool and both of his themes are good
I think he looks really fun in sf6. Lots of combo potential and iam happy he's a pure boxer now
Ed was never a boring character
His concept & look is cool and he had so much sauce in sf v. And that’s looking to be more of the case here in sf 6.
Ppl who say he was boring are boring themselves lol
TopHatGamingMan : I hate Edgy bad boy!
I hope if Balrog comes to SF6 as a character or a back story character 🙏 PLEASE let Balrog do something noble for change in the end let your pride go and be there Ed out of respect 🙏
Balrog will not return but he can be a cameo
@alexspyro563 that's fine 🙂 as long he can be there for him
@@bashirjohnson4120 too be honest I know that shadaloo is destroy but as long as the other kings of shadaloo like fang return as cameos I am fine
@@alexspyro563
TBH I could see Claw as a playable down the line though. Dictator’s dead, Boxer’s kinda covered by Ed as well as more demanded characters like Tiffany Lords or Dudley.
@@austinreed7343 who is Tiffany lords?
Some people who call Ed boring probably praise and hype types like Honda and Blanka. Because nostalgic fans lack good sense and judgement ability when talking about these subjects.
Or they have different opinions from you
the fact that Blanka's skin is green already makes him more interesting and unique than ed
Honesty, it was just the loud haters. Ed has more fans than ppl think especially with the newer fans of Street Fighter. he definitely deserved another chance considering how important he is to the story and any character can make a second comeback
I don't understand how with Ed's backstory, he didn't become the essential character for SF 6. He, in my honest opinion, should have been the new generation Ryu due to both of them fighting the darkness inside them (Hatsui No Hadou vs Bison's Psycho power.
Abel existed
and Manon does now. Capcom hates the french..lol
I honestly think there is some possibility that he becomes a badguy or neo shadaloo get twisted in someway, his theme and harsh lyrics about his mental state, his round win pose laughing like a maniac while psycho power appears from his chest, and the plot introduction from the playstation blog about the remnants of shadaloo planing something and needing his powers to pull it off, its what my intuition tells me lol.
If Capcom keeps dropping banger themes for Ed I want him to continue to come back
I want more dad balrog
I think everyone’s judging ed for the lack of him not being what people want him to be when it comes to being a good character in a fighting video game. and to me if you think that a character isn’t good by how they look or fight how would you know if you haven’t played the character for yourself and given him a try. In my opinion ed is a good fighter I liked him in 5 and I like him in street fighter 6 and if people haven’t given him a chance in 5 they will in 6 because how could you not they made good changes to him this time around so I wouldn’t see why people wouldn’t be interested in playing him a lot more compared to people having their own opinions on him in 5 everybody just needs to stop judging a book by it’s cover or a character by their image.
I love these character story videos. If EventHubs ever wants to do Street Fighter Fan Fic videos, I can voice M. Bison, JP, Balrog, and Zangief!
I'll voice any homeless person including Ryu jk unless need a Sean or Dan I'm game.
You misspelled Abel
dudley died for this
Balrog been better 💯
The redesign definitely improved him a ton. I still would prefer dudley as a boxer tho. Pls capcom
Honestly since Ed came I kinda want balorg now. Think balorg and Ed have a pretty interesting connection that can push each other to goat status if done correctly
Just because Ed is in the game doesn’t mean jack shit in deterring Dudley’s chances of making it in.
I promise you he’ll make it before any of my favorites make it in. If they even make it in at all lol
How do you know he’s been improved have you played the character yet?
@@rances4418 yeah I definitely want balrog as well. I love all boxers
@@josephwiard6695 what a dumb comment lol
New Ed looks COLD!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Real quality here, Ed and Balrog story among the better ones in SF lore.
I am so interested in this version of Ed. I wish that he had taped hands in his hoodie alternate. I didn't care for him in SFV.
This is 100% d tier story telling. But I love Street fighter nonetheless. Edit: the jp aki interaction was kind of cool.
Naw Ed is cool. If you wanna see a really lame character look at Necalli. I'd bet money we will never see him in SF6.
Call in Abigail, that mf sped.
I liked ed since SF4 but the problem was his sf5 thank god they slim him doin that make him more unique.
he was in sf4?
@@FlyingShadow11storywise yes, he was a kid and gets saved by bison After the lab gets destroyed
Before aeven watching the video, I think no Abel is.
Nah necalli is
Abel is freaking awesome
The only one nobody want to see again looks like to be necalli tbh.
They really dropped the ball on him in 5, and he doesn’t suit the modern street theme of 6. There’s no way he’s coming back, and I don’t think even an Ed level glow up could save him if he did
@@archertreloar4806 problem is his "story", background etc ... There's just nothing going on for him, I remember when everyone was excited to find out if he had something to do with the origin of the satsui no hado.
Turns out he's just a jobber that turns into goo.
Rufus, too.
@@MrOrzekergoo boy
@@austinreed7343 you're on the money with Rufus. There's even less to improve off of him than Necalli.
with Necalli, because of the fact he got totally jobber'd out of SFV's story, he could get something like an A.K.I. treatment where a new character embodies his same archetype and fighting style. Rose's SFV story implied G is a villain who could bring about a true doomsday scenario unlike all the past SF antagonists. If another story arc for SF6 comes up that involves G revealing his true nature and becoming an even bigger threat to the world than a revived Shadaloo, then we could have a new Necalli-like character emerge who is the "real deal," unlike the Shadow Falls doomsday prophecy that Necalli came and went for like a wet fart of a harbinger.
wut r ppl smoking.. ed is friggin sick
How is it that Ed represents Germany with his flag being German and his theme song having its lyrics also in German if he was raised and trained by an American?
Because he's part of the neo shadloo, know what other group has neo in it? Neo nazies!
He was abducted...
He’s a clone of Mr. “I’m German and not telling anyone”
So Ed's coming in like....another next Tuesday I think, and then, his story coming into a new era of Street Fighter 6. So 1st World Tour starts with Bosch, Juri and JP to talked about Shadaloo's and 2nd F.A.N.G. returns and also A.K.I. joined for her 1st time in Street Fighter series to talked about experimental subjects of Shadaloo. Well.......right now Ed's returned! And I feel like I wanna play with his NEXT story of Street Fighter 6. PLUS! For the DLC NEW stage of Street Fighter 6 is BRILLIANT! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Next season, I want to see Capcom introduce the rest of the Neo-Shadaloo characters and start to put together the story of SF6.
In my opinion for every season new story modes / world tour / arcade needs a mission so the story when finished can be replayed and easy to understand, like you can met A.K.I. after beating the Metro City novice league tournament? Plus bring back the og future generation.
Bosch aint dead (huffs copium)
Good video like always (Yall aint slick with the dudley ad at the end)
😇
Hoping for Marz myself. Wondering if she’s “Asterisk”
Ed definitely improved since we last seen him hopefully he lives up to our expectations in 6 though I slightly doubt it.
Ed can't be the most boring as long as Luke is still around..lol. But, yeah I also thought he was boring in 5 character wise, but his new attitude and his even more "boxer style" has me very interested. The one character with zero soul in SF6 has to be Manon though, I mean....there's zero character development going on, her move set and play style is fine, but who's ever gonna say "I love Manon the character?"
Im honestly hoping he gets a redemption arc and becomes a good guy. Villian to hero stories are way more interesting imo
I'm going to make some bold predictions. I think for the first time in sf we will not be seeing the original 4 boss's. Nor do I think we will see much if any at all sf3 representation. If we do I think it will be under "guest pretenses", not for the main story and likely towards the end of sf6's lifespan. I predict Faulk will be DLC. Rose or Menat will be DLC. We will probably get at least one or two more characters that are new as DLC, similar to AKI. But no more than that. I think they introduced most of the new characters via main roster to save hype for old favorites. I think we will get at least one Final Fight character as DLC, probably Cody. I think Sakura will be DLC as our only female shoto. C. Viper will make a return as DLC. The one exception to the sf3 rule is Q. Q or G will make a return as DLC. Karin will be DLC. These are the only ones I personally think are guaranteed.
My boldest prediction is we get Bison as DLC in the final year but he returns in a female body. And we get female Bison.
Possible/maybe... I think Mike Haggar is possible as a hype end of season character similar to Akuma. He has been teased for years. The entire Final Fight crew is possible due to where most of world tour takes place. R. Mika is very possible DLC. Zangief does not mention her by name but does make a reference to her. One of the new characters we get could very well be the gorilla. Some sort of monster or beast like character is very likely. I mention it here because I just don't find the gorilla likely - will probably be someone/something entirely new. Seth (female) is possible. Elana is the only character besides Q from sf3 that I think has a chance. Because her fighting style is so unique in sf and her ult could have interesting interactions with drive gauge. If not Q or G a new character represented by a single letter.
A lot of that banks on us getting DLC for at least 3-4 more years and the frequency of releases rises compared to only four in the first year. I'd like to see every character I mentioned + more. However, if it's only for another two - three years and the frequency does not rise and it's only 8 - 12 DLC characters. What a damn disappointment. Especially after the massive rosters we ended up with in sf4 and 5. If it does stay 4 a year, though, I retract what I said about the boss characters. They fit perfectly in this model and will have their own year, even if it's the final year of DLC.
Let's go ed about to be laughing at the haters😂
I wish Capcom was able to move on from Shadoloo plot and Bison + Balrog, Vega and Sagat. Even if I don't support the total refreshing of the storyline and cast like it was done in SF3, that was one extreme approach, I don't support the other extreme which is this over attachment to the og bosses. It makes SF stories less respectable than other fg stories (which I also don't take seriously in general, but there's a hierarchy among them, and SF in in the lower tiers imo).
Another Bison replacment body with the generic blond look... i was indeed hyped for the idea of the kid raised by balrog became a boxer with psycopass powers but still...
Ed could’ve used a better voice actor. He supposed to be German isn’t he? A thick accent would make him way more charming.
Dudley should have gotten this spot.
Ed is a great character an became my instant main aside from Ken. Dude's gameplay in 5 had me consistently playing online matches at a far higher rate than I normally do when new games come out. In Sf6 his gameplay looks tobe the most intuitive fun on both the classic and modern controls side.
Dudley yes, but Balrog must stay out. Ideally forever from now on... Including Vega and Sagat.
I love Ed and am thrilled he is back. 1st character I was hoping for because he doesn't play like any others. Please no Balrog. Fighting against him has never felt good.
I bloody love his story. His emotional story with the boxer omg finally some dev on this dude. He was just some muscle boozer for hired. Who only cared about money. There's nothing wrong with that. But it was the same in every game 😅 it was a nice change. ED fighting style is godly awesome.
Honestly cannot but hope if capcom can to do the ed and deejay treatment to necalli
I want this group is sf6; the Gorilla looks sick🤩 6:13
SF5 really didn’t do Ed much justice, terrible playable character design, and a repeated plot point. His appearances in SF5’s cutscenes and such really makes me think Capcom really was trying to create their own Rock Howard. Instead they played way too safe and reused a concept that should’ve died after SF4 with Abel and Seth.
In terms of story/lore? Yes. Any other reason than that? Not really.
Where is Bison
I'm fine with Ed, but not if it means we end up missin' out on Dudley.
Yes I some who drop Ken for Ed in SFV my guy deserves a second chance
Ed is the new boxer type, Balrog is done lol
Yeah right. Balrog plays completely different. He's charge and his moveset is not even close to eds.
@@2Namii and? Only one time both rog and dudley are in a game together he won't show up here.
@@BKsunstar so we can have 95 shotos but having 2 boxers is out of the questions? if anything dudley wont return because Ed literally has some of his moves. Balrog on the other hand is very much possible.
@@kiddtrigga1 I would say yes, at least so far. they might want even more newbies than returnees this game
@@BKsunstar what does newbies have anything to do with it? A returning boxer cant bring in newbies? lol the logic doesnt make sense
Balrog and Ed should stay together as boxers
The fact that I see them give him some of Dudley’s moves pisses me off. I think he has Dudley’s standing fierce and fire ball duck. I could be mistaken about that one but it looks like it. Season 2 better be a banger filled with the characters we want the most which are Dudley, Makoto and C.Viper are most voted. Having to wait 5 months between 2 characters because Capcom want to be cheap and not make a 6 pack dlc is insane in my opinion. 👀
I cant believe they added ANYONE before Menat.
Considering Rashid was one of them, him I’m not surprised with. I’m more shocked they’re giving Ed another go, he’s one of the last SFV newbies I would pick
C.Viper needed a second chance. Not somebody who counts to 3 😒
He didn't, but they did anyway. Thankfully, he doesn't see to be the collection of boring and/or lame character design choices he was in SFV.
Imho Ed Falke and Necalli deserve a second chance
And decapre.
@@Master_Voorhees972 Decapre story is finished.

JP could potentially manipulate her back into the ring.
@@austinreed7343 The Dolls story is done.
@@austinreed7343 Besides he already has plans trying to use Ed
saying that is crazy when Guile exists
lets talk the opposite, give me Hakan, Jamie's grandma and...evil dan!
You can't spell emo, without ED.
He was the sauce god in SFV, they ruined him in SF6
Yes very boring he was terrible when he was revealed involved in the character just playing sucks just like Luke and Jamie
I liked the video, but being entirely honest, the title feels like complete and utter clickbait. There isn't a single portion of the video that alluded to any sort of discussion about Ed being "boring". Still liked the video, tho.
Should have been base roster cause there is no way in hell I'm giving capcom money for him. There are so many more interesting characters they could have brought back.
all Season 1 characters should've been in the base roster.
@@AnonymousC2218 I kind of agree but SFV was even worse. Capcom didn't learn their lesson after the backlash to SFxT's on-disc DLC, and released SFV too early. Both the story mode and season 1 characters ought to have been day 1 inclusions but they wanted the game out before that was all ready. SF6 feels a similar story DLC-wise, with a small launch roster and the first new additions being characters who felt like they should've been their from the start. Capcom is REALLY taking their time to make sure these characters live up to the high bar set on launch, Akuma is obviously the biggest draw and the wait for him is so long I don't know if he can really live up to the hype.
to be honest, lets all just admit it
hes not cooler than Balrog or Dudley so its just kind of stupid and lackluster to have him exist.
like, Menats lore makes sense because the story says shes a student of Roses's
Falke is like...okay because at least she is her own ark type
but throwing in another boxer to compete with the popularity of Balrog and Dudley just seems like a waste.
Oh when they throw in characters like AKI Kimberly Jamie and Lily somehow its ok?
@@maikayee246 Nk, its not actually.
I think Jamie is a wadted Yun and Yang, Kim could have been Guy and Lily should have been T Hawk.
They are characters with the EXACT same personalities as the originals and just swapped for the sake of being swapped. Manon, JP, and Marisa are the only good new ads.
@@yourstillwithme Even then, I'm only fine with JP. Manon's style and design is lame, and Marisa, while her fighting style is cool, she's way too muscular, looks more man than woman. I think Muscular women can look good but that's not the way to do it.
Only one I guess I'm OK with is Jamie and as I said JP. They really gotta step up their game with the new characters.
@@Manglet762 agree to disagree on Marisa.
5:26 Balrog are more crying than screaming. It was a surprise cuz the image i have from him is a crud and greedy guy but he can be nice with peoples. Falke are kinda sexy
Feel kinda bad for Ken who turn into a punching-bag with Ed's new ultimate move. Hope in the DLC Year 2 Balrog will return
So Rog is going to have to pull Ed back in SF6 because he's Chaotic Good.
All thew newcomers in 5 need a second Chance. Especially the Final Fight and Rival schools characters in general. Just move them into SF
abel is the most boring street fighter character.(he's just a rip off of cammy that is uninteresting outside showing charlie was alive/another failed attempt at making a blond the main character of street fighter when juri & even c. viper where the focus.)
ed to me is more on my least favorite 5 newcomers & would've picked g/laura/menat over him and really don't like the implication m. bison might return as he REALLY shouldn't(he should just be a nightmare geese esque bonus boss) but do like he gave depth to balrog becoming a father to him(there are emotional moments in street fighter more like mk doesn't have that many/is really hokey or tekken between 5-8.) when he was a dumber than rufus brute beforehand even in 5(he helped balrog take the chess piece as zangief would've kicked his ass beforehand.) that him reconciling in his arcade mode ending smiling while in a boxing match was a nice closure and him forming neo shadaloo is interesting seeing a group cleaning up shadaloo's destruction.(compared to resident evil's similar blue umbrella that both feels "why would you name it that?!" with how way horrible umbrella is and feeling like they really didn't know what to the with the story after prematurely killing wesker.)
with how jp and f.a.n.g/a.k.i are going after ed would be cool seeing neo shadaloo wreck his base and him/balrog pummeling jp and f.a.n.g with how ed's definitely taking more off his dad now.(personally would love to see more of his dynamic with falke who outside a few areas just feels like his partner/a way to show the remains of m. bison's essence being destroyed.)
why does he look like dante from dmc???
That title goes to Feng! Ed is OD in SF6!
He was dope in v too
no he didnt would have preferred the shado loo gorilla or a kid teamed up with a shadoloo mate like in guilty gear.. this shit needs to get wird like sf3 n quit trying to so brawling.shit feels street fighter for smash bros..deep but too safe.. give me a boxing vampire hinting at some darkstalkers or something vibe.
I'm glad they gave him a second chance but I wish they had this design philosophy for him the first time around. I would've actually been interested in playing him if he was a pure boxer. I've never liked Rog and Dudley wasn't in 5, so I just played Alex and Gill till I was bored lol
what happened to talk and block?
We did an episode last week! We tend to drop a few TB episodes a month, and one or two essays
I thought he was cool
I'm not even an Ed fan but there's WAY more boring characters than him come on now lol. Laura, Falke, and a bunch of other one off characters are right there
If hes boring then i have no hopd
i miss twink Ed.
ed
NOPE!!!!
Not with that haircut
IMO he's more interesting than any of the new SF6 characters just off fighting style and design alone, that's for sure. SF6 has really dropped the ball with their new characters, being "meh" at best. I have found at least one newcomer in every Street Fighter game to be cool, can't say the same for 6.
Pretty sure I can never like Ed.
*not with that hair*
He's just a glorified plot device to ensure the series main villain always has a foothold in the physical world.
A lot of character's story arcs would be wasted if Bison came back just like that.
Let him skip 6 like he skipped 3.
@@mappybc6097
SF3 did have the Versus series and a few more revisions of Alpha to make up for it. So I hope for a new vs game to put Bison in.
@@mappybc6097no one gives a damn about the story. Bison should be playable
@ouranos0101 "I" don't give a damn about the story. There, I corrected it for you.
Also, no, Bison doesn't have to be playable. If Heichachi, Kazuya, Shao Khan, Goro, Geese, and Rugal can skip games, then so can Bison.
@@ouranos0101
In a new Vs game yes.
They should’ve went with Dudley. People for sure want Dudley as a boxer rep over Ed’s psycho-boxing yamazaki BS
Dudley will come back. Ed being in the game doesn’t mean anything since they don’t play the same.
He has much better shot at coming back than any of my favorites.
Also Ed is a great addition regardless
He doesn't cancel Dudley's chances to return. The game can have more than one boxer and that already happened before.
Short answer: No, Falke was the most boring, but Ed wasn't far behind
Kage is equally boring…
But boring isn’t quite as bad as downright annoying like Rufus
Ed will always be boring
Who tf asked for Ed again, bro?
No!
Balrog and Dudley deserved priority as the Boxer.
Boooo Ed
Steven 'DreamKing23' Chavez: So, yes, Mortal Kombat 1 is getting a reference from... Mortal Kombat 1. Because it's Mortal Kombat "1" so why not right?...............-_-
Yes but not in season 1 , Balrog and especially Dudley are way more interesting and more loved than Ed
I definitely won’t be buying him I just don’t find the character interesting in any way
