Mentioned it in the video but we hit the 500 subs goal on twitch. Thanks to everyone who's been coming through and supporting, the full comprehensive AKI guide video has officially begun production (but like I said expect it to drop after the big balance patch so it isnt immediately outdated).
I played Ed back in SFV, his simple inputs and gameplan made him a pretty good way to learn how to play Street Fighter. Now that I've gotten better at street fighter, it's kinda cool that my "starter" character has so much more depth
If you're reading this, Broski- you don't need to hold the HP for the full 69 frames to get psycho knuckle. You can half charge it and it'll still come out
As an SFV Ed main he has yet to click with me mechanically, but Capcom hit it out of the park with his redesign. Ed matured his mechanics as well by finally synthesizing what he learned from boxer w/ his inherited Psycho power. I guess its time for me to learn a harder character than Marisa, who Ive been playing while I waited for him to come out.
You and I have been doing the exact same thing lol. I’ve mained Marisa while waiting for Ed, too. Unfortunately for me, the more complex the character is, the more I’m exposing myself as a fraud, as it turns out. I need the simpler inputs/character/gameplan to do well. I think I might just suck at SF…
I love that you usually dodge SF6 music, but for Ed you got his theme going. I guess this means we agree his theme is FIRE and much better than the rest in this game !
I think he's mid to high tier but not top. He's good at his space control shenanigans but he has too severe weaknesses to be top. More importantly, Ed is cool, Ed is fun, and he doesn't seem to be buggy (although I've seen a couple of cases of people falling out of his level 1)
I have to remind myself to never tech throws in this game, I get blown up for teching more than anything in SF6. Maybe it's a me problem lol but im always tempted to tech on wakeup.
@@pretzels7437 throw looping or delayed throwing is such a good option I expect them to use it more than they do and I end up teching as they jump so often lol.
I have a Master Jamie & D5 Luke but for whatever reason Ed just CANNOT click with me. I wanna make him work but he’s just so weird I’m never using the right tools in the right situations. Respect to anyone that’s able to get him to Master THIS quickly. You have to be damn good at SF to do that.
I was feeling the same, any was getting really frustrated, but I grinded out 1000 games and my main takeaway is...plat players LOVE to jump/DI (I completely forgot after playing in masters so long...) and also, his crouching LP you can't DI from which feels super weird. I'm winning like 70% now though in d2. Once you really understand your no.1 priority is baiting jump/DI, he becomes super strong zoner
I would consider myself an Ed main in sf5. However, I didn't start playing sf5 til after sf6 was already announced and the last time I played sf before 5 was sf2 super turbo at a friends house during high school. I should also note I picked Ed up in sf5 due to his ease of use and as such I play modern in sf6. So if you want to know what a sf5 Ed main thinks about his sf6 rendition I can hook you up. But again, it's coming from a modern player who didn't spend years in sf5. He isn't the same character. That is for sure. But I find him to be a more enjoyable character. I also think his game plan, strength's and weakness's are more well defined and pronounced. Ed is listed as a long range character and controlling mid-long range space is what he wants to do. And he can do it well. He can bait so many options out of an opponent. He has a ton of tools to use in the neutral to keep him hard to read to enforce this. His poor jabs and awkward jump ins are his clear weakness's. It's so funny to me now all these Ed fans and players who were hiding away. Every other match is vs an Ed right now. When I don't think I ever played a mirror online in sf5 during nearly the year I was playing. But... I won't be able to main or even play Ed in the foreseeable future in sf6 though. My daughter, who also likes to grind some ranked, will not let me play anyone who is "her character". Which is any boy character she thinks is cute or girl character she thinks is cool I can't play. It is what it is. I remain a modern Ryu main because he is old and not cool.
To answer your question as an SFV Ed main, Broski… I don’t think I’m going to be maining him unless something clicks soon. Like you said, completely different character with a completely different kit and gameplan. What I liked about SFV Ed is I could focus on my gameplan and reactions without being mentally overwhelmed with making sure my inputs were perfect every time. That’s what I liked about SFV Ed: his simple inputs. And, no, I don’t like modern controls. I’m too used to the standard SF 6-button control scheme. Been following competitive SF since SSF4.
As an Ed main from SFV he's fairly similar in gameplan. Fireball+AA+charge h punch etc... Just flicker and cr med kick are real different. I think the changes make him real strong in this game at mid rng.
I think they should have kept the “1!2!3!” Voiceline for the psycho blitz. Embrace the meme. the move is completely different now and what he said while using it is not what made it annoying, the move being annoying is what made the voiceline annoying and it just feels weird he doesn’t say it anymore. Edit: Also he says “think fast”when he uses DI which is exactly the same thing Juri says and it bugs me, like give him a unique line lol. Otherwise I like his design from what I have seen so far.
I think Ed is a character that is going to keep climbing tier lists as people play him. Ed in theory has every tool, but strange versions of them. Excellent anti-airs in terms of damage potential, but hard to actually use. Good drive rush, but also a character that excels in midrange with excellent options to stop drive rushes. He is clunky to use though and his 2LP is a crime that should be judged infront of Den Haag. My biggest problem is that his defense completely sucks, but system mechanics are so strong in SF6 that ED could become the HC of SF6. I call that without changes he will be considered top tier, but will have some polarizing matchups and is very volatile.
@@Angel7black Correct. Adding to my reasoning: HC in Strive was a very dominant character who was uniquely strong on offense and had very unintuitive play against him and for ED I kinda feel similar that the opponent needs to know more about you than you need to know about them to even have a chance.
Ed's drive rush is definitely not good. I think it sucks ass honestly. Not only just the range and speed, but also the normals from it are soo bad in terms of advantage and pushback..
he doesn't have every tool though, in theory or practice. he lacks an overhead, for instance. he has no fast reversal option. no regular EX fireball to chain to from pokes that naturally beats DI. etc etc
Ed has been destroying me in ranked, but I've been winning almost every other matchup. Maybe it's always been there, but I noticed last night that win streaks seen to generate RP multipliers, I was getting 50->100->150+ before it'd reset after losing to Ed. Maybe it's just me, but the Ed/Juri matchup feels rough
Yeah it makes sense that MU would be rough, Juri gets her pressure pretty much exclusively from horizontal movement and Ed not only has a decent fireball but a lot of fast strings to stop approaches
I'm an Ed fan, and I think his new kit is super cool to watch. I am also pretty disappointed by it because I thought his design philosophy was so great in 5, and they really did a complete 180 on his accessibility. It vibed with me a lot and modern controls feel like an awkward replacement. I'm hoping I'll like playing him when I get some time! But I can't really say I do yet.
From using Ed a lot, initially thought he would be really good, now I think if he does turn out to be really good, it will be because his lvl2 super makes up for the character. I think he's alright, very unorthodox and not typical. Normals are really good, damage is alright it's not that good.. flicker right now is really good but a lot of flicker stuff is so fake and DIable, or parry to ruin the mixup. Eventually that stuff will be exposed. My main issue right now is, how hard it is to actually interrupt fake pressure with jabs because his 4f jabs don't reach properly, this is coupled with he doesn't really have a safe special he can cancel into properly. If he does flicker, that's DIable, and if he does the fireball, that is safe at-3 but no range so if anything that's a huge risk, its like-20 if it whiffs. Also stand MK TC suffers from zangief chop syndrome, it whiffs a lot. The antiairs are brutal with the character. For a character that's supposed to be poking with the normals and the flickers, it is very hard to antiair with the character and honestly stop really dumb shit in general. Like just stopping really obvious stuff is a challenge with Ed that I think any other standard character would quickly shutdown, maybe that will change. He's hella fun, maybe too challenging for his own right. I'm interested to see what kind of stuff people come up with with lvl2, as of right now it's definitely hella good maybe even better than lvl3 because you build a ton of super and drive gauge back, basically pays for itself.
@@clarissa1643 I know about the back sway, from certain normals and spacings that is possible, but I'm talking about from closer or other normals, or even just OD, like random DIs will completely just beat it. Even doing stand LK TC, which I guess you're supposed to use and instead of jabs, even that loses to DIs lol
@@clarissa1643 I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about, you can't really poke with flicker from normals that aren't stand HP, crouch MK because there is a significant risk of getting hit with a DI.
Everyone says he plays completely diff than sfv ed, but he still shares a ton of similarities lol most people that day that, didn't really play old ed. He's just much more complex this time around, but he'll fill a similar role in the meta imo.
I really liked him in 5. I can't put my finger on it, but I don't really like the direction they went with his design in 6. It's a neat take on his kit, but there's something special about being able to turn off my brain for a few seconds, letting the unga take over and then sprinkling in sequences in between that make me look like I'm a competent player.
IMO his game plan was a lot more straightforward in V and his combo routes were pretty simple, but he did have some quirky tools that gave him some charm. He was very comfy to play, I think that's a really underrated thing about his design back then. SF6 Ed is really cool, but he's definitely more sweaty.
@@nickkiller-0710 Don't get me wrong, I think his new design is great, but it's just not for me. I tried my best to come up with a word i wanted to use to describe his playstyle, but comfy sums it all up. For me, Capcom lost the plot with his design, but I appreciate taking big swings like they did.
i tought the highest rank you could get out of placement wath diamond 1, did that change or was it always the case that you could place in high diamond straight away ? (i wouldn't know obviously)
I feel the same way he looks cool and strong but at the same time I feel like when people figure him out he'll be easy to deal with, level 8 CPU has some pretty simple ways to completely nullify the character.
His jump ins do suck and the no overhead hurts but uh no reliable anti air?? Invincible dps for three ranges, cr mk works for far out jumps, and st hk is pretty good too.
@@AaronW0885The main issue for his DPs is that they are slow. So if you are slightly late with your reactions then they will block your DP on landing. This is mostly noticeable on cross cuts.
He is pretty strong, his normals are okaish, with flicker punches being very good, fireball game is also alright His damage is mediocre, but his pressure is high and he can combo out of anti airs so instead of doing 2 big combos you do 3-4 smaller ones with medium investment of drive/super bars His + frames make threatening guess situations and his movement off of killer rush can wiff bait so many long range pokes = he is pretty damn good AND saucy
Fought an Ed that tried to fully engage me in a fireball war, it wasnt until i started using sonic blade I realized he can't hang in that regard, still no idea on his strength, hes weird
With good timing, he can cancel out your projectile with the starter and also send out his own after by that point he's won most of the screen in the fireball war and he has a slow moving OD projectile He's not great at fireball wars but there might be potential for people to get good at them with Ed
yeah guile has to be one of his worst matchup in the game even fighting a silver guile who's just holding down back you literally can do nothing but wait, and it's all due to him not having a standing overhead you don't have the drive rush into over head check
It's time like this week, that i am happy to fight a ken/luke/ jp; and NOT 5+ Ed in a row. By the way, all you Ed user, you will eat a DI everytime you do hp into od grab move when you are playing a capable player. Stop abusing stupid tactics.

As an Ed main coming from 5, I REALLY love the new Ed, and I want to think he is top 1 because I think he's really cool :)
The Aki player getting pretty solid Aki from Broski is the highest Aki honor you can get :)

Ed’s throws are so cool. He just grabs you, hits you with a light strike, and then send you flying with a hook to the face.
As someone who played ed in 5 he's still cool it actually took more time to get used to his new dash than it did any of his normal moves lol
should i do the "commenting for engagement" bit again? who knows. Either way, good stuff broski.
