From the blog post:

What makes Ed especially unique is how players perform his special moves. His special moves have simple inputs; they only require simultaneous button presses, repeatedly pressing a button, or holding down a button. Only Ed's Critical Art is done by inputting a traditional motion.

Interesting.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenteresting

...actually sounds weird as fuck and has me kind of worried

 

[Japanmanx3]

Impressed

 

[sixteen-bit]

Went from baby eminem to fist of the north star swole in 2 months

Personal Trainers hate him

 

[BronsonLee]

Is...is he Terry? I see Burn Knuckle and Power Dunk

 

[Diprosalic]

sounds weird.

It would be pretty funny if a hybrid of 2 charge characters wasn't a charge character.

i guess it is funny then because he is not a charge character.

 

[Beckx]

i found my main

Aki in P4A
Little Mac in Smash
Ed in SFV

For people who can't be bothered to do a motion input or hold a charge.

Interesting.

As a pad player I guess I'm out, weird multiple button presses are a pain.

 

[Seiniyta]

Still a bit eh on his design, but his moveset and theme music are rad.

 

[RecRoulette]

YEAH YEAH YEAH UH

 

[SliceSabre]

I'm Meh on the character design but the moveset seems cool.

 

[mbpm1]

I want to hear more of his voice lines, he sounds a little weird

 

[JayEH]

Well I'll hold off judgement on the inputs until I can play him. Disappointed he isn't charge though in any way.

 

[lucebuce12]

I want to hear more of his voice lines, he sounds a little weird

"BOOOM. That's how you start the fight and finish it quickly!"

 

[Lulubop]

That trailer was bars

 

[SolidSnakex]

It just shows why they're going with an entirely original cast aside from Akuma for S2. It allows them to do completely experimental stuff like this with a character. And that's something that fans would lose their shit over if they tried it with an existing character.

 

[Skilletor]

For people who can't be bothered to do a motion input or hold a charge.

Actually sounds like Nelson/Angel in KoF.

Could be amazing.

 

[Salex_]

Yep, this is my new main. Reminds me of Steve.

In before everyone says new main then drops him after a week

lol

 

[Beckx]

I want to hear more of his voice lines, he sounds a little weird

"a little"

 

[BiggNife]

I was meh on the design but he looks fun as hell to play. Maybe this will get me back into sfv.

 

[yella]

Will give him a try during the beta. Looks really cool.

 

[Lights and Waves]

What the fuck is this garbage rap music?

 

[RecRoulette]

Yep, I remember the chaos over them changing Vega's inputs.

 

[Numb]

Is...is he Terry? I see Burn Knuckle and Power Dunk

also Rog,Bison,decapre,Jonathan and Scorpion

 

[ElFly]

maybe the song was a little too loud in the trailer

looks ok. dunno if I can do multiple button presses on a pad tho

 

[DaytimeWhiskey]

Is...is he Terry? I see Burn Knuckle and Power Dunk

Yup I'm in

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Holding buttons is such a pain still going to have to see how they have him .

Actually sounds like Nelson/Angel in KoF.

Could be amazing.

Yeah remind of some KOF guys

 

[PK Gaming]

I still don't like his design, but the moveset is solid

Hoodie alt for life

 

[Sinatar]

I uninstalled SFV and haven't gone back to play it since they installed a root kit on my PC, but Ed looks pretty damn fun so I might jump back in.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Man he looks awesome.

Pretty cool that we can check him out for free in the network test this week.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Steve Tekken vibes weirdly enough

 

[wamberz1]

From the blog post:

wuuuuuut. Huh.

 

[Steroyd]

Yoooooooooo! Fans self

Watch me like how he plays but not enough to use him other than once a blue moon.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

The input thing sounds like "Accessibility" which makes no sense for a paywall character for a year old game.

I'm hoping instead it's got solid game design mechanics behind it.


But I doubt Capcom at this stage.

 

[Tizoc]

Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I like what I seen
HE HAS THE POWA DUNK!

 

[Hyun Sai]

Huh oh, the input thing sounds like a nightmare for pad users, I wonder why they took that road...

Otherwise, cool moveset and gameplay, but hideous design and costumes. The head and hat are especially awful.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if they learned some stuff from 2D Steve in SFxTK

 

[Angelus Errare]

From the blog:



Sounds like Capcom wanted their own version of Rock Howard, guess this is the closest thing for Bison to getting a son.

He's still nowhere near as cool as Rock though.

It doesn't, though. Nelson and Angel are two of the most complicated characters in a 2D fighter, and have a very similar sounding system.

Hype

 

[Tankard]

Very nice.

 

[Ephemeris]

I love this alt outfit so much

Well Capcom is trying some new input types in Marvel Infinite, Ed here might be a way for them to live test some of their ideas on the public.

"What makes Ed especially unique is how players perform his special moves. His special moves have simple inputs; they only require simultaneous button presses, repeatedly pressing a button, or holding down a button. Only Ed’s Critical Art is done by inputting a traditional motion."

uhhh.... wow, this sounds great for someone like me and others who struggle with SF's more traditional inputs.

I want more information about this! Also good on Capcom to keep making changes like this.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Ok, I did not expect him to be a weird psycho-powered kickboxerish fighter. His gameplay looks fucking awesome and his design looks a million times better in game, I'm sold.

 

[Papacheeks]

He uses Psycho energy, is he the son of Bison by any chance? Or just someone who trained under him?

 

[crowphoenix]

That is a jaunty hat!

 

[jwhit28]

Why would the button thing be hard for pad users? It doesn't seem like TAP causes too many problems.

 

[Tizoc]

lol, Capcom done copycatted Angel and KoF 14's boxer's move inputs.
