Does CountBlack have a source? Or just repeating what others have said?

I think Alucard was the first to say Ed isn't next. I believe he said it on the same day of leak according to the guys on UltraChen.

 

[kirblar]

Ed not next? But that third silhoutte is still him, right?

Yeah. Char 4 is GIGANTIC, Char 5 is likely brand new and Indonesian, and Char 6 is Garuda.

 

[Devid905]

Where is the not Ed stuff coming from, exactly?

Because Floe said something on stream the other night that immediately made me believe he might not be next, but I don't know what else is out there.

Well, there was this tweet from Alucard last week: https://twitter.com/313alucarD/status/856975953620332544

 

[Blueblur1]

Abigail's birthday is in October. I wonder if he'll be released then?

(Hey, my Kolin birthday theory turned out to be true after all. lol)

 

[Skilletor]

Does anyone else here just play casuals? I find ranked a bit too stressful.

I played casuals for weeks at a time after every rank up until I got to platinum.

Now I play Guilty Gear.

 

[MCD250]

These character leak mixups are OD.

Imagine Capcom drops a trailer on us
And it's not fucking Ed

After all this hype

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Does anyone else here just play casuals? I find ranked a bit too stressful.

Ever since I hit Ultra Silver I've been playing casuals only because I'm finally able to fight lots of Gold players without the garbage roulette of using battle lounge. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't using their mains so it's not as good practice as I hoped it would be. Once in a while I get destroyed, though.

Even though it's not always challenging enough, I like the lack of stakes when I'm not feeling my sharpest, and it also means I don't have to give any fucks when the connection is bad or people don't rematch or whatever.

 

[MCD250]

Shit, what if it IS Taylor?

 

[Skilletor]

I would be more hype if it wasn't Ed since that's totally what I'm expected now.

 

[stn]

I'm thinking about picking up a real secondary character in this game after Cammy. My choices are:

Necalli
Karin
Chun Li

It also happens to be the case that I have a ton of costumes for these characters too! Lol

Chun-Li. If only because she plays most differently from Cammy compared to the other characters.

 

[Bigg_Oggy]

Does anyone else here just play casuals? I find ranked a bit too stressful.

Once I stopped caring about points it became less stressful. I'm even taking my secondaries into ranked to test how good (or bad) I am with them. Just have to make sure not to drop back into ultra gold or else I lose the ability the play platinum to master.

Did we say Ed? ..we meant.. .. Ned.

 

[mbpm1]

It's fucking taylor if it's not ed

goddamn it

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Simpsons cross over??

 

[Zackat]

A stupid sexy Flanders mod for Mika makes too much sense

 

[SneakersSO]

Are you suggesting that Capcom edited the release schedule?

While all the characters are technically content locked, I don't believe they'd change release order just cause unintentional copy went out on a product description for the CPT Bundle. That would make them have to create a new build with the characters swapped. Makes no sense.

 

[Skab]

What did Floe say?

Paraphrasing, but something to the effect of how he was confused about the Ed leak, because he had been "told something" prior.

I could dig up the time stamp, I suppose.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Shit, what if it IS Taylor?

Or Abigail

 

[TheSpoiler]

Or maybe they are fucking with the FGC because they busted them on Kolin.

 

[Hours Left]

None of the silhouettes look like Ed. The one beside Kolin is a buff dude in a coat. So unless Ed got some Muscle Milk from Balrog, something fishy is going on.

omg a fish man?

Morlock crossover from WoW

 

[Edzi]

If it's not Ed I'm gonna be legit disappointed.

With boxing gloves.

Psycho Grow during fight intro.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Ed either has a stand or he's been growing fast.

 

[Lulubop]

Ed has accelerated aging, he is next. After him is Abigail from Final Fight.

 

[plasmawave]

Maybe he goes bigger when Bison takes over his body.

 

[CountBlack]

If it's not Ed I'm gonna be legit disappointed.

whew lad

 

[Edzi]

whew lad

Why you doing this to us Count?

 

[abstract alien]

Stop talking about Ed, when FANG needs your attention.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Count is fake news.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Count is fucking with you guys.

It wouldn't make any sense for them to pull a character outta the build they have set.

Also

tfw you pressure a Boxer as Bison so much he has to use his v-reversals and block his overhead on reaction when he finally triggers.

I'm going to stop this night on that high.

 

[BenjiGAF]

Simpsons cross over??

New main confirmed

[Omnistalgic]

Remember when Capcom said their balance philosophy was to try and buff the lower tiers before nerfing the top tiers?

Good times.

Remember when Capcom announced this crazy new currency called Zenny?

Good times.

Remember when Capcom announced this crazy new mode called Extra Battle?

Good times.

You brining up old wounds luce...

I can't take it.

 

[Kashiwaba]

You brining up old wounds luce...

I can't take it.

They are making Cammy more robust so they are not lying.

 

[abstract alien]

Count isn't fake, you are all just personified denial.

 

[Xeteh]

They are making Cammy more robust so they are not lying.

Mmmm... that 3 frame air throw... not 3 frame start up or anything but 3 frames of animation.

 

[mbpm1]

I trust count, he knows how to pick bonita

Also fuck this game but getting better is just enough to hook me back in consistently

 

[lucebuce12]

Tekken 7 has Fight Money.

 

[Rymuth]

Maybe he goes bigger when Bison takes over his body.

 

[lucebuce12]

Shit, what if it IS Taylor?

Oh yes.

 

[Femto.]

You guys got it all wrong.

Ed is Rog's stand. The lanky wannabe Eminem look is just a facade to hide his true form.

 

[Edzi]

I've been playing Ranked again and it's boggling my mind how utterly useless v-reversals are. Like... I can't fathom why they put this mechanic in the game if they were going to make it so shitty.

 

[lucebuce12]

Here's SFV's reaction to every style of character I like/how I like to play:

• I like to play grounded.
  
  

  

• I like to play defensively.
  
  

  

• I like to play keepaway with characters that aren't Guile.
  
  

  

• I try to break out of pressure situations.
  
  

  

• I don't like doing random moves, I try to play calculated.
  
  

  

• I like to play reactively.

Online Kens, never change lol I was stuck in bronze for the longest time until I started going to my locals and I'm now Gold. Do not miss it at all.

Not sure how much you play this game, but practice your meaties for those normal DPs. Block when players like that have meter.
