I know it's kind of a running joke to say that "[character] needs this [busted move/mechanic]" but in this case I think it might actually be true.
Basically I'm trying to say that I think Ed might suck.

it wouldn't be...it would be the best season hands down, actually. Popular characters, returning characters with VERY unique play styles, and come on, Sagat!!!
It's too good to be true, which is why I don't believe it...

Man, I really hope that Sakura makes it into SFV soon. My girlfriend is a huuuuuuge Sakura fan (she even cosplays her) and the only thing holding her back from getting SFV is the absence of her favourite character. She'd probably get so excited if Sakura were confirmed.

F.A.N.G also has a throw loop in the corner. It's just much more difficult to get correctly as compared to a throw -> st.lk -> throw that Ken has or this dash forward -> throw that Ed has.
And I think all 3 of them are utter bullshit in a game like this.
That's cool, I'm gonna be playing Sakura too if she gets released!
Just hope her fireball is at least halfway decent.
EDIT: Also what mbpm1 said.
we know they didn't do that for the corner lol
see: rashid in the corner, ken
showoff
not as embarrassing as announcing a trailer they already announced lol

Then why doesn't Ryu still have a throw loop in the corner?
Because Ryu had to die for our sins.
only some characters are so lucky
kolin doesn't get one unless your opponent is a bad and doesn't quickrise
only in v-trigger and you just mash them

That sign above their heads is oddly fitting.

We took this pic during Toronto's Anime North convention last weekend, and a nearby Boston Pizza restaurant had changed their sign to make it more appropriate for the occasion
I really enjoy these new Trials, I've been trying to clear as many as possible before Tekken 7 drops. Some are flashy, some are practical, some are familiar, and many are quite challenging.
How the hell am I supposed to build enough charge for Chun's trial 8 though lol

I'm glad eds throw loop is easy. Nash had one in s1 where you had to walk forward 2 frames and Juris you gotta walk forward two frames but it also worked midscreen so I guess it was alright that it was more difficult.

Because I don't like any of them except Sagat and Q, and neither of them are anywhere near the top of my wish list.
Awful for me, personally.
I need at least one character to be really excited about, and that list has nothing. And given how slowly these characters come out due to all the delays, that would pretty much obliterate my enthusiasm to keep up with the game, unless Sagat or Q has something that blows my socks off.

The biggest problems I have with the game are that of balance.
Things that can easily be fixed, but won't. And that's what's frustrated me since mid-2016.
But the promise of Sakura.....

As in "Heathcliff"
He just did good job with research. It's not that hard to research to find some information once people made the name for themselves. He could prove himself when Song Bird get announced in the future.
You still need the opponent to take a slide crush counter, not block, mash button and get crit, get stunned, guess wrong and eat command grab, and still not die after all those efforts. Yeah, ridiculous, but not in the way we think lol.
Vega may be a solid mid tiers now though.

Ed players are constantly terrified of finishing combos when they're not right next to there opponent. He better get a throw loop to compensate for that.
As for Ryu, man I'm still really salty about the change to his throw. He can't land a meaty normal mid screen and even in the fucking corner can't he get a meaty throw. Seriously if you're facing a Ryu player just keep blocking until they start going for throws. You'll lose some life but you get a fresh start because he can't do jack after that(mid screen anyways). Well actually there is one meaty option, EX fireball. I've used it a few times because some players I faced were always waking up with buttons even though I couldn't actually reach them with my own. But yeah it's not the best idea in the world to blow meter just to apply meaty pressure when you don't even get to be right next to your opponent.

They never said they would be removing throw loops.
Capcom literally said:
"Even after the adjustments, there will be some characters who can loop throws"

Come on man, st. LK is back. What kind of buff does a shoto gotta get to be invited to the low-mid tier club?
I just played an interesting ranked match... afterwards I realized I'd forgotten to put the connection thing on 4-5 and I guess I got stuck with a 3 bar.
I mean I lost obviously but I feel I didn't get a decent match with this person who I'm thinking might have beaten me anyway but still.... Ryu mirror match , and it felt like I was playing against someone from 1/2 a second into the future because stuff was hitting before it was animating on my end. I figured, eh what the hell I'm a 700 LP scrub and it only cost me 25 points to lose so I accepted the rematch and the connection didn't get better. I was left with jumping around like a fool mashing my light attacks because anything else was getting eaten by the connection issues.
I did a few of the trials as well, made it up to 4-5 with Ryu, Rashid and Juri. I also took a look at Karin 6 because my friend had told me it took him 45 minutes and yeah.... EX orochi into EX tenka into EX orochi ... I mean why on earth would you use 3 bars for that instead of the more typical hit confirm- VT - CA that does twice as much damage ? is it just a total style combo ?

I can guarantee people are going to get annoyed by this character very soon. Ugh people will rue the day they asked for Vega to be buffed.

Be named Ken.
Not sure if the guy is just trying to entertain the "leaker" or not, but someone in the /r/kappa thread is backing up the Season 3 characters from the supposed Reddit leak.

Well, don't fret. I'm sure there will be other things you may enjoy. And who knows, maybe someone even further down the line will be more to your liking (yes, more is planned after next year).

Man it's like everyone has some gimmick. Something safe on block that is purposely there to make you feel it's "your turn" and then out come the 50/50 on wakeup.
I'm Ken, so I'm supposed to get you in the corner and 50/50 u with throw
Alex just kinda spams his lariat and then see if you can react with a dash throw, rinse repeat
Vega is doing all sorts of stuff with his new frames
Mika mika's you
Laura Laura's you
and it's not about taking L's either. I'm losing versus good Sims, Juri, Bison (he's scary but at least pretty straightforward) etc...hmmm...was having fun initially but I'm really not sure I want to dedicate a lot of time to this. It's so 50/50 it's like working on defense only applies to certain characters and it's better to just have an absurd Oki game.

If you're getting hit by Alex's lariat and dash ins repeatedly, it's your fault/you're getting outplayed. If I get in close enough to hit you with it, I deserve that mixup.

Look hawt
Truthfully
Fuck your head up I don't care how in control you think you are in, a counter will fuck up your shit
Kolin is lowkey one of the best characters in the game, and her powerlevel has yet to be used to full potential.
Just time your jump properly. You can also cancel the last hit of j.mp if that makes it any easier.
No safe shit with Birdie that gives you 50/50.
edit. oh sorry, cancelling bullhead into vtrigger on block gives you 50/50.
