Yes! A lot of the changes are centered around nerfing whiffs from Ed not his actual advantaged situations or flow-chart. He's still that same guy. One thing to mention though is you can't just press crLK anymore since they made it whiff a bit more and the advantage went down. I have faith that Capcom will unnerf that but we'll see.

I’m a juri/Marisa main learning ed and I’m struggling too lol

I think Ed was one of the harder characters for me to understand. Something you can do to have some fun in the mid range is to do a LK flicker to get them to jump after they block a couple and then anti air. People hate that. Since you used to play Marisa, you don't have the amazing experience of having low hits confirm into full combos, I recommend using crMK or crMP in situations where you literally couldn't do anything like that before with Marisa! It really opens up his game and you can see why people get upset against Ed

I think what I had some issues with initially is using more fireballs than fake ones. If you need any tips or have any specific questions I'd love to help!

The double bomb, no. I think they fixed that; however, all the other pressure scenarios work. Word of advice though, even if you decide to put them in a block string after applying the bomb, end with psycho mine and you'll be plus again. Too often bison players will end with scissors and give up their advantage (on block).

@OneTimeHero got it, thanks!

Yeah I'm going to make the new ones slightly longer so people can read

If you don't have stand medium punch, I would consider pressing stand lk. The timing will be different but you'll be safe. Otherwise, I might also just consider mixing that lk up and doing stHP which I believe you might have on modern for sure.

Looks like someone’s bad at the game 😂

A lot of the better players focus more on the sequences after combos than the combos themselves. That said, I would stay away from doing rekka combos (one ones that end in drink) and instead combo from crLP to the HK Arrow. From there you can either pressure them or take a drink. Let me know if that makes sense!

I think that Manon has a lot of trouble against Ed. Learning how Ed plays can really help you understand where your options are. In general, if you can react to the disrespectful stuff that Ed does you will win more. For example, if he does a stHP into a OD Flicker, you can DI in between for a big punish. Ed players sometimes just throw these attacks out there without regard for what might happen if the opponent isn't asleep.

@@OneTimeHero oh ok. Thanks for the tip. yea never really played 5 so I know nothing about the matchup. Got blown up every time I fought him.

I have been trying to not call them 'Fierce' anymore but it slips out! This is OLD terminology from when fierce/roundhouse were used to describe HP/HK. The game has changed so much but some of this old language stuck on me.

Since I play both characters I'll say that Ed has a lot of trouble because of his anti airs. The advice I have is to anti air the obvious dive kicks that come from here stHK range. In this match you'll want to get her to the corner as fast as possible if you can do id do cancels into strike throw pressure and try to get her to make a mistake early. Midscreen fake fireballs, using killrush (back), can keep them guessing a bit while you punish them walking forward. If you really good, try to stand where they are going to back spin fist and jab then react to them doing back spin fist and hit stMP or crMP to interrupt. If this doesn't make a ton of sense, I can try to find some replays for you to look at but that's the best I can do quickly at the moment.

I think I'll come out with a dreamless sa2 video based on this comment!

@@OneTimeHero and imma watch that one too <3

I meant OD DP or OD uppercut

I think playing Ed is actually kinda difficult if you are coming from Guile. Ed's fireballs are pretty punishable compared to Guile's because it's a 2 step process. Try to do a 'fake' fireball first, then do an anti air with crHP or PsychoUppercut (LP). Flicker is a pretty dangerous move since you might get jumped in on as well. The key to using this move is anti-airing them a lot making them desperate on the ground and then doing 1 or 2 flickers (blocked). If you notice they jump after the first blocked flicker, use that, and look for another anti air for at least 10% damage. Hopefully this makes sense, I've fallen behind on producing some follow ups and I pray this will change soon.

@OneTimeHero yeah a main thing I'm experiencing now is his dp I never can land it I guess guile spoiled me seems to have precise timing and positioning. The flicker pokes are a godsend. I never really learned how to combo honestly amd it seems essential on ed with low damage. Ty for the tips.

I think this is the long-term strategic way to play Cammy. You can sprinkle some hooligan's in here or there but the way Punk plays Cammy allows for stability. Great comment here!

You have to charge before you press jab. Hope that helps. I think it's part of the reason they are getting rid of charge characters

@@OneTimeHero a shame too, seeing how drive would work with balrog's style of play for be interesting

You have to micro walk into a jump to get it to work but yeah you can whiff if timed improperly. Thanks for highlighting!

I think the context matters a lot, so I appreciate this addition. It's good to have alternatives for drive gauge management especially if your LV3 burns them out and you want to conserve the rest of your meter. Appreciate the comment!

oh yeah what I meant by this was the HK is so good you can anti air with it borderline on accident. In general though, I would rely on crHP, Shoryuken, and b.HK (if needed).

@@OneTimeHero makes sense. thanks. I realized that

Yeeeeee

I really appreciate that! I'm trying to up the standard for how these are made (although they take me longer..)

@@OneTimeHero I know it takes longer to write a well structured video, but it is worth the investment as I personally see the difference. Also you'll be proud watching the video you made few years later!

what is Unix's standard editor? lol?

We KNEW it would happen :)

I think I'm going to increase my voice volume - I got this constructive criticism from a few others also! Will do

Been thinking about making a fundamentals or definitions video so you aren't the only one!

Sorry about that I don't like to make mistakes 😕. I appreciate the good words, I hope to have an additional video soon for Ed along with other characters in the future.

I'm recording today finally and publishing soon

No problem glad to help!! Are you interested in some s2 changes?

That's great to hear!! I can't wait for Terry

Let me know if you have any questions!

@@OneTimeHero i do. So i started playing him today, and im not sure how to properly play neutral as his buttons are kinda weird. Some are projectile like ( cr mk cr hp, St HK, St mk) and others seems shorter ranged like his jab, st hp and so on. How should neutral be playerd? Should i lame it out until i get in? Also do you have examples of proper pressure? I feel after im done doing jabs on block, i lose my turn. Not sure if another normal would be better for block strings.

Thank you! Glad you liked the style!

Glad you enjoyed it!
