Ed, Abigail, Menat - Street Fighter V Character Overviews

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Re-upload since we made a bit of a boo boo with the vroom vroom move overlays 💨

[@taco_sensei]

Super excited for Ed in SF6! I have a feeling he won't be an easy input character anymore, since we have the modern controls now

[@jarodworth1082]

ONE TWO THREE

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Great overview TBS. Finally my boy Ed which imho one of the best newcomer in SF V. He have a banger theme, really fun to play, and badass looking fighting style (boxing / MMA x Psycho Power x Scorpion get over here x Terry Burning Knuckle). His story also pretty interesting to follow, especially his relationship with Balrog and his Neo Shadaloo the opposite of Bison Shadaloo. Can't wait to main him again in SF VI :3

[@MTR_Nara]

Well ain’t you a high def picture of strength. I’m shakin here 😈 Menat is super cool, wish I got better with her 😔

[@lolozo214]

If she doesn't make it to sf6, imma buy 5 just to play as her

[@MrMisfortune]

Abigail is a really funny character in this game. On one hand he looks like the most unga bunga ass character ever made, and by some respects he is, but there's legitimately some pretty high execution stuff, along with VS2 being a build-a-bear combo tool. I've surprisingly had to think when playing Abigail more than half of the roster, which his grotesque physique wouldn't imply. Edit: Oh my god I forgot how ass Ed's theme is in this game

[@aigokeros_pert]

I agree with everything you said except Ed theme. It's a banger

[@pretzels7437]

Its not that I have a problem with Ed's theme or rap in FG in general but it sounds so cheesy imo. Itll take some getting used to cuz I didnt have this issue with 3s funny enough.

[@BronzeAgePepper]

you must LOVE the SF6 character select theme then. I thought Ed's theme was fine but I'm not so keen on "SURVIVALIST, HEROIC AS A TIGERESS" Both are pretty corny but Ed's theme is more tolerable to me. A lot of people will probably disagree because they like the lyrics of the SF6 (it's "your theme" instead of some other character's theme)

[@MrMisfortune]

@@BronzeAgePepper the character select is pretty ass also, but I pretty much never have to hear it because I play only online anyway. SF6 has been odd with its lyrical tracks, I think the main theme is actually hype as hell, but the others are meh at best.

[@TheGamersState]

Wait really? I actually think Ed's theme is amazing and the lyrics really do carry weight when you consider Ed's story. It's probably 1 of the most relateable things in the game.

[@VolpeNV]

It's a crime that Menat with her VT1 is not in SF6, the most unique and underrated fighting character to date.

[@IC2I]

Ikr it's designed to be a level 2

[@RegularBeico]

I wouldn't really call Menat underrated hahahah. Either way I think it's likely she makes it in eventually.

[@awesauce1]

She’s not underrated in the slightest. Cope.

[@MTdaBlacking]

I now realize how influence how much influence Black Yoshi had me on because I could only hear that one Menat video as I was listening to Blasted Salami describing her.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

ABI....GAAAAAIIL VROOM VROOM! He is Really Fun in this game. His VS2 is hilariously good. But JAYSUS MENAT IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL!

[@XoniwabanX]

Great video as always! A complete, informative and fun approach to the game. I want to add that Menat seems a copycat to Viola from Soul Calibur 5, her mechanics, gameplay and even her moveset are similar (both of them has an unblockable attack moving her hips ahahaha)

[@thugaterathanatou4015]

Bonus points for using penultimate!

[@suripto746]

Ed will release this December ❤

[@ebicbarton]

Unfortunately not yet

[@MansMan42069]

Abigail's moveset is what I wish Gigas' was.

[@TheGamersState]

I still remember when Abigail was announced for this game, my gosh the reception was negative.

[@keiroppi2250]

it's so annoying how people are already dismissing ed in sf6 before even seeing how they redesign him..... based only on his gameplay he looks very very cool

[@strayzzfaxz6740]

No Akuma for sf6?

[@SkarjOS]

Since you've already done overviews for Tekken characters, would you ever consider doing something like this just before T8 comes out?

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Street Fighter and Tekken are different games. Tekken is more iterative, whilst each Street Fighter is radically different from the other.

[@shindig9000]

Reupload?

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Yep, small error in the first one.

[@SpectralSound.]

Abigail,one of the worst designs in fighting games history.Fang is not further away.

[@Cezkarma]

Sup early bros

[@Choom89]

Just let this game die 🤣 sabotaged by sony🪦

[@Cezkarma]

Shhh, your opinion sucks

[@MansMan42069]

Saved* by Sony

[@BronzeAgePepper]

@@MansMan42069 saved by the FGC, and Capcom by proxy. They wouldn't have made so many updates if the community didn't stick it out during the hard times. A lot of veterans abandoned the game regardless but there was still enough to salvage at least some of it for the more competitive players. Casuals rightfully abandoned it real quick and didn't come back, but the lessons learned from that are ensuring SF6 will be a fully-featured game from the beginning.

[@MansMan42069]

@@BronzeAgePepper Without the intervention of Sony, SFV would never have been made in the first place due to the troubled development. Without Sony, there would've been no "hard times" for Capcom or the FGC to stick it out, no game to salvage in the first place. Learn your history.

[@hoodedstreetmonk352]

​@@MansMan42069 and partially thanks to Sony, this game was released in an undercooked state as well.
