HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK??? - Why Ed EX Psycho Upper is a good option there

[@F.Hakeem89]

Till this day I still get caught by this Dork's EX.

[@december12twok12]

The way he says upper makes it that much worse.

[@kumaSOevl]

ah yes, the ED special

[@JonJacobJingleheimer]

Nah, the Ed special is dash up (or double dash up) EX upper

[@kumaSOevl]

JonJacobJingleheimer it’s evolvingggg

[@alfonsomendez576]

The special ED

[@OscarG787]

That accursed Ed special! Everyone’s worst nightmare. 🤣

[@adamtideman4953]

Ed players are degenerates

[@idk72.]

I remember once I was playing gill against ed, it was last round, he had 1hp and ice state, I had three bars, so I decided to use seraphic wing to end the match, then he reacted to the freeze screen and used ex psycho upper and it OUTPRIORITIZED MY SERAPHIC WING THAT OUTPRIORITIZES ALMOST EVERY OTHER CA IN THE GAME, after that I didn't play for almost three days procesing what happened in that one match

[@saltyAaron]

Bruh 🤣

[@Un1234l]

Not out prioritize, it out invincibled SW. Invincible for longer.

[@idk72.]

@@Un1234l I was still kinda salty about that when I wrote this comment but yeah I know his invulnerability outlasted mine, still it's very weird that he just casually standed inside the CA

[@lordbasketboi9998]

Oh hi ;)

[@lordbasketboi9998]

@@idk72. im an ed main but i understand how bs that move can be

[@shmixedNshmooved]

HI-FIGHT NO!! DONT EXPLAIN IT TO THE ED PLAYERS! THEY DON'T NEED THIS KIND OF POWER!

[@garminbozia]

They would've done it anyways

[@lordbasketboi9998]

I mean its literally like -20 on block

[@almiser]

If you think Ed players don't know this, you're delusional at best. It's quite the opposite way here, he explains the possibility to the people who don't understand that.

[@tcole2475]

Honestly this didn’t really need explaining. It’s invincible but punishable dp not really too complicated

[@ocost3000]

Urien has a slow invincible as well. So it's not too surprising Nemo picked up on the possibilities Ed has with his own.

[@MugnifyRTS]

This video should be called “EDDY UP, UPPerCut That Fool”

[@izs6946]

ED's uppercut is basically Shoryuken with less risks

[@somesandman8328]

The invincibility on EX psycho upper is maddddd goooooodd

[@JonathanRiverafrickinnice555]

I've been wondering this all week, thanks for the breakdown!

[@koolk2115]

He's Special Ed. He's says to himself, "I got it made!"

[@scalpel6096]

And the Phenom is like..WHO DOES THAT! xD love your work man :D

[@Frosty4024]

The music...So relaxing...

[@devencoreas8383]

As a Ed main I am so glad to know this

[@Tk421WTF]

You should show how bait/shimmy can also apply as a similar option here!

[@anarchymatt]

hate ed, hate gill, hate urien, love nemo. This cursed existence

[@CallsignJoNay]

2:49 Doesn't Falke have a super slow ex reversal too? I didn't think this was unique to Ed.

[@erickrodrigues3434]

Against Ed it's so slow that you can whiff a jab on his startup and still punish, that can't be done against Falke

[@CallsignJoNay]

@@erickrodrigues3434 Oh yeah FAT says 12 frame startup. So very slow, but not as slow as Ed.

[@29once]

Urien's ex headbutt is kind of slow too. A delaled throw with "standard" timing will work against most invincible reversals, but will get hit by these kind of moves. You can do a meaty jab and then block instead as Erick said.

[@CallsignJoNay]

So I guess what HiFight was saying at 2:49 is that only Ed's is slow enough to forward jump away from.

[@AaronRotenberg]

@@erickrodrigues3434 Yeah, meaty jab followed by blocking is actually the preferred wakeup option against Ed if you're worried he's going to wake up EX Psycho Upper. You get a punish on him for that and it also beats wake up buttons, throw, backdash, and jump and leaves you safe on block, delay tech/buttons, and V-Shift.

[@sourapple7831]

He do be doing ex dp on all the corner wakeups earlier on stream though

[@marcusmeira5594]

Dude, EVERY Ed player in silver and lower does this all the time. They have no idea why, but they keep doing it.

[@AgitoBlues]

Ed player in Silver, can comfirm. When in doubt, EX Upper.

[@mr.p9240]

You cant V Reversal the first hit on block?

[@frozealex3069]

also has oki on midscreen

[@MetsCatDad]

Nemo Mating Call

[@mohammedosman4902]

Did Nemo just turn Ed into a viable character?!

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

You never watch Infiltration or Trashbox using Ed in a tourney did you? I suggest watch Red Bull Kumite LCQ 2019 and EVO Japan 2020.

[@lexclouds7562]

Ahaha lol!

[@mohammedosman4902]

@@thepuppetmaster9284 will do. Only seen Trashbox play as Birdie and Infil as Juri

[@nsldsfv1202]

Pretty sure the patch did that

[@d12g6]

nah, since last season he's good. with the new buffs people finally has started to see him more.

[@craigdodman6637]

Nemo's reactions will always be top tier

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

It’s cool to see pros like Nemo playing Ed. And yes EX-Upper is a good option although it have bigger risk than reward because it is unsafe on-block and not hard to bait it.

[@pedrofischerii]

nice science

[@d12g6]

well, the answer "just block" is a meme, but in this case were ed becomes the mixup boy, is better to take the throw than eat lots of damage, because remember that he can v-trigger2 that ex upper

[@Cra3ier]

Sorry, but for the sake of better videos in the future, “it takeS” (I love your tutorial videos!)

[@co7897]

He basically stole Cody's SF4 EX Zonk cheese.

[@Speedygi81]

Did Nemo really know this tech or was this accidental ?

[@HiFightTH]

He most likely knows that it can beat a lot of stuff. And Nemo is the kind of player who loves taking risk too.

[@GreyMASTA]

I mean he has to be Top 5 in the World, so...

[@CallsignJoNay]

I knew it and I'm a scrub, so I guarantee Nemo and everyone at high level knows how Ed's reversal works.

[@neoillogic]

i would suspect anybody above diamond or super diamond would know???

[@sourapple7831]

I watched this on stream and he is intentionally doing this even just on normal corner knockdowns

[@CommunitySkratch]

Urien frames

[@Native2087]

Imagine losing with this music playing

[@mappybc6097]

Only Nemo could find a way to turn the worst feature of EX Psycho Upper into an advantage without even being an Ed main.

[@Un1234l]

I mean if you have decent game sense of platinum or higher you could figure this out

[@tcole2475]

Honestly I figured this out low gold

[@omaislindodesantos]

thx, know i can play him better!

[@mrhamsdoc644]

👺

[@bopbop076]

Smash character like Ed shouldn't even be in SFV, CAPCOM just dumb down his game too much. SF6 will have auto combo and one button super, I'm calling it.
