When I saw the thumbnail I thought the title was referring to Edmond Honda

[@kingofdragons7]

​@@PoojaMan64why would anyone refer that degenerate?

[@ΚρανίΩ]

@@democaf7192you can't patch this because the only way they can do it is if they make it so medium or heavy blitz don't combo into lvl 2. the only reason why this works is cause the first hit of those moves pull in to make the other hits reliably combo so removing that would make the blitzes drop sometimes even if you hit it. idk if you understand what i mean but yea if they nerf this it wont be in the conventional way and will probably open up new combo routes

[@TacoPluss]

The thumbnail is amazing and the editing just makes it cool. Seeing you attempt the combo and just suddenly you hit it back to back to back. It's like an anime training montage or some shit, it's so cool!! I always enjoy these videos of yours when the lab results get published, just like when you were learning Oro combos.

[@Hersi310]

The inevitable patch that comes out and removes meter gain from Ed's level 2 (like they did for Rashid) is gonna rip out poor Brian's heart.

[@danishiqbal2963]

In my opinion, they should make him more slowly gain super meter while super 2. No need to nerf it like Rashid because Ed's super 2 is not strong like Rashid.

[@SamStraker]

I see them reduceing the meter gain for his LvL 2 like Chun Li

[@Kranker989]

Thus, ruining everything fun about the game. Ed isn't strong, I say keep the meter build.

im starting to think ed is the most difficult character in the game

[@rynzero_]

It's definitely exhausting to play him for extended sessions. Not even 10 matches in and my mental performance just tanks with him

[@Mentallyuntouchable]

@@rynzero_ it sucks because he’s one of the most fun characters in the game but people can really turn their brains off against him. There’s a few things I think capcom can adjust to make him a lot better though..

[@ScuffKinn]

How so? Besides these highly optimized level 2 combos I don’t feel like hes to overly complicated.

[@Mentallyuntouchable]

@@ScuffKinn weak fireball game, slow frame startup buttons, a lot of negative moves on block, no low forward (aside from cr. Hp which is pretty slow) he’s difficult to play against the other ridiculous characters in the game that exist that have all of the things I mentioned and then some

[@ScuffKinn]

@@Mentallyuntouchable weak fireball game? Yea fine but at the end of the day he has a fireball. I think Ed has good pressure because of the flickers though. negative moves, sure. No low forward besides crouching heavy, so he at least has a low forward. He’s difficult to play against other ridiculous characters, I mean you could say that for every low and mid tier character in the game. I think you’re describing a character that needs more tools to be better though that applies to like I said to every other low / mid tier character and I think Eds definitely in the upper echelon of that bracket, not exactly that he has a high skill ceiling. Though I know his buttons are very unintuitive when you first play him.

[@teachcinematicstv2798]

To add to the visual Q of Ed ducking you can also add this good sound Q. After Eds lvl2 activation he will say "Eat This" a frame after he says that he will go into the crouch animation. It helps a bit more than just visually waiting for the duck animation. Hope it helps fellas

The Seeker of Truth - Persona 4 Arena

[@Etholux]

Man, not only did he build the level 1 during the first combo, the whole combo itself dealt about 1.5 drive damage on punish counter, putting Luke into burnout and letting him be easily chipped in the corner.

[@lordunidas5558]

If you accidentally do level 2 to a grounded target, just sweep and kill rush. It sets you up for a nasty mix up cause the level 2 crosses as your in front. Guaranteed damage
