I don’t pay attention to very many characters, so maybe this is true for a lot of them, but it seems like the damage scaling on a bunch of Ed’s medium length combos is criminally bad now. There are times where Leshar and some of the other Ed’s land a combo and it’s like, wait that’s all they got from that?

[@SuperDrawBot]

Did notice it as well, you're not crazy. I think its because of the jab combo scaling nerfs... But Im not sure. Seems like button into special in general butchers his damage, while if he just get the raw special, like a Lvl 2 off of EX Blitz, he can hurt like hell.

Ed has to work hard

[@SuperDrawBot]

@@WorldOfWeebcraft as an Ed main, this validates my bias, and O therefore agree wholeheartedly

[@hihihihihi7889]

You're not wrong but Japan thinks he's crazy strong. It's hard to tell if capcom is going to buff or nerf this character. Most likely both, but I think he'll get a sum total nerf.

[@jayro792]

@@hihihihihi7889I think they’ll either buff him or leave him much the same. I dont see where there is a need to nerf especially when he got nerfed by default with the universal change with 6 frame normals

I miss Leshar's Chun Li 😅 - I always looked forward to seeing fluid and elegant chun li gameplay ❤

[@firstsecond3624]

He said playing chun li got boring. Wish he would go back

[@Buzbay-qj8nu]

Dang it

[@OmnipotentO]

Chun Li is that bad now huh

[@ellguy1965]

Terrible

[@salttrader4113]

This match up is messed up. There should never be a case when you burn out and you are taken to the corner and there is nothing you can do to stop the DI... just seems like bad design, you should always have an option regardless of your resources...

[@pretzels7437]

Nah, you let yourself get burned out, if you constantly just blow it every round then its only fair you get penalized for putting yourself in burnout. Someone like noah the prodigy will never hit it big because he constantly burns himself out and its almost always to his detriment.

[@salttrader4113]

@pretzels7437 I disagree,just bad design allowing opponent to repeat a move and there is nothing you can do until they bring you to the corner and DI you. Makes for a poor viewing experience. There should always be an option even without super and burned out. But you can have your opinion, just not mine...

[@Italuuu]

Bro there IS something u can do tho, just try jumping the DI or go for a throw lol

[@salttrader4113]

@Italuuu not if it's spaced correctly, you can link your DI with another move to get a guaranteed dizzy. Won't be able to throw or jump those... See it with pro competition often. The only option would be a super if you have bar.

[@laxdemon13]

@@salttrader4113opinions can and often are wrong. Like yours. You get burnt out you deserve the stick.
