Character Overview
A boxer built for consistent mid-range control with sharp flicker pressure and strong frame advantage.
Ed pushes relentless offense through plus-frame Psycho Flicker pulls, Kill Rush spacing traps, and corner pressure, balancing mid-range dominance with strong reward.
Key Strengths
- Mid-Range Control: Psycho Flicker strings and Kill Rush dictate mid-range spacing and tempo.
- Corner Offense: Strong frame traps and Oki.
- Space Control: Long-reaching normals punish whiffs and lock down horizontal approaches.
Key Weaknesses
- Defense: Slow startup on his OD reversal makes it vulnerable to safe jumps.
- Scaling: Damage lowers in extended combos.
- Meter Usage: Relies on Drive for safe pressure.
Counter-Strategy
Respect his Psycho Flicker spacing and do not contest his minus frames with slow buttons. Corner him and rotate between strikes and throws to tax his Drive Gauge. Because his OD reversal has slow startup, use safe jumps and jab meaties to bait and punish it.
