I mentioned this on twitter. Do we actually know if Ed was a clone or was a kidnapped kid that got aged up? Over the years I've forgotten.
 
 

But he wear Neo Shadaloo symbol on his standard SF6 design
 
Maybe not best pic to show it but

above the owl on the back and on the badge on his chest you can see a symbol made of two thunders (one big of metal, second smaller carved as an hole in the first), wich are rotated in a way that first horizontal look like a stylized "N" and second vertical as a "S", the initials of Neo Shadaloo 😁
 

In Ed’s V debut blog, it’s noted he was “kidnapped at a young age” - https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/the-young-commander-ed-joins-street-fighter-v

From previous discussion, we concluded he was kidnapped at a very young age. The jpn sources hint that. Ed himself mentions, on the 2018 april fools Side Reader story that he couldn't even recall the face of his parents. Also it was never mentioned of him being created from scratch in a lab, like Abel (and Seth) was. He was always mentioned as being the young who was experienced on.
The localized text mentions he was made in a lab, but I think in the jpn actually mentions he was raised, or grew up in a lab.
 
You're right about the Dolls, with the exception of Decapre, who is Cammy's clone.
 
Totally looks like it, but that wouldn't make much sense. The whole place got engulfed in lava as soon Ryu, Chun-Li, Li Fen and Guile left the Inner Sanctum. The same happened with the Secret Laboratory in SFIV where that machine (BLECE?) fell to a lava lake, taking the fighters inside with it.
 
If that's the case, then SF6 Ed story might lead to him finding Falke. Remember SFV wasn't a linear story....
 
He did? I think that he will take over Neo Shadaloo now, even though he doesn't want to.
 
I think @YagamiFire is from Germany. He might help.
 

Tomorrow!

Gameplay trailer tomorrow Story Peeps
 
 

Wednesday, maybe....?

The Ed's Psycho Power looks like different... It's not pure purple. Soul Power? Ed finally found Menat or he met Rose? Or is he developing his own Soul Power?
 

I think that "dark vibe" is the fact of Bison is trying posses him in his dreams. The game makes it clear that Bison may have users of Psycho Power (and even Soul Power, as is implied at the end of Menat in SF V). So much so that JP HATES sleep.
 

 
 

Ahah i got sucked into Fall Guys level editor
I'm at 80% done of an EPIC Santa themed one, but of course i took too long and will be ready just when will be no more needed 🤣
And of course this because i was busy completing a Dracula one that was too late to sneak into Halloween window, but wanted to complete it anyway
🤣🤣🤣
 
If was still student or in an uneployed period would have killed that shit like back in LBP days, but with full job, couple life, upcoming new home shit to follow and SF6 editor have huge priority FG never had a real chance, but still managed to suck some hours of sleep lol
 
Btw last update of 2023 (i'll be 3 days on alps for NYE) is kinda on boring technical side, but guess better than nothing lol
 
Bit of face rework on already existing ones using new tricks and gimmicks
(click for full size)

@CESTUS IIInothing on your level but I can't let you have all the fun.
 



 
How to get a KOFXV style dump truck 😉

@CESTUS IIISince I had nothing better to do....
 

 

Side note: The blue color for Mature was because the Summer Jacket has a tighter fit, so it just looks better. She doesn't look as bulky. Plus...

Bison turning blue was the effect of his body being invaded/filled by Ryu's ki, wich had the ability to suppress negative ki and turn it in his azure hado energy
Is basically same thing he did on himself right before fight Necalli, suppressing his own negative ki/satsui no hado and turning it from red to azure
 
here timestamped
 
It's like if previously Ryu had some sort of power limit that when reached he could not avoid Satsui no Hado to get triggered, but SFV version of Ryu could reach that point and then use Mu no Ken/Nothingness to convert all that power into normal non negative azure ki
 
Throwing that hadoken filled of this energy at Bison did same thing
Guess made sense that Bison's body crumbled because we know Bison's body was'nt even his real self but just an empty shell made in labs to be powered by Psycho Power and got suddently filled with an opposite energy
Kinda like put the wrong fuel in a car and fuck up the engine
 
We should  remember Bison whole immortality is based entirely on Psycho Power
 
I'm not sure on Ed effect would be the same because Ed is still a living being and "positive ki" in theory should not harm him
He's not even powered by negative emotions, simply Bison added artificially Psycho Power to Ed's special body (as we know Bison gave to the 4 Neo Shadaloo chars 1 "gift" each)
If i understood correctly nature of Ed's body is simply that its special trait is that could host Psycho Power without be affected by faster aging or corrupted (wich happen to normal Bison shell bodies) but does'nt need it
 
Though i admit Ed "dying" could be an interesting trait to the char considering how pale and less healthy he looks in SF6, would kinda remind SFV Nash vibes, these doomed/cursed destiny characters are cool
But offering different perspective, maybe Ed special body is'nt 100% immune to Psycho Power but just less affected, so in long run (considering SF6 timeskip) maybe it's body is still being poisoned like a cancer by Psycho Power and he learned Soul Power as some sort of cure, to heal or at least slow it down... would be interesting twist
 
Yeah i think Falke can be really easy for them because they can give her JP style (would be cool if he was revealed to be her La Canne master back to SFV days) and then add just couple of unique specials
 
My hope is we will be able to fight also Knife teleport guy and the genius Gorilla, they will have to get more creative there lol
 
Yeah i remember he had some sort of Psycho Powered forward dash/dodge, but i was thinking about something different and closer to the teaser, like him getting the ability to slip punches on various directions (like dodge on the spot, slip forward, lean backward etc) without use PP... for that reason i made Steve Fox name, was thinking something more like his dodges
 
Yeah i was saying indeed that while teaser seem to hint less PP, it can be misleading because he's essentially fucking up minions that don't require it, and that he used ki attacks as soon he had to face a stronger (still mediocre) opponent
 

I think it's one of two things. One is good for Ed and one is bad. It could be Soul Power as has been mentioned. However it also could be because Ed is dying. Didn't Bison's Psycho Power turn blue when Ryu killed him? I'd rather it be the former. I also think Falke will be an NPC like F.A.N.G. and Azam in World Tour Mode.

Bit soon to tell, is possible teaser palette is affected by the location having kinda blueish lights/shadows
 
But just watched the trailer again, got to admit each move seem bit different case
 
First powered punch is bit a mix, seem to have azure but also purple PP flame
The mid-air catch is full purple
The last strike seems mostly azure with just bit of purple
 
Again may be ambient lights but still curious to see if you have a point, interesting detail
 
We may find out when they release gameplay trailer in a normal stage

One thing i noticed is that teaser put lot spotlight on Ed's ability to dodge (normal boxing dodges without  need of psycho power) wonder if may mean SF6 Ed will get bit more Steve Fox style with dodges integrated in his moveset, would be appreciated
 
One cool detail is of the vid has been put great emphasis on Ed's footwork and balance, showing how he's totally unaffected by train movements while his opponents lose balance at every bump and Ed take advantage of these openings
 
Wonder if what does to the big guy is just cutscene or may hint us what one of his supers looks like, coreography/camera wise remind me lot Lv3s
 
About the Psycho Power being less used is possible (will like it) and teaser seems to show that, but we should consider these box-heads are absolute bums and Ed may find overkill use PP for them, while he uses it as soon he face somebody like big guy that can offer bit more challenge
Guess gameplay wise since many got install type shit as Lv2, would not be much surprised if he may have Psycho Power boost as Lv2

OH GOD, FINALLY!
