We will, hopefully, find out shortly but I don't think Neo Shadaloo is dead by any means. Ed seems to be on the run because he's the chief target of the Shadaloo remnants. Given a key aspect of his story is him traveling the world to rescue other Shadaloo experiments, he'd want to avoid drawing attention to them. If he's on his own, they'll chase him and leave everyone else alone. If I had to guess, he probably left Falke in charge while figures out the best way to handle the remnants of Shadaloo.

As of now, Tekken 8 has the best cinematic story mode in the genre. After Jin hit that pose and that theme started playing i knew this was the only modern fighting game that cared about its story.

That second outfit should have been his main since Street Fighter 5. It's just perfect!
 
Love the new gameplay and that they made him a pure boxer. Much better than SF5, but I've yet to see Capcom miss with a character in this game, so I kind of expected them to improve Ed. I trust them with their choices by now.
 
The stage also looks very cool! 
 
Can't wait to see his interactions in World Tour mode and maybe learn more about what happened to 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

Yeah, I haven't watched the whole thing but Tekken 8 really did things awesomely as Darc said. No spoilers, but the fact that they had certain characters having story related affects on their movements was awesome. I remember back in the 90s when my sister and I played Soul Blade and in Edge Master mode there were certain matches with special conditions (player is poisoned, opponent can only be hurt in air, etc), I'd love to see more of that in story modes!

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.

Yooo, Ed's stage is awesome! Destroyed lab, broken Shadaloo logos and dead human incubators everywhere! He also looks like he starts going a bit evil in his first winpose! Cool stuff!

@ShockDingoThanks for bringing the moveset thing up. That's a high water mark for why 3D fighters are a good thing. The previous was NRS. They'd put characters not on the current games roster into story mode using the previous games animation. Tekken has a certain character missing moves for story reasons. Then has character use a moveset from previous game, a moveset of one of their teaches that AFAIK they never used prior, etc. It was love letter to Tekken fans and even as someone that isn't fan of the series, I found it endearing.

I thought that was pretty interesting too and honestly I felt like they should implement more. I remember a rumor from SF6 story that mentioned that Ken had a limited moveset in his story mode due to his  experience in the story and that’s something I would have liked to see. Although due to the story structure of SF6 it wouldn’t have made much of a difference as you don’t play specifically as Ken.  I just thought that it was interesting to show how the story would affect the gameplay of a character and Tekken 8 did implement that respectfully.

I was just about to post this! My interest is piqued!

This guy made a thread on X discussing the JP theory, mainly on connections between him and playing cards. 

Would you guys want to see a WT Mode expansion? And what specifically would you like to see?
 
 

I....I just don't get it. I love SF6, love WTM & online and the avatar stuff is a fine idea, it's just that they're leaning too far in one direction instead of something balanced. I'm really confused and hope season 2 irons out the wrinkles, cause this is disappointing. I WANT SF6 to reach for the stars, but I'm getting worried. 😕

Also I think Cammy would want her to fully accept herself and be comfortable, so there would probably be encouragement to not cover up or even growout her hair to cover her face. It's a cool direction to see her just living a normal life and leaving the fighting to Cammy.
