Street Fighter 6 – Ed

First appearing in Street Fighter V, after rejecting the evil intentions of M. Bison, Ed managed to escape the grasp of the Shadaloo organization and create Neo Shadaloo with the hopes of helping others like him. His attacks in Street Fighter 6 have changed significantly since the latest installment, with all of his attacks now being punches. Ed, the initial inspiration of Modern Controls in Street Fighter 6, will also retain his simplified controls while now receiving expanded inputs for his Classic Controls. Get ready for some of Ed's knockout moves, including:

  • Psycho Flicker: A quick flicker jab from a distance that can go in one of three directions to catch the opponent off-guard and is vital to Ed's ability to control space. If you hold this button down, Ed will use his Psycho Snatcher from Street Fighter V where he can pull in opponents with psycho-powered tendrils.
  • Psycho Blitz: Unleashes a series of punches cloaked in Psycho Power.
  • Psycho Storm: Ed's Level 1 Super Art sees him striking opponents with a series of high-speed flicker jabs.
  • Psycho Cannon: Ed's Level 2 Super Art, previously from Street Fighter V, generates a multi-hitting ball of psycho power that moves forward.
  • Psycho Chamber: Ed's Level 3 Super Art turns opponents into his own personal punching bag by tying together their hands and feet and pummeling them in the name of Neo Shadaloo.
