PLAYING ED

Character overview

Ed’s reach and Psycho Flicker help him contest space before moving into a boxing-range conversion. Charged Flicker and Kill Rush add decisions about timing and distance. A practical starting goal is to recognize a grounded Psycho Blitz finish and know how its follow-up differs from an airborne juggle.

Strengths

Long-reaching Flicker options let him threaten a range beyond his close punch sequences.
Kill Rush follow-ups and Psycho Cannon routes provide ways to develop a confirmed opening into more specialized pressure and conversions.

Weaknesses

Charging Flicker adds a timing decision that an opponent can observe. Holding it every time makes the pattern easier to challenge.
The guide separates grounded and airborne Blitz finishes. Applying the same approach to both can place your next attack at the wrong time or distance.

Best range / preferred gameplan

Work around Flicker reach, vary the decision to charge and move into a close confirm when the opening appears. Learn the Kill Rush follow-up after a grounded heavy Blitz finish first. Treat the airborne target-combo and safe-jump routes as separate setups with their own prerequisites.

Key tools to learn first

Psycho Flicker

Compare release timing and the charged version. Use the current move entry to check the resulting distance rather than relying on an older pull-in setup.

Psycho Blitz

Keep a simple route into it as your first conversion. Notice whether the opponent is grounded or airborne when the finish connects.

Kill Rush

Practice the movement and its follow-up inputs separately before attaching them to the grounded Blitz knockdown.

Beginner practice order

Measure Flicker contact
Try ordinary and charged Flicker from several distances, watching where both characters finish rather than just whether the attack hits.
Complete the grounded route
Use the guide’s heavy Blitz finish, then rehearse its Kill Rush approach against a guarding opponent.
Separate the airborne setup
Recreate the listed airborne Blitz route and its target-combo finish from scratch before attempting the corresponding jump timing.

Common mistakes

Holding every Flicker charge until the same point regardless of the opponent’s movement.
Borrowing an airborne Blitz setup immediately after a grounded Blitz conversion.

COMBO PRACTICE NOTES

ED: choosing and practising your routes

Ed practice builds from Psycho Blitz enders to Flicker extensions. Treat grounded Blitz knockdowns separately from other enders when learning wake-up pressure.

Strength to build around

Reach on tools such as Flicker is a strength.

Limitation to plan for

Anti-air consistency is a concern; practise responses to jumps separately.

What to learn first

Prioritise crouching LP into standing LP and medium Blitz, plus standing MP into crouching LK and medium Blitz. Then add the standing MP–HP route into heavy Blitz.

Turn the route into a match decision

Practise Kill Rush after heavy Blitz separately from corner Spark setups. Stabilise the next action after a normal ender before learning the SA2 follow-ups.
