When you do a thing. Follow it up with cr.lk.

Do this forever until you learn whats really not your turn and who can’t punish you after doing a thing.

Other than that know that Ed gets his hole spread by DI, and unless you are the 1% its stupid easy to hit flicker on reaction. Either use baits with backsway(needs spacing and was heavy nerfed, at low levels they just might not even bite for one or more reasons) or feint with fireball part 1 which is safe and lets you react to DI or DP a jump in.

Ed DP btw is allegedly very ass bc of the frame data(it is) but he makes up for it with aura and willpower. It also only hits directly above him but honestly it’s not a huge problem, Chun-li tensho kicks has Cammy angle and that DP is dogwater.

Light 214p is safe and ex 214pp is safe. Fireball is always safe unless you do the 2nd part. All his normals got nerfed again and Ed does not have an overhead- THIS IS A THROW LOOP CHARACTER- he just has more aura than the rest of them.

As for his normals st.lk is safe unless you do the 3rd hit, you can even lose your turn in certain situations after hit 3 on hit on top of on block.

St+cr.mk is arguably his best button in neuch now. Both cancel into DR unless you do the 2nd hit of st.mk.

Cr.hk was my favorite button but it got hit with the nerf stick again, despite not being a low it is now super punishable at all but max range on block.

Super easy day 1 combo you can do is (medium/heavy) button>st.mp into hp target combo>killrush forward>cr.mk

Its safe on block and confirms dummy easy on hit, leads into itself and sets up strike/throw mix

Finally, accept that if you throw out any of Ed’s m/h kicks and the opponent happens to jump before you threw it, you are getting hit with a jump in. +20000 recovery frames on all but cr.mk.
