- this was really unexpected because i have a mod that hides most rank info... i kinda thought i was at diamond 4 early 5. it was also kind of deflating because it happened after 5 matches and now i dont know what im gonna do the rest of the evening.
- ed is WAY harder than juri/cammy. i didn't realize how much privilege fast walk speed/teleport drive rushes/dive kicks give you. every game i had to just wait there for my opponent to press buttons first. no overheads, no good lows... he has no way to open people up except like maybe do a funny little walk and hope they press a button. his fireball and dp suck ass too. and his 5lp and 2lp.
- ed's combo structure is WAY MORE FUN than juri. juri has like, 3 real combos outside of FSE. ed is the opposite... you can get really weird. also he can push you from corner to corner, which is fun. you thought i was losing? lol. lmao. eat a level 2.
- i rarely see people do raw level 2 and most players panic and get hit by a slow moving orb of death because they don't realize they can just block it. or even worse, they jump it and i punch them into it or yoink them into a combo.
- he has a weird matchup spread... i think he's really good against jp, ryu, ken, jamie, manon, zangief, guile (!), marisa, dee jay, rashid, kimberly (maybe? no good kims here) and aki, but he has ass matchups against dhalsim, lily, luke (thats a big one), blanka, cammy, and juri. so basically he's really good at midrange, but at full screen and really close up hes not good.
- i dont even know if im gonna keep playing him... we'll have to see what the balance patch looks like. if his jab isnt fixed probably not.
- next character to masters is probably chun li or ken? idk maybe cammy or akuma.
- diamond 5 was rough because no one else is here so it just constantly puts me up against >1600mr players lol
