To no one's surprise Ed has been officially revealed as the third Season 2 character for Street Fighter V over on the Capcom blog. He's bulked up quite a bit since the SFV story mode (thanks to his "accelerated aging" I guess???) and fights by combining the styles of his two dads'. Boxing and Psycho Power. He's supposed to have simplified inputs, with no command motions for any of his moves outside of his Critical Art. Instead you perform all his fancy attacks with button combinations, button holds, and repeated presses. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be a lower barrier-to-entry character or what, but I'm 100% down to give him a test run. He looks very very fun.
He's going to be playable as part of the May 11-14 CFN open beta, which afaik is free to everyone so give him a spin!
