 Street Fighter is so back! I mean, it is Street Fighter, so it was never not popular. But with the addition of its third new DLC character, Ed, the game has doubled in size on Just Steam alone. And I mean, other than his haircut, what more could you ask for from a DLC character? He's so cool in game that I've decided to make him my main, at least up until Alex comes out. Only problem with that is Ed is an extremely hard and technical character, but I'm not gonna let that stop me, as this video will not end until I hit Platinum with Ed. If you like the Street Fighter ranked stuff, definitely leave a like and let me know down below in the comments if you wanna see more. All right, gotta polish up my Ed though. All right, it's Ed versus Ryu to start it off. Couldn't have asked for a more iconic match. Now it's time for me to do a little zoning game here. Oh, knock down. Take it. Uh, uh, uh, uh. Get up close, why not? Oh, I don't know the meaties. My bad, my bad. Ryu, I'm sorry, go ahead. Hey, knock him down, Ed. Look at this damage. We're just getting a lot of punish hits, so it's nice and easy to confirm off this stuff. Let's play a little bit of the fireball game, why not? Oh, no jumping allowed. And look at that. The range on that orb is crazy. So if you don't know anything about Ed, Ed is basically a boxer, but also he's kind of a zoner. He doesn't kick at all. All he does is punches and flicker jabs, which is just long punches. So every button I hit, no matter what, is gonna be a punch. Let me just try to get a knock down here. Oh, confirm that. Oh, no. Dash forward. Oh, why not? Knock him down. Ah, too many dashes. I'm trying to dash once and then confirm my dash. Oh, no, I'm down bad right now. Oh, I'm down bad in the corner. Is this a winnable match? Oh, get out. Knock down. No jumping. Bring him over here. Grab. Oh, God. Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. Oh, I just wanted to go for the cheesy grab when I was tired of thinking. Bro, my brain got over compressed. All right, three bars, though. We can do some funny stuff with three bars. Let me get this backdoor. Put him in the corner, why not? Oh, that was too far. You can't get it off that. All right. Hey, go ahead, sit down for me. Come on. No, stop doing the crazy stuff head. All right, ball game. Upper cut game. Knock down. Missed the meaty. All right, well, we'll take the target combo for a round one win, but that was stressful, bro. I really got to rank up. I need a win streak. So I can't afford any losses. Look at this animation. DLC quality? What's the budget they're packing in this DLC? All right, round two. We're just going to focus on again. Putting up that fireball wall. Maybe trying to get some counter hits. I'll take a command rush. Now, it is important to note that Ed does have a much easier anti-air that I'm just not using, which is just his standing kick. Look at that. That button needs a crazy menace, bro. Look, if I just focus on doing that, we're not allowing any jumps in at all. Oh, that's negative on block. Oh, wait, whoa, he didn't hit a fast button. Well, why not? I'm at least going to mash. I think the EX might still be negative. I'm not sure. I do know that you just want to use that move on combo enders, and you'll notice he doesn't want to throw a fireball now. I was going to say the first hit of our the first like little circle of our fireball that we can choose not to throw a fireball if we want. Oh, I'm just trying to block out here, bro. Is that so bad? Oh, God. I didn't know the punish off that. I should have waited till he hit the ground. Throw him in the corner. Why not, Ed? All right, here. Oh, does he know how to? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this. I didn't mean to do that. I mean, now that now that I only have two bars left. Oh, God. No, it's it's quarter circle back. Quarter circle back. Look, the slow orb of death. The slow orb of death. What are you going to do? OK, you're going to kill me. But the orb of death. That super is so good. Sadly, I did just waste two bars flicker jab. Oh, he's different. He's different. No jumps allowed anymore. All right. I think he wants to jump. Boom, sit him down. Oh, throw him again. Why not? Sheep stuff. No, no grabs. No grabs allowed. No jumping allowed. OK, you can jump. Oh, is what you thought, huh? Is what you thought at the last second. I'm going to die right back at the last second. We'll get out with two wins in a pretty sloppy match. But I'm enjoying it. I just can't talk, bro. He's alive. He's a technical character. This requires max brainpower. Here we go. This is more what I expected, an ed mirror match. And the guy has something to prove he's got a rank up here. Let's start with a bit of the fireball game. Let's see how he likes to play. We got to see. We got to understand what he's going for here. Oh, that will get you smoked, bro. If I see that again, I'm driving packing every day of the week. All right, we'll take the standard knockdown. He's just going to stay in parry. Knockdown. Take some damage. Knockdown. Don't jump. Don't jump. I told him, didn't I? I told him. I'm trying to go on an Edward streak here. I got to keep it alive. All right, drive impact. I respect that. Fireball game. Fireball game, you going to jump now? You want to jump. Get over here. I could have done a little more damage than that. Oh, no up against the wall as well. Devastating. Wow, he kind of got a little gimme combo there. Punished counter. I'm not afraid. I'm going to drag him in and throw him in the corner. In the corner, the very corner that he trapped me in. Get over here. I never mind. We'll just take the uppercut for the win. But I had plans. I had plans that I couldn't explain right now because I can't speak and play it at the same time. He's a bad man, though. He's a dangerous character. I'll tell you that right now. What I'm struggling with is that middle awkward phase. After I get a knockdown, I'm still not entirely sure what to do. No throw in the corner, so I'll take that. Oh, he's a bad guy. No jumps allowed. Drive impact to cancel that out. Do it late. Heavy uppercut. Oh, God. I did learn a little bit of the set play here. Oh, the jumping punch was random. I didn't even need to do that. I learned a bit of set play, but not much else. Oh, that was a punish, man. Oh, what's the combo after that? Hold on. What's the combo? I completely forget. I forgot the combo. Oh, you're out of juice. You're out of juice. Oh, no. Well, that was supposed to be a heavy uppercut, so I'm pathetic right now. I just gave him his whole drive resource back. No, drive impact. Please spare me. I spared you, bro, if you think about it. If you really think about it, don't make me do this. Don't make me do this. Don't make me random level three, because I will, bro. When you, all right, you got me. Now, what would be cooler if I hit a saucy level two combo or just confirm with the level three? What's the better out there? Oh, drive impact. I got to slow down a little bit. I got to be there to catch these things. Drive impact again. I'm getting smoked. Oh my god, I'm getting smoked. He's got the level two. Does he know the combo? He just tried a side switch off it, which I can respect. He knows that I'm fraudulent to drive impacts, though. He knows I'm fraudulent to drive impacts. He's too dangerous to be kept alive. No. Don't make me do this. He's going to make me do this. Oh, that's plus when you fully charge it. No, I forgot. Good game. My win streak, my ranked points. Is that round one? Was that round one or two? I don't even know. I could have looked on the bottom. Damn, now you got me sad, man. That was not plus. Oh, in the corner. What do I do? No drive impact again. The drive impact smoke is crazy. I don't want it. I think we can all see that I'm not a fan. Oh, no, I did it first. I could tell that he was thinking it, but he was thinking it a little later than I thought he was thinking it. All right, well, I'm not about to just lose to drive impacts, bro. We got to do something else. When Ed misses a throw, you cannot tell me that he is not voiced by Sonic the Hedgehog, bro. Oh, no way we're doing this again. I'm just not punishing anything. There we go. There we go. No, why? What? Ah! Without a doi? OK, level three, critical art. Make him into a damn glove. Pull him back. Spider-Man, Psycho Power. Get him back. Please let me clutch up. No, where's the grab? How does that duck kill? Get him out of my game. We take the round back. OK, but that's just round one. That's just round one for me. Drive impact. I could tell you're thinking it, bro. All right, throw him in the corner. Let's go. That's plus, bro. That was plus. You're telling me you don't respect it? Punish counter. I'm pressing buttons because I'm scared. Psycho, let's go. He's got to respect it now. He ain't got the juice. Let's go, throw him. Keep the pressure up. Make him jump. Oh, he jumped perfectly. Oh, no. Oh, no, that's big damage. That's big damage, and he's got his thing back. All right, I'm throwing out my orb. He's going to have to parry it. OK, he didn't parry it. No, no, it gets the wall. Oh, my god, splattered that high. OK, level one, that's nothing too crazy. He can kill with a grab here, though. Let's go. No more drive impacts, bro. Please. With that much health, you were driving back. They got me scared, man. You got me terrified over here. What do you know? Another end. Well, we've got to keep it up. We need a win streak again. Fireball game, let's just play it a little bit. You never know. All right, we'll take a throw there. He didn't look too committed. Hey, bro, this is getting a little awkward, man. Oh, let's go. Oh, why didn't I just hit a button? I could have just hit a button and got a little combo there, but we'll take the win. We'll take the win. Round one, explosions in the background. We start with the fireball game again, or is he going to, like, just do something crazy? Oh, look at that orb, man. Oh, I just wasted so many bars. I might as well burn myself out, bro, at this point. That was so crazy of me to do. Oh, and it just came back. You were too late, bro. How are you not dead, though? How did you not die? You lived a lot longer than I was giving you credit for. 55 points again, man. The road to platinum is so long, but at least we get that win streak bonus. Once you get up to plat, there's just you've got to play the game. Fireball game, get him scared a little bit. Get him scared a little bit. Throw him in the corner. No escape. There's no escape. Wait, delay it. Fireball. No, no, that's not the set play. That's not the set play, but you're clicking buttons. I'm just going to punch you. All right. What are you going to do? Jump. Sit him down. I respect it. Oh, wait, don't let me get this. Punish it. Big damage. All right, drag me in. That's fine. Psycho power. I respect it. Oh, we got him. Guess it now. I can never just get like what feels like a good standing combo with that. All right, I'll take it. We'll just we'll just take that win. We'll go to the next round. That was just like a standard beat him up. You know, we didn't have to act. You didn't have to use any of the depth of it. We just had to click some buttons. If you like the Street Fighter videos, by the way, make sure to like the video and let me know down below in the comments. What else do you want to see? Oh, no way. Another ad. We expect to this. But the thing is that has so many play styles, bro. So what's what's your play style, man? Oh, look at that range, man. Sometimes sometimes you really forget that this character got range. Yeah, I was expecting to grab. Why didn't you take it? Well, sometimes expectations and expectations and reaction speed are another thing, bro. Oh, did we just low crush that? That was kind of crazy. Oh my God. Oh, don't don't make that mistake. Oh, don't make that mistake. I still got a lot. I got a lot of gas in the tank, bro. I got a lot of gas in the tank. Three win streak meets four win streak. Who's going to take it home? Fireball. Fireball. All right, EX Fireball was a good choice there. What about mine? Slow. Dash up behind it. Dash up behind it. Psycho powered at the range. All right, probably should have kept that one. Oh, no, you don't get to go. Oh, that was the punish we were waiting for. Grab. Oh, wow, nice EX DP there, actually. You had to. You had to. Oh, no, the combo. The combo, bros. I'm sorry, I forgot. Oh, well, what if that was the anterior one and bro would have just gotten smoked? Level three doesn't kill, though. Is this a critical art? Hold on. Yep, it is. All right, we might be dead here. If not, I have plans. We're dead. Nobody has plans when they're dead. Well, looks like this is going to be the round to decide it all then. I'm going to just jump in. Knock down. Oh, wow, wow. Nice parry. Oh, that's negative. Let's start the fireball game off. I can't believe he didn't punish that. I can't believe it. He should have. Grab. Oh, walk him down then. No. All right, just EX cycle power, man. Just grab this guy. Damn, it should not have been that hard. I dropped like eight combos along the way. Ah, add a fourth gold star to my gold because I'm going up to platinum. I'm going up to platinum. You're not stopping me, bros. Oh, the set play. I could have done so much more. Don't jump. Don't jump, but you've got to get off the wall. You've got to get off the wall. Oh, that was sick. Walk him down, Ed. Walk him down. I'm going to span that forward move. Why not? Sit down. Respect the grab, though. Respect the grab. Oh, my god, the cycle power, bro. Get over here. It's not even fair. 205 rank points. We've got to keep this streak alive. This streak is giving me hope. Wow, not another Ed. You know, I'm genuinely surprised. Fireball game? Fireball game, maybe Ryu? Could I interest you in a fireball game? All right. Not everybody's going to be interested in a fireball game. I understand that. Ooh, a light round of fireball o'clock, eh? Sit down. All right, he stopped me. TP, sit down. Oh, hands off the merchandise. Oh, wow, I can't lose this. He had a super. OK, that was kind of sick. Dash it and just let it fly. Why not? Why not let it fly? That's the question on my mind. No DP. No DP, and I can't get through the fireball. Oh, I'm getting thrown around. OK, wait, if I could just get into my, if I could just get into a normal combo. No. Let's go, level three. Why not treat him like a punching bag? Hey, get over here. Spider-Man, cycle power. Let's go. Lock it up. We just needed a normal combo so that I could go into that, like, ricochet punch, bro. Damn, that is too cool, bro. He's so fun. This character is just really funny. He's so technical, though. It feels like there's, there's like levels to that. I got to, like, start anti-airing, too. I haven't anti-air at all at all this set. Bang. OK, couldn't get a punch out there. I probably should have done the DP version. Oh, OK. Oh, drive impact against the wall is my biggest enemy in the whole game, bro. All right, I couldn't get a punch out there. He respected it. He respected it. Oh, we love to see that. Oh, yes. Treat him like a goddamn punching bag. Oh, look at the range. Look at the range. The mastery of footsies, bro. Oh my god, we're just under the desk right now. He's made his match. All right, I got hit by the fireball. Oh, god. Oh, he's out. He's out of juice, though. He's out of juice, though. Hold on. I just wanted to throw him into the corner. That's too much. All right, I got to stop letting this guy just jump out of the corner. It's getting to be a tad bit real. He's a jumping fool. Oh, he's not telling me. Oh my god, look at the orb of death. Orb of death. All right, I'll take the win. That was kind of a, it was a little scrambly. I'm not going to lie, I was sweating a little bit. Can I get out of gold in this video? I really want to. And that's the death of my win streak. Yeah, I'm not beating a blocker, bro. I've seen how blockers get down and it is never good. Oh shit, he just dove in. He just dove in. No meaty? How, no. Oh god, get in the corner, get in the corner. Sit down, blocker. Sit down. Sit down, blocker. Oh no, he could slide into my fireball, bros. He could slide into my fireball. What do I do? Oh, stay back. Oh, what do I do against blocker ball? Do I just, I guess I like DP if I'm really him. All right, well, I mean, I guess I take that trade. No, I don't take that trade. What do you do against blocker? I've never understood. I've never understood. If I can be so forward to say I have no idea what I'm doing. Oh, we got him burnt, though. I'm just trying to be random. I'm trying to random it up. All right, just keep jabbing, bro. Eventually he'll let down his defenses, I guess. I don't know. Blocker, you're scared of me, bro. Can I please continue my win streak? And why did that leave me crumpled up on the floor for six to seven business days, man? Blocker. That was supposed to be a fireball input, man. Oh, no, he's got his critical art. He's got his critical art, but I've got mine. Oh, no. Why did he burn himself out? Does he want to die? All right, well, let me fire the ball of chaos. All right. Couldn't resist, like a mop to the flame, baby. Like a mop to the flame. Just fire out an orb of chaos when they're burnt out and they'll just, he got out of there quick. You're the blocker player, bro. I should have ran. Oh, double gold five rake up. Double gold five rake up is in play. Six stage, dude. Now I did see that the, no, that was supposed to be just a normal length here. Oh, slow down, Rashid, slow down. Rashid, stay back. Oh God, all right, all right. Not good for me. DP, that sucks. All right, that's fine. Grab, normal grab. I just got, I can't do anything too crazy now. DP, it wasn't long enough. I should have the medium. Oh God, the way, I didn't know I've never played against Rashid. Okay, you caught me. I thought that might have been the greatest answer of all time. I think I'm dead. I am dead. Grab, that was a nice grab. Okay, I learned what I need to learn. I learned what I needed to learn. Also, I do think I need to win this match. Damn, I had the set play. Whoa, why'd I land in front? I guess I should have known I would land in front, but damn. L1, thank you. I can't believe that. I can't do that twice there. No way. Oh God, I hate it here. I'm dead. Oh no, you're dead. You didn't punish me. I jumped and just immediately thought I was dead. I'll take it. Decent trade, I guess. Oh no. Oh no, how do I get out? DP I should have known. Oh God, I gotta clutch up. I can't believe he didn't DP again. Let's go. This is super because I dropped the input six times, but I'll take it. That was a well deserved platinum. Bro, I read the DP. That's all I could ask for. He panicked, I didn't. We'll take it. That was the difference. Okay, now I can actually play the goddamn game a little bit here without sweating so much. Oh, I didn't do the delayed version. I couldn't get the heavy punch. Couldn't get the heavy uppercut. All right, Rashid, go ahead. Do your thing, Rashid. Do your thing because now we're playing my game. Now we're playing my game because I'm not scared no more. Oh shit, I didn't do the late version again. You'll take the jab though. You wanna move around in the corner? You gotta take the jab. I'm an ad player. I'm out here playing an ad. All right, you got me there. You got me there. All right, get grabbed. Get grabbed, counter hit. We take those. All right, I gotta remember to throw up the fireball there. I always drop that. Needs more practice. All right, I mean, I'm okay. Oh, not okay taking that. Yeah, the chip damage is getting to be a little excessive. Okay, I deserved to lose. That was a nice read. I know round. I wanna walk away with another win here though. Oh yes. Come on, bro. Let's go. Oh my God, bro. You got a whole block. You got a block against it. I'm a turny with a punching bag. I'm gonna turn you into a punching bag if you don't block. And now we're in Platinum, so it's just 50 points flat a win. That is unfortunate, but we made it. Well, now that we're in Platinum, I guess that's as good a place as I need to call it. I'm gonna go spruce up on my head. And if you wanna see more, just let me know. Thanks for watching the video. Bye.
