Street Fighter 6 Ed Finally Releases In-Game

Street Fighter 6 is one of the biggest fighters right now and it’s still receiving sizeable updates at a decent pace. A new round of patch notes are here! They contain a bit more than just our standard changes though. The game is seeing its first biggest changes since its release. Along with alterations to existing characters though, we’re seeing a new one added; Ed in Street Fighter 6 is here!

The game has gotten its next DLC fight. It’s just days after the Capcom Cup X concluded, we’re finally getting another DLC character. We’ve already learned a lot about them from the early promotion like trailers. However, with this update players can get a hand on with Ed in Street Fighter 6.

Ed in Street Fighter 6 Releases

Ed is finally here. The new character has an interesting feel at first glance. They have strong mid-range options, super Supers which have potential too. It’s too early to really break into their entire combo potential. However, for an opening few days, this is definitely very promising.

How to Unlock Newest Character

To Unlock Ed in Street Fighter 6, you’ll need to purchase the character. They’re included in the Year 1 Character Pass. If you’ve already purchased the pass to unlock past DLC characters, then you’ll likely already have access. We’re nearing the end of support for the first year pass though.

Ed’s Initial Trailers and Build-Up

This week we’ve seen some progress in the wait for the newest character. An Ed Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer has been revealed. This is our best look so far at how the character handles and if they’ll be the addition to upset the SF 6 tier lists and dominate the game. What have we learned from the new trailer and when can we expect to see Ed released?

Street Fighter 6 Ed Trailer Shows Gameplay

The latest character to get added to the roster of SF 6 is Ed. The fighter was introduced in the last game in the series, SF 5. He’s making a return as DLC this time. The character in the game’s lore is Balrog’s prodigy. His moveset has kept a bit of inspiration from that character but gone more in its own direction for Street Fighter 6.

In the new trailer, we see Ed first getting approached at a train station. That’s before he actually gets into the fighting. We see some glimpses of his new moveset here, with major changes from his earlier appearance. He looks like a more punch-heavy character this time. He has a particularly exciting super shown off in this new trailer. The trailer even shows off his alternative costume!

Ed Release Date

When does Street Fighter 6 Ed release? The character’s latest trailer is driving a lot of hype for the character, but there’s a bit of a wait still. The character is due to release on the Feb. 27. It’s been a longer time for this character’s release. However, with the Capcom Cup still to wrap up, it makes a lot of sense to save a new character until the end of the month.
