or they should have made a new Capcom vs Snk?
I would always be thirsty carrying this much salt around for Capcom.

This makes no sense.
It's almost that it's intentional and that they designed his character around that....
gotta be a conspiracy to....
like literally what the fuck am I even reading.
I wonder if the emblem on Ed's belt buckle stands for "New Shadaloo."
Mebbe. Juri, Balrog, Ed, with story lead into the return of Sagat.

The quarter circle motions will be launching with Arcade mode.
With how easy his specials are, I'm not expecting them to be all that good (balance and all). Maybe his normals will be excellent in order to compensate.
Too bad they couldn't have had the scrawny model go with his story costume to appease those wanting that body type. But I guess that may have fucked with hit/hurt boxes?

I had a theory that F.A.N.G may try to resurrect Shadaloo after Bison's death, I just didn't expect it until SFVI (set post-SFIII).I wonder if the emblem on Ed's belt buckle stands for "New Shadaloo."
Sagat doesn't give a shit about Shadaloo, anymore.

I read the blog post before I ever posted. That's just a papered over story reason explaining why they clearly wanted the character to have a dramatically different appearance.
That doesn't have anything to do with disliking the change between character introduction -> playable introduction. Capcom's done it twice now, and it's something I don't like. That's all there is to it.
I got 5 bucks that says it's Juri
I get the impression that a resurrected Shadaloo would be quietly building its ranks during the events of SFIII, positioning itself as a new threat for SFVI.
Juri just wants her own harem of Bison Dolls.
but only so she can kill him again
edit: misread, but will leave it. Shadowloo was a cool guy.
oh I think she wants Bison to remain dead, in fact I think all three of them do
FANG will get told to fuck off and he'll be the one that goes off on his own to resurrect his husbando

Can't you get banned for saying that? lol
Ed seems really cool so far. We get to try him out in a few days as well so that's neat.

True Psycho FANG, now with 100% more poison.
What are you talking about? Capcom knows that the BEST way to introduce a new character is to have him lose nearly every single match in the story mode.

Not gonna lie, Violent FANG would be dope.
Violent Fang: All of his normals now apply poison! As a tradeoff, all of his normals have equivalent hitstun to his v-skill!

In reality, a really serious and ultra-focused FANG would probably be terrifying. Having somebody like FANG being goofy and arch all the time sort of disarms people when he suddenly becomes serious.

For those more familiar with SF lore, weren't the Dolls and/or Cammy also meant to serve as replacement Bison bodies?
Yup

Man he looks bad ass I like how unique everyone is in this game. No clone character pallete swap bullshit so far.
His 3D model looks great I wonder if they got a new freelancer for this one.

You're not wrong. I remember it being posted in the SFV OT that Capcpom designers wanted to put in a poison character in SF3 but it ultimately came down to the poison character or Remy. And that emo fuck won.
You don't get a lot of jobs after you get kicked out of boxing for being too dirty
He just goes to whoever is the highest bidder and lets him punch stuff and Shadaloo was that until the illumanti showed up with a better offer.
None of the kings of shadaloo besides FANG are really invested with the organization. Sagat only used them so he could fight ryu again and Vega is just egotistical and will jump ship if trouble comes.
I feel like fighting game makers forgot how to design a good character visually in the last 15 years. From Street Fighter to KoF to Tekken and Soul Calibur, the designs all look way too busy and cluttered.
Up to and including SC2 maybe, every character had an idea behind him visually that somewhat reflected in his fighting style and looked good. Then suddenly with the jump to HD (again, maybe, can't pin down the game or year, way too casual observer for that), it seems like 5 people all just HAD to incorporate their own idea into one character. Like they went to the Final Fantasy Tactics 2 school of over-design. There are exceptions, like the female brazilian fighter in SFV, but most of the time when I see artwork or trailer for new characters, they look really weird.
Well, just my 5 cents. Don't understand why they didn't go with the hoody as the main costume.
Edit: SFV is the least offensive in this regard for me - but this character fits..

I just realized since it's his battle costume alt, there won't be a way to remove the coat on his shoulders. D:
Lol I'm hoping there still will be

Ya know, considering the thirst I keep seeing being built up for Sagat & Sakura, i'm gonna go ahead and commend the guys for saving them for their future initiatives. Thirst is real.
Also, Ed looks awesome. I'm very curious to try the new input method. Bring on the weekend.

Fang type lost to Remy?
I'd rather have Fang

They added a space after the sixth silhouette. I'm thinking Sagat is closer than we think.
