Everyone saying they fucked up by redesigning is just laughable. None of you guys have even seen this new Ed in motion.
The gigantic Bison statue in his background would seem to imply that's what's happened here. I fear Ed is in the Sunken Place now.

The new design is such a serious upgrade over the scrawny and bland hoodie look.
When it was first leaked that it was Ed I was really disappointed, but now I'm actually excited to see him in action.

I think the disappointing about this for me is none of these new characters are worthy replacements to bringing back classics. I wasn't against the idea of new characters this season because I figured it would give Capcom a great opportunity for creative ideas both aesthetically and gameplay. Kolin and Ed are not that (at least aesthetically.)
What is this? Common sense? in a thread about leaks!?
He's pandering to fujoshis because that's become one of his main fanbases in recent years.

He's lost the ability to draw buff dudes in exchange for the amazingly detailed art in part 5-8. Not the worst trade off in my opinion.
i think he looks kind of cool, a cross between Balrog and Bison which I think was kind of the point. His 2 dads as it were.
I suspect there's an anime-ish plot reason for him getting jacked after he was a spindly little thing in the story mode. I mean if I were writing this junk - it would be "Upon Bisons purification at the hands of Ryu, his latent psycho power was unleashed , anyone susceptible to those powers absorbed them into their being , thus Ed , being the last physical clone of Bison , obtained the majority and his physical being got roided up in the process." The hoodie and sweat pants thing always felt like a cover , like Goku wearing training weights.
Basically, I imagine Ed's story mode will explain away roughly what I've just described in short order.

I'll take his own style over shitty Bronson copies any day
Abel was also a Bison Body. Ed looks a lot like Abel now.

Ed being an Aryan Bison clone is pretty cool. He looks really evil.
I think he has the trope of clone super aging. SF4 was like 2 years ago and he was a little kid, a teen in SFV, now a super jacked young adult after the story mode ended. Bison's hair went white between 4 and V probably because 4 was the only SF game he was in where he didn't end up dying. His replacement body is getting old.

If Bison lost some of his signature attacks for this character to have it.... sighs
I don't think Araki panders to anyone. His somehow evolved and he just goddamn rolled with it.
Did you miss the leak? Ed is muscular and he's wearing a coat and gloves.
That looks... okish.
I hope he has that hood alt

I wanted a scrawny edgy dude in the game

I think it has more to do with the fact he wasn't some jacked up goon and was just a kid in a hoody and now he looks like every other jacked up dude in the game.

Ok so I know they are MORE than capable of designing a face after this and Kolin. Fix Ken!

FANG is edgy af. Or maybe Remy will be in season 3.

Isnt the kid from SF4 ?
That...actually makes a lot of sense.
Characters looks virtually indistinguishable for one another.
I'd rather have the old style where I could actually tell who everyone was and what attacks they're pulling off.
ok, just saw this one.
Sold.
Look at this mans handsome face.
Can we change around the character select so the screen starts on him, or urien, or anyone else but ken.
Just not ken.
Can we just put ken in a corner

They want people to buy the eventual shirtless bait dlc.

As opposed to his old style where everyone looked the same but instead of looking like that they looked like this
whos that
Wait people liked that weird circle shoulder thing araki was doing in part 3
The jojos becoming less manly yet having more broken abilities as time went on was certainly on purpose
I like his style, but him redrawing others in his style is not needed, some of you guys are really gonna hate part 5 once it's drawn lol

Its not really a they, its more of a " they hire different people to make different models" and for since the DLC it seems that they have been hiring the good people. While alex's hair is weird, his face is fine.
So Kens face might e weird for quite a while, but we don't have to worry about any one else's face looking wack.
Hair may vary though
This makes no sense. We haven't even seen his gameplay yet lol. Plus Kolin is great, her Systema (Russian marital arts) style of combat with her ice powers and counters is very innovative.
Are those supposed to be triplets? I hope the anime makes some changes when it reaches those parts.

Which is why I said they are aesthetically disappointing.

Your scrawny savior. He's been waiting this whole time.

Aesthetically, you can throw Kolin into the stereotypical SF2 cast and she would fit.
That makes her better than the majority of the 3s characters.
No defense over Ed though.
A different team has been doing the DLC than the original outsourced stuff.
Yeah, the SFV newbies (well, until now) have been pretty good about not breaking that rule of thumb.
Ken's face can't be defeated
Maybe next season
i see you

New Ed is the best SFV design after Necalli IMO.
Aesthetically:
Necalli > Ed > Rashid > Kolin >>> FANG >>>>> Laura
