Capcom presents the official gameplay trailer and some other details about the next DLC character Ed from the fighting game “Street Fighter 6”. The character won’t be waiting long.
Ed will use his Psycho Power.
In a few weeks, Capcom will release Ed, the third DLC character for the fighting game “Street Fighter 6”. Starting February 27, 2024, owners of the Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Year 1 Character Pass will be able to use the new fighter.
Psycho Power-charged punches
The developers have now also provided an official gameplay trailer that gives a glimpse of Ed’s abilities. He will be able to deliver a quick jab from a distance with his “Psycho Flicker” that can go in three directions. Alternatively, you can go straight into the Psycho Snatcher and pull enemies towards you. “Psycho Blitz” will again unleash a hail of blows.
His Super Arts “Psycho Storm” and “Psycho Cannon” allow for both a series of jabs and the creation of a ball of Psycho Power that moves forward and can land multiple hits. The Level 3 Super Art “Psycho Chamber” turns the opponent into Ed’s personal punching bag.
Incidentally, Ed was the original inspiration for the modern controls of “Street Fighter 6”. In the last offshoot he already had a simplified input to carry out his actions. This will be retained in the modern controls. However, the Classic controls will receive expanded inputs, so you will also have to use Hadoken and Dragon Punch inputs.
In addition to Ed, a completely new stage called “Ruined Lab” will also appear. In this you can see the aftermath of the Shadaloo demise. The stage is available to all Year 1 Ultimate Pass and Ultimate Edition owners.
Capcom will also bring some quality-of-life improvements to the game with the upcoming update. On the PC you can switch the key displays. The photo mode will also have a function for additional light.
“Street Fighter 6” is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and PC. In a few months, Akuma, the fourth and final character of the first year, will appear. Here is the aforementioned gameplay trailer:
