Five Quick Tips to Drastically Improve your Ed Game
So you finally got bit by the eSports bug. After E3's announcement of Dragon Ball Fighters Z, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, and rumors of a new Super Street Fighter V expansion coming around the corner, there has never been a better time to dust off your old copy of Street Fighter V, or pick it up at 50% off during the Steam Sale.
Here are 5 quick tips that have helped me drastically improve my experience getting back into Street Fighter V with the newcomer Ed, and I hope this will help you as well.

Spend your meter on Ex Psycho Uppers
In this picture you can see me use the Ex Psycho Upper to punish a throw attempt after a Psycho Flicker ---> blocked Psycho Charge sequence to escape corner pressure. Who Ed's Daddy? Not this guy!

Overcome the Execution Hurdle of Psycho Flicker
Psycho Flicker is performed by pressing any combination of punches 5 times in a row within less than a second. My match video at the bottom of this post will display how this move is effective at dealing relatively safe damage at close range.
4. Once They Get Sick of your Ground Game, Knock Them out of the Skies
There is a lot of debate on whether this V-trigger gets the most value as a defensive tool, or a combo starter. However, everybody will agree that you will get no value at all if you are already dead. Just don't feel bad if you waste 2 red meters on this skill, as Ed builds V-gauge so quickly, it’s possible to charge two Psycho Cannons in the same round.
And that's 5 Quick Tips to Drastically Improve your Ed Game. Are you enjoying SFV as much as I am after Ed update? Let me know in the comments what your experiences are.
As a final treat, I will link you the full match that I used for this guide, for a bit of visual aid. Happy Psycho Powering.
