Ed

Story

Ed has a turbulent past, marked by his creation and upbringing under the sinister organization Shadaloo. Originally intended as a replacement body for M. Bison, Ed was genetically engineered to possess incredible power. Rescued by Balrog, the young Ed was raised by the boxer, learning to harness his Psycho Power in a unique way, distinct from Bison’s destructive style.

As he grew, Ed became the leader of the Neo Shadaloo, a group dedicated to finding a new purpose and future beyond Bison's shadow. His mission is to free others who were manipulated or controlled by Shadaloo, offering them a place in his new organization. Ed’s journey is one of self-discovery and leadership, striving to use his powers for good and to protect those who can't protect themselves.

In Street Fighter V, Ed struggled with his identity and the destiny imposed upon him. He sought to break free from the expectations tied to his origins and create a new path for himself and his allies. Throughout various confrontations, he developed his fighting style, blending Balrog's boxing techniques with his Psycho Power, making him a formidable and unpredictable opponent.

In Street Fighter 6, Ed continues his quest to redefine his role in the world. Now more confident in his abilities and leadership, he is determined to establish Neo Shadaloo as a force for positive change. His journey involves facing new challenges and adversaries, as well as solidifying his own identity apart from his dark origins.
