Rising Thunder/Edge

Overview

A well rounded character with a tool for every situation. His exceptional framedata allows for capitalising on certain situations much better than most. For example he has the fastest long reaching fM which allows him to use it to punish certain specials that are only jab punishable otherwise.

Some of his buttons are heavily disjointed, making his jumps difficult to challenge sometimes.

His unique run special allows for setting up very quick 0 or -1 situations that slower charracters cannot challenge leading to oppresive runstop pressure.

On Oki jab strings & meaty clM can be made reversal safe, leading to people having to respect his pressure.

Playstyle

Edge is a well rounded character with a unique sword charge mechanic.
Pros	Cons
A full and well rounded toolkit. Extremely fast and far reaching far medium. Very strong framedata. Easy 50/50 game with some loadouts. Special run that allows for relentless pressure against slower characters. Sword charge mechanic that carries between rounds.	Lowest health in the game. Learning some links is required. Combos with some loadouts are unconventional. No running dash. Weak forward grab. Most special options are outright worse so only 2 real loadouts exist.
