Ed player accidentally performs ridiculously dirty mixup that confuses even himself during Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition match
Ed is perhaps one of the most interesting experimental characters in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition, and while he's certainly never topped any tier lists, the former M. Bison body back up has a dedicated crew who enjoy what the boxer brings to the table — especially when he's serving out stuff like this.
Street Fighter player Laughing Coffin recently shared a clip of an Ed mixup he performed in a match that is somehow confusing, hype and dirty to the point that he didn't even know where / how it hit.
The Grand Master-ranked online warrior would score an almost decisive stun against a Chun-Li player following a bad EX Spinning Bird Kick attempt which led to a fancy reset situation that I don't think anyone could knowingly block the first time... or probably even the second and third.
Laughing Coffin fully charges Ed's net V-Skill and launches Chunners for a juggle into his fireball shot. The forward momentum of that two-part attack appears to move the Neo Shadaloo leader fully behind his opponent.
Chun-Li gets popped by the hitbox from behind for a counter hit, but that's not the weird part.
Instead of crossing up, the Interpol agent appears to morph back into the corner in the matter of a few frames to put Ed back out in front to continue the combo for the KO.
As to what actually is happening here, Ed's fireball moves him forward quite a bit but moves back to a neutral position that could have always maintained over Chun-Li's position even though she appeared to land fully behind him since she gets hit on the ground and not the air.
You can check out the double side switch below which is kinda extra scary in the hands of Ed since he doesn't have to worry about motions for whatever side he does end up on.
