Normal Move
Evaluation
Crouching Medium Punch (Under Hook) is a crouching mid that hits low to the ground and is an excellent combo starter after a Drive Rush. It has solid range and links well into standing MP or directly into the MP→HP target combo. Its recovery is short enough to use safely in pressure strings.
How to Use
- Drive Rush combo: Cancel Drive Rush → 2MP → MP→HP → 214HP is one of Ed's main damage routes from any range.
- Reversal bait follow-up: After conditioning the opponent to block, 2MP can lead into a throw for mix-up.
- Hit confirm: 2MP → 214MP is a simple hit-confirm combo that delivers a knockdown with minimal execution demands.
