Wow. Edgar's upgrades made him FAR more aggressive in this one, which also made his offensive output do more damage. Though elite in his defence, DJ was not able to withstand the whopping 62 landed ground strikes from The Edgar, and Frankie shows his original win was no fluke. Well....at least after like, 30 points of upgrades at least...
