Back in Lab 5, the Slicer said this about Ed’s fighting style
Haha yeah he’s small and quick and does lots of flips. He’s super light on his feet.
During his fight with Greed, he even uses the dude as a springboard.
He also does this cool move where it looks like he dodges and then bends back and roundhouse kicks Greed in the face, but
Ed doesn’t just bend back. He fuckin rolls over the arm Greed is trying to punch him with, hooks his automail arm around Greed’s arm, and uses that to propel his kick forward. All in the course of like 3 seconds! The absolute madman!! He is a monkey
