[The Table Destroyer]

I really liked the friendship that Ed and Boxer had, mostly because despite the fact that Boxer is still is the skirt chasing and money grubbing hooligan he's always been, he's shown to subtly care for Ed (for starters, Balrog teached Ed how to box. If he really didn't care about Ed, then he wouldn't waste his time teaching him anything). It adds to his character. Despite his crass nature he was good influence on Ed. He was the strong parental figure that Ed needed. The meek frightened boy Balrog grabbed in his SFIV ending developed into a young man with enough guts to fight off Bison's influence and forge his own path.

I'm liking how Capcom has improved their storytelling game with Season 2 so far. The art of the character stories has also improved as well.
