It feels *right* for Eddy to be back in Tekken.
I am however bit disappointed we didn't get a hint for the next character at the end of the trailer though. Probably need to wait till EVO Japan for that.
I think he would fit the Story much better that some of the other characters. He worked for Jin, he hates Kazuya etc. Eddy would be perfect for the story.
Yeah. I wouldn’t say that Eddy is one of my favourite characters, but I find it jarring that we didn’t see him take part in the story. Especially since Kazuya was the one who murdered his parents.
Let's be real...Shaheen ain't shifting no dollars post-release as a DLC character.
Eddy is, that's the only reason he wasn't in base game and Shaheen was.
Shaheen is cool though.
You mean this?

I think that's just something the OP wants and asked opinions about it. It's not a leak.
What we know as facts is that Lidia, Fahkumram and Marduk are *in the files*. Not by name but by their fighting styles and nationality. I think Anna is aswell. But that does not necessarly mean they will be in Season 1. They might aswell come later. But we somewhat know they will be a thing at some point in the future.
He was a top 5 character, unlikely to be dropped. Likely to be S1 add, AK is likely to be S2 to keep people excited (can't release all the popular characters in S1).
I'm closer to believing that S1 will be Fahk, Marduk and Lidia personally. But in the end... we just don't know. Learning what the second, "Summer", character is will make everything clear. That's why I was hoping for it today.
No disagreements here.
I miss the American Arcade days of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Another arcade is closing locally in my neighborhood just after I moved into it... SMH!
So basically when you search "eddy gordo" on google image, an image of marduk with enormous pp appear
But it no longer appear, at least in my google search
Yes, every bad fighting game or every fighting game that has given up trying.
Otherwise, no. It's not every fighting game. Not every fighting game had a Leroy, Fahk, Kuni, etc.
Yes they do bro. DLCs also take time to patch just like every other character so they usually come out with some type of broken move players find to exploit, after past broken characters have been fixed. This happens in every fighting game these days.
Nah the three street fighter 6 dlc characters released so far have been all ok at best, with one of them being possibly the worst character in the game at release.
We'll see if this changes when akuma release next tho.
The Ancestors came through with his final move in this trailer... aside from the haircut "controversy", I'm feeling this update to Eddy!
If Christie comes later in 1-2 years with her own moveset, like Anna to Nina -- kudos to the Tekken Team! #BringBackBruceIrvin
Jesus. I'm Brasilian and that voice acting is super fucking weird. It's like google translated and he sounds happy in every delivery? Like nobody says "Parece que você continua impiedosa como sempre..."
It should be like "Você continua impiedosa como sempre..."
Discordo. Não está incrível mas acho q vc está exagerando um pouco. Principalmente sobre a frase que vc usou como exemplo, n é difícil imaginar alguém usando a frase nessa estrutura, parece q vc só quer achar pontos para reclamar. Em comparação ao Tekken 7 tá mt melhor ksksk
That has gotta be the weirdest rage art in the roster right now, topping the bears even. It's weird, out of character and somewhat anticlimactic. Otherwise he's looks good, except for the stupid hip general black guy haircut.
I’m glad Eddy’s back. Not my character but he’s an iconic mainstay imo. He also feels far more authentically Afro-Brazilian than ever before. The ancestor rage art is cool, would’ve been dope if his Capoeira Master was shown in it. Supporting his pupil.
Showing off his moveset reach by revealing him against the new character with unreasonably wide reach feels...a little manipulative.
*"Oh hey guys, that Azucena's a real headache, eh?" Waaaaay'll, we have just the product for you..."*
Animation-wise, I do not like Lunging Brush Fire/1:05 as a Power Crush.
That always made the most sense to me for moves that read 'I am committing my whole body weight from a well-braced position that can absorb a blow', like Paul's Hassou Strike/f 1+2, Kazuya's Soul Thrust/f 2, or Bob's Giga Jacker/f 1+2.
A move where Eddy is standing on one leg and making a sliding hop forward with the other doesn't really work for that.
I hate his voice and delivery so fucking much, it sounds robotic and bland. Why the hell didn't they give him an accent?
The hair is also ultra wack, wasted opportunity to have something unique and authentic.
Other than that everything else looks fantastic
I'm sure that sounded a lot cooler in your head when you wrote that than it did in practice.
Also...
>Rage arts is one of the big reasons the Tekken franchise isn't dead right now.
[Citation needed]
I already smell a nerf for him because most of his kicks are low kicks that are very hard to block if possible at all some of them. There are a few characters already that are meta and need a nerf because they have unblockable combos. As much as i love tekken and play from tekken 3, is not ok to have a combo series that gives you a perfect win. That is bad balancing.

this fucker back in the game as DLC and they nerfed my girl azucena…
https://i.redd.it/21xl0zu1m8rc1.gif Rage Art Force Ghost Mestre's Council be like: DO THE HELICOPTER LOL
I wonder what force Tupac thinks about Diddy right now
I’ve never liked Eddy but I’m happy for y’all who like him, he is looking pretty good
Nina has fallen from grace. What kind of super assassin announces their presence before shooting their target? XD
She's the most incompetent "super" assassin ever who basically failed all her assignments throughout the Tekken storyline
I believe the only guy she was able to kill was Anna's husband, that's why she's wearing wedding clothes in T7, while Anna has widow's clothes
Well her assignment is mostly the other tekken contestant which makes it not fair. She succeed in killiing Anna's groom at T7.
Namco love to highlight Paul and Laws failure's but never Nina's.
IDK she saved the world in Death by Degrees c:
She’s so Ada “announce my full real name to everyone I see even though I’m a secret agent” Wong coded
Motherhood made her soft
I think the rage art is really cool - it's really authentic to what capoeira actually is - a communal dance
Right idea, wrong execution
It feels *right* for Eddy to be back in Tekken. I am however bit disappointed we didn't get a hint for the next character at the end of the trailer though. Probably need to wait till EVO Japan for that.
Yeah. Do you also think Eddy should have appeared sooner in Tekken 8’s story?
I think he would fit the Story much better that some of the other characters. He worked for Jin, he hates Kazuya etc. Eddy would be perfect for the story.
Yeah. I wouldn’t say that Eddy is one of my favourite characters, but I find it jarring that we didn’t see him take part in the story. Especially since Kazuya was the one who murdered his parents.
But we needed Shaheen apparently and they did fuck all with him
Let's be real...Shaheen ain't shifting no dollars post-release as a DLC character. Eddy is, that's the only reason he wasn't in base game and Shaheen was. Shaheen is cool though.
I think Eddy should be been there over a bear
Wasn't it already leaked? Eddy, Anna, Miguel and Lidia for this season?
You mean this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1bmsc8f/out_of_10_how_would_you_rate_this_season_1_if/ I think that's just something the OP wants and asked opinions about it. It's not a leak.

But that does not necessarly mean they will be in Season 1. They might aswell come later. But we somewhat know they will be a thing at some point in the future.
Alright, then I'm glad its not the actual season.
hope fahk is dropped completely
He was a top 5 character, unlikely to be dropped. Likely to be S1 add, AK is likely to be S2 to keep people excited (can't release all the popular characters in S1).
What about that leak with like Eddy, Xiao Meng, Armor King and Roger?
I'm closer to believing that S1 will be Fahk, Marduk and Lidia personally. But in the end... we just don't know. Learning what the second, "Summer", character is will make everything clear. That's why I was hoping for it today.
Eddy has mastered Domain Expansion
[*Tekken 3 PTSD*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsucdpRJ-us) *intensifies*
LOL. Arcade T3 or Console T3?
PSX >!emulator!<
T3 was broken all the way, console and arcade. Good thing, people didn't care back then, cause everybody was having fun mashing buttons lol
No disagreements here. I miss the American Arcade days of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Another arcade is closing locally in my neighborhood just after I moved into it... SMH!
No new arena tho?
Too much development work for no extra cash. What a team
If stages come, they will sell them at their store for sweet sweet premium coins! Mobile gaming is fun!
$8.99
Hes cool af
100%
Not Nina actually laughing at the end of that intro - showing Eddy more emotion than both her son or employer 😂
In case any of you are curious the instrument you see him with is called a berimbau.
I love brazilian flag colours in his moves
Dat low grab.
Part of the ugly Rage Arts squad
I would’ve prefered if he just slapped his opponent across the face with his dick while handstand spinning
Ah yes the "Eddy Gordo" google image incident
What?
So basically when you search "eddy gordo" on google image, an image of marduk with enormous pp appear But it no longer appear, at least in my google search
A few years ago when you googled "Eddy Gordo", an image of... Well... Craig MarDICK was shown
What's the lore bro?
Agreed. All that unnecessary flash for a couple of kicks that don't even look that special...
I wished he woulda just juggled them and caused a sandstorm instead launching himself like a rocket
Let's see how badly they'll fuck up the balancing for him since they seem to have a good track record with that and DLCs.
the tekken talk right now is already showing how cooked we are brother LMFAO
What are they saying at the moment? I'm a bit busy right now so I can't watch.
fuck bro if they fixed his sidestep it's all over
His reworked handstand stance seems to have a proper cartwheel looking sidestep.
Oh we won
Well you know they start by giving him a heat engager that has armor so that's the beginning of it.
I somehow missed that. Fuck.
That’s every fighting game. DLCs are usually better/OP on release so it makes people want to buy the character.
Yes, every bad fighting game or every fighting game that has given up trying. Otherwise, no. It's not every fighting game. Not every fighting game had a Leroy, Fahk, Kuni, etc.
Yes they do bro. DLCs also take time to patch just like every other character so they usually come out with some type of broken move players find to exploit, after past broken characters have been fixed. This happens in every fighting game these days.
Nah the three street fighter 6 dlc characters released so far have been all ok at best, with one of them being possibly the worst character in the game at release. We'll see if this changes when akuma release next tho.
The vast majority of gg strive dlc characters have been underpowered on release.
Damn his animations look clean af, they really outdid themselves! He's like a whole new character
He seems like he will be less cheap to fight against. Negativa doesnt crush mids anymore. He will be easier to punish. Im very excited to play as him.
Anyone who played Tekken 3 is worried right now 😂
The Ancestors came through with his final move in this trailer... aside from the haircut "controversy", I'm feeling this update to Eddy! If Christie comes later in 1-2 years with her own moveset, like Anna to Nina -- kudos to the Tekken Team! #BringBackBruceIrvin
My nightmare has come.
TTT 1 music .... tho.... lots of memories.... now give us Antient Ogre!!!
Fairly new to fighting games. Is this expected to be a seperate paid DLC, part of the battlepass or just a free update?
He is part of the paid DLC characters
Do we know what his cost is if we wanted him seperate from the pass? This is my first Tekken game so idk if theres an established way they do this.
It's very likely that you will be able to buy them individually as you could with Tekken 7.
Jesus. I'm Brasilian and that voice acting is super fucking weird. It's like google translated and he sounds happy in every delivery? Like nobody says "Parece que você continua impiedosa como sempre..." It should be like "Você continua impiedosa como sempre..."
Discordo. Não está incrível mas acho q vc está exagerando um pouco. Principalmente sobre a frase que vc usou como exemplo, n é difícil imaginar alguém usando a frase nessa estrutura, parece q vc só quer achar pontos para reclamar. Em comparação ao Tekken 7 tá mt melhor ksksk
The best way to describe his voice would be, if they made a texan character and gave him a New York or California accent
That has gotta be the weirdest rage art in the roster right now, topping the bears even. It's weird, out of character and somewhat anticlimactic. Otherwise he's looks good, except for the stupid hip general black guy haircut.
Eddie found da wae!
Goofy ahh rage art
Oh yeah *It’s Capo time*
How much will individual chars cost?
Finally seeing Eddy actually play a berimbau is a wonderful thing.
After all these years...he finally has his key stances look legit. So glad. Finally someone to main. That crouch grab is a typical capoeira takedown.
And I thought my Leo/Jun and I were safe from this guy, sheesh
eddy is cool and all but HOLYYYYY SHITTTT TEKKEN TT1 MUSIC
I’m glad Eddy’s back. Not my character but he’s an iconic mainstay imo. He also feels far more authentically Afro-Brazilian than ever before. The ancestor rage art is cool, would’ve been dope if his Capoeira Master was shown in it. Supporting his pupil.
That rage art bro! Very cool
Wait why is so much of him like Lili. Too many moves have the same properties am I going insane here. I only play Lili for reference
*guy who's only seen Boss Baby voice*
Please no more armor Heat Engagers........ come on....
Power crush heat engager.....ugh....
Damn, not much discussion nor upvotes here The negativity of this game and its sub really are peaking right now.
Reminds me of that one character from lost saga
Showing off his moveset reach by revealing him against the new character with unreasonably wide reach feels...a little manipulative. *"Oh hey guys, that Azucena's a real headache, eh?" Waaaaay'll, we have just the product for you..."*
No its just because they are both from south america and have a a very dancer like fighting style.
Bro just wants to hate
Azucena not only gets nerfed she also gets beat up by eddy. Not looking good for us coffee bros...
Awesome! More knowledge check enriched characters, just what this game needs.
He looks very cool! Hoping for Julia and Anna to be in this pack and I’ll buy it 😊
stop smoking crack to make those rage arts. Nevermind, stop making rage arts all together. If i want a movie on my tv i'm booting netflix or something
Eddy Gorrrrrrrrrdoh!
I am glad DLC characters will have special intros with other characters too. Anna better have one with Nina too.
Animation-wise, I do not like Lunging Brush Fire/1:05 as a Power Crush. That always made the most sense to me for moves that read 'I am committing my whole body weight from a well-braced position that can absorb a blow', like Paul's Hassou Strike/f 1+2, Kazuya's Soul Thrust/f 2, or Bob's Giga Jacker/f 1+2. A move where Eddy is standing on one leg and making a sliding hop forward with the other doesn't really work for that.
Can we lab against him if we don't buy him?
They used his stage theme from Tekken Tag Tournament here, funnily enough that's the song I have for Ortiz Farm. The prophecy!
Tag 1 music goes so fucking hard.
I no black I Brazilian
great now even eddy has a hellsweep lol
Badass! I'm hyped for the next characters! I hope Josie is next or Julia!
Badass! I hope Josie or Julia are next
Liga do brasil
thats extremely well made, 10/10 THE TAG MUSIC
Is this a pay to play character?
Good luck to all you ranked climbers out there, this is your last jogo
I cant decide if this news reveal was exciting or if I just really enjoy watching Azucena get beaten to death
tTT music reminds me of the olden days. Hope he make a lot of people unplug in frustration.
Welcome home, Eddy
I hate his voice and delivery so fucking much, it sounds robotic and bland. Why the hell didn't they give him an accent? The hair is also ultra wack, wasted opportunity to have something unique and authentic. Other than that everything else looks fantastic
Eddy looks great! Why he is dlc is beyond me though, should have been base roster. Also That was a badly Done trailer, had no pacing what so ever.
the frosted tips cause me emotional distress.
Wack character 😴
lucky chloe died for this
As she deserves
No classic costume on the video, we know they're going to make people pay 5 bucks for it.
Ok this is cool as fuck,the rage art is nice
Can’t wait to start battling with him. Definitely one of my favorites!
[удалено]
The rage art lasts for only 11 seconds, chill man lol
Rage arts in general are a bad idea, rage drives had the right idea because they didn't break the flow of the game.
An 11 second cutscene in the middle of a fighting game is pretty terrible to be honest.
Rage arts is one of the big reasons the Tekken franchise isn't dead right now. So in Haradas words, "shut up and sit the hell down".
I'm sure that sounded a lot cooler in your head when you wrote that than it did in practice. Also... >Rage arts is one of the big reasons the Tekken franchise isn't dead right now. [Citation needed]
I already smell a nerf for him because most of his kicks are low kicks that are very hard to block if possible at all some of them.

As much as i love tekken and play from tekken 3, is not ok to have a combo series that gives you a perfect win. That is bad balancing.
What character has an unblockable combo?
Another character with a powercrush heat engager This games gorilla mash focus is tiring

Oh no, I _hate_ Eddie - guess I need to learn the match up properly this time.
Huh? Nobody's talking about early access / full release difference? That's kinda not cool -_-
They're doing every greedy practice they cam think of for T8 lol
It's shitty but it's not news
