By the passion of your voice, you’re clearly a true Tekken fan. I’ve seen you play multiple characters and you’re great with them. But Eddy is your pride and joy as he is mines.
I think what he means by that statement is that if u r a True fan of Tekken u will find joy n multiple characters and not just 1. But at the same time u r a consumer and u most voice your concerns respectfully and the best way is with your wallet. If they refuse to put your main n the game u have the right to say I will not purchase Tekken 8 until they add Eddy to the game.
Agreed bro, as much as I love Leroy my spirit will always drive me back to Eddy as what happened in Tekken 7 Despite the fun I was having with Katarina & Leroy. It all becomes harder with the absence of the main. And also this is my first experience of not having my main character in a game of this magnitude.
I find it very dope that you're a character just like I am. I really didn't get into Marshall Law until T6, you've been playing Eddy since since T3. That is beyond awesome.
Tekken as a franchise began to change drastically after Tekken 5, and Eddy was/is my anchor to the point I fell in love to with Tekken. Now he's potentially gone. Being annoyed or upset about it or questioning my purchase doesn't mean I was never a fan. Game development executives don't care about fans they care about numbers. Harada has openly said they try things to get non tekken players to buy Tekken. ITs a BUSINESS. Eddy and a select few characters still do real martial arts and they're being slowly pushed aside for nonsense like Claudio. Tekken wasn't always about homogenized characters all forced into the same combo structure either. I enjoy Tekken truly, but if feels like I've been very patient with the series changing in ways I don't like. It does not make me or anyone a "fake fan" for acknowledging it. Given the choice between Tekken 8 in its current state and a Tekken 5 or 5dr with functioning netcode. Well Id take the functioning Tekken 5. Also in terms of character usage those percentages you see on the internet are fraudulent because they're for steam only. At one point some one did it for steam and ps4 and more people had Eddy as they're highest rank character than chloe, heihachi, yoshi and various other Fan favorite/iconic characters. This didnt even include xbox one. Then season 3 runs around and an individual does his own statistics based on steam only. Again not that pick rate matters but I find it convenient when people use the logic Eddy had a low pick rate to justify his non inclusion.
I just learned something and what you said does make sense that the percentage would be steam exclusively because how people rave over PC all of the time.
I can hear it in your voice that your truly dedicated and passionate about the series and your character that your interested in. Over the past recent years now I've been seen FGs in a different light and what makes them so special for you as fans. I get what you're saying somewhat because I myself am a fan of the DBZ and Naruto games and left traditional fighters on the side though I still played them and appreciate their aspects and nuances. I've been playin these anime arena fighters since PS2 and was always looking forward to every release. Each game I gotten I was eager to see and feel how these were different mechanically, what amount of characters are in the game, what new content is added into the game and how I can improve in any facet with the character that I played. Over these recent years it felt that anime arena fighters haven't been putting in the effort as they use to with the exception of Naruto Storm 4 but still they don't hit like they use to. Back then we played fighters such as SF2, SFA3 Max, KOF 2000 and 2001 Tekken Tag 1, Tekken 4, MK Armageddon, MK Shaolin Monks, SC2, DOA3 and so on. We had quite the amount of fun with their story content characters and gameplay and mechanics. Now after getting to know about the FGC and knowing y they loved and supported these games for so long, and revisiting these games we use to have I'm now trying to get into KOF 15 and become good at it. And will be divin in other FGs like SF6 and MK1 but the cheddar is hard to come by :( But excellent vid bro let them MFs know that u want your main back keep up the good fight for a better FGC!! 💯💯
Good vid as always my good friend,bro when you spoke i really felt that bro,and i can tell how loyal you is to your character,and tbh that's it's started with me being a tekken a fan marshall law got me into tekken since the 90s back during the first 2 tekken games,but 3 got me into the series even more just like you,i always used law because i'm a huge bruce lee fan and him and lei wulong was the reason i actually got into tekken every since i was a kid,btw don't worry my good friend i'm for sure eddy is in tekken 8 no way they are going to take him out of the base roster and replace him,he is a very popular character and deserves a spot in the base roster,and you are a true tekken fan i know this by watching all of your vids.
Thanks Dee for answering to my comment. My bad. It wasn't meant to be a beefy or mean spirited comment. I understand your point now. I'm 36 so I've been enjoying Tekken since tekken 2. btw my top 3 ranked in T7 is Eddy, Hwoarang and Caludio. I like Eddy and heihachi the most. I will never stop playing Tekken even if my 2 fav characters are not in the game. Peace man
I totally feel you on this whole video cause I feel the same way! I've always been a fan of Tekken since 4 came out but I never took it serious or was determined to get better at the game until I picked up Lucky Chloe in Tekken 7! I have a lot of history with Lucky Chloe which is why I defend the character a lot cause she was a big reason why I became better at Tekken in general tbh! If Lucky Chloe isn't in Tekken 8 then I guess I'm not a real Tekken fan then according to that one person cause I'm not gonna play Tekken 8 if that's the case!
When I had played the arcade TEKKEN 2 machine during my high school years (Particularly 1999), I had used 3 characters: 🐤🎷Bruce, 🌹Lee, and Kazuya. Those 3 characters have been the most standout characters to me during my journey up to TEKKEN 5. In 2001, when I had bought my first TEKKEN game, TEKKEN TAG 1 for PS2, I made it a priority to unlock 🐤🎷Bruce and take him to practice mode. I'm more biased towards the TEKKEN 2 characters because TEKKEN 2 is the game that got me into the series. I had first tried Eddy in TEKKEN TAG 1 out of curiosity, but didn't realize how fun he was to use until I labbed him in TEKKEN 4. 2016 was when I've added Armor King and Raven to my squad of mains which already consisted of Bruce, Kazuya, Eddy, and Lee. Michael Murray's dumbass is constantly talking about "character usage" and he tried to say on Twitter that I wasn't a true TEKKEN fan because I didn't like the fact that 🐤🎷Bruce Irvin wasn't in TEKKEN 7. 🕶🐶Leroy is one of my newest main faves but as you've said, Leroy doesn't have that history and legacy the OG characters like 🐤🎷Bruce & 🍍Eddy have. My first ever gameplay footage on my channel is of 🐤🎷Bruce Irvin so to me he has priority over all of the other characters I use.
Despite Armor King not being in the game, I'm not gonna be sad af because of it, that's why I take time to actually learn other characters instead, and because I like a varuety of em, so I'm not really a character loyalist like that. But this was still a good vid.
Lucky Chloe was the highest? That's crazy and yeah Nina being low isn't a surprise. Nina is infamous for being poorly used. She's a well known character but definitely not the most popular
Yeah, I’m actually shocked how unliked Nina is. But the fact that she’s an original pretty much makes her safe in every Tekken roster. Plus she’s also part of the story’s nucleus.
Ok. I play Eddy since Tekken 3, since 90th. And I still love Tekken, still play Eddy. It’s so disrespectful not to include Eddy in T8. Disrespect for a lot of fans\players. I’m not gonna buy T8 if there’s no Eddy.
The feeling of not being able to fully enjoy the without the character that we literally grew up really hurts. I don’t know what namco is thinking but what they’re doing is wrong and hopefully they will change the stupid roster decision.
I was just button mashing playing Tekken 4 and 5 on my PS2 and Tag 2 and Tekken DR on PS3 (I was 5 - 9) I started playing Tekken 7 when I bought it on Covid Lockdown in 2020 and took it seriously in 2022
@@DeeallthewayGI picked up Kazuya and Jin so I'm hyped for story mode cause in Tekken 7 story mode, I was struggling cause I didn't know how to use Heihachi.
Eddy or Christy or possibly even both! will highly likely be in Tekken 8 At some point so i wouldnt panic yet bro! As long as Tekken 8 is super successful the DLC will keep coming
Bout to hit you with a text wall like hell but... To kinda pull that "you're not a real fan" card is kinda wild to me because that's how fighting games and having mains in them work. Especially when we talk about games that sorta pride themselves on inclusivity (despite Tekken only having 8 black characters as a whole but no shade, I promise). They give you multiple characters to choose from so that you can pick the character(s) that fit(s) your personal play style, and even develop a sort of parasocial bond through frequent use-... because in a nutshell, that is how these games garner fans aside from the general feel of the game itself. But that's NOT to say that I DON'T get where that comes from. I play as a multitude of characters (and probably will in this one if Eddy isn't in) but none of the alternatives that I play are even as REMOTELY interesting to me as Eddy Gordo is (no shade). It's why I stand behind the fact that you can still be a big fan of the series and be a loyalist. It's why a lot people are disappointed with T8 now because it's an almost alienating and disadvantageous feeling to not have a character that you're even remotely interested in, let alone put a lot of time into. Like imagine how Bruce fans, Roger/Alex fans, Wang fans might feel to this day.
I've also been an Eddy main / loyalist since Tekken 3 (admittedly, he's also one of the reasons I even practice Capoeira myself). 😅 He's personally one of the characters that I not only resonate with as a young black person but he's a character that I've put time and dedication into. Before him it was Kunimitsu and she disappeared from 3 on up until TTT and then again until TTT2. Eddy (for me) is a feel good character not just because he looks like me but because I feel like I couldn't grasp any of the other characters in Tekken quite like I could with him. He's some one I can just sit in practice mode and grind with for hours & hours without getting bored. He's one of the only characters that feels authentically cool for what he is without being stereotypical (kinda like how I feel Wu Tang Papi and Blerd Bird are but again no shade 😅 I actually really like them both).
Well i just wanted to know if Eddy would be in the new one, you just answered and it's no, he will not be in it. Well i won't buy it, i have practiced more than 20 years of capoeira and he was my main character, i just wanted to replay this because I have a ps5 now. Well might as well buy number 7. I would say with no hesitation no Eddy no buying the game. I played this game because of him, love the other characters but always coming back to him as main. Thanks bro, keep it up.
Hell i love the Tekken series Because the diversity and the representation of countries and fighting styles! As someone who enjoys story, i actually like the story of the mishimas and whatnot. All other characters are caught in the crossfire and that's what fascinates me.
@@DeeallthewayG Eddy is not on the main roster it seems so he'll be DLC. And yes, I would love to see him and Kazuya settle things. Same with Miguel settling things with Jin. Revenge plays a major part in the Tekken story in some way.
To be honest with you I like Eddy Gordo for a lot of reasons. 1. His storyline tekken 3 to 6 not tekken 7 with was trash. 2. It gave me a sense of pride for black culture and 3. Capoeira History with is unique that made me a Capoeira Practitioner. Some people may think this is silly but the real one's they understand where i'm coming from. Characters like this is rare...
I consider myself a true tekken fan cause even though I'm waiting for my main eddy to drop I still been getting it in in rank trying out all different characters seeing how far I can push them
Then I guess I'm not a Tekken fan if Kazuya who is like a Fighting Game Character version of Vegeta is not in the next Tekken. DORYAH is MAH GO TO, I'M NOT ME WITHOUT IT!
There are not many fighting styles that were created by Africans that appear in video games. Capoeira is the only one . Eddy is the most unique fighter because of the history behind his fighting style. He is important and he needs to be Tekken 8. Please don’t make us wait years to buy him as a dlc character.
I suppose I started to take tekken seriously when tekken 7 had got Master Raven. I'm nowhere near mighty or divine ruler. But I love the character design and her playstyle. And yes, slowly becoming a fan of Nina her movement and ChainGrabs are ridiculously useful dude. Every time I play online to an eddy main.... I always get smashed. And it's not many eddy mains but when I see eddy, yeah, fate sealed.
@@DeeallthewayG she doesn't use those shadows like Raven does. Sure, she teleports, but that's about it. Sure I think Ravens Shadows are pretty fucking cool. I'd honestly hope they kinda keep a similar moveset from tekken 7. But you know what I found interesting? They completely simplified movesets. Some of the commands are less aggressive and kings chain grabs are easier to perform. Idk if that's good. Imo I don't like it. And I hope Raven gets the Lee treatment when it comes to getting two options I. E. Violet /Master Raven for those who prefer Master Raven over Raven with an augmented move list.
A REAL Tekken Fan was a fan BEFORE rage, rage drives, rage arts, crushing blows, and heat. A REAL Tekken fan learned by experience through the years and not by TH-cam tutorials. And you ain’t no REAL Tekken fan if you didn’t start playing before, during or in between Tekken 3 and Tekken 5. If you don’t buy Tekken 8 because your main didn’t make it in, it’s because you are a Character Loyalist. A Character Loyalist is just that, loyal to the character they use in whatever the series is. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. The person who left the comment is trying to shame folks into buying a product that is not currently meeting their needs. I like and use Eddy, BUT I am not an Eddy loyalist. My mains are Nina and Raven. Nina has been in since the beginning, so I have nothing to worry about with her inclusion in the series. Raven, being my sub main and just getting in is just another cherry on top. So who am I to expect folks to be happy if their main didn’t make it in like mine? I wouldn’t buy Tekken 8 either. I truly hope Eddy makes it in because the Bandwagon Capo Hate Club clowns need a good reason to whine about getting mixed by “Capos” in every Tekken game even after he’s clearly been nerfed as a result of their whining.
@@DeeallthewayG Like always. Nerf after nerf and no true side step until he’s just taken out of the game. Side stepping is absolutely ridiculous in Tekken 8. I got to play the CNT. If you didn’t side step, you won’t stand a chance in Tekken 8.
@@taeiloasiale697 especially after all of these years we were blessed with him being in every base roster, and now we have to suffer after so many years.😢
@@DeeallthewayG I look back at the trailer of azucena. She got some my main Miguel movement already and his sets of stance. This is sad for me. My main Miguel is gone forever. I'm hurt and may force go back with lee chaolan, panda, raven and of course Jin kazama
After playing Tekken 3 OG Eddy,Tekken 4 with Eddy T3 voice... why did that person threatened harada because of Eddy not in base roster Tekken 8. Does Eddy have a chance for Tekken 8 as DLC? I miss the character of how much he impact in Tekken 3
I think what makes a true tekken fan is to enjoy a tekken game for what it is no matter how good or bad it is and no Matter if is a main series game or spin off game or a crossover game it doesn't matter
I have an idea why don't you do a video on all the memories you once had with Eddie gordo on your channel and I mean that play all of Eddie gordo appearances in the Tekken franchise
That sounds like a great idea. I would have modify it a bit because it would be like a 2 hour video 😂😂. But I could definitely do that but it would take some good time💯
My first Tekken game was T3 and Eddy was the reason why I sticked with Tekken. It also made me discover capoeira. By the look of the demo, Eddy wont be in or it will be in as a paid DLC and as long as it pains me I won't buy something that should be in. I don't buy DLCs because they are a ripp off. I'm from an era when games shipped full version. No DLCs and no BS updates. No Eddy no Tekken.
@@DeeallthewayG have you noticed with T7, with every update they do they nerf characters and saved replays are good to delete because you can't watch them anymore. I still have TTAG2 replays that work this day even after patches. No Tekken Force... Copied "arcade mode" from Street Fighter... Tekken is dead... Last good Tekken in my opinion was Tekken 5 on PS2 It even had old Tekken games on it. A true Tekken game should have ALL characters from the begging and all stages and all modes with improved graphics. And No paywall BS...
@@NaturalSelection. yes, Tekken 7 had a lot of questionable glitches, and most of them were ignored on purpose, but Michael Murray gave the excuse that you can easily just record replays from the console. But people couldn’t do that all the time because it would erase saved data from other games, a lot of glitches Tekken 7 had.
I grew up playing all the tekken games as a kid since 2001 starting with tekken 2 so I grew up with all the og characters including eddy. Hes honestly not my favorite character but whether or not hes in the game doesnt bother me at all but I can understand why people can be upset about their favorite character not returning. I wanted Jun to come back for years and I still stuck around cause I just love tekken and fighting games period. I still want michelle to come back but if they bring back julia instead that's fine too. I just prefer Michelle since she was first
Eddy Gordo is the most picked on character in Tekken! 1. Removed him from Tekken 4 (gender bender) 2. Start taking moves from him, because he's waaay better than Jin! (Walking Hand Stand) Gone! (Elbow Uppercut Pop-up) Changed! 3. Every Game & Patch Eddy's getting reduced strength, speed & Damage! How A Grown Man Going To Have A -1 Fame Damage On Any Attack!? Took The Damn Afro Hairstyle! WTF? 4. The Relax Position: If I'm Laying On The Group How Am I Able To Be Hit By Mid's High Level Attacks!? Last But Not Least Character's have all sorts of weapons, reversals laser beams, forcefield Shields and even attack animal and Eddy Gordo Can't Get A Damn Reversal!?
Lucky Chloe & Lily was characters that was made up of moves that they didn't want to give Eddy! Anyone that knows the fighting style can see it! Plus THEY HAVE REVERSALS!😮😮😮
You’re absolutely right, lucky chloes spinning low kicks should definitely gone to Eddy, not to mention her spring kick is practically Eddy’s with a safe property.
Now I love Eddy I also think it's stupid these other characters that r not as popular but don't add Eddy. However, this partly y'all fault. U say u want Eddy but enough of u r not playing Eddy.
I’m not in that category as you can see in my content I play Eddy like crazy, from a dedicated standpoint. The casual gamers are partly to blame because of their lack of dedication or sense of purpose when choosing these characters.
@@DeeallthewayG there is a chance Harada could still salvage this if he puts Eddy n season 1 DLC. I would mean u have to pay more just to have the experience u should be allowed form the base game but we gamers should be use to paying its gaming after all. I was also considering a petition for Eddy to be put in the game as soon as possible.
Bruh why is it so hard for you to understand that there is a massive part of the tekken community from the middle east that wants to see someone that they can connect with, just like you connected with eddie. Stop hating on shaheen!
Man just came for my neck as a Chloe main, I didn't pick the character because she was scrubby. I picked the character because I like her fighting style. The dancing, cartwheels, and windmills was the coolest concept to me as a tekken character. She legitimately made the game fun for me. Hate that I just get labeled as some scrubby mouth breather for enjoying a appealing character. Really make me just feel less connected to the tekken community from all the hate that girls spewed at me
By the passion of your voice, you’re clearly a true Tekken fan. I’ve seen you play multiple characters and you’re great with them. But Eddy is your pride and joy as he is mines.
Facts!💯💯 #eddy4Life
Yes, but that comment does strike a valid point to a degree. Does being a fan of only 1 specific character of Tekken make you a real Tekken fan???
@@homeoftek5844 yes it does, all you need is one character, because of that one character my knowledge of the game is unprecedented 💯

They give you multiple characters to choose from so that you can pick the character(s) that fit(s) your personal play style, and even develop a sort of parasocial bond through frequent use-... because in a nutshell, that is how these games garner fans aside from the general feel of the game itself.
But that's NOT to say that I DON'T get where that comes from. I play as a multitude of characters (and probably will in this one if Eddy isn't in) but none of the alternatives that I play are even as REMOTELY interesting to me as Eddy Gordo is (no shade). It's why I stand behind the fact that you can still be a big fan of the series and be a loyalist. It's why a lot people are disappointed with T8 now because it's an almost alienating and disadvantageous feeling to not have a character that you're even remotely interested in, let alone put a lot of time into. Like imagine how Bruce fans, Roger/Alex fans, Wang fans might feel to this day.
I've also been an Eddy main / loyalist since Tekken 3 (admittedly, he's also one of the reasons I even practice Capoeira myself). 😅 He's personally one of the characters that I not only resonate with as a young black person but he's a character that I've put time and dedication into. Before him it was Kunimitsu and she disappeared from 3 on up until TTT and then again until TTT2. Eddy (for me) is a feel good character not just because he looks like me but because I feel like I couldn't grasp any of the other characters in Tekken quite like I could with him. He's some one I can just sit in practice mode and grind with for hours & hours without getting bored. He's one of the only characters that feels authentically cool for what he is without being stereotypical (kinda like how I feel Wu Tang Papi and Blerd Bird are but again no shade 😅 I actually really like them both).
Well i just wanted to know if Eddy would be in the new one, you just answered and it's no, he will not be in it. Well i won't buy it, i have practiced more than 20 years of capoeira and he was my main character, i just wanted to replay this because I have a ps5 now. Well might as well buy number 7. I would say with no hesitation no Eddy no buying the game. I played this game because of him, love the other characters but always coming back to him as main. Thanks bro, keep it up.
You’re welcome bro, but there’s still a big chance for Eddy to be. There’s still eight slots left on the roster. So there’s still some time left.
Hell i love the Tekken series Because the diversity and the representation of countries and fighting styles!
As someone who enjoys story, i actually like the story of the mishimas and whatnot.
All other characters are caught in the crossfire and that's what fascinates me.
I want Eddy to face Kazuya so bad, even if he loses I just want see the confrontation.
@@DeeallthewayG Eddy is not on the main roster it seems so he'll be DLC. And yes, I would love to see him and Kazuya settle things.
Same with Miguel settling things with Jin.
Revenge plays a major part in the Tekken story in some way.
@@PowerStunna we’ll see who the last eight slots will be. I do believe Harada when he said they changed things when it comes to the base roster.
I feel you.
To be honest with you I like Eddy Gordo for a lot of reasons. 1. His storyline tekken 3 to 6 not tekken 7 with was trash. 2. It gave me a sense of pride for black culture and 3. Capoeira History with is unique that made me a Capoeira Practitioner. Some people may think this is silly but the real one's they understand where i'm coming from. Characters like this is rare...
I consider myself a true tekken fan cause even though I'm waiting for my main eddy to drop I still been getting it in in rank trying out all different characters seeing how far I can push them
"YoU GuYs ArE NoT ReAlly TekkEn FaNs" that's a pathetic move first all yoshimitsu brings me into tekken and I appreciate yoshimitsu so much.
I’m glad you understand where I’m coming from bro.💯
@@DeeallthewayG yes sirr
Then I guess I'm not a Tekken fan if Kazuya who is like a Fighting Game Character version of Vegeta is not in the next Tekken. DORYAH is MAH GO TO, I'M NOT ME WITHOUT IT!
Yoshi is more a soul Calibur character than he is a tekken a character. Not hating on the character I think he’s quite cool
@@kickass2733He fits in the game too since they also wield weapons but I'd wish that he'd have his Tekken designs especially 3 Tag 2 and 8
Eddy is famous man. Pretty sure he is gonna be a dlc.
I hope so bro💯
There are not many fighting styles that were created by Africans that appear in video games. Capoeira is the only one . Eddy is the most unique fighter because of the history behind his fighting style. He is important and he needs to be Tekken 8. Please don’t make us wait years to buy him as a dlc character.
I hope that’s not the case either, that would be very devastating to the fan base, if anything I hope he’s a season 1 DLC at best.
I suppose I started to take tekken seriously when tekken 7 had got Master Raven. I'm nowhere near mighty or divine ruler. But I love the character design and her playstyle. And yes, slowly becoming a fan of Nina her movement and ChainGrabs are ridiculously useful dude. Every time I play online to an eddy main.... I always get smashed. And it's not many eddy mains but when I see eddy, yeah, fate sealed.
Yeah, I prefer Master Raven over Raven. It’s sad to see her not there also. She was a true sista lol💯
@@DeeallthewayG she doesn't use those shadows like Raven does. Sure, she teleports, but that's about it. Sure I think Ravens Shadows are pretty fucking cool. I'd honestly hope they kinda keep a similar moveset from tekken 7. But you know what I found interesting?
They completely simplified movesets. Some of the commands are less aggressive and kings chain grabs are easier to perform. Idk if that's good. Imo I don't like it. And I hope Raven gets the Lee treatment when it comes to getting two options I. E. Violet /Master Raven for those who prefer Master Raven over Raven with an augmented move list.
@@DeeallthewayGIf they brought Her back they should have her use her Sword more and give her new Moves to aeperate her from Raven
A REAL Tekken Fan was a fan BEFORE rage, rage drives, rage arts, crushing blows, and heat. A REAL Tekken fan learned by experience through the years and not by TH-cam tutorials.
And you ain’t no REAL Tekken fan if you didn’t start playing before, during or in between Tekken 3 and Tekken 5.
If you don’t buy Tekken 8 because your main didn’t make it in, it’s because you are a Character Loyalist.
A Character Loyalist is just that, loyal to the character they use in whatever the series is. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that.
The person who left the comment is trying to shame folks into buying a product that is not currently meeting their needs.
I like and use Eddy, BUT I am not an Eddy loyalist. My mains are Nina and Raven. Nina has been in since the beginning, so I have nothing to worry about with her inclusion in the series. Raven, being my sub main and just getting in is just another cherry on top.
So who am I to expect folks to be happy if their main didn’t make it in like mine? I wouldn’t buy Tekken 8 either. I truly hope Eddy makes it in because the Bandwagon Capo Hate Club clowns need a good reason to whine about getting mixed by “Capos” in every Tekken game even after he’s clearly been nerfed as a result of their whining.
That’s another reason why they shouldn’t take Eddy out, they’re giving the cap haters exactly what they want, sadly.
@@DeeallthewayG Like always. Nerf after nerf and no true side step until he’s just taken out of the game.
Side stepping is absolutely ridiculous in Tekken 8. I got to play the CNT. If you didn’t side step, you won’t stand a chance in Tekken 8.
Well said, been tekken fan since Christie n now Eddy👌
I will fight to the end to get Eddy back in the game💯💯
Really unfair for us Eddy fans🤦♂️
@@taeiloasiale697 especially after all of these years we were blessed with him being in every base roster, and now we have to suffer after so many years.😢
@DeeallthewayG and there is no character in T8 that's really similar to Eddy 🤦♂️🤦♂️ I think il just stick to T7 for now until they bring Eddy back.
@@taeiloasiale697 yeah, T8 base roster is super dull and uninspired. Leroy is the only that I honestly care for in Tekken 8.
What makes me fan Tekken is 🇧🇷 Eddy Gordo capoeira without Eddy Gordo don't Make Sense ! Eddy Gordo is fun and the best fighter
Facts bro, and everything he does in battle is real and not fabricated like most characters.💯💯
Good topic to discuss man.
Right on bro, people need to realize the connection we have to a character that makes us appreciate the game.💯
@@DeeallthewayG true to that but I got bad news
@@DeeallthewayG I look back at the trailer of azucena. She got some my main Miguel movement already and his sets of stance. This is sad for me. My main Miguel is gone forever. I'm hurt and may force go back with lee chaolan, panda, raven and of course Jin kazama
@@jondeiconic2552 it’s starting to look like was created to De-confirm multiple characters 💯
@@DeeallthewayG yup. I'm hurt for now but I'm not going to attack harada-san is pointless to reason with him. Is time to move along.
After playing Tekken 3 OG Eddy,Tekken 4 with Eddy T3 voice... why did that person threatened harada because of Eddy not in base roster Tekken 8. Does Eddy have a chance for Tekken 8 as DLC? I miss the character of how much he impact in Tekken 3
Eddy will be in tekken 8 harada trolling us
I hope so bro.
1:05
T: (You guys are not really Tekken fans if you stop playing because of your main)
THIS FOOL.😤
Yeah bro, it’s a weird logic.
I think what makes a true tekken fan is to enjoy a tekken game for what it is no matter how good or bad it is and no Matter if is a main series game or spin off game or a crossover game it doesn't matter
What really matters is that enjoy the game for what it is that what makes you a true tekken fan
Eddy for life if he's not in Tekken 8 I'm not buying it
I have an idea why don't you do a video on all the memories you once had with Eddie gordo on your channel and I mean that play all of Eddie gordo appearances in the Tekken franchise
So it would become like a legacy for Eddie
That sounds like a great idea. I would have modify it a bit because it would be like a 2 hour video 😂😂. But I could definitely do that but it would take some good time💯
Go off bro 💪🏾💪🏾
You already know, Tru Talk in full effect 💯💯🔥🔥
My first Tekken game was T3 and Eddy was the reason why I sticked with Tekken.
It also made me discover capoeira.
By the look of the demo, Eddy wont be in or it will be in as a paid DLC and as long as it pains me I won't buy something that should be in.
I don't buy DLCs because they are a ripp off.
I'm from an era when games shipped full version.
No DLCs and no BS updates.
No Eddy no Tekken.
I definitely agree bro, I really hate this DLC era, it compromises the passion of the games.
@@DeeallthewayG have you noticed with T7, with every update they do they nerf characters and saved replays are good to delete because you can't watch them anymore.
I still have TTAG2 replays that work this day even after patches.
No Tekken Force...
Copied "arcade mode" from Street Fighter...
Tekken is dead...
Last good Tekken in my opinion was Tekken 5 on PS2
It even had old Tekken games on it.
A true Tekken game should have ALL characters from the begging and all stages and all modes with improved graphics.
And No paywall BS...
@@NaturalSelection. yes, Tekken 7 had a lot of questionable glitches, and most of them were ignored on purpose, but Michael Murray gave the excuse that you can easily just record replays from the console. But people couldn’t do that all the time because it would erase saved data from other games, a lot of glitches Tekken 7 had.
@@DeeallthewayG saving replays was a feature that worked but in T7 that feature was broken
@@NaturalSelection. it definitely was, that’s I always saves on my flash drive because it was unreliable 💯
No Eddy, no money from me will be spent on Tekken 8. Simple.
And that’s exactly how I feel right now bro, although Leroy is in the game it’s just not going to be enough.
I grew up playing all the tekken games as a kid since 2001 starting with tekken 2 so I grew up with all the og characters including eddy. Hes honestly not my favorite character but whether or not hes in the game doesnt bother me at all but I can understand why people can be upset about their favorite character not returning. I wanted Jun to come back for years and I still stuck around cause I just love tekken and fighting games period. I still want michelle to come back but if they bring back julia instead that's fine too. I just prefer Michelle since she was first
To make you a little happy Jun and Michelle were in the Tekken Tag Games
@@hurricane7727 I know. I played all the tekken games. I'm referring to the canon games
@@kazamastylebatsurealmofbea6269 True. They have Left Michelle out since Tekken 2 as well as Alex
Eddy Gordo is the most picked on character in Tekken!
1. Removed him from Tekken 4 (gender bender)
2. Start taking moves from him, because he's waaay better than Jin! (Walking Hand Stand) Gone!
(Elbow Uppercut Pop-up) Changed!
3. Every Game & Patch Eddy's getting reduced strength, speed & Damage! How A Grown Man Going To Have A -1 Fame Damage On Any Attack!?
Took The Damn Afro Hairstyle! WTF?
4. The Relax Position: If I'm Laying On The Group How Am I Able To Be Hit By Mid's High Level Attacks!?
Last But Not Least Character's have all sorts of weapons, reversals laser beams, forcefield Shields and even attack animal and Eddy Gordo Can't Get A Damn Reversal!?
Lucky Chloe & Lily was characters that was made up of moves that they didn't want to give Eddy! Anyone that knows the fighting style can see it! Plus THEY HAVE REVERSALS!😮😮😮
You’re absolutely right, lucky chloes spinning low kicks should definitely gone to Eddy, not to mention her spring kick is practically Eddy’s with a safe property.
Eddy was in Tekken 4 as a Playable Character. Beat Christie Story Mode
Lucky Chloe got high usage but she got a lot of complaints that y she's not there. She was broken
Exactly, that’s why the character usage percentage thing is untrustworthy and shouldn’t be relied on.
I main ling xiaoyu and she very low on the list and sge is also there
Character usage data = Fan made Polls
your at the mercy of the devs for rather or not your main is back lol
If the devs want that 💵💵they’ll put some characters back in😂😂💵💯
It's sad to play Tekken 8 when there's no Lei Wulong
Now I love Eddy I also think it's stupid these other characters that r not as popular but don't add Eddy. However, this partly y'all fault. U say u want Eddy but enough of u r not playing Eddy.
I’m not in that category as you can see in my content I play Eddy like crazy, from a dedicated standpoint. The casual gamers are partly to blame because of their lack of dedication or sense of purpose when choosing these characters.
@@DeeallthewayG there is a chance Harada could still salvage this if he puts Eddy n season 1 DLC. I would mean u have to pay more just to have the experience u should be allowed form the base game but we gamers should be use to paying its gaming after all. I was also considering a petition for Eddy to be put in the game as soon as possible.
You are a real tekken fan in you play Kuma.
Bruh why is it so hard for you to understand that there is a massive part of the tekken community from the middle east that wants to see someone that they can connect with, just like you connected with eddie. Stop hating on shaheen!
Man just came for my neck as a Chloe main, I didn't pick the character because she was scrubby. I picked the character because I like her fighting style. The dancing, cartwheels, and windmills was the coolest concept to me as a tekken character. She legitimately made the game fun for me. Hate that I just get labeled as some scrubby mouth breather for enjoying a appealing character. Really make me just feel less connected to the tekken community from all the hate that girls spewed at me
