I remember how popular Eddy was in my neck of the woods back when Tekken 3 was out, every friend of mine played him, hell, me and a couple of my friends went to learn capoeira because of him, say what you want about Eddy, but he certainly was a brilliant addition to Tekken and to this day, an iconic design, one of the most recognizable ones in Tekken.

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

It’s a shame that the same can’t really be said with some of the newcomers we’ve been getting.

[@LinusVanPeltx986]

I agree, first time I saw Eddy I thought "damn, psx is the ultimate machine if we can play a character like him"

[@bluefalcon6356]

@@Cr1ms0nRav3n speaking of which, look at josie

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

@@bluefalcon6356 I heard originally that she was going to fight with Eskrima fighting style and potentially use Kali sticks. That would’ve made her far more memorable and tolerable (cuz her personality is annoying) as a new character and brought something new to the table the same way Eddy did back in T3. But instead they just gender swapped Bruce essentially. What a cop out.

[@KaoMinerva]

One of the most nerfed too. T7 Eddy isn't the REAL Eddy.

[@JunKazamaFan]

Eddy made a huge impact with his introduction. Even non-Tekken fans will easily recognize this guy.

[@_Adie]

Iconic. For a black kid growing up in Poland, this character was a godsend. I wouldn't pick anyone but him. Not because I wanted to play him (that would be Bryan), but because he looked like me. Finally, someone who looked like me. It was because of Eddy I wanted to learn capoeira (I didn't, it's not for me at all, as it turns out), and have dreadlocks. The impact of this character cannot be understated. Not only competitvely, but also culturally. And when it comes to mashing 3 and 4 - people still do that. My cousin to this day just picks Eddy and mashes those two buttons, nothing more. And it's still surprisingly effective.

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

I'm looking forward to seeing this video form El Hombre Principale.

[@JinKazshima]

My first ever player Tekken (and fighting game) character. I have family who don't even play games anymore and still talk about how amazing Eddy's moves were back in the days. 5:06 And this has to be the most iconic Eddy move ever

[@theksefan011]

Woow I am impressed with how easy it is for you to pronounce words in Brazilian Portuguese, it is rare to see someone outside speaking so correctly. (Obviously, brazilian here)

[@TheRealVaanmaster]

I think Eddy was also popular because he was in the tekken 3 demo in the demo collection with the ps1

This stage and this character was the very first look at tekken i had on a demo disc for playstation. The nostalgia is real. Closest arcade cabinet to me was an hour away in literally middle of no where backwater canada next to a lake

[@Jabermania]

@@KaoMinerva I just can't believe they gave him this stupid new move

[@SleepyFen]

6:36 - The reason it's so "inconsistent" is because Eddy (the opponent) is moving ALL OVER THE PLACE. Not only did he track you through sidesteps (so doing side throws on Eddy is pretty much impossible), but his idle stance has him moving forwards and backwards which meant there was always a random chance he'd just simply move out of the way of whatever the opponent was throwing at him. Kicks, punches and especially throws would fail to connect on Eddy where they'd land squarely on pretty much any other character. I can understand finding his moveset frustrating to play against, but his neutral dance dodging was the one thing that always made him downright infuriating to me. You see it at 6:47 as well - the opposing Eddy is tracking you as you attempt to sidestep, the kick, which would normally be a guaranteed launcher, misses its secondary high hit, and the throw is exceedingly difficult to land, not because of any mistake on your part, but because of his crouched idle stance and random movements back and forth.

[@prosketch95]

Tekken 3 Eddy theme is Godlike. Songs been stuck in my head for over 20 years

[@mqcyoutube1990]

Ngl, I love Eddy BUT I always thought it'd been much cooler if they had added a BJJ grappling-based character inspired by Royce Gracie. Still, super cool, and his Tekken 3 theme is one of the best.

[@seiotonashi4049]

yup i remembered this when i was kid...where my friends are playing tekken 3 where P1 and P2 controller is on rotation who ever losses change player and everyone plays eddy even me just to keep the controller on your hands...haha just button smashing x + o and you win... because we dont know combos or aerial combos way back then hahahaa..

[@jawnjawnson525]

What’s annoying about eddy is he just negates all of your pressure with relaxed. I don’t care what people say he’s still a very strong character in T7

[@diddlenfiddle7311]

He negates alot of punishment due to weird recovery too. Very annoying match up

[@Cherry91]

TK3 Eddy will forever be my favorite. 💛💚

[@elishathornton6143]

I will always hate fighting Eddy CPU and even online and as a honorable man I never pick him...but whenever my new friends get into the game I tell them to pick eddy and push kick buttons in different directions and they slam me. And I’m glad because he is a genius character for casuals who just wanna mash and have fun with buddies on the couch not Korean backdash across the screen and punish. So even tho I hate fighting him I never wanna see him go. He a goat for all the new fighting gamers who picked up tekken and fell in love.

In this game I relied heavily on the front handspring. Long range with easy transition to handstand or relaxer.

[@yousufzubair]

My god. The stages look smexy

[@LightshaverConstellation]

Eddy was pretty popular among me and my friends too when any of us would play together for 3 and tag one of us could just pick him and spam buttons without knowing what we were doing even though many of us understood the basics and even non basic stuff but just not it normal terms of today or only somewhat in some situations like frame s.

[@EDH10]

*ZOOM ZOOM CAPOEIRA*

[@seiryu265]

Ah yes, when the nightmare began.😂

[@HouseMusicNinja]

Eddy once you lab his frames, hes pretty fair to fight against. I mean he's doing what Capoeira does and that's to confuse you into false state of security. My cousin played him and I definitely appreciated the matchup seeing as I had trouble reading him initially.

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

[@Beforezzz]

Nice to see you've gotten better!

[@LightWavess]

i like how he's in such pain when he gets hit.

[@SleepyFen]

It's because he's not used to getting hit. His idle stance makes him dodge attacks at random as we see at multiple points in the video, he's also exceedingly hard to land throws on, and he tracks his opponent through sidesteps meaning it's almost impossible to get into position for a side throw outside of sidestepping at exactly the right timing while he's standing up.

[@iLoveHARDHD]

I love how eddy represents my country, love u mainman, big fan

[@rohy85]

Now I'm seasick

[@javierperezmerino9457]

Mi first memories of tekken are me and my cousin playing tekken 5 i think. My cousin was beating me all the time with king's throws because he was the kid with the game between my friend group. My first victory against him was spammimg eith Eddy because no one told me how to play. When i discovered the 2 palm stance i evaded all kings throws and for that moment i thought he was the most overpowered thing in the world

I hope they remake tekken 3 this was my favorite tekken off all time

[@toilethead1011]

the ground frames on his ch b+4 used to be rather good. The stun was long enough to get a full d/f3+4 even if you couldn't actually follow it up with much of anything in this game.

[@matthewhall1467]

Funny thing is most of the time growing up, you got blown up by like 5% of Eddie’s actual tech. Coming from SF, my brother beat my ass 50 times in a row (true story with Yun) until I learned how to properly block so Eddie wasn’t an awful time for me when I first picked up Tekken (ARMOR KING ARMY!)

[@afrikasmith1049]

Mmswe: Why is he speaking spanish and italian? Maybe German? Me: I was also confused by Eddy's origins back when I first played Tekken 3. I was in elementary school at the time and I never payed attention to anything and world history wasn't important at that time. That's why I thought Brazil was in Africa until I got older. I didn't even know slavery was a thing in other countries until I got older. Now it's easy to learn about things like Capoira thanks to the internet. Amazing how so much could change in 22 years.

[@dannyleon9519]

Jajaja qué gracioso, soy mexicano pero entendí lo que dijo al principio

[@Brian-rx9sp]

Also the camera constantly tilting because of Eddy's idle animation is pretty annoying. I think it does the same thing with Law as well. Was it because of a design limitation or did someone at Namco think it looked cool?

He suffers the same as leroy, his issue was being too cool for us but so easy to play with.
