Tekken 7's got a new challenger, it would seem. According to a pictures obtained by Avoiding The Puddle, veteran fighter Eddy Gordo has just been revealed at an event in Brazil - which makes sense, seeing as that's where the capoeira master hails from.
Eddy first entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament back in Tekken 3, and he's been a staple ever since. A tricky opponent, Eddy's moveset traditionally sees him flip, hop, and slide about the stage, allowing him to mix fast combos with unpredictable movement. Christie shares a very similar set of moves, but she's yet to be confirmed for Tekken 7.
We reckon that it's only a matter of time until Eddy's officially revealed, but until then, let us know if you're an especially happy Eddy player in the comments section below.

Yay! Eddy is great! I hope Christie is announced too.
Ah, Eddy Gordo, the character that looks like a ragdoll from the Saints Row insurance fraud minigame when someone masses the buttons.
This just in. Ryu in Street Fighter, Mario in Smash Bros. and Scorpion in Mortal Kombat.
A Trkken game without Eddy would be a bit dull honestly. Theres something oddly fun about his style
Ordinarily I'd say I'll believe it when I see it, but Aris is a... kinda reputable guy in the Tekken community, so I'm willing to believe it.
Not an Eddy fan to be honest. Super mash friendly and annoying to fight.
I hate Eddy, if someone really did flip around like that, you would wait until their third handstand kick flip when they are knackered and smack them in the chops. But Eddys super Duracell battery powered and prances around like strictly come dancing which I also dislike.
Haha I use destroy Eddie players who thought they were the bees knees in Tekken with King in Tekken 3.
@BLP_Software Honestly, A Mishima in a Tekken game would be more like Ryu in SF, or Mario in SMB. There has been a Mishima in every Tekken game to date so far, Eddy has only been in a few.
@Tasuki True true. I know there was one SF without Ryu (Or Ken, cant recall which).
I'm just happy Hwoarang is in it. That's my jam right there. That and King.
Cool, still Ned Julia Chang though.
@BLP_Software As far to my knowledge Ken and Ryu were in every SF game. They were the only 2 you can play as in Street Fighter and they were the only ones to originally return in SF III.
Delighted. I prefer Christie, but Eddie is great too
Love Eddy and everything about him and his whole Fan-Base xD I hate that character SO MUCH, he's so frustrating to play, if you main Eddy or Christie or Tiger you needs to delete Tekken and give up on the game game completely
Language -Tasuki-
@Tasuki Birdie and Sagat are in SF 1 as well. But your right Ryu and Ken are the only characters in every game including Alpha.
@themcnoisy True, how could I forget them two?
