[Big Baller]

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

The return of the GOAT

 

[Fahdis]

Meh.

 

[MayauMiao]

Not digging the sountrack, and what language did he use?

 

[Eimran]

Is Christie there too?

 

[Fahdis]

Not digging the sountrack, and what language did he use?

Its from Tekken Tag 1
Portugese

 

[RagnarokIV]

The hair. Lmao

 

[abstract alien]

Wow. He called upon his ancestors with that super.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

The hair. Lmao

lol yup, its always the same hair ....

 

[gow3isben]

Where is the epic Edgar Davids hair and sunglasses

 

[Soodanim]

Call me old fashioned, but if he doesn't look like this annoying piece of shit then I don't recognise him as Eddy.

 

[tamago84]

Tren delts bro

 

[EruditeHobo]

I just don't care about Eddy... never have through the whole series.

Who's up next? When do I get my Marduk?

 

[Neofire]

Love Eddie but the audio isn't matching the video. The voice actor is terrible and for those that know Tekken know what I'm talking about.

 

[Fake]

Where is Lei?

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Ofc he has this stupid hairstyle xdd

 

[Saber]

Not digging the sountrack, and what language did he use?

Brazilian portuguese.
Music sounds fine by me. The guy dubbing him not so much.

 

[Fermbiz]

Can't unsee hair

 

[Wolfpact1983]

Eddy poo poo

 

[ReBurn]

One thing that really bothers me about this game is how all of the characters speak different languages and yet somehow all understand each other. But in a world where people become literal devils I guess it makes sense.

 

[Insane Metal]

The colors of the Brazilian flag when he hits, heh. Cool little effect.

 

[Valonquar]

 

[YCoCg]

I like how they're now also showing off the other costumes you get at the end of the trailer, his Tekken 7 look shines in this engine.

 

[Arachnid]

Hell yeah, Eddie is GOAT. He should have been in at launch.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Love Eddie but the audio isn't matching the video. The voice actor is terrible and for those that know Tekken know what I'm talking about.

Yeah the voice acting is terrible. It may as well be a new character when you add the stupid haircut and dumb effects for heat mode and super. I think I will wait for this character or a DLC bundle with this character to be discounted. Huge disappointment. I don't know who the hell that is but this is the Eddy I was expecting:

I like to think they all just talk at each other and no one understands a thing, but everyone is so self-righteous that they think they're saying something so profound with so much gusto that people do understand them.

 

[YCoCg]

I'd say knowing languages is the lower bar considering these people can also understand bears, kangaroos, growls and ancient Aztec roars from the gods.

 

[Crayon]

Bracing for an overpowered clown show. Surprise me, namco.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Call me old fashioned, but if he doesn't look like this annoying piece of shit then I don't recognise him as Eddy.

Haha! He looked permanently cracked out. I love/loved it.

 

[drotahorror]

Gordo the GOAT!

Can't believe they went with nu-Prince of Persia hair. Wtf

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The saga before was more mature and with realistic touches like in Tekken 4, but now it is a clownish saga.

A vampire who falls asleep or a bear who is in love with a panda.

Or the worst, a beautiful woman who likes to suffer or have family violence because of a jerk. That's tekken now.

Where is Lei?

In my mind and my canon... he is the best match for Jun.

 

[March Climber]

I like how they're now also showing off the other costumes you get at the end of the trailer, his Tekken 7 look shines in this engine.

It feels like you're the only one who actually looked. Everyone else here chose to complain about his default look instead.

 

[CGNoire]

Of course he had to have that haircut.

 

[SaintALia]

Ah yes, the button mashing master is back.

That voice doesn't seem to match the character though, but at least it's Br. Port., so that's something I guess.

 

[NeverYouMind]

It feels like you're the only one who actually looked. Everyone else here chose to complain about his default look instead.

Oh I looked, but the leopard coat and chain are tacky as hell. Even if the hair can be used in customization, there are no Eddy themed costumes. Worst of all they are going to make that assinine default part of the background for the main menu of the game.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Would rather Christie to be honest.

 

[splattered]

I loved eddie in older titles, cool to see him added

 

[Celcius]

I was going to complain about the eyebrow piercing but looking at the pictures and videos in this thread he's always had it. Weird how I never noticed before. Anyway, good to see him back in the game and I want Christie added too!
