It’s another fine Thursday and we’re about to do our homework with one of the newest characters in Tekken 8, Eddy Gordo! The first DLC character in the game, Eddy Gordo is infamous for his tricky Capoeira and multitude of stylish offensive and defensive maneuvers. We’re taking him to the lab this week to see how his abilities translate in his Tekken 8 debut!

Tekken it to the Lab Episode 7: Eddy Gordo

Eddy Gordo is a Brazilian representative in Tekken, utilizing the dance-fighting style of Capoeira that was originally developed there. As such, he features a lot of flowing movement, swift mobility, and a widely varied arsenal of kicks and strikes mixed into his dancing.
