Profile

General:
Son of a wealthy industrialist in Brazil, Eddy seeks revenge against the "Organization" that took over his father's life and unjustly put him in prison.. Eddy joined the tournament with the intention of taking over the Mishima Financial Empire so that he can use its resources against the Organization. Capoeira is his fighting style.

After the King of Iron Fist 5 had concluded, Eddy Gordo managed to secure an audience with the newly established head of the Mishima Financial Group, Jin Kazama. “I’d like to request your assistance in saving the life of my martial arts master,” Eddy solicited. Jin agrees to his petition under the condition Eddy become a member of his Tekken Force, and as a member, he took part in destructive activity in every one of earth’s corners. And the start of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 grows nearer.

Comment:
Eddy is a naturally cool dude and has some of the best looking and most authentic Capoeira moves around... So much infact, that pretty much every gamer remembers Eddy at his debut in Tekken 3. Namco also did a great job on his animation, which is one of the strongest points of his design. Eddy does share a likeness to Bob Wilson, who still came before Eddy in the fighting game world, but Eddy is quite a much cooler character in my opinion.
