@user-bn1nh8bv5f I bet I'll find out myself as well rn I've been breezing through purple ranks but Eddie is alota fun for an easy character tbh he's the easiest character I've played so far
@@thatpersoneveryoneknowsbut7533 I agree he’s very easy, him and victor are battling for easiest to spam with.

Definitely not saying he’s bad though, actually just pretty fair.
@@ColonCommander crazy I just said this exact same thing to someone who was crying about Eddie lol yeah that 50/50 honestly isn't worth the risk it's bad but fair he is very linear as well but yeah he's very fair
bro wtf. I swear Tekken 3 on Playstation 1, the only way to play Eddy was to literally smash all the buttons and hope he does some handstand move so it felt like you were doing something crazy to your friends
You’re literally wrong 😂 he’s always been a technical character. Every playable character can do something cool with spam. Since the beginning in every fighting game.
I started out with azu, niggas sent messages mad at me, so i switch to steve. Now whenever i run into azu or hwo or eddy, i be like "look at this mf having fun". They probably getting messages too, but it really doesnt matter
See, that's the thing about that haircut, if it hasn't been used so damn much, i honestly wouldn't mind Eddy having this haircut. If it was just killmonger, then the only other character in gaming to have the same hair style is Eddy, I would be cool with it. I think its more that the hairstyle has overused more then just the hairstyle itself, if that makes sense
@jwoodsjr123sgameroom5 Imo the hairstyle itself isn't bad but it doesn't fit Eddy. I do agree that it being overused is a big reason why I hate the style more.
I bought Eddy because i wanted to see exactly what these people online were doing with all these flips and dips. Fellas when I told you I was BAFFLED, ITS LITERALLY ALL 3. Freeest purple I've ever gotten
I think it's funny how Leroy and Eddie switch positions just from one Tekken game Leroy was the bonus character and Eddie was a character that was already in the starting characters and now Eddie's the bonus character and Leroy in the starting characters💯😅😅😅😅😅
Eddy is actually super easy to counter and it’s the funniest thing once you realize it. His hitbox extends to his legs, as it does with other characters; but his is way more prevalent. Any time he starts a rotation/sequence, all you have to do is sweep the leg or aerial kick. The sweep and/or kick registers first due to it striking eddy’s legs mostly. Regardless if he’s currently in offensive action or not. So yeah, any time an eddy main is doing a rushdown… literally just continuously sweep or jump kick and you’re gonna piss them off to where the momentum is instantly deleted lol. Edit: This strat also works for yoshi’s who spam flea, yoshi’s hitbox changes to mid/high so all you have to do is jump kick him directly out of flea.
@@ruinerofgames6333 yea he's just another example of a knowledge check character that is good and overhyped early because the casual audience doesnt know what he does
I got to Garyu day one with Eddy by mainly mashing 3. Once I got to Garyu, mashing 3 wasn't really cutting it anymore and I had to play Tekken lmao. Currently Tenryu looking to get to Ruler soon.
If there's anything that I'm glad Afro might've taken away from his experience playing this game, it's the fact that he'll probably be using Tekken music way more. Which is a good thing because the music are bangers.

Hold back until you see him go into negativa, or you can easily interrupt him with a jab in the middle of him spamming 33333 when you see him hand standing.
@@ColonCommanderFunny enough a smart Eddy will spam 3 to bait them into doing that. 1+2 gets his armor move to absorb the jab and put you right back in the blender. Or if ya duck he can stop to do a mid grab.
“Nerf Eddy” is funny😂 Eddy has ALWAYS been good. You don’t need a trainer, anyone can use Eddy and look like a God. Eddy is a smash demon & I love it ngl🤣 He’s so hard to predict to block so you need King or someone to get a string of combos and not let him breathe or it’s up🤷🏽♂️
@camodeano3003 again spamming 3 to red rank enters the chat. Victor doesn't need much skill but more skill than eddy. You basically have special style 24/7
as a jin main i've been tormented relentlessly i never ceased to be amazed by the eddy combos nor the promotion denies. THEYVE JUST BEEN MASHING THIS WHOLE TIME I HAYE IT HERE
I ain’t gone lie as bro kept teaching him the next parts of the combo I just realized how exhausting this game can be id rather watch than play honestly 😂
I saw the notification, swiped it away, and typed the title I saw into Search~ Had to see what Afro got 💯 Edit: After seeing the X spam insanity that Eddy has, I'm gonna learn that, learn to counter it, and eat Eddys ALIVE with Lili 🤪
3333 is easy bro. Go into lab make opponent Eddy. Have him 3333. Defend it. All you do is stand there and don't press anything every hit is a mid/high for the majority of the combo then he drops into negativa low relax stance and goes es for a leg sweep; that is when you crouch block or low parry; crouch block is actually better though because you can hit him with a rising 2/y which stuns and is a free launcher or you can just launch them because the low sweep is supeeerrr punishable in the 3333 combo. Hope this helps. Helped me a bit. Edit; rising Y stuns and gives free combo with my character; also I said low block is better because you get a full combo with how punishable his low is in the 3333 combo; but with a low parry you do not get a full juggle or full combo. Hope this helps
He’s just easy to use and new, so not only do people not know the matchup but he’s mash friendly, there were plenty of times you should have been punished in all your fights but they didn’t know what or how to do so
20:45 i'll tell you what, it's a good thing he did stick with Drag and learnt how to play Tekken. imagine if Eddy came out at release of the game...ohhh boy
Went to my friends house we played tekken 8….. we used to play tekken 7 and he used Eddie, i main with asuka I always beat him with asuka in tekken 7 but tekken 8 I couldn’t even do shvt against bro😂……. When I learn how to counter eddie isss on site I swear
I was born of Eddy, molded by Eddy. I did not stop slapping buttons until I played someone who could reverse attacks, then I had to put down my childish things :( I still miss Eddy though.
Eddy is the Maxi of Tekken 8. I find the best way to play this kind of character is to not think but just press general buttons that do generally what you're thinking about doing 😂
Bruh I was fighting against my friend who was playing Eddy. He was just fighting and dancing to the music, and he got the circles around him, and I was like, wtf are you just beating me with hot beats right now
he is easily laws replacement for "Carry you through rank with no skill" if you dont want to bother learning. that is not a knock at the crazy eddy's i encountered that combo the hell out of me
"Why they do that?" That's been Eddy since '97 bruh. One button dream baybeeee. (untill you fight someone good)
