Summary
Tekken 8players are repeatingTekkenhistory by struggling to fight against Eddy Gordo, a character notorious for his fast-paced movement.
Although Tekken 8’s launch was incredibly strong and seemed to set up a bright future for the game, things have turned around a bit since then. Fans have made it clear that theyaren’t happy with the post-launch addition of microtransactions, a battle pass, and more, which has been viewed as “scummy”. You’d think the arrival of fan-favourite fighter Eddy Gordo would help that, but that’s not quite the case.
Anyone who has played Tekken before can tell you that Eddy Gordo is one of the most difficult fighters to get the hang of and fight against,mostly because of his unique fast-paced moves and stances.Unsurprisingly, this is also the case in Tekken 8, which is causing a lot of players to struggle to fight against him.
Eddy Gordo Is Giving Tekken 8 Players A Tough Time
He goes on to say that what he thinks are openings actually aren’t and that he gets the “s**t beaten out of him for trying”. The comments are full of replies from long-term Tekken fans pointing out that he’s always been like this and that it’s nothing new for the series, but that he is admittedly a pain in the latest game.
Another clip from Redditor MonsetOnALeash shows one of the difficulties fighting him, as Jack-8 is shown completely missing a move against a completely motionless Eddy due to how his idle animations work. That’s got to sting even more than losing to a moving opponent…
“I swear every single person is using him and I can’t f***ing read him at all.”
Although these challenges are nothing new to Eddy Gordo and a standard part of the Tekken experience, Tekken 8 has introduced a new problem,as several players have complained that they can’t practise against him as he’s locked for training useunless you purchase him. It’s not clear why this is the case, but it is a bit more of a fair complaint than Eddy just being Eddy.
