This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Eddy (Tekken 7).

Eddy is a mid-ranged stance-based mixup character. His long legs come with good pokes, lows and plus frames to control the mid range. His strings allow him to play mindgames with his opponent by threatening extensions while transitioning into stance. He can flow into and out of his two stances, Negativa (RLX) and Bananeira (HSP), quite freely, while enforcing powerful mixups from each, allowing players to layer their mixups and keep their opponents guessing constantly.

Being centered around mixups can backfire on Eddy, since it can be difficult to get consistent results with him. Against prepared opponents, it is a lot harder to utilize his strings and stances, since they require juggling a lot of options to get any reward from.

-* '''Mixups''': Immediately threatening with just basic knowledge of stances, with pressure and 50/50's built in, and a variety of options to navigate between them as you improve.
+* Can easily setup mixups to force the opponent to guess
-* '''Evasiveness''': Eddy is constantly moving, always shifting his hitboxes, and finding oppressive timings and angles to approach. RLX and sidestep HSP entry can handle with ease many situations that might blow up other characters.
+* RLX and sidestep HSP stances make Eddy very evasive and tricky to pin down
-* '''As Complicated as You Want''': With deadly mixups, easy transitions, and long-range punishes, Eddy has a lot to offer, but the learning curve starts firmly at zero.
+* Eddy requires a lot of lab work to defend against

-* '''Confusing''': Not just to your opponent, but to you. Though it seems easy to mash buttons on him at first, a lot of awareness is required to get the most out of Eddy. You may find situations that other characters with simpler pickups chew through, and you'll struggle due to some of Eddy's combos being highly specific. Being comfortable navigating stances and situations quickly and knowing the best options as part of the flow of your offense can also be a challenge.
+* Requires some very specific combos
-* '''Knowledge is Power''': Many of Eddy's strengths lie in the opponent not knowing how to deal with his many sequences. Against an opponent who knows the matchup, the character is notably weaker and can only rely on what few opportunities he may get for guaranteed mix.
+* Struggles against opponents who know the matchup
