History Characters / Tekken3

* BlowYouAway: In keeping with the more overtly supernatural bent of ''8'', Eddy gains a new mechanic in which spirals of green wind-like ki surrounds his feet after landing certain moves that unlock new attacks from his handstand stance for the rest of the round. These new attacks are accompanied by similar bursts of wind.

* UnwittingPawn: Eddy ends up in the service of the Mishima Zaibatsu as hired muscle after Jin promises that they will work together to find a cure for Eddy's dying master. Of course, Jin had no intention of holding up his end of the deal and was using Eddy as part of his mission to spread hatred and misery throughout the world.

Failing to win the 5th tournament, and left with no other options, Eddy approaches Jin, begging him to save his master's life. Jin agrees to find a cure, but only if Eddy works for him as a Tekken Force member. Forced into carrying out Jin's war against the world while knowing next to nothing of his true agenda, Eddy continued to blindly serve out of pure desperation until finally being defeated by Lars Alexandersson. Unfortunately for Eddy, he learns too late that Jin had failed to uphold his end of the bargain due to the true nature of his plans, which resulted in Jin himself seemingly vanishing from the face of the Earth. He returns home empty-handed and discovers his master had died while he was away, making all his efforts to save him for naught and straining his relationshp with Christie. Unable to face her and left with only his desire for revenge against Kazuya left, he enters the 7th tournament purely for his own sake and to finally close the book on that chapter of his life once and for all.

* CoDragons: With Nina to Jin in ''Tekken 6''. If his arcade ending is an indication though, this is not the case anymore. Confirmed in ''8'' in a special pre-match intro where Nina shoots Eddy while his back was turned.

--> ''Like some weird sci-fi story, Dr. Boskonovitch claims he needs [[MagicBlood blood from Ogre to live]].''

* BadassBiker: His bike features in some of his ''Fated Retribution'' introS and win poses, as well as in most of his endings throughout the series. In ''8'', he's seen doing the [[Manga/{{Akira}} Akira Slide]] in one of his intros.

* SkillGateCharacter: Newer players can produce good results by button-mashing with Eddy when pitted against each other. Not so much against seasoned players who know the character inside and out, including his weaknesses, chief among them being his poor movement options. This means that to get far with Eddy, one has to be very creative with their game plan. This is made a lot more prevalent for his return in ''8'', where the developers have specifically revamped his moveset to make him easier to understand as a character.

* SkillGateCharacter: On the surface, Bryan has a lot going for him that will appeal to beginners such as a simplistic moveset and relatively easy yet damaging combos, most of which start with his Snake Edge sweep (d/f+3, or Left Kick). Effective in casual play or an online environment, yes, but ''very'' easily dealt with on levels beyond that for several reasons. The first is that many of Bryan's moves have very slow start-up and/or recovery; in the case of his Snake Edge, it is highly telegraphed (moreso from the sixth game onwards, where he will do a [[VoiceGrunting voice grunt]] each time he uses it), and incredibly unsafe when blocked. Players will have to break out of these bad habits with Bryan if they wish to excel with him.

** While some of his attacks are generic gymnastics, his ''Negativa'' stance used to be very inaccurate, more closely resembling a ''Queda de quatro'', a reverse crab-walk stance. ''8'' reanimates it to be more accurate.

* HumansAreBastards: That's his view of the world, anyway. As far as Bryan is concerned, good is inherently hypocritical -- it can't exist in the first place. Only the naive, the deceptive, and the monstrous exist. And [[CardCarryingVillain he admits of being the third]].

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: King has displayed some frankly absurd feats of strength throughout the series, such as beating a Jack-bot into submission with his bare hands, overpowering and subsequently hospitalizing the much larger Craig Marduk and, non-canonically speaking, performing a Giant Swing on the 8-foot tall colossus Hugo Andore in their shared ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' trailer, much to Poison's disbelief.

* HonoraryUncle: She calls both Heihachi and Wang "grandpa", despite not being related to either. This is because it's quite common for unrelated people in Japan to call each other with familial terms.
* HoeplessSuitor: Poor Xiaoyu's love for Jin is doomed to be unrequited. Not enough that he has not one but two families worth of problems to deal with, Jin has resolved to ensure that his devil's blood will not continue to a new generation. [[spoiler:Subverted in ''8'', where Jin finally comes to terms with himself, his legacy and future and all but has a RelationshipUpgrade with her.]]

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Not quite to the extent of Julia, but two years have been able to bring her out of the GenericCuteness stage, even more so with her new costume in ''Fated Retribution'' - an update to her original Chinese dress that not only reaches out longer (with additional leggings) but also has her sport longer pigtails.

* AdaptationalBadass: A certified badass no doubt, King got a lot more play as a nigh unstoppable competitor during the events of ''Bloodline''. Attacks barely seem to faze him, and he's treated outright as TheDreaded by majority of the competitors for his silent attitude and intimidating look. He even manages to defeat Paul, who canonically went undefeated during the events of ''Tekken 3'' which ''Bloodline'' is an adaptation of. King ends up being the opponent Jin faces at the tournament final, and forces a very close fight which Jin wins by the skin of his teeth, just going to show further how undeniably tough King is.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Not the character himself, but some of this moves. Despite it following the plot of ''Tekken 3'', in ''Tekken: Bloodline'' he uses several signature attacks that wouldn't be added to his moveset until later titles.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: King has displayed some frankly absurd feats of strength throughout the series, such as beating a Jack-bot into submission with his bare hands, overpowering and subsequently hospitalising the much larger Craig Marduk and, non-canonically speaking, performing a Giant Swing on the 8-foot tall colossus Hugo Andore in their shared ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' trailer, much to Poison's disbelief.

* ShownTheirWork: In an aversion of LatinoIsBrown, Eddy is not only Brazilian, but also ''black'', something that's rarely shown in popular media due to the pervasiveness of this trope. Brazil actually hosts the largest African diaspora in the world; the reason why their numbers seem smaller is because miscegenation is widely practiced in Brazil centuries before it became socially acceptable in other nations of the Americas, so most descendants of Afro-Brazilians today identify as mixed-race.

* SkillGateCharacter: Newer players can produce good results by button-mashing with Eddy when pitted against each other. Not so much against seasoned players who know the character inside and out, including his weaknesses, chief among them being his poor movement options. This means that to get far with Eddy, one has to be very creative with their game plan.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Had a bit of a weird case with this. He's not part of the default roster in ''4'', instead being relegated to an alternate costume for Christie[[note]]Much in the same way Panda is one for Kuma, or how Miharu in the same game was one for Xiaoyu[[/note]], who took his spot as the primary Capoeira user in the roster. He's relegated again to being an alt for Christie in vanilla ''5'', but with some of changes now to differentiate him from her, like tweaks to his moveset and even having his own story mode. By the time the ''Dark Resurrection'' update came around, he not only got his own slot back, but now boasted even more gameplay refinements which saw Eddy lean towards power while Christie became faster. This continued for ''6'' and ''Tag 2'', until ''7'' not only brought Eddy back in, but kept Christie out of the roster ''entirely'' - marking the first time Eddy has run as the sole Capoeira practitioner in a ''Tekken'' roster since ''3'' - ''his debut game''.
