PROLOGUE
========
The Gordo Family is one of the richest families in Brazil. Since
childhood, Eddy was aware that he would take over his father's business
one day. In his hometown, he was likely well accepted from his hard
working attitude and his equal treatment for others.
His father's business is to destroy the drug syndicate in Brazil.
However, at the age of 19, Eddy noticed his father being unusually nervous
and fearful in the past few weeks. One day, Eddy came home from school and
found his father dying from a gunshot. Just when he obtained enough
evidence against the syndicate, his untimely death occurred. Yet, in his
last breaths he said to Eddy: "Now is not the time to fight. Falsely admit
this crime and hide yourself in prison where you will be safe." Eddy heeded
his fathers wish and was jailed in prison in the case of Homicide. The
model student everyone knows ended as a pseudo murderer.
The life in prison was a matter of survival for Eddy. For him, he
always vowed to get even against the syndicate. One day, a jailbreak
tookplace, Eddy was out of the penitentiary gate, but cornered by jail
guards. As the jail-guards inched closer to Eddy, another prisoner aids to
his rescue. I was an old man that possesses great power fighting ability
that he called Capoeira. Astonished by the old man's ability, Eddy had
undergone training from the old man until 8 years have passed, he became
the master of the discipline that will serve as a lethal weapon against
the syndicate. As a token of his gratitude, Eddy promised to the old man's
wish that he would pass his discipline to his granddaughter named Christie
once he is released from prison.
Eddy was released in prison at the age of 27. At that time, he heard
rumors about the upcoming "King of Iron Fist Tournament 3", sponsored by
the Mishima Conglomerate. His mission is to control the conglomerate in
his seek of long-awaited revenge against the syndicate, by joining as a
participant in the upcoming Tekken Tournament.

====================
INTRODUCTION TO EDDY
====================
Eddy Gordo carries the discipline of capoeira & the new meaning of
fighting in Tekken 3. His deadly arsenal of moves is composed of rhythmical
combinations, & breathtaking stunts, makes him unique from any other Tekken
Characters.
Eddy is known by some players to be called as "cheap" because he has
always different measures to win a match. On the other hand, most of his
recovery moves are slow which makes him vulnerable for a counter-attack.
Eddy has many hard to predict button executions for some of his moves,
that's why players intended to mash buttons instead.
For an Eddy player, he or she must be consistent at his moves, able
to predict any attacks of the opponent. He or she when in times of worse
situations, can be daring or defending. Playing Eddy Gordo will require
toughness and awareness from his enemy and sees to it that Eddy always has
a chance to escape from danger. The mastery rate for Eddy is for novice to
intermediate players.
==================
PLAYING CONDITIONS

After wining a round, hold a punch or kick button, and wait till
the Replay ends. Eddy will show his winning pose:
Left Punch: Eddy claps, Spin Slaps, Gingas and laughs.
Right Punch: Eddy Freak Shows followed by a Shin Cutter Gingas and shouts.
Left Kick: Eddy does a Boomerang, shouts "Come on!" and Gingas.
Right Kick: Eddy backhands, does a Full Mars Attack, Gingas and shouts.

================
CHARACTER CHEATS
================
Win the ARCADE MODE with sixteen different characters or accumulate 600
Battles in VERSUS MODE, or TEAM BATTLE MODE.
At the character selection screen select Eddy with the start or the
Triangle button.
Instead of playing Eddy, you will control Tiger Jackson. He's a guy
in a 70's outfit with an afro hair. He is suppose to be Eddy's third
costume, but nonetheless.
========
EPILOGUE
========
EDDY'S ENDING:
...It was midnight; Eddy marched right inside the cartel's mansion.
Approached by thugs, Eddy surpassed them easily. He interrogated one of
them to find out the mastermind who killed of his father; the goon pointed
his finger at a table filled with pictures. He sits down while staring at
the pictures of Kazuya Mishima.
TIGER'S ENDING:
...It's a pure victory for Tiger Jackson and he danced and grooved all
night with the 70's disco.

CAPOEIRA ADVANCED BATTLE TACTICS
================================
"CABT is made for future tactics that can be used by Eddy Gordo and
Tiger Jackson lovers to win against CPU and Human opponents. Remember to
use these tips wisely and not to abuse them against your opponent."
"CABT recommends that you know all the moves of EDDY GORDO to ensure
that you can properly execute the specified moves listed here. It doesn't
hurt to know more of what EDDY can do for you."
"CABT can be used against CPU and Human opponents most likely the
seasoned players out there. Let's show them what EDDY can really do. Shall
we begin?"
=============
CABT SETTINGS
=============
Game Configuration:
Time: 40 Secs.
Rounds: Any
Difficulty: Hard
BGM: Silent
Guard Damage: On
Controller Configuration for PSX:
Square: LP L1: LP+LK
Triangle: RP L2: RP+RK
Cross: LK R1: LP+RP
Circle: RK R2: LK+RK
=====================
CABT SPARRING GROUNDS
=====================
= Free Mode Configuration =
Key Displays: Off
Attack Data: On
Counter Attacks: On
Training Dummy: Stand and/or Technical Roll
Not all of CABT can be executed on Practice mode. Therefore, you
should try the rest of CABT on the Team Battle Mode, whenever you have the
chance.
===================
CABT BATTLE GROUNDS
===================
If you feel ready to test your moves try them in the Team Battle
Mode. Select a Team Battle of 8, select EDDY, then start. Your battle
begins. If you got all the characters complete, select EDDY, DOCTOR B, and
GON, then start. This prevents from encountering DOCTOR B and GON as
opponents in the Team Battle. This scheme only works on the 1 PLAYER side.
The reason why the Team Battle Mode is better than any other mode is
that you'll be able to fight characters at the hardest effort they will
give you. They may be just 8, but it won't easy to get a straight win from
all of them at your first try. You might even try, try, & try again from
repetitive losses. Besides, if you get the hang of getting a straight win
every time, the more you'll be able to win from any type of modes from the
game.
Should you lose from a Team Battle, press START~SELECT to return to
the Menu Screen and start all over again.

==============
RECOVERY MOVES
==============
When knocked down after a hit, try pressing one of these buttons at the
same time you hit the ground:
-(1_2) to technical roll far from the screen
-or (3_4) to technical roll near the screen
=========
REVERSALS
=========
A reversal occurs when a character grabs the attacking opponent's arm or
leg and executes a grapple so that the damage returns to the opponent
instead. Only a few characters can do the reversal. Press b+(1+3_2_4) at
the same time the opponent attack you to execute a reversal. Unfortunately,
Eddy has no reversal art.
The following moves are irreversible so use them to your advantage:
Normal Stance: Handstand Position:
FC+1+2 [~1<2] 4
b+3 3+4
d/b+3
= ~4,1+2 [~1<2] Relaxed Position:
= 4,3+4 1+2 [~1<2]
3~4,4,1+2 [~1<2] 3+4
b+4
= 3~4,1+2 [~1<2]
= 4
= 3+4
3+4
f+4
(FC_WS)+3+4
The (FC_WS)+3+4 is an irreversible move except to Anna and Paul. It
cannot be chickened.
Other irreversible moves are moves that have low range hit properties.
The rest of the moves that aren't mentioned are reversible moves.
========
PARRYING
========
Parrying occurs when the character grabs the attacking opponent's arm or
leg and moves it aside, so that the character has a chance to counter
attack. Parrying can interrupt high, middle and low range attacks.
Like the reversal, Eddy has no parrying art. Refer to the reversal
section for moves that cannot be parried.
==========
CHICKENING
==========
Chickening has got nothing do with chickens. A Chickening occurs when
the opponent escapes the character's reversal, and damages the character
while escaping. All characters can perform the Chickening art.
To execute a chickening art, depends on the leg or the arm that is
reversed. Also the move needs to be done immediately after the reversal:
To chicken a reversed left arm or leg: f+1+3
To chicken a reversed right arm or leg: f+2+4
Here are some moves that can be chickened regardless of side:
For f+1+3 chickening: For f+2+4 chickening:
b+1+2 SS+3+4 (Right)
u/f+3+4 RLX+3~4
f,f+3+4 4~3
d/f+3+4
SS+3+4 (Left) For f+2+4 chickening against Anna:
SS+3+4 [3+4,3+4,u/f+3+4] u/f+3+4
SS+4~3 f,f+3+4
d/b+3+4 (1st or 2nd Hit) SS+3+4 [3+4,3+4,u/f+3+4]
RLX+4,3+4 SS+4~3
===========
KI POWER UP
===========
By pressing 1+2+3+4, Eddy hands and feet will charge a powerful aura.
Ki Power Ups enables you to increases the damages of your normal attacks
and grapples. It also turns a normal hit into a counter-hit damage. All
the characters can Power Up their Ki.
However, Ki Power Ups disables you to block any attacks from your
opponent. Yet, should your opponent blocks your charged attack, it won't
disappear. The Ki Power Up lasts about 2 seconds, so make those seconds
count and, remember to keep attacking on a charged Ki.

SPECIAL STRINGS*
================
These are special chains of attacks I made and compiled for Eddy's
Juggles, Counter-hits and Combos. You can refer to this section if you
encounter special strings that ends in *.
An ! indicates the part of the string where your opponent can possibly
escape before the next move.
An ^ means that your opponent should STAND UP in that section of the
string for the combo to work.

EDDY'S JUGGLES, COUNTER HITS & COMBOS
=====================================
The reason I made this FAQ so that I can provide the reader with the
necessary combos that they can use when playing Eddy. This is it! Now you
can show how lethal Capoeira can be. EJCC works both for recommended
CPU and Human opponents & especially useful to Okizeme tactics.
Some EJCCs have specific properties. See their corresponding footnote (#)
in the Property Column (PRC).
The Attack Percentage (ATK%) indicates how successful the EJCC against the
opponent based upon my research. The higher the ATK% the less chance to
escape the EJCC.
Keep in mind though that in order for the EJCC to work, you need to get
close to the opponent by dashing forward; remember to time your juggles,
and just pure luck.

EASTERNBORDER'S KNOCKOUT COMBOS
===============================
Combos that I made some for myself against CPUs. Can be used for Time
Attack Mode or Survival Mode.
Note that the EBCOMBOS requires some part of the strings for the CPU to
Stand up and/or technical roll.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBCOMBO#1:
u_u/f+4
= !^f,f+4,4
= !^RLX+f,f+1+2
= !^hcf+1+2~D
= b,b,
= 1+2+3+4,b,b
= (f,F_f,f,f)
= !^Shoulder Block
= (3_4_1+2)
Start with u/f+4 or any other knockdown art. As the CPU technical rolls,
approach with RLX+f,f+4,4. After the CPU's violent knockdown, follow with
f,f+1+2. If you get a hit, immediately execute hcf+1+2 as the CPU
technical rolls. Remember to hold down if you miss the grapple or the
CPU will. After the throw, b,b then f,f,f, towards the enemy to give
the CPU a Shoulder Block as he/she stands up.(the CPU doesn't do anything)
if the CPU makes a knockdown roll, catch up with a f,f+3+4. Otherwise,
if the enemy rolls forward as you run, use the (3_4_1+2) while running.
You can start with any part of the combo. You can also Ki Power Up
(1+2+3+4) after the throw.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBCOMBO#2
f+4~B,HSP+1,3,4,1+2~FC
= WS+4
= FC+3+4~B,HSP+4
Execute a Samba. Follow the Flop Punch Strings after doing a HSP.
You can hold D while doing 1+2 for a quick frame recovery. After doing
1+2 there can be 2 results: If your opponent blocks 1+2, use 4 while
standing as a follow up attack. If your 1+2 hits follow the 3+4 while
standing then HSP back. Now observe the enemy. If the CPU makes a first
high or middle attack or string but it didn't reach you, immediately
press 4 in HSP. You can repeat the combo starting with the Flop Punch
Strings if you follow the knocked CPU by walking in HSP.

==================
CUSTOMIZED STRINGS
==================
These are strings that are compiled by adding two or more standard strings.
As an Eddy player, your fighting style will rely on confusion and
continuous attack to your opponent. Using these strings tactically will
benefit your advantage in battle. By using some basic attacks, you can
create infinite strings and keep your enemies on the defensive.
Here are some strings that you can connect from one string to another.
You need to delay the command on some moves for you to execute them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b+4,3~4] [d/b+3~4] [3~4,4] [f+4,3+4,4]
[b+4,3,4,3~4] [d/b+3,4,3~4] [HSP+1,3~4] [4~3,4,2,4,3~4]
[HSP+4,3+4]
After executing one of the strings add one of the following:
WS+1 -Connect with b+4 and continue with the Leg Whip Strings
WS+2 -Continue with the UP Juggles
WS+3 -Knocks down the opponent
WS+4 -Backs off your opponent
b+4 -Continue with the Leg Whip Strings
(FC_WS)+3+4 -Middle Ground Attack, ~B to HSP or ~D to RLX
u/f+3+4 -Knocks down the opponent, (~D_~B) to RLX
~B -End in HSP and continue with FP or SK Strings
1+2,~D -Connect with any WS moves
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting from CS strings:
[RWD+4] [HSP+2,4]
After executing one of the strings add one of the following:
3 -Backs off your opponent
b+4 -Continue with the Leg Whip Strings
u/f+3+4 -Knocks down the opponent, (~D_~B) to RLX
1,2 -Double Punch attack
~B -End in HSP and continue with FP or SK Strings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting from FP strings:
[HSP+1] [HSP+2]
After executing one of the strings add one of the following:
WS+1 -Connect with b+4 and continue with the Leg Whip Strings
WS+2 -Continue with the UP Juggles
WS+3 -Knocks down the opponent
WS+4 -Backs off your opponent
(FC_WS)+3+4 -Middle Ground Attack, ~B to HSP or ~D to RLX

===========================
APPENDIX A: MOVE PROPERTIES
===========================
This explains the proper use of some specific special arts.
-------------
GINGA STANCE:
-------------
Elbow Upper (d/f+2): This is perhaps the most useful move against all the
characters in Tekken due to its quick counter-attack.
Executions errors: [2][d+2][f+2]
Useful when: Blocking slow in recovery high and middle close attacks.
Useful against: All but least to Xiaoyu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brush Fire (f+3): This is a useful long-range attack.
Useful when: reaching hard to get opponents & HSP while avoiding high
attacks.
Useful against: Paul, Hwoarang, Heihachi, Nina, Lei, Bryan, Ogre,
True Ogre, Kuma & Panda, & Anna
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Face Jammer (WS+3): This move is quite useful when you least needed it.
Execution errors: [D+3][3]
Useful when: Ducking slow in recovery high attacks.
Useful against:
-Paul (f,f+3,4,3)
-Nina (u/f+4,3,4)
-Yoshimitsu (4,4,4)
-Law (2,2,2)
-Lei (f+N+3,d+4)_(f+N+4,1,2,3,d+4)
-Anna (d/f+3,1,4,2,4)
-Kuma & Panda (D+3+4,1,2,1,2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunging Brush Fire (f,f+3): This move will push your enemy when blocked.
My suggestion is follow the move with a HSP or a RLX.
Execution errors: [f+3][u/f+3][f,f+N+3]
Useful when: Knocking back hard to get enemies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Front Stinger (WC_WS)+3+4: This move is your ever-reliable attack and
escape technique. My suggestion is that you follow the move with holding
B until you stand up.
Execution errors: [d/f+3+4][f+3+4]
Useful when: Attacking and Keeping Distance at the same time
Useful against: Xiaoyu, Hwoarang, Lei, & Bryan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freak Show (d/f+3+4): This is the common Juggle of Eddy Players.
Execution errors: [WC+3+4][d/f+3][d/f+4]
Useful when: Blocking slow in recovery middle attacks.
Useful against: All except Xiaoyu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roundhouse (u/f+4): This is the most common counter-attack move. While
Attacking, any low attacks won't reach you.
Execution errors: U/F~N+4
Useful when: Almost all counter attacks or keep distance clearance.
Useful against: All except Xiaoyu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Satellite Moon (4~3): This move is a good idea to hit an enemy as you
escape. My suggestion is ALWAYS follow up the move with 3 or 4.
Execution errors: [3][4]
Useful when: Escaping hard to get enemies.
Useful against: Bryan, Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, Nina, Paul, Lei, Anna, Ogre
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hammer Head (WC+1+2~1<2): This move is a great high evasive attack if
You want to nail hard to get enemies. The most better way to execute the
move is WC+1+2~1+2<1+2. The result is the same.
Useful when: Barging through hard to get enemies.
Useful against: Bryan, Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, Nina, Anna, Paul, Lei, King, Ogre
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slippery Kick (3~4): These are the most common deceptive kicks, but rarely
useful these days. This is what beginners is button mashing about.
Execution errors: 3
Useful when: Blocking slow in recovery middle attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evasive Back Flip (u/b_B,u/b_u,u/b): This is your ever-reliable escape
move. Don't hesitate to use it often when in trouble. The better way to
execute to move is tapping u/b. Connectix Virtual Game Station users can
just tap u while holding B. Another way to execute is u,u/b,b. This move
will save your butt a lot when you fight with Xiaoyu. My suggestion is
that you can follow up the move with the Front Stinger.
Execution errors: [B,SS][U/B]
Useful when: Escaping hard to get enemies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing Left Kick (3): This is a VERY useful back off attack.
Useful when: start-up fights and distance clearance.
Useful against: All except Xiaoyu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Thrust (f,f+4,4): A good technique to use when opponent does a
technical roll, or slow and delayed characters.
Useful when: (See Leaping Face Kick.)
Useful against: All except Xiaoyu (See also Leaping Face Kick)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rodeo Spin (hcf+1+2): It's an ultimate grappling weapon against some slow
recovery attacks. The better way to execute the move is to charge both b
and f from the hcf.
Execution errors: [f+1+2][D+1+2][d/f+1+2][1+2]
Useful when: Blocking slow in recovery high and middle attacks.
Useful against:
-Yoshimitsu: (f,f+3+4,1+2,3+4)_(d/f+1,1,1,1)
-Nina & Anna: (d+3,2)
-Law: (1,1,1,1,2,2,2)
-Eddy: (d/b+3~3)
-Paul: (WC+4~2)
-King: (d+3+4,2)
-Ogre & True Ogre: (u/b+3,2)
-Julia: (1+4,3,U/F+3+4,1,~1,~1)
-GunJack: (3+4,3+4,3+4)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boomerang (f,f+3+4): The better way to execute this move rather than
direct, is after the Elbow Upper. If you miss hitting the enemy ending up
behind him/her, duck, wait for the opponent to kick or grab you back,
when you're not hit, answer back with a 3 or 4. You won't have problems
like this against big characters.
Execution errors: f+3+4
-----------------
HANDSTAND POSTION
-----------------
Slice Kick HSP+(u_d)+(3_4): This is a useful back off attack in a HSP.
The better way to execute this move is u/f+(3_4). It's better to ~B to
stand up than ~D to RLX after the move.
Execution errors: [HSP+d+3+4][HSP+(u_d)~(3_4)][(3_4)]
Useful when: Backing off enemies in a HSP or to hit grounded opponents.
Useful Against: Lei, Julia, Xiaoyu, Eddy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perch Flop Kick (d+3+4): This is a good move to use against rough enemies.
Generally, you can perch yourself deeply in the ground and execute the
same move while in handstand, which in case you'll avoid low punches
instantly.
Execution errors: [d+(3_4)][~D][d~3+4]
Useful when: Avoiding low punches, high and middle punches & kicks.
Useful Against: Hwoarang, Paul, Lei
--------
REWINDER
--------
Leaping Face Kick (SS+4~3): This is a good move exclusively to some
delayed characters, which gives you a good advantage.
Execution errors: [SS+(3_4)][SS+3+4]
Useful when: Blocking slow in recovery low attacks or delayed attacks
Useful Against:
-Yoshimitsu: (u/f+3+4,b+1,4,d/b+1~D/B,N)
-Kuma, Panda & GunJack: (d+3+4,1,2,1,2)_(u/f+3+4,1,2,1,2)
-Ogre & True Ogre: (u/b+3,2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wheel Kick (SS+3+4): This move is powerful but a very short ranged move.
Execution errors: [U+3+4][FC+3+4]
Useful when: approaching enemies doing technical roll.
----------------
RELAXED POSITION
----------------
Flare (RLX+4~3): A very low offensive back off attack.
Execution errors: RLX+4
Useful when: Close enemy clearance.

APPENDIX B: EJCC PROPERTIES
===========================
This explains the proper executions of some EJCCs.
Leg Whip = FS3*: This EJCC is probably one of the best infinite
"Signature Combo". It is a good Okizeme tactic for CPU opponents only.
1. Do a counter hit Leg Whip.
2. When the opponent is stunned, wait until the CPU hits the ground.
3. D+3 the enemy, you should be crouching after the move.
4. While standing, execute 3+4 to pursuit the standing enemy. You should
be able to stun the CPU grounded. Avoid holding D while in 3+4.
5. To continue the combo, do steps 3 to 4. For beginners, you could tap
3+4 for about 4 times until Eddy execute the Front Stinger while standing.
Generally, any other EJCC that ends in Front Stinger 3 can follow the
Steps 3 to 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freak Show = 1,[FS2*]~D,[FS4*]: This is the ultimate "Signature Combo". It
is the advanced string of FS2*. It is highly recommended for CPU Okizeme
tactics.
1. Start the juggle with a Freak Show.
2. Juggle the CPU with a left punch.
3. Do the D+4 at the same time the CPU hits the ground. You should be
crouching after the move.
4. While standing, execute 3+4 to pursuit the standing enemy. You should
be able to stun the CPU grounded. Avoid holding D while in 3+4.
5. D+4 the enemy to stun the standing enemy grounded.
6. To continue the combo repeat steps 4 to 5. For beginners, you could tap
3+4 for about 4 times until Eddy execute the Front Stinger while standing.
7. After FS2*, ~D immediately to RLX.
8. RLX+3+4 to continue the combo.
9. From RLX+3+4, there are two things you should remember, If you're near
the enemy's feet, use D+4,FC+3+4~D; or
10.If you're far from the enemy, use FC+3+4~D instead.
11.To continue the combo, repeat steps 7 to 10.
12.You can also transition from the FS4* back to the FS2* string.
Generally, any other EJCC that ends in Front Stinger 2 can follow the
Steps 4 to 5.
Generally, any other EJCC that ends in Front Stinger 4 can follow the
Steps 7 to 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leg Whip = LW1*: This EJCC works both for Human and CPU Players depending
on situations.
1. Do a counter hit Leg Whip.
2. For Human Players, you can immediately execute the Leg Whip 1.
3. For CPU players, you need to delay your Leg Whip 1. I.e., your b+4
should miss hitting the enemy's head as he/she falls to the ground.
Generally, any other EJCC that ends in the Leg Whip 1, you really
have to end it in the Full Mars Attack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perch Flop Kick = CS2*: This EJCC works most entirely for big opponents.
Against CPU players, the second string of the Carnival Sweep 2 entirely
misses because of the enemy's technical rolls. Should you miss the CPU
from such attack, start crouching and recover from the attack with a low
punch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WK3*: This EJCC can be a very tricky move against your CPU opponent.
1. Knock your opponent with a Wheel Kick.
2. After he/she hits the ground, follow with RWD+u+3,3+4.
3. The CPU would usually stand immediately, but you got him/her grounded
again after u+3,3+4.
4. If the CPU rolls sideward after a knockdown, you'll miss the u+3,3+4.
The lucky opponent will blow your head in a RLX position.
There's no point which side you want to wheel kick, the CPU will
avoid them both with a grounded side roll.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elbow Upper = ![f,f+3+4],!(u_u/f)+2: I kind of like this move
cause the diving fist drop has some purposes for Eddy than any other
character. There are other EJCCs where you can use the U~N+2 but this
EJCC is much effective.
1. After you get a good bounce juggle to your CPU with a Boomerang,
you can follow the (u_u/f)+2 anytime.
2. Here's the good part, when you managed to reach the other side after a
Boomerang, follow with (u_u/f)+2. Be careful not to juggle the enemy with
your right punch. On big opponents, this scheme won't work.
3. Now, continue the attack with the d/b+3~4,4. Expect some blocks but
with the Guard Damage on, it's a good advantage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freakshow = !SKS*: I find it useless to CPU because they can block the 3~4
after they technical roll. I wish they couldn't. Nevertheless, if it
connects, give yourself a good pat in the back.
Generally, any other combo that ends in the Slippery Kick Strings is
similar to this EJCC. As your enemy lands, 3~4 as the CPU technical rolls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freakshow = !WW1*: This is a very great combo for both Human and CPUs
if they don't technical roll from the d/b+3.
Generally, any other combo that ends in the Weed Whacker Strings is
similar to this EJCC. As your enemy lands, d/b+3,~4,(4_1+2) the same
time the CPU hits the ground.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leg Whip = f+4~B, ^FP2* Gosh! You have to try this combo! You'll thank Eddy
for it. It only works for Big opponents.
1. Counter hit with a b+4.
2. As you opponent falls, f+4,~B, HSP.
3. Now here's the hard part. Your enemy must GET-UP while doing 1 in
the Flop Punch 2 string for the whole combo to work!
4. This technique works better with CPUs but found it useless because
they would technical roll at your Weed Whacker.
This string is also similar to the Slippery Kick and 4 Hit String Start-up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leg Whip = LW2* This is pure Capoeira technique. A VERY good combo
for Big opponents. Another good discovery. I recommend you try this one.
1. Counter hit with b+4
2. As you opponent falls, b+4,3,4,4,3+4. If you got all the strings hit
correctly, you should send your big opponent being juggled sideward while
suffering in agony from your combo.
3. Your opponent's face should be facing down after the combo. Against a
CPU, you can follow the combo with d/b+3+4 for additional damage. You'll
have a hard time using this EJCC against Kuma/Panda.
4. Other strings in this combo are okay if your opponent doesn't technical
roll.
This string is also similar to the 4 Hit String Start-up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leg Whip = f+4~B,^CS2* Another good combo. Also for Big opponents.
1. Counter hit with a b+4.
2. As you opponent falls, f+4~B,HSP.
3. Now here's the hard part. Your enemy must GET-UP while doing 2 in
the Carnival Sweep 2 string for the whole combo to work!
4. This technique works better with CPUs.
This string is also similar to the Slippery Kick and 4 Hit String Start-up.

ADVANCED REFERENCES (tips to your expertise)
===================
At the ARCADES:
1. Watch Newbies or Veterans playing Tekken 3. Observe them how they
play their favorite character and examine how they commonly use their
techniques for battle. Therefore you got a tactical advantage of planning
a good strategy against that player.
2. When playing alone, do not eventually show off your real moves, if
there were players watching, They would do the tips given above. For you,
it will give you the challenge of limiting your moves against the CPU
while attempting to win at the same time.
3. Decrease your mashing ability. Since Eddy was known to be a hard
tapping button masher to figure out the timing of his moves, You got to
learn when to delay those buttons. It'll give you less effort and more
comfort.
4. Do not stick on just one side of the screen. As much as possible,
be capable of playing at both sides.
5. When you encounter buttons that are out of order, learn to manage the
game using the remaining buttons. Its gonna be hard but you got to deal
with it but if you feel the challenge, find some tactical advantage.
6. Do not hesitate what moves to use when in battle or when the enemy's
HP is getting low. Beat the enemy as simple and as careful as possible.
7. Learn the properties of your opponent. Eg. Jin cannot hit you with
his f,N,d,d/f+2 by crouching because of a high hit property but
Heihachi can with his middle hit property.
8. Don't get eaten by overconfidence. Players and CPU you defeated today
will beat you tomorrow.
9. LEARN A NEW CHARACTER. When you've exposed all the moves EDDY can
give, your moves will be easily familiarized and anticipated (just like
King's 10 hit combo). The more characters you learn, the more characters
to choose in battle.
At the PLAYSTATION:
1. Practice and create new attack and defensive strategies.
2. Learn offensive and defensive maneuvers from all your stances.
3. Combine strings from existing ones.
4. Play the Tekken Force Mode, Survival Mode, Team Battle Mode, and
Time Attack Mode.
5. Bring a friend so you can enjoy together.
At the INTERNET:
1. Visit TEKKEN ZAIBATSU, where you could find the game's information, the
character's profiles, frame data, movelists and combolists.
2. Look for sites where you can download videos from matches and combo
acts so you can follow them.

If there's any section of this FAQ that needs to be cleared, learned,
commented, offended, corrected, and suggested, e-mail me in my address at
[email protected]. This account will last until APRIL 2004. I got
a lot of nasty mails here and I hope if won't come from you. The other

The Tekken Zaibatsu Move Lists is where I got most of the ideas in
making this FAQ, I thank the site very much. Again, I cannot promise you
pure victory or that you'll be able to execute all the techniques listed
here. Also, don't rely too much on the ATK%. It's just my research but I'm
no nerd. Try the EJCC and rate them yourself. I usually don't mind on how
much damage the EJCCs does right now. Just give them a scare.
I've been reading other contributor's FAQ and some of EJCCs were
already familiar to them. Well, I wouldn't doubt it anyway, since I
only discovered EJCCs by just playing EDDY. I haven't included all of
Eddy's move cause I'm still unsure how to include them in the EJCC, even
if there are some obvious ones.
By the time you read this FAQ I'll probably work on EDDY at TTT.
It's very hard to find him a Tag Partner (I mean his real partner cause
every other character does), although there are some specific ones such
as Kazuya and Hwoarang. Otherwise, I maybe just home and still complaining
about having a PS2 or playing this game for other character guides.
