Eddy is the first of four DLC characters for Season 1 of Tekken 8. And... what's this? The next character was just announced this morning. I don't want to have to make a whole separate news post for that. So look:
Lidia is Tekken 8's next DLC fighter. She's coming this summer, say the developers on Twitter.
part of the reason this happens is because Tekken (and Smash) are popular to casual audiences, many of which often are one trick ponies and disconnect when they lose looking for another player to attempt to beat with their one trick, without attenpting to learn arguably the most important skill in fighting games, adaptation. its a large factor in why the online experience in both games are kinda trashy, because a decent chunk of them dont take losing gracefully.
