If you are an experienced Tekken3 player, try to button mash. I bet you can't! That's because, button mashing is a step on the road to becoming good player. If you see a masher, fight against them and try to teach them something. These people are often very willing to learn. Every single thing you teach them they will try. And remember, if you hate mashers, the more of them you help become decent players, the less mashers there will be!! =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |Eddy's move list and why Eddy? | +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ For those of you who no very little about Tekken but really wanna give it a don't think "Oh no, hes gonna laugh at me", just try and pick Eddy. The easiest wayto mash with Eddy, is to hold either Down, or Back and whack the bottom 2 buttons. (3+4) If you continue to whack them in varied patterns eg, 3+4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3+4. You will see Eddy do handstands and kicks and a heap of other things. The first time I tried this I got to stage 3 with 2 Perfects!!! If you come up against Hwoarang, just go sic! He is Eddy's worst nightmare. The main thing is to remember that if you loose at least you had a go and proberbly learnt something, weather it be tactic, moves that hit, or just how to press the buttons. These all help you progress to becoming a better player!! For those of you who have mashed and know a little bit about Eddy, here is Eddys move-list! -Key- -Button Config.- -Joystick Config.- _____ _____ UB U UF 1 - LP | || | \ | / 2 - RP |__1__||__2__| B_____\|/_____F 3 - LK _____ _____ /|\ 4 - RK | || | / | \ f - tap forward |__3__||__4__| DB D DF b - tap backward d - tap down u - tap up db - tap down backward df - tap down forward uf - tap up forward ub - tap up backwards F - Hold forward B - Hold backward D - Hold down U - Hold up DF - Hold down forward DB - Hold down backward UF - Hold up forward UB - Hold up backwards ss - any direction sidestep ssr - sidestep right ssl - sidestep left hs - handstand position gr - grounded position (WS) - while standing - when in the process of getting up) , - then ~ - quickly then + - and (together) (!) - Unblockable (J) - Juggle hit (*) - Stuns If you are even bothered. The punch buttons will select Eddy wearing green and yellow! The Kick will make him wear purple and blue and wear cool glasses. And START will make him TIGER! He is a 70's dude. He has an Afro and Huge Bell-Bottoms and long Sideys and weird glasses! He's like Jimmy Hendrix in a fighting game. (Without the Guitar!!) If the move is indented e.g db+4 ~B it means it can only be done after the move before it is. Most of these are Eddy's stance changes! +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |Eddy's Movelist...| =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ -=-=-=THROWS=-=-=- Basics! 180 degree leg toss - 1+3 Handstand Franken Steiner - 2+4 Advanced! b - f+1+2 (b, db, b, df, f+1+2) - Spinning hip toss ssr, 1+3 - turning neck kick ssl, 1+3 - side flip Back throw! 1+2 - Flipping leg toss -=-=-=TECHNIQUES=-=-=- 1, 2 - one, two (punches) db+4 - barb wire (kick) ~B - into hs (stance change) f, f+3+4 - Boomerang kick (kick) f, f+4, 4 - Leaping kick (kick) f, f+4, 3 - Low leaping kick (kick) uf+3+4 - jumping kick (kick) ~D - into gr (stance change) uf+4 - hopping roundkick (kick) 4~3 - moon sattelite (kick) rk - bazooka kick (kick) lk - moon sattelite on ground (kick) ~B - into gr (stance change) ~D - into gr (stance change) 4 - sweep (kick) 3 - sweep (kick) 4 - high kick (kick) 3~4 - spinning sweep (kick) 4~3 - whirlwind kick (kick) ~B - into hs (stance change) 1+2 - crying needle (punch) 1+2, 1+2 - double crying needle (punch) 3~4 - vault sweep (kick) ~B - into hs (stance change) ~D - into gr (stance change) 4, 4 - ground kick's (kick) ~B - into hs (stance change) ~D - into gr (stance change) db+3+4 - windup ground kick (!)

This will (hopefully) leave your opponent confused, Eddy is alredy an extremely confusing character so to learn to use him well will make him impossibly confusing and hard to follow (for the opponent) +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ |How to progress from button mashing| =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= The first and most important of all is to figure out a few things and do them, even if they are cheap, you will know what you are doing. Knowing what you are doing is he most important thing. If you do a vault sweep, and think, I meant to do that, then you are on the right track. If you see someone else using Eddy and they are pretty good, (and they don't look like they'll eatcha) say to them, "Hey, your pretty good, can you teach me to play like that, or can you teach me to be better?" The best way to learn is to be taught while you are seeing what it is doing. Reading this FAQ 400 times and being able to recite how to do the moves, to the exact detail, is no good if you can't see what the moves are. On a day (if you know you are going to play as Eddy) read this FAQ, and remember how to do, say 5 moves, and their extentions (if applicable) and try to use them. Then the next day pick another 3, and try them and still use the first 5. If you use them in 2 days you can KNOW how to do 8 moves. On top of the Mashing 8 moves is very helpful. If you do that for 2 weeks going to the arcades 5x a week, you will KNOW 35 or so moves!!! That is a big step out of mashing. But the most important thing is experience!!!! +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ |How to look sofisticated, and not like a masher| =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= One of the important things about getting people to help you, is if they think you are at least an OK Tekken player and will be willing to learn and understand what they are saying, and not go "Duh, which wun is rite kikk, and lefff froes?"!!! (with spit going everywhere!) One thing that can make you look better is to not grip the stick, so that you're knuckles are white, but more importantly place the palm of your hand on the side of the stick, apart from looking better this allows you to tap and HOLD with greater ease. Another thing is try not to be really cheezey (do the same thing because it always hits) even to a computer opponent and especially not to a human. If you are going to ask someone for help go to them and ask them nicely and sya "look, I'm not that good, but I'd really like to learn...etc." If you do this and then don't act like a complete idiot, you will proberbly find a person who is willing to teach you. AND ALWAYS TRY TO DO WHAT THE PERSON IS SAYING, IF IT'S HARD SAY SO DON'T START DOING YOUR OWN THING! +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ |What I have to say to y'all| =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= This is a FYI section, about me and this FAQ.
