Author’s Take :
Adding diversity to any game is wonderful especially when it comes to fighting games. Seeing characters of different parts of the world, walks of life and adding some melanin to the equation should be as easy as breathing in 2017, but sadly is not the routine. Fighting games have always been one of the trail blazers of diverse characters. This announcement has truly risen the hype meter for Tekken 7 even more because Eddy Gordo is bae in these Tekken streets.
