Tekken 8 Streamer Dominates Ranked Using Only One Button

Eddy Gordo, the renowned Brazilian Capoeira master, is widely recognized as one of the most powerful characters in Tekken 8. Recently, a Twitch streamer has been dominating the ranked mode of the game by solely pressing one button with Eddy Gordo. This has sparked a lot of discussion and speculation within the community.

Tekken 8’s first DLC character for Season 1 was Eddy Gordo, who received significant updates that transformed him into a formidable opponent. A streamer known as jimmashima has taken full advantage of Eddy’s newly enhanced abilities, dominating the ranked ladder with just a single button.

“Jimmashima implemented a script that utilizes the “3”button, representing the Left Kick in Tekken 8. To prove that he is not cheating, he also included a user interface to display his use of only one button on his controller.”

Currently sitting at Warrior rank, this Eddy Gordo player is known for his one-button spamming technique. He has been consistently defeating lower-ranked opponents with ease. At one point, jimmashima had the most views on Twitch in the Tekken 8 category as fans were intrigued by his effortless gameplay.

Tekken 8 is known for its difficulty, as the franchise has always placed a strong emphasis on legacy skills. For those who have played the game for years, the mechanics come naturally. However, for a new player, particularly a computer-controlled opponent, this is not always the case.

Despite this, the bot’s continuous success and advancement on the ranked ladder only serves to highlight the limited understanding of newer players. The situation has become so dire that opponents are even forfeiting matches if they are pitted against the Eddy Gordo bot.

Similarly, 3ddySmurfy, another streamer who goes by the username 3ddySmurfy on Twitch, also tested out this bot and demonstrated comparable outcomes during ranked matchmaking. This raises questions about the level of attention players give to events and how much information they acquire.

After being scripted, a bot relies on consistent patterns in combat, as simply pressing a single button limits its options. In the event of a losing battle, it is more effective to practice and strategize against the bot’s moves rather than forcefully trying to win. This same reasoning was echoed by a Redditor in a similar discussion.

Regardless, the current state of Tekken 8 is accurately portrayed by this Eddy Gordo bot. While the game is exceptional, there are areas that require improvements. A comprehensive patch is currently in development to address various issues within the game. The developers have also shared a comprehensive roadmap for the remainder of the year.

The community is split between those who spread negativity and those who spread positivity. Regardless of which side you choose to align with, Tekken 8 is on the rise and will continue to do so in the days to come.
