== Introduction ==
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (タイガー・ジャクソン ''Taigā Jyakuson'') was introduced in ''[[Tekken 3]]'', and he returned for ''[[Tekken Tag Tournament]]'' and ''[[Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]''. He is "unlocked" by selecting [[Eddy Gordo]] with the Triangle or Start button (although ''[[Tekken 3]]'' requires you to beat the game with seventeen unique characters first). Originally thought as an altenate-ego of Eddy, it is revealed in the Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which comes with a biography for each character, that they are different individuals citing the two are "...not at all related". Notably, in the ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion Artbook'', which came coupled with the ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion'' Bundle, states that Tiger Jackson was originally an unused concept for Eddy Gordo not used for the final character.
'''Games in order of appearance:'''

'''Story'''
Tiger is a mysterious man who entered the "The King of Iron Fist Tournament" dressed in clothes inspired by the golden age of soul music. His polished capoeira moves look quite similar to those used by Eddy, but the nature of the relationship between these two fighters remains a mystery. [http://www.cubed3.com/news/16963]
(''From Wii U Edition'')
This mysterious man, whose fashion embodies the essence of soul music, suddenly appeared on the stage of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. He share the same Capoeira skills as Eddy Gordo, but the two are not at all related<ref>''[[Tekken Tag Tournament 2|TTT2 Wii U Edition]]'' bio. ([[:File:TTT2WiiU-TigerBio2.jpg|image]])</ref>.
:'''Ending''' ''(Unofficial Synopsis)''
Tiger does not have an ending, and thus is the only character in the game not to have one.
'''Trivia'''
* He also has special throw with [[Eddy]] or [[Christie]]. He will perform Rodeo Spin and he and his partner will perform "Slippery Kicks" and whoever is being tagged in will perform "Perch Flop Kick".
*He has two win poses with [[Christie]], both of which have them dancing together.
* He and [[Unknown]] are the only characters to not have any items in the customize option. (Both can still have auras, panels changed ect.)
