[edit] Introduction
Tiger Jackson 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). It's not known whether or not that Tiger is a friend of Eddy's or a altenate-ego of him. Namco has never said anything about this. However, in the Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion Artbook, which came coupled with the Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion Bundle, states that Tiger Jackson was an unused concept for Eddy Gordo not used for the final character.
Games in order of appearance:
- Tekken 3 (1997)
- Tekken Tag Tournament (1999)
- Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (2011)

Story
Tekken Tag Tournament is a non-canonical Tekken game containing no plot.
- Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Tiger is shown pointing at the sky and saying something in what appears to be Ling Xiaoyu's stage. Then, he points to the sky with his other hand. He raises and lowers one of his hands, and then he raises and lowers his other hand. He spins around once in one direction. Then, he spins around again in the opposite direction. Finally, he points at the screen and grins.
Trivia
- In Tekken Tag Tournament, there is a glitch with Tiger (and Eddy) when he is used as a Practice Mode dummy. All attacks performed on Tiger are read as a combo string, and it doesn't reset until you hit him to the ground or into full crouch.
Tiger will be featured in the non-canonical follow-up to Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2. [1]
