Introduction
Tiger Jackson was introduced in Tekken 3, and he returned for Tekken Tag Tournament. 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 Tekkn 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 2, 1996. Tekken Tag Tournament, 2000.
