[edit] Introduction
Tiger is playable in both Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, and he is "unlocked" by selecting Eddy Gordo with the Start button (although Tekken 3 requires you to beat the game with seventeen unique characters first). It is unknown if Tiger is merely an alter-ego of Eddy Gordo or a different person. Tiger's voice is the same as Eddy's. In Eddy's ending in Tekken Tag Tournament, both Eddy and Tiger were performing moves at the same time, so they might be two different people. However, Tekken Tag Tournament is a non-canonical game, and there has been no official statement about Tiger from Namco. Tiger has the same moves as Eddy, as well as the same animations that are shown before and after a fight. However, Tiger has his own endings. To this day, it has not been confirmed if Tiger and Eddy are the same person or two different people.
[edit] Trivia
- In Tekken 3, Tiger can be used after beating the game with all of the characters. To use him, the player must go to Eddy Gordo on the "Character Select" screen and press either the "Start" button or the "Triangle" button.
- Tiger Jackson's bosses in the Tekken Force side game in Tekken 3 are (in order of appearance) Eddy Gordo, Eddy Gordo, Tiger Jackson, and Heihachi Mishima.
- Tiger Jackson's name is never said by the announcer in Tekken 3 or Tekken Tag Tournament.
- Tiger Jackson can be seen in the Pool Party stage of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
[edit] Story
According to http://www.jun-shrine.com:
Tiger Jackson is merely an alter-ego for Eddy Gordo. They are both one and the same person. A true lover of all things 70's, Tiger loves a good groove and is a proficient disco dancer, utilizing his dancing skills and his martial arts to deadly precision.
Note: Tiger has not been given a story anywhere else, and it is still debatable who Tiger really is. There is also no proof that this came from Namco.
[edit] Ending Animation "Super Fly!"
Tiger is at a disco club dancing to some disco music. The scene ends with Tiger striking a pose.
