Introduction
There has been some talk of whether Eddy and Christie have been good for the game of capoeira. On one hand they have popularized capoeira, but on the other they are adding to the misconceptions about the art. Capoeira still has strong underlying philosophies which haven't been separated to create a corporate sport like has happened to most martial arts.
Eddy Gordo's nickname, Faisca, means "spark" in Portuguese.
Some of Eddy's moves are gymnastics, not capoeira. Specifically the flare, windmill, and handstand movements.
Story
Tekken 5
Eddy Gordo, legendary Capoeira prodigy.
Eddy's master was about to be freed from prison after a long incarceration. Eddy went to the prison to meet his master but instead found a frail old man that was only a shadow of the strong Capoeira master he once knew.
Upon taking his master to a hospital, Eddy was told his master had an incurable illness and had less then six months to live. However, it may be possible to discover a cure if they had access to the technology and resources of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Several days later, Eddy decides to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 with Christie.

Tekken 4
Shortly after The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Eddy began to fulfill a promise he made to the legendary Capoeira master, which was to pass on the art of Capoeira to the granddaughter of the legendary Capoeira master, Christie Monteiro. Christie became an impressive fighter after only two years of training. Eddy abruptly disappeared one day, and he told Christie that he must seek vengeance against the person responsible for his father's death. Christie became troubled by his mysterious and sudden disappearance, and Christie entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to search for him, as the tournament was her only lead. Eddy appears as a playable character in this game as a costume swap for Christie Monteiro rather than a character with his own space. His prologue and epilogue were the same as Christie's prologue and epilogue.
Tekken 3
Eddy was born into one of the richest families in Brazil. Since he was a small boy he knew he would one day take over the family business. He was well-liked in his home town because he was a hard worker who treated others as his equals.
One day, when he was 19, Eddy came home from school to find his father shot and dying. He recalled that his father had been unusually nervous and fearful in recent weeks.
Eddy's father working to destroy the drug cartel in Brazil. His untimely death occurred just when he had obtained enough evidence to put the kingpins away for good. In his last breaths, Eddy's father told him, "Now is not the right time to fight. Falsely admit to the crime and hide in prison. Only there will you be safe". Eddy went along with his father's last wish and the model student went from a life of luxury to incarceration as a murderer.
Prison life was hell and not a day went by that Eddy didn't vow to get even with his father's killers. One day during a prison riot he watched an old man with great power fighting using a technique he called Capoeira. For 8 years Eddy practiced until he became a master and could be considered a lethal weapon.
Upon his release from prison, Eddy heard about the 'King of Iron Fist Tournament 3' and the MFE. He decided to enter the tournament, believing he could persuade the MFE to help him seek his long-awaited revenge.
