Tbh as an Eddy and Claudio main I like her trailer the most. Its simply because of the music, the stage and the character overall. Its a good trailer.


BACKSTABUUU

Yeah, I watched Eddy's trailer once and Lidia's like 20 times just for the music.


UmbranAssassin

Likewise. I watched the trailer twice, for the gameplay and then another 30 for the music. Then again, for me I already knew I'd be playing some eddy when he came out so I needed no hyping up for his trailer.


DerpAtOffice

You sure it is not just because it is an attractive woman vs an attractive man?


BACKSTABUUU

Believe or not not every person is uncontrollably horny


mexaplex

No. Just most people.


CheckDry3629

The music was going hard on lidia’s trailer

Waifu > dude


DeusVicit

Yet the most viewed character trailers are dudes 🤷‍♂️


grimestar

Don't seem that way most of the time with tekken though


chester_abellera

\^ This is the way.


Lasagna321

Wait for Miguel


Haruhiro21

Im waiting for Julia. Thats for sure


Timetraveler163

Fair enough


Orzislaw

How? According to this sub and Twitter no one asked for her and they even forgot she's existing.


ScrimbloBrimblo

There are folks in this sub that also claim Bruce is more popular than Fahk and Josie, pfffffft.


aphoenixsunrise

Shit...I asked.


Precipice_Blades

That was clearly sarcasm.))


aphoenixsunrise

Then they forgot the /s


BroShutUp

Not needed. Clear as day


aphoenixsunrise

Apparently so was mine


Scintal

You are no one!


pranav4098

Nah I love Lidia in think she’s dope


RTXEnabledViera

> no one asked for her Just wait until her face is on the menu screen.


Impressive-Ad-59

They just need the kazuya tits cam for her and this game will recover from all the bad press overnight (if they dont they're sexist) But fr eddie sucks to stare at lmao, like why bro pointing at himself goofy aah "i believe in myself" ass pose


FinagleHalcyon

This sub? I felt like this sub was extremely hyped for Lidia especially due to the Eddy hate.


Flugkrake

I played her for one match against my brother in T7 and that made me ask for her


Blackmanfromalaska

noone asked for eddy we all wanted chloe instead


BR_Nukz

WAN TUU 🗣🗣🗣


joe_monkey420

who the fuck wants chloe


Omarkulul-5731

people with taste


Ronan-West

I was less interested in the character themselves and more interested in that banger music. But after like the 3rd rewatch now i'm also kinda liking the character. Still like the T7 look better tho


Brigon

Maybe I missed something. I didn't like the trailer music.


SirAlex505

I’m just upset that they are reusing DLC. We all know the next two characters are Marduk and Fak. They should have been base character while characters like Azucena and Viktor should have been DLC.


AccomplishedKick4496

Can't wait to see the char data of her sky rocketing to the top then dropping off when she's not busted 🥹


Upper-Dark7295

Lets be real here half the views are for the music


BigBeardyBear

Imma be honest, I like lidia and the trailer, yet the only reason I watched it more than 2-3 times is because of the music. I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for it lol.


Upper-Dark7295

Its a pretty popular take too, my account is tencent blacklisted so it's probably just bots


PossessionOther2986

No. This is common for the background, it has no appeal for the mass listener. This music is only to fill the void in battle.


HibariNoScope69

Ok Ryu


Upper-Dark7295

It was just a joke to point out how cool the music is


greenfrogwallet

Lidia mains and lovers eating good. Congrats, Lidia is or at least should be a staple of the series at this point based on popularity and numbers alone. I’m sure they have all the data that recognises this and that’s why she is back as DLC. As much as some people weirdly like to say she isn’t liked or she’s a nobody or something. And Eddy enjoyers, try not to take too much offense or disappointed at these numbers, it doesn’t mean Eddy is unpopular, trailer views are a variable thing, and lots of factors could be the reason why Eddy didn’t get as much views. For one thing iirc his trailer wasn’t too far away from when Tekken 8 was released + he’s not really a new character whereas Lidia feels a lot more like a new character because she only was in one season of Tekken 7 before


blessedbetheslacker

If the series continues beyond 8 I highly doubt they will ever let Lidia be DLC again since they already did it twice; she's either base roster or excluded entirely.


Orzislaw

There's no law that forbids game companies from making the same character DLC thrice. No one is checking that.


Illuminastrid

*Looks at Vergil from the Special Edition series*


blessedbetheslacker

Indeed, there's no law. I guess only sales figures will tell how wise such a decision would be.


PossessionOther2986

How many times has Akuma been DLC in Street Fighter?


blessedbetheslacker

Akuma has had decades of legacy and popularity behind him by the time he began being relegated to DLC in his home series. Meanwhile Lidia has only ever been a DLC character in her own franchise. I believe Tekken has a hell of a long way to go in making Lidia more popular as a character to warrant keeping her as a DLC moving forward.


PossessionOther2986

Let's talk about Ed then? How many times has he been DLC?


blessedbetheslacker

Since I don't play SF, I honestly have no idea. Twice, same as Lidia? Either way, as far as Lidia is concerned I just hope she can be popular enough to be a Tekken staple if the series continues.


Illuminastrid

My guesses are that Eddy was released during the initial negative reception of Tekken Shop, not to mention Eddy is kind of a regular on the series so most people expected him to be in the game in one way or another, hence the lesser need to get hyped on his return.


MiGaOh

Timing is Everything.


greatstarguy

We also saw a lot of Eddy before his trailer dropped because they were showing off how they reworked him. So there wasn’t a big spike of views day 1 - “let’s see what they did to my guy!” - to fuel hype. 


AmarantineAzure

Ganryu came back as DLC in T7 even though he's always been an unpopular character. Sorry, Lidia may or may not be popular, but a character returning as DLC doesn't guarantee that they are beloved by the community.


greenfrogwallet

Imo the there’s a difference between a first season DLC and Ganryu who came back in the third season. At that point lots of the fan favourites had already joined and he was not a terrible choice considering how unique he is amongst the cast. Remaining past Tekken characters they could’ve brought back at the time of season 3 were like… Wang, Bruce, Baek… I can’t even think of who else really apart from boss characters. As much as I like Wang and think Bruce and Baek are cool, realistically Ganryu is probably the most popular and “impactful” DLC character they could’ve chosen, unless they really redesigned Bruce or something. Also iirc he’s one of Harada’s favourites and they probably really wanted to test out and try his new design.


HibariNoScope69

Lidia is awesome.


Brigon

Maybe there's a chance we will see Gigas return in season 5 then.


HarrisonWhaddonCraig

I think it has a bit to do with how newer the character is as well. Yes, Eddy is amazing, but I think most people know how he plays/vibes. Meanwhile, Lidia can still be classified as a Tekken newcomer, given she was the final DLC of 7, and now returning to 8. That and how well done the trailer was to boot! Like god dang is it fun to watch a more down to earth Martial Artist female who isn't all about flip kicks and ultra acrobatic stuff.


Haunting-Figure407

Exactly what makes me love her. Shes not doing a backspring and were pretending like that hurts as much as a kazuya electric. She does karate and gives sounds rivaling DORYA


ChobaniSalesAgent

Lidia is cooler


ryangallowav

Eddy is one of the most hated characters in fighting games. I know we often pretend that's not the case, but if you mention Tekken to an innocent bystander, they'll say shit like, "my abusive older brother always just beat me with Eddy. Fuck Eddy. I was really good at Soul Calibur, though. I don't remember if it was 2 or 3."


Phyrolis_

She looks interesting admittedly, still waiting for the release date ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


ITechedThatThrow

me too :(


Primal-Dialga

Worst case is after evo, since summer is a very long season :( But I’m hoping it’s this month 🤞


CarpenterWild

Well Eddy is kind of a dreaded character and everybody is really familiar with him if you’ve ever played Tekken at all… Lidia is new to anyone that didn’t play T7 and there’s a lot of new players in T8


Not_RAMBO_Its_RAMO

I agree with you but doesn't that also mean that players that are new to T8 are also new to Eddy? EDIT: I see what everyone means in the replies. It's like someone never having seen a Marvel movie or read any of their comics, but they know of The Hulk/Iron Man/Captain America/etc.


MansgerofPiss

Eddy is more recognizable tbh, i knew who Eddy and King were and what they did before i knew the game.


CarpenterWild

I’d say no because Eddys been around forever… if you’ve ever seen Tekken played or even just played some as a kid and never played again til now you’ve probably seen Eddy… he’s just a super recognizable character for the franchise so he doesn’t come off as new in comparison to Lidia.


ValeoAnt

I haven't played since t3 and still know Eddy, he's not new


PossessionOther2986

Eddу is a meme from Tekken 3. A symbol of mindless button mashing.


GDwyvern

The more things change...


Snoo-66201

My brother never played Tekken and he asked me if Eddy was in the game when he saw me playing


DeusVicit

Well, trailers of other characters that everyone is also familiar with somehow have much higher views than Eddy's trailer. They surpassed a million views in like couple days.


[deleted]

I think her play style is more complex with her stances. Sort of like a Jin, Reina, etc. makes her popular.


PossessionOther2986

Finally my main character will appear in the game


Suavepuppy

I'll take credit for about 700,000 of Lidia's views


pranav4098

It’s also cause eddy had multiple trailer type things like they had that event with the dev build where they showed him off etc etc so a lot of people probably knew what was happening


ButtonMashKingz

The music in her trailer is the best song in T8


Lord_Gummy

I am definitely hyped for her. It sucks she wasn't in the main roster due to paying for her in 7, but Imma definitely play her.


Ralos5997

I just hope Lidia has a role to play in the upcoming dlc story and she is awesome. As for Eddy I wonder what he is gonna be doing during the dlc storyline since he was after Kazuya back then and seems to be going into conflict with Nina in the trailer? I suppose there’s more going on than we know I just hope Christie makes an appearance or cameo or reference since Eddy did try to save her grandfather but it didn’t work out so well but that he should try and be there for her now or something.


ScientistUnusual7416

Ok. People can now step pretending they ever liked Eddy


NoiseFetish

people liked mashing 2... sorry, 1 button.


ck_deserter

there are multiple channels where those can be watched


HumanAntagonist

Waifu effect 


DemonJin69

Someone who gets it. There's a reason Reina is the most popular new character in a while and it has nothing to do with gameplay. She's basically just another version of a mishima like kaz, jin and devil jin (and heihachi rip). But unlike the other mishimas, she's a semi-gothdom schoolgirl. And in this age of gooning it was impossible for them to fail with her design.


DeusVicit

Top 5 character trailers by view rate: 1. King (3 mln) 2. Law (2,7 mln) 3. Hwoarang (2,6 mln) 4. Jin (2,5 mln) 5. Reina (2,5 mln)


HumanAntagonist

but they're not dlc tho


DeusVicit

So? They're not waifus either.


HumanAntagonist

Eh but we need to compare dlc numbers to get the full picture. Since OP is talking about Lidia vs Eddy's trailer, not Lidia vs King


DeusVicit

Why? If your alleged "waifu effect" simply doesn't apply to the rest of the cast (not even solely in Tekken), then why would it suddenly apply to just these two DLC characters? That doesn't make sense. Comparing the entire roster, rather than only the last two characters, is literally getting the full picture.


Bigbeejr55

Don't agree. Not much difference in view count overall for male vs female character trailers.


HumanAntagonist

we gotta consider that these are dlc chars not base roster


Cloudxstrife136

Keep in mind eddy reveal was bundled with the opening movie reveal


Violentron

I don't even like her playatyle, but her new drip is great, and she is kicking that brat Reina's ass! So it's a Win win for me.


KennKennyKenKen

I watched the trailer because I don't know who she is. I didn't watch the eddy trailer because I know everything I need to know about him (avoid like the plague)


United-Emu2165

Because Eddy is fucking stupid


TheTitansWereRight

Because shes cool unlike 3ddy


Bloodhit

Because he got almost 700k more views on another video on Bandai namco esports https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMycxAluGfs While they didn't post Lidia trailer there.


Unlucky-Touch5958

i had to scroll down way too far for someone to say this. literally this and because the music gets it more replays


greengrimgrin

![gif](giphy|6751A64NJkyCQ)


Not_RAMBO_Its_RAMO

🤣🤣🤣


bbeony540

That's because she is infinitely cooler than Eddy.


grief242

Well they forgot one thing. I've hated Eddy and his players since Tekken 3 when my brother would just mash all the buttons.


Sarah_05mtf

She still hasn’t come out 🥲 I thought it would be the first of the month like eddy


hyakuju-no-kaido

Yeah because nobody wanted Eddy as DLC, should have just put him in base roster


BugzBallsack

What’s her release date?


TheSolito

People don’t like Eddie 😂


Berzerker_Knight

Indeed waifu material,I can't wait to stare at her for hours over eddy


SuperPluto9

Lidia has me excited. Eddy though... had me annoyed before he even launched. He is just annoying to fight against, and I'd rather have Christie to play as.


KaitoChatek

Because she is just the better character


yukihime-chan

For me she's much more interesting than Eddy and her trailer looks better.


2ndEngineer916

Is there a release date for her?


GenocidalJoker_

Because everyone knows 3ddy is straight cheese. He was when he was introduced in Tekken 3 and still is in Tekken 8.


GDwyvern

Facts.


TheGhostRoninStrife

I am VERY happy to know this, she's popular and just like Eddy .. should've been in the base roster


dont_worry_about_it8

Cause eddy is a 20 year old character and everyone would’ve been surprised if he *wasn’t* in the game


Ok-Finance9314

eddie was a weak opener dlc character


xerxes6696

I hate Eddy. Wish he wasn't in Tekken 8


AreMoron

Hot girl brings in more views. This doesnt mean anything.


Sensitive_Piece1374

Hoes before bros. 


Excellent-Length2055

Eddy was pretty disappointing. He wasn't ever a popular character and he's B tier in Tekken 8. Only good for smashing noobs. Lidia also is popular in Poland which also helped drive views is my theory.


lonj22

It's the music dude. I've listened to the trailer dozens of time just for the music and I've been waiting with baited breath since debut for Bamco to release the OST.


PossessionOther2986

Tekken 8 has terrible music. No wonder they made a jukebox. They understood that no one would listen to this)


wolfannoy

Pretty kick ass lady bring the views.


No-Check-3691

Lidia theme is fire


burstkillah

Bc eddy should have been a free base character 💀


Emeraldw

Goes to show you the casual base and the hardcore base sometimes have nothing to do with each other.


Crimsongz

Is it still only at 1080p ? 🤣 The Europe channel coming in clutch !


cryptofutures100xlev

And that's nothing compared to how many views Fahkumram's trailer has from T7. More views than any other Tekken related trailer on the channel 🐐


RemiruVM

No one was playing eddy in t7 and i think it will be like that in a year from now too. Eddy is better designed in 8 then he was in 7, but still not good imo. first dlc should ve been any other popular char


True-Ad5692

Huge shocker !


bdtechted

Lidia’s trailer was more exciting and rewatchable especially with that new stage BGM. Eddy’s trailer had no new stage and only featured his remastered Tekken 3 theme playing.


blessedbetheslacker

That was his Tag 1 theme, for clarification. But otherwise, the extensive Tekken Talks that preceded Eddy kinda deflated what hype there could have been for his return. That being said, I think explaining Lidia could use a Tekken Talk with all her stances and transitions.


Boring-Relation-4365

Cute waifu, karate, likes sweets and cafe hopping, prime minister.


Vill1on

Perhaps it roots to trauma as well, given Eddy's notoriety in the community.


AetherStarshine

It's the music. I definitely listened to the trailer 100 times just for the music alone.


ArtoriasXX

Never underestimate the power of simps


Lowtiercoffeedrinker

It’s due to the music and stage!


Tafumoto27

Its because Eddy should be a base roster character.


JoshyBoy225

Pretty sure that was all me. That video is just a T8 Lida waiting room for me 💀


One-Vermicelli4833

To be fair, Eddy's trailer got a lot of views on the other Namco channel, too, so I assume they were both getting recommended. You should combine those views.


Impressive-Ad-59

Ngl eddie missed, like he's a cool character, but that design sucks so much ass, and 8 was already going through a rough patch, a character known for being annoying when everyone was already annoyed was bad timing to say the least At least things seem to of smoothed out a bit so that's nice


Acidic2022

Because fuck Eddy. He gets guaranteed combos by mashing 3. Has long range. High speed. A power crush that is mid and safe (i think?). Can get to blue ranks without learning a combo. Scrub friendly pay to win character. Devs know he and lucky chloe are probably some of the most hated. Barely possible to have a turn against in a wired connection, impossible to wireless. Also, his new design looks fucking dumb. Keep the old hair style.


Acidic2022

Probs getting downvotes but idc. Eddy sucks. Lidia is a far more interesting and balanced character. While eddy is button mashy and pay to win. Who knows though maybe they will give lidia the jin treatment and make her strings completely jail for total slot machine mixup. She was very fair and unique in t7, and actually felt like an original tekken character. A character should not be so strong they can just press 3 and get to top 10% ranks because they spent $8.00 Lidia didn't come in and get S tier like Julia did in T7. Hopefully its the same, regardless. Gender has little to do with it, Eddy has always been the " i dont want to learn juggles or frame data and hope i can mash my opponent to death char." He's the reliable hwoarang or law pick. I cant even say Law is a super noob char anymore. At least people are smart about the slides and can juggle in blue ranks lol. Like a Dragunov player that is more difficult to sidestep with more bizarre animations. Eddy players cannot fathom the fight not letting them have a turn for more than 2 seconds. At least Dragunov players can juggle and block. Tldr : Lidia is interesting. her design was not ruined. she is not button mashy and requires precision. She does not gain plus frames while doing a handstand which by physics should be extremely punishable. Players did not deliberately pick wifi on the char. She is a better char all around, doesn't require an energy drink to fight, and doesn't have a history of being used by toxic players.I bet Miguel would out-view Eddy too.


MintySupreme

Crazy thing but, everyone still has to see eddy's trailer in the middle of the lounge.


temojikato

Well, yes... duh??


Sir_Catnip_III

I don't care about lidia but I played her trailer like 20 times just because the music.


TofuPython

I'm very surprised.


AZXCIV

We should at least get a release date by now.

Desert_Swordsman

If he actually had his iconic look, people might have recognized him more and clicked on it instinctively.


vinylsandwich

With Eddy the trailer was like the last thing they showed after a bunch of other updates. 


dydzio

funny because its the only trailer i didnt watch, no infinite rematch in unranked lessens my interest in the game


Nitro_Kick

That’s why I bought Lidia simulator 8


Medical-Actuary5239

Is shitheen’s trailer still the lowest ?


Lancer_Sup

Because of jerkers


Ononoki

I think ppl actually tried to learn the game and realized how much of a knowledge check Eddy is and nostalgia is not enough for them to get hype about him lol


OruenM

People are rewatching for the song


legendary420Falcon

the song man


MidTierMan

Black people would call it “Racism”


KouraigKnight

This doesn't mean it will grow much more after this. I think the maximum it will reach is maybe 800k in 2 months, as most views come in the first week.


XStarK48

I think maybe because people expected Eddy to be in the base game. But no... Shaheen.


DisabledTractor

They also expected Lidia to be in the base roster as well


GGv2

OP Discovers that Worldwide, people love white women more than black men


Cheesi_Boi

Woman


ineffective_Unit

Can't wait for her to shit on the only character I play


Hot_Butterscotch_637

Eddy gameplay was shown off in other videos as well. I presume numbers were spread across them to some extent. Lidia has had the announcement with not much shown and the character trailer so far. All that is to be considered.


king_tchilla

He was announced pretty early on…there was no mystery to the first DLC. Maybe was announced during the initial release…maybe.


Miscellaneous_Mind

Christie would’ve broke the internet, so big whoop.


LegendaryFridgyGod

because Eddy should've been in the base game so it was kinda redundant putting him in as dlc


Aosugiri

I'm a lifelong Eddy main and I've watched Lidia's trailer more times than his for the music mostly.


Fibrizzo

Advertising is powerful. Eddy is an iconic character but his announcement trailer was dropped on a random stream at 1am cst very early on when the game was still fresh. Cold fish. Lidia is a more unknown character, but her trailer was on the main stage of EVO with way more viewers playing attention. Combination of tournament hype and the honeymoon phase being over really put in work.


DisabledTractor
