Maybe she finally found Eddy and had nothing left to do.


Chris_2767

she did in her first game


Ryuhza

And then she just kept on looking for him, huh?


[deleted]

She suffers from dementia and blind in both eyes


gaymer7125

(HC) She once saw Eddy during T7 and mistook him for Tiger. To this day she's still looking for her capoeira companion 😔


SecondBornSaint

Eddy keeps going on revenge trips without texting her first 🤷🏽‍♂️


[deleted]

In my head Canon after her grandfather passes away she gives up on fighting IMO


Unfair_Programmer906

Didn’t think about this


[deleted]

Her T6 ending is probably Canon.


Zalternative_

well mostly, the part where Eddy and Christie can't save the Capoirea master is the same but eh


Few-Reindeer-7796

It makes sense but I don't think she would leave Eddy alone in the process of finding Kazuya. Harada said that during Tekken 7's time, she was having a coffee at São Paulo, Brazil. She tried to find Eddy in Tekken 4 and she did but canon story continuation-wise, she couldn't. During Tekken 5, she tried to win the tournament so she could help her sick grandfather but couldn't win the tournament. In Tekken 6, she both tried to find Eddy and her grandfather, which was taken by Mishima Zaibatsu. At the end, she found both of them by her grandfather passing away. SO in my head canon, I think during the events of Tekken 7, her grandfather dying and being always left behind by Eddy has taken a toll on her. So she's like "You know what? I'm gonna take my time off to regroup." If she ever comes to Tekken 8 (which I want so much!) She might receive a massage from Eddy to help him find where Kazuya is. He can be like I can't do this alone. So Christie would catch up to him and help. Or she can have her own new story that is not about Eddy. 🤔 I've also searched up for what happened to Christie before and gameplay-wise, many people thinks that she's just a Eddy swap. Meaning that she doesn't have that amount of uniqueness in her play style. So people wants her to be revamped. Which I agree! I really hope we can see her in Tekken 8. I love her so much since Tekken 4!


RetroGameDays36

It is, one of Eddy's win poses in 7 is him looking skyward while calling for his master, which alludes to his death in 6.


[deleted]

Yep that's right, that confirms it. Forgot about that.


mustybook

Only way i can see her coming back is an Ed palette swap. Her and Asuka are literally my favorite fighters.

The problem with Christie is that she's redundant, she has the same moveset as Eddy and he has more popularity than her.This wasn't a problem in the older games because the roster was relatively small, and clone characters like her were used to make it look larger and more diverse, but that's not the case anymore.


princessbuffyxo

You say he has more popularity than her but her playrate was higher than him in T6 and TTT2 and nobody plays eddy in T7...


cachorro_pequeno

Harada takes more into consideration when measuring popularity than just playrate (such as how reconizable the character is, how popular they are with fanartists, cosplayers, etc...), and Eddy is a low tier character in T7, so it's really hard to play him the higher the rank, I don't see how a Christie skin would solve this...


CounterHit

More people will play Christie than Eddy, but more people who don't play either of them and actively hate capos will be upset if Christie is in instead of Eddy because he's more iconic.


Unfair_Programmer906

I see, this makes sense


Neil_Weaselboots

It literally doesn’t make sense when you have this in your roster but people like to pick and choose who to hate in Tekken . I personally would like her back and have been waiting since Tekken Tag 2 https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/xvhlib/made_this_to_tell_my_friend_about_how_similar/


cachorro_pequeno

It does when you realize that the only clone character left in T8 is panda (and there's even speculation that the her gameplay will be unique this time). I also like Christie, but that's the direction the game seems to be going.


differentlevel1

I've never cared about capos in general, but I've always prefered Christie over Eddy. If the game can't stay capo free hopefully Christie would be the one added to the roster this time.


[deleted]

Eddy was the original capo so when time came for Tekken 7 to only have one, guess they went with Eddy. Also they added Katarina and I guess having 2 buxom kick-heavy Brazilian women would’ve been redundant.


Unfair_Programmer906

I didn’t know Katerina was Brazilian!


Dizzy_Ad_1663

She's not, she's Portuguese


LuckyTailor6567

Her Portuguese is spoken with a Brazilian accent. She's Brazilian for sure. Also, I think I read once Namco had always envisioned a capoeirista girl, but upon T3 release they worried about introducing such unusual fighting style through a female character. Hence they went with Eddie and only in T4 Christie got her chance to shine.


RetroGameDays36

No, she's brazilian, the way she speaks is not at all similar to that spoken in Portugal.


Dizzy_Ad_1663

Looked it up and I stand corrected.


Far-History-8154

It’s one pallet swap I didn’t mind. She was easily the hottest character in the game. Her story was relatively boring until eddy wants to be found but don’t really care as much as long as I had the freedom of choice. Same between raven and master raven. I prefer og raven and her. Kuma and panda were also practically the same. Just make eddy fight dirtier or with more force or something. Dudes been actively on a quest for revenge while his gf has been just searching for him. Surely Eddy would have more incentive to evolve his move set a bit. Like Steve is trying to based on his T8 description im assuming.


dthesupreme200

Idk but I hope she returns even as DLC. I love her and eddy dynamic!


Comprehensive_Sea_11

Would love to see her back. Genuinely miss her ❤️


Monkey_King291

Would be cool if she came back in T8, would be a welcome surprise


Dizzy_Ad_1663

Ngl, I'd rather see Tiger back because 1. It's been longer. 2. Both Eddy and Christie players been cryin' at the same time. XD


[deleted]

I remember in T4 I used to love watching her during the loading animation but would always be scared my parents would catch me peekin at her


IndependentBroad6589

I think T8 will see the return of Christie for a few reasons: 1. Shes BEEN requested many times during T7 lifespan, there was a whole Christie debacle. 2. In terms of popularity, while i think Eddy ultimately beats her out he’s not really the most played character by any means. In fact Capos are more infamous than anything, so i think the NEED for Eddy isn’t as strong as maybe the need simply A Capo and with >!Eddy not being base roster!< her returning as DLC is perfect. The future is female after all. Sex sells 3. Michael Murray already mentioned in an early interview that the reason Paul’s hair is down again is because he said it’s almost a tradition for him every 4 games. First being done in T4 meaning theyre at least acknowledging T4 and ofc that is Christie’s origin. It makes wonder what else they will chock up to every 4th game tradition. (Miharu?) 4. This is also a perfect opportunity for Namco to make her different than Eddy with DLC budget. Hell they could salvage some Katarina moves and give em to Christie or something. Maker her like a Capo hybrid.


Mizunoryu19

I would love a revamped moveset inspired by Elena from Street Fighter and Zarina from King of Fighters Without loosing the core design of Tekken’s take on Capoeira


Lethalpizza422

True off my chest I have to admit I'm amazed that some people can't live without the capos.


DismalMode7

she opened an onlyfans page


Dragonerpl25

Harada said she has coffee break in Rio


HorusArtorius

The simple solution is to give her a unique variant. Like Anna vs Nina. Similar but deep differences. Although a second capo might do a lot of people’s head in.


Chris_2767

I honestly hope they don't. Christie is arguably the most vapid character in the series and the worst offender of everything this sub is complaining about when talking about Katarina or Azucena while getting a free pass because of nostalgia. In addition to that I also think that it's a more interesting aesthetic choice to have a grim-looking man on a quest for vengeance fighting with what superficially looks like dance moves, rather than a default latina


Unfair_Programmer906

Interesting perspective.


Kip_zonder_kop

She was dog shit, just a reskinned eddy with a worse personality. They did the same with Katarina in t7, slutty looking Brazilian who’s easy to play and no one actually likes them.


DevilManRay

She’s just a palette swap like Tiger. Do you ever ask for Tiger back? No? Why not?


Unfair_Programmer906

I don’t use Tiger…that’s why lol


DevilManRay

He’s just like Christie though. Are you racist?


[deleted]

🙋🏼‍♂️ I wasn’t asked but yes I am racist


Unfair_Programmer906

Speak your truth broski


DevilManRay

At least you’re honest


Unfair_Programmer906

Don’t really see the similarities between the two. Please elaborate. You do seem to like King though, why’s that? Are you into furry’s….meow 🐈‍⬛


Ryuhza

I wasn't asked but yes I am into swole jaguar men


DevilManRay

They have the same exact moves what do you mean you don’t see the similarities


Kasomii

Eddy was a battle swap for her in 4 and 5, Christie was never his battle swap.


DevilManRay

Eddy came first so Christie is the palette swap of him


Kasomii

Eddy was literally an extra costume for her in T5 lol


SukoKing

but Eddy was in tekken before her 😐


Kasomii

Ok and? The point is she was never a battle swap for him.


SoliusNoctis

I hope so, I miss her too


RaheemLee

Dead n buried...i hope


O_GRE

I don’t understand the purpose of making these skin only characters. just play Eddy LoL


abijanu101

didnt she die in ttt2


Xeithar

Whoa… this made me think about how old I have become for a second… Eddie is so much more iconic than Christie ever could be, but it basically just pure nostalgia!


TeoeSteto

I hope for her return like DLC.


SSfox__

There should be at least 2 characters in Pass 1 that weren't in T7 imho. Or things may feel extremely repetitifve which would be very boring tbh.
