I now have a good reason to buy the game for PC for training purposes. I'm not planning on buying the PS4 or the XBOX ONE however. My buddy plays Eddy but didn't care about T7 up until the moment Eddy was announced. Beforehand I was pushing through twitter for him to ask for Eddy or any capoeira character to return (now, Namco, just don't also bring Christie 'cause there's no need for her imo.) If the both of us have T7 on PC, I can train online with him in practice mode. He has a good non-mashing Eddy he can teach me and I can learn the match-up to see how I can deal against other Eddys. Currently, my friend and I couldn't train online with TTT2 due to the fact that we have two different systems (XBOX 360 / PS3.)
So I'm ok with things here with the character returning in the game.
