5. Kofi Kingston Eddy Gordo
Both Kofi Kingston and MVP have stated in interviews that they have been influenced by Eddy Gordo from the Tekken series, but it is Kofi Kingston who probably has the most in common with Tekken's Brazilian Capoeira artist. Similarities between the two lie in their laid back style, as well as the obvious visual comparisons of both having dread locks and wearing colourful outfits and of course the high flying, athleticism. Kingston has said that "it's characters like that that I like to take from because of how they stand out." You can certainly see the influence of Gordo on Kingston, from his spinning kick finishing move the Trouble In Paradise to his signature move the SOS. Both Kingston and Gordo seem to be overlooked somewhat in both their worlds.: Kingston is an incredible high flyer but is constantly stuck in a mid card loop, while fighting game fans ignore just how cool Gordo because of how easy it is to win with him.
