As previously reported, Eliza will be returning to Tekken 7 as a DLC character. She first appeared as a fan-voted character in Tekken Revolution, where Eliza had some unique mechanics tied to her sleep and blood-sucking abilities.
When she makes her Tekken 7 appearance, it seems that Eliza will be bringing with her yet another new mechanic: meter management. In a recent tweet, Avoiding the Puddle’s Flying Wonkey shared a screenshot of Eliza and pointed out that she now came with a 2 meter.

Now meter isn’t something that’s completely new to Tekken 7. However, prior to this, only Street Fighter guest character Akuma had meter, reflecting his roots in that series. Eliza thus represents the first homegrown Tekken character to have a meter.
How exactly Eliza will use this meter–whether it’ll be just like Akuma’s, or if it’ll be tied to her blood-drinking mechanic, is as of yet unknown. We’re bound to learn more about this as more information is dropped in the coming months.
