To my knowledge of Eagle, he was a British SAS agent who fought with a pair of Cyclone sticks (aka escrima, arnis, etc. sticks). Originally, people said that Eagle fought with a pair of crowbars, then nightsticks, then tonfas, then billy clubs. It's official that Eagle fights with weapons, what he calls, "Cyclone Sticks."
I am guessing his fighting style will be a cross between Rolento and Mr. Big, both who are also stick fighters. Rolento, however, fights more like his club is a staff rather than a baton.
I am kind of upset, that it is rare that you see fighters with escrima sticks are not Filipino, considering that is where stick fighting came from and that is my nationality. Usually, the sticks fighter is white or black. It would be interesting if Capcom or SNK would create characters of other Asian/Pacific Islander background rather than always use Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. The only other Asians that were put in games were Mogolians and Indians (Hindu). I have experience with stick fighting and the attacks flow better going in one movement, it would be cool to put flowing combonations of a stick fighter. With characters like Eagle, Mr. Big, and Rolento, they use their stick fighting more of a hard edge, basically swing your stick like an idiot.
