Recently, Harada has been getting one request for a new Tekken stage: The American Southeast's 24 hour a day, seven day a week diner Waffle House.
"Ok, I will only ask once about this request. Why do some communities send me requests for 'Waffle House'? Please be sure to explain the basis for the request, including the original story, history and background. I look forward to an explanation from someone who knows more," asked Harada on Twitter/X.
Why do people want Waffle House, Mr. Harada? Because the place has become something of an internet meme for its status as somewhere that's pretty dang cheap, open 24 hours a day and—therefore—a place where drunk and high people get into fights. Fights with each other. With employees. With themselves.
Tekken's fierce old man, Heihachi Mishima, is back with a vengeance in Tekken 8. However, his return seems to be a forced move, which breaks the story beats established in Tekken 7.
When did Tekken ever make any sense? That's why we love it. Come on now. Mokujin? Roger? Kuma? Panda? Gon? Alex? Jack? Demon characters? Death, life, death and life again? Azazel?
Heihachi coming back ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Was probably hanging out at the ghost bar with Bison having drinks. Seems they must have run up a tab and need to make some tournament money to pay it off. Because they're both coming back to their respective games.
exactly, fighting games for me don't require a story or explanation why a certain character is in the game. If they manage to make a cool story, it's just a bonuns but there's no way that should prevent fan favs from rejoining
It is anogher example that proves that company have no balls to actually end people or stories
Fr, like if Nintendo killed off Link and you played the next legend of Zelda game as someone else. That would take balls and would definitely make the game better.
That would require breaking the cycle of reincarnation, though.
Not sure how they'd pull that off. Link, Zelda, and Demise are tied together by fate, across lifetimes.
Bunch of tekken characters have died (from what we know) and even if they are dead in the lore u can still bring them as playable characters.
It's Tekken. The story never made sense. What we can rely on is that every character that gets thrown off a cliff or into a volcano never actually dies.
Update 1.06 for Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken 8 will add a Photo mode to the game, though it won't come with any balance changes.
Bandai Namco has confirmed that Tekken 8 next update 1.06 won't include balance changes, but bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
Realism. If you are at a Waffle House at 2am on a Saturday night you are likely to encounter a real world Tekken match.
Japanese people don't really understand western online humor, and neither do I for that matter
Why not? Lol
