Tekken director asks why Americans want Waffle House to be a stage in Tekken 8

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.

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

Boy, that looks worse than I thought it would.

Let us not forget that Cobra Kai game.

At least that was a game. This is just Time Square ad push on top of an existing game.
