For nearly two years there’s been a running gag in the Tekken community, with fans begging producer Katsuhiro Harada to put a Waffle House stage in the game. If you’re unsure why that would be a thing, or you aren’t local to one, the Waffle House is where you can go to get a deeply cheap but filling meal at 3am — but it’s also notorious for fights. You can find dozen of low-res TikToks of fights at Waffle House, including the incredible one where a worker parries a chair. Hilariously, it seems like Harada actually took those recommendations to heart, and reached out to Waffle House to try and feature it within Tekken. Waffle House getting added to Tekken sounds like an absolutely ridiculous idea, but having someone like Harada heading the franchise makes it actually feasible.
