It wouldn't work; Tekken doesn't support throwable items, which are an essential part of any legitimate Waffle House fight.

Damn, you're so right you changed my answer

So what you're saying is that Waffle House needs to be a Super Smash Bros stage?

Delphia@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y

You pick your character and then you have to pick two other characters to hold yours back for a few seconds while everyone shouts abuse before the fight actually starts.

Also there’s only one line in a Waffle House

Not in the back there isn't

That would be fun actually. But only if there was a horrible world ending storm outside. Cuz that's what they're known for staying open in.

Yeah, you'd need to be able to see Fallen Destiny in the background.

This is the first I’m hearing of it, but I think it’s a fantastic idea.

They should call it the "Waffle Hovel" to skirt copyright.

Delphia@lemmy.world · 39 pts · 2y

Nah, ask them if they can use it for free. If the WH people have half a brain they would licence the logo to them because atleast once a day someone somewhere would be playing Tekken and go "I could really go some hashbrowns"

Le waffel haus.

as someone whose job takes him on the roads late into the night there is always Waffle House open

have not played Tekken in a hot minute but having Waffle House as a stage would definitely persuade me to start playing it again

It would be the most realistic fighting stage.

You don't understand, we don't want one, we NEED a Waffle House stage in Tekken 8, it's as simple as that

Seriously thought this was going to be theonion.

Subscribing to both coms is like a Russian roulette.

World star hip hop is why

Because it’s something all Americans can agree on

Only Americans will understand this joke.

I'm from Finland and I got the joke. I was like "Ooooh, it's like that hot dog stand in Helsinki".

(Drunkards punching each other all night. World famous. 'Cause it inspired a footnote in some Discworld novel, I think.)
