Tekken boss asked KFC to let Colonel Sanders join the game's roster

If you've always thought Tekken's roster was lacking something but couldn't put your finger (lickin') on it, Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada knows - it's Colonel Sanders.

Despite his best efforts, however, Harada hasn't been able to convince KFC to give the all-clear to include Sanders as a fighter - or, indeed, fashion a Waffle House-inspired fighting stage.

"A long time ago, I wanted to have Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken fight," Harada said in an interview with The Gamer. "So, I asked to use Colonel Sanders and go to the head office in Japan."

Harada says his suggestion was turned down by a "bad look".

Wow, how wrong did they get it?? The first time I saw a fighting colonel Sanders I was disgusted with how absolutely awesome I thought it was. Would have been such a huge deal. Brands would be getting in line to get their mascot in the next game.

Just look at it 😭 why is it so good!?!?
