The director of Tekken 8, Katsuhiro Harada, shared his thoughts on a Roblox adaptation of Bandai Namco's renowned fighting game, specifically highlighting the incorporation of a Waffle House-themed stage. The Tekken series is famous for its diverse array of characters hailing from various corners of the world, showcasing a rich tapestry of cultures and martial arts disciplines. Among the game's eclectic global stages, featuring locales like Rome, France, Peru, and the United States, a fervently requested addition has been a Waffle House setting.

Enthusiastic Tekken 8 fans have persistently lobbied for a Waffle House stage, inspired by the diner's reputation for attracting lively patrons. This notoriety has been fueled by viral videos depicting altercations between customers and staff within Waffle House premises. While some appeals are made in jest, others genuinely embrace the idea. Despite Harada's initial rejection of the concept, certain fans have taken it upon themselves to bring this vision to life.

A Twitter user under the handle MemzDev uploaded a video showcasing Tekken 8 gameplay mechanics replicated within Roblox. The clip featured Roblox avatars embodying Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, executing one of Kazuya Mishima's signature combos. Accompanying the video was the caption
