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

[–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

Damn, you're so right you changed my answer

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not in the back there isn't

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

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

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 39 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Tebbie@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

It would be the most realistic fighting stage.

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Seriously thought this was going to be theonion.

Subscribing to both coms is like a Russian roulette.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

World star hip hop is why

[–] Splatterphace@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

holy shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Because it’s something all Americans can agree on

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only Americans will understand this joke.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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.)
