I just want to share my thoughts on Katsuhiro Harada entertaining the possible idea of a Waffle House-themed stage in Tekken 8. The thought of such a unique setting brings a lot of creative possibilities to the game. Imagining the stage, it’s intriguing to consider what kind of unique mechanics could be integrated. For instance, the idea of an employee intervening in the match by throwing objects at the fighters adds a funny and unpredictable element that could significantly impact gameplay. Beyond this, environmental hazards like slippery floors or interactive elements like chairs and tables could offer new strategic dimensions to the battles. It opens up discussions on how the atmosphere of a late-night diner, known for its 24/7 service and vibrant customer interactions, could influence the fighting styles and tactics within the game. This I would hope not only adds a layer of realism and relatability to the game but also pays homage to an American cultural stable in a playful way.
