Two worlds collide as fast food meets fast paced fighting. This is what fans hoped would happen with the teased update in Tekken.

Fans are ecstatic thinking about the possibilities. People are already contemplating on the possible moves and attacks Jollibee could use in a fight.

Some netizens joked that Jollibee’s special moves could include burger blasts and spaghetti webs. Another suggestion was Jollibee using a bucket of chicken joy to crush his opponents.

When Tekken 7 was released, its roster already included one Filipino character. It was a kickboxing female named “Josie Rizal“.

Josie was an expert in “eskrima” a Filipino martial arts. However, it did see some controversy when it was released due to criticisms that it wasn’t Filipino enough.

Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken’s producer revived one of his tweets from May 29, 2014 . He was asked by a fan on Twitter to add Filipino characters in the popular fighting game.

Harada tweeted “Jollibeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I’ll consider”. He then posted photos of a Jollibee plastic take out back in some of the replies to his post along with the hashtags #RevMajor2019.

Rev Major is a tournament of the top fighting games in the world. This year it was held at the Tent Solaire Resorts and Casino.

Tekken has always been known to add special characters to their rosters. Some of the latest additions are characters from different games.

Back in February 2019, Tekken announced to add Negan as a character in their lineup. Negan was the main antagonist in the popular horror survival show “The Walking Dead”.
