** 3ddy [[labelnote:Explanation]]Eddy Gordo, already known for being a SkillGateCharacter, was made even more so in ''8'' by allowing him to go into multiple stances and get combo potential purely off of pressing a single button: LK (Left Kick), colloquially known as "3" among competitive players in Tekken input notation. The Harada quote above quickly gained a new purpose for meme potential, and it eventually got to the point where someone decided to take this to its logical conclusion, by creating a bot that is programmed to play Eddy and only press 3 to see how just how far it could get in Ranked play.

* "Tekken is 3. Read well." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another Harada-related meme, this pertains to a quote he said regarding the rollback netcode implemented into ''Tekken 7'', regarding just how many frames of rollback the game had been set to a fixed amount of in order to maintain stability. It became used sarcastically by the fanbase, especially in cases where connections were so bad that it was impossible for rollback to occur and players still received input delay instead. While these issues were addressed in ''Tekken 8'' to varying extents, the quote gained new relevance in an entirely different context due to the below meme.[[/labelnote]]

* Jin goes to the [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Midnight Channel]]/[[spoiler:Devil Jin: [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona "I am thou, thou art I."]]]][[labelnote:Explanation (Massive Story Spoilers!)]]Jin's confrontation with Devil Jin and eventually accepting him just sounds very similar to most main missions in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', where someone's repressed inner self could go berserk if they reject it, and the only way to grow and develop one's character is to accept their dark sides. Because of this, many compare that part with how ''Tekken'' suddenly takes cues from the ''Persona'' series (and in particular Jin going to [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} the Midnight Channel]] where Shadows of this type lurk), and Devil Jin is likened to be Jin's Shadow-turned-Persona.[[/labelnote]]

* MY TIME IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOW[[labelnote:Explanation]]In a similar vein, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r3KK77vFgc the opening lyric of "My Last Stand"]], already a very well received opening theme to the game, has resonated especially well with the fan base.[[/labelnote]]

* Waffle House Stage [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the shocking amount of fights that break out there, a common request for a stage in the game is a location for the American chain diner Waffle House. [[MemeAcknowledgement Harad himself has heard these claims]], and says that he is more than willing to add such a stage to the game, but it ultimately comes down to Waffle House themselves to approve it.[[/labelnote]]

* Bread Face Reina[[labelnote:Explanation]] Akin to [[Characters/StreetFighterAkuma Akuma]] grabbing a shotgun in the previous game, one of the new customization items in ''8'' is a bread-shaped hat, which was showcased on Reina.
