Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a place where unreserved schadenfreude and pure trolling have a spot. This was something a troll had to learn when he faced off against the notorious Twitch streamer xQc.
Who is it about? Félix “xQc” Lengyel is a successful and notorious Twitch streamer, known especially for his fiery temperament and outbursts.
Thus, he does not handle willful interruptions of his streams well, and stream snipers, that is, guys who watch him and then intentionally impede him live in-game, are not something he tolerates.
Nevertheless, a player in Fall Guys, the colorful and zany battle royale, tried this and regularly hindered xQc in the game – to the point that xQc himself labeled him a sniper. He specifically targeted xQc’s avatar whenever he could identify him, deliberately blocking him to ruin his chances of victory.
Streamer xQc turns the tables
This is how the streamer got his revenge: When xQc realized that the guy who was constantly hindering him was likely a stream sniper, he made it his life’s mission to troll him back. He simply turned the tables.
Instead of allowing himself to be hindered by the guy as before, he lay in wait for him at the finish line and simply held him back. The two little potato men grappled fiercely over who could run further. xQc maneuvered the opponent around so much that the unfortunate stream sniper bounced off awkwardly and fell into the slime like a helpless potato, thus out of the game.
“You damn well deserved that,” he shouted after the just-eliminated opponent as he sank hopelessly into the slime.
This is how xQc celebrated his victory: The entire scene was just retribution for the nasty stream sniping of the opponent, and xQc celebrated it in his characteristically fiery manner with an outburst of emotions and foul words: “You deserved that! F*ck you! I absolutely wrecked you!”
The moral of the story: Don’t mess with guys like xQc, because they won’t put up with that for long. However, a certain amount of trolling and schadenfreude is part of the game principle in Fall Guys, and if everyone just wobbles to the finish line, a round of Fall Guys isn’t nearly as much fun as when everyone is trying their best to put their competitors in unfavorable situations. Watching others fail is a great thrill in Fall Guys.
