Twitch star Timthetatman finally won a game of Fall Guys – The Verge

Its not that tough to win– that becomes part of the appeal. However it does need a bit of all the best and some stern and determined focus. Yet for TimTheTatMan, getting the sought after dub was no simple feat. Time and again, he would fall victim to an ill-timed dive or one of the video games signature minutes of utter, unmanageable randomness that sends you, and not the individual beside you, flying off the map or squirming in the air as you land in a pool of pink slime.

In the 2 weeks since its release, Fall Guys has become a global feeling, routinely holding a leading spot on Twitch and bring in gamers all over to its slapstick game show-inspired antics, reasonably smooth problem curve, and well-rounded cartoony and pastel visual.

Timothy “TimTheTatMan” Betar, a banner best known for playing popular fight royale games and his tight friendships with other well-known names in the Fornite and nearby communities, has actually been having a hard time to claim a crown given that the release of UK developer Mediatonics Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout on August 4th.

Eventually, it looked like other forces were at play. Some entrants looked to be honestly griefing Tim by enjoying his stream and trying to contend in his lobby, where he would get grabbed and shoved until eliminated. In one viral clip, he can be seen falling right through the flooring, the victim of an obvious rare glitch.

Versus all odds, Tim dominated, winning a last round of the mini-game Hex-A-Gone to declare his first crown. Within minutes, the hashtags #hedidit and #iwashere started trending, and congrats from some of gamings most significant names gathered quick.

However on Wednesday, Tim claimed success– and did so with near 340,000 live viewers on Twitch.

Something we frantically needed this year was @timthetatman trying/failing to get his first crown in @FallGuysGame Millions of people bonding and laughing over something so goofy/silly. We will recall and remember this being one good thing that took place in 2020– Ninja (@Ninja) August 19, 2020

In one viral clip, he can be seen falling right through the floor, the victim of an evident uncommon glitch.

Its the feel-good video game of the summer season, made even more satisfying by how simple it is to become engrossed by its basic obstacle: be the last jellybean-shaped avatar left standing apart of a group of 60. It integrates all the competitive appeal of Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone with the ease of access and kid-friendly ambiance of a Nintendo classic like Mario Party.

While the world twists in the clutches of an apparently continuous wave of chaos, one Twitch banners heartfelt battle to win a game of the new battle royale feeling Fall People is a story we can all happily rally around.

Its not that hard to win– thats part of the appeal. Time and again, he would fall victim to an ill-timed dive or one of the games signature moments of utter, unmanageable randomness that sends you, and not the person next to you, flying off the map or squirming in the air as you land in a swimming pool of pink slime.

His countless failed attempts and increasingly comical aggravation morphed into a meme, with the official Fall Guys Twitter account goading and trolling him for his failures and fellow streamers poking fun.
