Board Thread:King for A(nother) Day Discussion/@comment-29980193-20191001232322/@comment-71.255.116.132-20191002012610

Actually no, I'd say HyperCam won because

1. It had the MOST diverse source list out of any original King for a Day contestant basically being the Thanos or Nico Nico of it's time.

2. It won because of immese nostalgia for HyperCam's area and fan love of the types of things it brought like Windows Movie Maker, edgy music, Brawl and Melee, Motel Mario, classic YouTube Poops and sources, the old unprofessional tutorials and let's plays done by 13-year-olds, Club Penguin, Windows XP, AOL, and all the other programs associated with it, the list goes on and on and on., didn't just bring a certain game or musician's music, it brought an entire ERA back from the dead.

3. It won because it was an endearing character and the only King for a Day contestant who was entirely a good sport/bean and never trashtalked anyone, even IF that may have been because all it's vs. quotes were just old-style YouTube banter and titles. Between it's win quotes and character bio, it was already set up to be a shoe-in.

4. It had an interesting original design no other character had, most likely the only other fighters that came CLOSE to it's level of originality in design was Ajit Pai and maybe the fusion of Will Smiths into one character, or the Dancing Alien Team. It was practically a unique brand new character, and bordered on Original Generation it was definitely the most unique idea for a fighter. A character based on something that previously was only known as a pixelated watermark, like how do you even make that into a character?

So mostly via the powers of it's endearing nature and personality, diverse rips, interesting sources and original design as well as the IMMENSE power of nostalgia, the same reason there's a new Rambo movie, and a new Terminator movie on the horizon, the reason Enter the Florpus came out, why Banjo and Snake got in Smash Bros. and we still have stages barely unchanged from Brawl, Melee and 64, the reason we have so many first-person shooters like Doom, Duke Nukem from the 90s and Counter-Strike and Half-Life from the 00s on Steam, why Funko Pop is so damn profitable, why Christopher Lloyd, and the voice of KITT from Knight Rider came out of retirement for; The Goonies, Gremlins, Knight Rider, LEGO City: Undercover and The A-Team are franchises in; and there's entire levels themed around The Wizard of Oz, Midway arcade games from the early and middle 80s, The Goonies and the first Mission: Impossible ALL in Lego Dimensions! Nostalgia is one of the MOST powerful sources of the modern age, it resurrects franchises, gives out-of-work elders back their old jobs, and unites people, hell they're even working on making a third Bill & Ted movie! Doesn't matter if you get nostalgic over blockbuster films left in the dust or former corporations like Blockbuster with no place in in the era of internet and smartphones or if you get nostalgic over shitty GTA San Andreas videos with 140p quality and obvious usage of mods or overly edgy/violent/both Pivot animations of fighting stick figures with swords or soda cans baring rock music, everyone has something and that something is powerful to them and brings them back to a better age.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk. HyperCam is best camera boi and you leave him alone. >:|
