Pokimane reacts to streamer\u2019s awkward recreation of her Fortnite dance Pokimane, Jack_HippoTV – TwitchTwitch star Imane \u201cPokimane\u201d Anys revealed her very own Fortnite emote in January as part of the game\u2019s \u201cIcon\u201d series \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t look like the dance emote is staying inside the game. The streamer\u2019s unique emote kicked off an accompanying TikTok contest, which gives players the chance to have their very own dances become part of the game too. Considering Pokimane\u2019s popularity among Fortnite players, it comes as little surprise that her emote went viral, prompting a few hilarious interactions with the broadcaster in-game. can’t believe i’m saying this, but i officially have my own @fortnitegame Emote! \ud83e\udd2f\ud83e\udd73 it’s available at 4PM PT tomorrow if you’d like to get it! #EpicPartner P.S \u2013 you can also enter to have your own in-game emote by submitting a dance via @tiktok_us with #EmoteRoyalecontest \ud83d\ude01 pic.twitter.com\/HItsUD3B7x \u2014 pokimane (@pokimanelol) January 18, 2020 In fact, Anys uploaded a YouTube video on January 23 that revealed the exact scope of the dance\u2019s popularity, being amazed at how often she encountered it while playing. One fan even built a heart after noticing Pokimane was in their game and performed the emote on a small platform, much to her surprise. However, it was a fellow streamer who ended up sending her into stitches, after the two linked up in a Duo fill. Fortnite player and broadcaster \u201cJack_HippoTV\u201d claimed that he was trying to recreate the dance with little success, and asked Pokimane for help in pulling off the moves during their game. This prompted Poki to wonder if he was performing the emote on his channel, which she quickly looked up for proof. Rather than standing up from his chair, Jack Hippo instead decided to stay seated, merely throwing up a few rhythmic peace signs while giving a knowing look to the camera. (Timestamp: 8:15 for mobile viewers) \u201cBetter than nothing!\u201d Anys laughed. \u201cWas that good?\u201d Hippo asked. \u201cYeah, that was pretty good!\u201d Jack_Hippo isn\u2019t the only streamer recreating Poki\u2019s viral dance emote, either: popular streamer Greekgodx likewise tried to pull off the choreography, which drew hysterical laughter from its creator for his efforts. Even Twitch commentator Hasan Piker tried his hand at the TikTok dance, begging the question: how many streamers will end up recreating Pokimane\u2019s \u201cpositively enthusiastic\u201d Fortnite moves? Any\u2019s emote follows the release of Tyler \u201cNinja\u201d Blevins\u2019 very own skin for the battle royale, also part of the \u201cIcon\u201d series \u2014 which could see collaboration with more content creators in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
