How did he become one of the most iconic video game characters of all time to the point where people who have never even played Undertale know of him and Megalovania?

Memes, obviously
Camden Foster
He didn't, it's just a bunch of retards that pretend Undertale was more influential than it was. The only reason I know about him is because you guys spam it constantly. It's by no means a household name and I guarantee that the people who know him are at about the same level of understanding as I am and only propagate him through memes like said.
Colton Morales
Undertales a good game, seethe
Eli Baker
undertale's audience is specifically internet shut-ins, don't think it's hard to have him shilled everywhere you look on the internet
Mason Stewart
>depressed character who makes a lot of jokes
>"Dude, he's just like me, frfr."
That's pretty much the appeal, I'd guess.
>"It's not popular because I don't like it."
I'd ask if you want seconds, but you're clearly full of yourself.
Noah Adams
He and Spamton have the same "quirky and funny on the outside, depressed and undergoing an existential crisis on the inside" deal, and it worked with flying colors both times.
Gavin Jenkins
most popular indie game that isn't minecraft
Colton Davis
None of that happened Toby, come back to bed
Jacob Clark
No
Evan Rogers
>Hollow Knight over Undertale
Fake and gay
Easton Gomez
is that in terms of bought units?
A lot of undertale's fanbase have never actually played the game, similar to a lot of zoomie games. They just get obsessed over games and post about it relentlessly online
Carson Ross
>enter the gungeon is the highest roguelite
Of all possible representatives of such a hit or miss genre, one of the worst examples that hits all the marks to be technically acceptable comes out on top?
Jeremiah Harris
Forced by most autistic Homocuck community
Eli Miller
Online fanbases represent a tiny minority of the population, they're just very loud, sales are much more indicative of popularity. For example only 20% of America is on Twitter and 10% of Twitter users create 80% of all the tweets, social media is an echo chamber.
James Wilson
wtf is this based off of sales?
i guarantee there is a huge amount of people who have seen the entire game through lets plays but never actually played it like FNAF
Landon Jackson
i have never heard of long dark or satisfactory in my life but I could ask my mother what a five nights at freddy's is and get a response
Josiah Scott
Without looking at any sales charts, I'm pretty sure Hades would be the #1 spot. Good game that can appeal to both newcomers and experience players plus tons of attention from the media and word of mouth.
Isaac Peterson
your wrong lol
Dead cells is a roguelite you mongrel
Easton Stewart
Undertale videos on YouTube don't have a significantly different amount of views than the rest of those games (barring Minecraft of course which is ridiculously far ahead), and even those are probably inflated by children watching them over and over again like those nursery rhymes videos that get billions of views since Tony's games skew towards that demographic.
Benjamin Morris
Anecdotes are not data, the vast majority of people have never heard about any of these games except Minecraft
James Harris
yeah... right...
youtube.com
Nathan Jackson
Why isn't Papyrus as popular? I feel like he's funnier.
Aaron Sullivan
That's a song, read the rest of my post
Bentley Collins
his battle was super lame compared to sans battle
The entire reason sans is so popular is how hes comedic and doesnt want to fight you, and the only way to fight him is that super cool final boss fight
Joseph Gomez
Because he isn't edgy. Also he isn't the final boss of the based route, which is the main reasons why sans is popular.
Ethan King
Because he doesn't have an edgy fight where he gets serious.
Carson James
see
Nathan Bell
oh no no no no no tobybros.. with a five year lead even....
Bentley Martin
>the final boss of the based route
Jonathan Stewart
youtube, generally
Charles Mitchell
Chara is Imposter from Among Us?? (game theory)
Hunter Ross
That one cribs fame from Steven Universe
Josiah Bell
Same phenomenon as Touhou, secondaries.
Benjamin Ward
>make character using cliche tropes for comic relief pranksters
>but never take anything too far and actually make them likable instead of annoying
>make them also a secret boss fight you have to work hard to even unlock but is a meme fight streamers will kill themselves to beat for views
>as a prank
you gotta appreciate the cunning here.
Liam Wood
You have to admit that Megalovania is a genuinely fantastic theme.
Adam Garcia
Wow, the actual theme has even more views. Almost as much as among us imposter
youtube.com
Parker Cooper
Jayden Fisher
Anyone know what the most viewed video game track is on YT? 89 million views is pretty crazy for one.
Samuel Barnes
this is my favorite videogame music track
youtu.be
Asher Thomas
that's absurd, toddlers really dominate youtube now
Matthew Barnes
Nah meme songs regularly go much higher than that, crab rave has like 200M on just one video
Sebastian Mitchell
I'm talking specifically video game music.
Owen Thomas
>to the point where people who have never even played Undertale know of him and Megalovania?
Are there any other Undertale "fans"?
Joshua Smith
Yes, it's a good game.
John Wood
How do you know?
Jordan Hall
Because I've played it.
Jaxon Taylor
Don't lie on the internet.
Leo Ward
How do you separate people who came because of the game and the people who came because of the meme though
