Bust a Move Before the Boogie Down: A Totally Serious Guide to Fortnite Lobby Dancing
So you've just dropped into Fortnite, a veritable titan of the island (at least until you get sniped from across the map by a ten-year-old with laser reflexes). But before you go all John Wick and dominate the battlefield, there's a crucial pre-game ritual you simply must master: the lobby dance.
Now, this might seem frivolous to the hardened veterans out there, but a well-timed jig can strike fear into the hearts of your opponents (or at least make them question your sanity). Here's how to become a lobby dance legend:
Step 1: Unleashing Your Inner Dancer (Without Actually Having One)
- Platform Preamble: First things first, how are you gracing the Fortnite world with your presence? For PC masters, the key to unleashing your inner boogie monster is the B button. Console cowboys, fret not! The almighty down D-pad is your weapon of choice. There's even a fancy chat command: /dance (because who needs buttons when you can be all Shakespearean in chat, eh?).
Pro-Tip: If you're feeling fancy, some controllers allow you to map the emote button wherever your heart desires (or wherever your thumbs can most comfortably reach).
Step 2: The Emote Wheel of Destiny (cue dramatic music)
- Behold! A dazzling array of sometimes questionable dance moves awaits. From the classic Floss to the undeniably strange Banana Peely, there's a emote for every mood (or lack thereof). Spend some quality time getting familiar with this glorious wheel. You never know when the urge to floss furiously might strike.
Subheading: The Art of the Personalized Emote
Think of your emote wheel like a carefully curated playlist. Does victory royale call for the Take the L? Perhaps a Fresh emote is more your post-win style. The possibilities are endless, and the right emote can speak volumes (or at least make your opponent roll their eyes).
Step 3: Dance Like Nobody's Watching (Except Everyone in the Lobby)
- Hit the Deck (or Don't): Now that you've chosen your weapon (emote, that is), unleash it with reckless abandon! Shake it like a polaroid picture, boogie down, or clap your hands – the choice is yours. Just remember, there's a fine line between confidence and looking like you forgot how to use your legs.
Subheading: Advanced Maneuvers
For the truly adventurous dancer, consider incorporating some squad emotes. Imagine the coordinated chaos of a synchronized Orange Justice. Or, mirror your teammate's moves – because what's more terrifying than an army of dancing bananas in perfect unison?
Remember, the Fortnite lobby dance is all about expressing yourself (or at least confusing your opponents). So get out there, boogie down, and become a legend...or at least provide some pre-game entertainment!
