Meccha Chameleon is the hide-and-seek party game out of Japan that just exploded worldwide: hiders disguise as objects while a seeker hunts them. But in this clip — shared by Japanese creator Sekai Ojisan — the hider does the exact opposite of hiding: he juke-dances around the 'stop man' seeker with pinpoint emote-cancels, and Japanese fans lost it. The most-liked comment simply declares that the entire point of the game has changed. From there the thread crowns a whole new archetype ('there are chameleon players, hide-and-seek players… and now: the dodge faction'), marvels at how the player shrinks his hitbox with emotes ('so crafty'), and notes that Chinese players in particular tend to run circles rather than hide. It's the affectionate, in-the-know laughter of a fanbase watching someone break their favorite game in the funniest possible way — right down to the exasperated question every player ends up asking about who gave the chameleon dodge skills in the first place.
