It’s a brand new week, meaning there is a recent collab in Fortnite. Every week after South Park continued the 6-7 meme, the live-service battle royale is sticking with animation with Adventure Time, one other beloved — albeit for various reasons — show that has been a longtime fan request.
There’s Fionna the Human, Ice King and Lemongrab, plus a wealth of other additions, including an emote based on Cake the Cat titled “Cake’s Narrative Flapjacks.”
It costs 300 V-Bucks, has your character making a flapjack and jumping within the air with glee.
No big deal, right? Well, no. That is since the emote has seemingly returned “jiggle” physics into the sport for its female characters, definitely inadvertently.
Over on Reddit, where the invention was first shared, players noted that it almost definitely the results of an animation mess up that then gives the perception that “jiggle” physics are literally in the sport.
They’re obviously not in-game.
But until that bit is fixed, then that is the result:
“It is not actually jiggle physics,” someone wrote on Reddit. “The animation is just tousled, and it looks like a bone within the chest may need a double transform on it. Meaning that it’s moving 2x the space it should. And that bone controls the midriff as much as mid-chest.”
TheGamer independently tested the emote and may confirm its unintended consequences.
Fortnite Has Had To Deal With “Jiggle” Physics And Other NSFW Things Before
Being that Fortnite is a game primarily played by children and in addition involves IPs that usually have strict usage guidelines, Epic Games typically handles such matters quickly.
Gamers might recall early last September that Fortnite removed the power to mix certain emotes to create a lewd combination. Because of this, players could not use an emote when one other player has activated Party Hips or Poki emotes. Those that tried after the fix were met with nothingness.
Way before that, in 2018, was the primary instance of “jiggle” physics in Fortnite, which was the results of a certain skin, plus emote, combination. Not only was that patched out, but Epic Games issued an announcement through which it called the situation “embarrassing.”
“That is unintended, embarrassing, and it was careless for us to let this ship,” an Epic representative told IGN on the time. “We’re working now to repair this as soon as possible.”
We’ll update this story if things change this go around.
