Re: Why did you pick your username?
Indeed he did:
So he's called "Henchman 80X" in the game, but in the intro video he's called "Hunchman". Put them together (en français) and you've got "Hunchman 801"

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Hmmm that's interesting origins for Hunch's username. I wonder now if he played Rayman M in the past?
Re: Why did you pick your username?
That's so stupid hahaha. The numbers incrementing like this. It's so ridiculous because it's clearly an oversight.

The 90s equivalent of unchecked LLM output being included in official publications, I guess 
Re: Why did you pick your username?
I did not even know Hunch's lore of his name until now, wow.

KisaHD's Origins:
"It was somewhere around 2016-2017. My first NORMAL phone was Samsung Galaxy A3 at the time. And watching all the YouTubers I knew back in the day I decided to become one - to become popular! And then I gave myself this nickname - KisaHD. Kisa - cat in Russian and HD stands for high quality. I like when the resolution of the videos is HD, it's smooth~"
BoxxyStripes' Origins"
"This nickname was born recently - a year ago. It was close to New Year and I wanted to sign up to the site with game files, such as textures and music and such stuff like that. That's how I got my 2nd nickname - Boxxy Stripes. Boxxy - Raybox, Stripes - tiger stripes. Easy!"
—=≡☆≡=—
I had many nicknames but they were quite temporary. As for Raybox, well, I'd say it's the RP nickname hehe
I can be called that anytime, no worries!

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Rayperson = what I thought Rayman's species was called
Nikol = character from Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed
I like the idea of Rayman and Nikol being best friends. Not to the level of Rayman and Globox's best friendship, but to a really good friends type of thing?
Not only that, I also was thinking of Nikol being Rayman's species at the time and thought it was cute.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Apparently, how i picked the username "Gottagocool11" was hard to remember since time flew fast but i'll try to remember it
:
When creating an account on another website, i thought of the phrase "Gotta go fast" but i think it was kinda boring and then swapped "fast" with "cool" and well, i think i'm okay with it.
Another inspiration for the username was when i watched a scene from a 2020 cartoon where a character utters the line alone while trying to act cool whenever she sees her.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Nancy78 = oc's name + two last numbers from 1978 year
Nancy is my first oc that I've ever created so I thought that it would be fun to use her name for a nickname here on this forum since I started my journey with creating ocs from Rayman games, the third one specifically. My 10 years old self didn't need a lot of motivation to created a cute doggo oc just because she liked André too much
I just needed that moment of realization that hey, I can created a character, put her in the game and have fun - that's also how I began writing and how it became my main hobby. ...André did something good for once, omg XD
Now for the numbers it's more of a nostalgia and attachment. 1978 is the year when Keith Moon died and since he's my favorite drummer and musician I tend to use the numbers from the year he was born (1946) or the year he died (1978). I have a very bad memory for numbers so I'm using the ones I can remember and that won't have any connection to the birthdays of my parents or my own. It's a neat little trick for passwords :3

Re: Why did you pick your username?
My name is pretty much a pun on how the sound trains make is written (Choo-Choo).
However, as ironic as it may sound, it didn't originate from this.
IIRC, my name originated from an Xbox nametag i had, it was like "Chocholate something something Mayhem_[Numbers, probably my birth year].
When i joined the Rayman Arena Discord server, i simply shortened that nametag an added an extra o at the end, because, if i have to be honest, i wasn't really original creating usernames, and it was convenient at the time.
Also, I'm pretty sure "Chocholate" came from me thinking "i like chocolate and trains, Chocolate + Choo-choo = Chocholate" (which is also ironic since i have never been in a train before
), so the pun still can be applied.

I'm definitely not very original when it comes to creating names, Steo is just basically my name.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
What most people probably don't know is that "humch" and its variants were coined by Matyuv to annoy me but I ended up using them as alternative names anyway.
Re: Why did you pick your username?
Game Ze is actually a direct translation of the Chinese username I used when I was a child, and there is indeed a Game Ze in the community that doesn't have 2 (I forgot my password, so I have 2).
