While playing Fortnite with Drake, Juju Smith-Schuster and Travis Scott and appearing on national news networks have played a role in the immense rise in popularity of Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, one of the main factors of Ninja's success is his talent for the battle royale game from Epic Games. With an average of over 100,000 viewers per stream, the highly skilled streamer gives his fans countless displays of jaw dropping Fortnite gameplay. With so many highlight plays of Ninja's floating around the likes of social media, it can be diifficult to pick out only a select few of the Luminosity Gaming sponsored streamers top plays to showcase. We decided to take a look at our favorite five plays of the talented player from the top 50 Fortnite moments of Ninja video compiled by the YouTube Channel Top Fortnite Battle Royale Clips.
The first favorite play of ours comes at the 13:58 minute mark, where Ninja was faced with one last enemy before he could claim the victory royale. Equipping an impulse grenade, Ninja launches himself straight at his opponent and lands a direct hit with his tactical shotgun. While the enemy players has no idea where Ninja is attacking him from, the streamer decided to have a little fun with his last enemy and throws out the slick Flippin" Sexy emote. Holding his pose perfectly, Ninja allows his enemy to fire off a couple of shots before finally ending the match with another shotgun blast. You will be hard pressed to find a smoother kill than this one.
Our next top play begins at the 15:19 mark of the video and starts off with the streamer taking fire from an opponent's RPG. Utilizing a launch pad, Ninja is able to get into the air and glide behind his enemy. Throwing an impulse grenade at the last enemy, Ninja sent the opposing player flying into the storm. Despite two valiant efforts from the strom damaged player, two more impulse grenade blasts sent them back into the storm and resulted in their elimination to the joy of Ninja, as he added another cruel impulse grenade highlight to his library of top plays.
Heading to the 15:42 mark of the highlight tape video, we find ourselves witnessing Ninja utilziing some engineering skills to capture one of his many victories. Scaling down a cliffside onto a firing enemy below, Ninja begins to execute his master plan by trapping his opponent inside of a wooden cube. As the seemingly novice player began their escape plan by firing at the wooden walls, the deadly builder edited a wall by adding a door in order to place an electrical trap inside of his wooden prison. With the door edited away, there was no escape path for the doomed player as they are fried to a crisp by the trap. Losing a match like this had to have been a very hard pillow to swallow for Ninja's foe.
With so many examples of how good Ninja really is at Fortnite, it would only make sense that a skin inspired by the streamer would help you play better. Right? (Source: Jesperish)
Coming in at the 16:16 mark, a world record finish by Ninja and NRG Fortnite streamer KingRichard is something that can not be ignored. Chasing the world record for most kills as a duo, the two popular streamers only needed four more kills between the two of them to secure the record. Seeing the achievement right in front of them, Ninja began his assualt on the last four remaining enemies. Wiping them all out with deadly accuracy from his pump shotgun and Scar assualt rifle, the Luminosity Gaming sponsored streamer collects the necesaary kills to end the match with 21 eliminations. Combining his total with KingRichard's 15 eliminations, Ninja was able to secure the world record performance for the talented streamer duo.
Finally, our final favorite play comes in at the 4:34 mark. Once again finding himself in a one versus one situation to claim the victory royale, the Fortnite streamer decided to show off his talent with the impulse grenade to grab the final kill. With the throw and blast of one grenade sending his opponent straight into the air, Ninja channels his inner clay target shooter and finishes off his enemy with a single shot from his Desert Eagle. While Ninja was extremely excited about pulling off the impressive play, we here at Twin Galaxies would have most likely fainted if we were able to accomplish something of that nature.
It is safe to say that the legend of Ninja only continues to grow with every stream, as he continues to add highlight plays like these to his collection by the dozens. Now please excuse me, as I need to stop writing this article and go practice my impulse grenade throwing.
