Spamton
Spamton is a character from Deltarune. He is a merchant who advertises his deals in a manner similar to spammy e-mails. He is also fought as a secret superboss.
Tournament History[edit]
Just a few months after the release of Deltarune Chapter 2, Spamton was nominated into King of /v/ 2021 and became a key figure of Team Merchant. The recency of the release combined with the fact that Deltarune was fucking everywhere on /v/ at the time made Spamton a very hyped up character, entering the tournament as the 3rd seed and becoming the topic of much discussion and OC in the threads. Despite this he just barely won Round 1 by a few votes, going on to beat Neo Cortex and then winning another close match against Albert Wesker. His victory against Wesker was aided by having been long hyped up for a matchup against The Batter; this particular matchup would be one of the most notable of the tournament in part due to the large amount of OC it would generate. In a defining moment in the Merchants vs Schizos battle, the Batter would defeat Spamton, claim his glasses, and go on to win the tournament. Despite his defeat Spamton remained a vocal favorite throughout the tournament.
Spamton would return in King of /v/ 2022, though with a fair amount of his hype and following having dissipated over the year. He still had a good following and kept a high seed. He was able to score one victory, but his run was cut short by having the shit beaten out of him by Battler in Round 2.
In 2023 Spamton would notably fail to live up to past years, as he had no vocal supporters and unceremoniously lost the first round to Peppino. He also became the source of some controversy due to the drawfags making art of him in the tournament magma links refusing to post their OC in the actual threads themselves.
Spamton had a more lively albeit equally short lived run in King of /v/ 2024, where he was immediately pit against Wario in a fierce Merchant vs Merchant battle depicted in a comic in which Spamton engaged his opponent in a Deltarune battle; other thread depictions had Spamton become so delusional that he believed himself to be reliving the schizos vs merchants battle on the side of the schizos. Ultimately losing the match in a blowout, Spamton was forced to concede his wallet to his fellow merchant. After this defeat some have pointed to Spamton as a prime example of a contestant who was extremely hyped and performed well in his debut year only to lose steam and fall off in subsequent years, with "to be a Spamton" becoming synonymous with this phenomenon.
