They’ll have all sorts of fun, quirky strategies or personal stories tied to these bosses, and you’ll end up with a wealth of choices that could make or break Shovel Knight's path. It's like real-time crowdsourcing from fans who’ve been there and done that.

Once your Power Poll is live, your viewers can drop their votes and watch the results as they roll in real-time. Forget about the old polls that disappear after the show; this one keeps everyone glued to the screen. And yeah, watching the answers pile up in favor of one choice will get the chat hyped up, ready to see if the chaos they voted for actually ensues.

This gets viewers involved in a whole new way, giving them a chill hangout spot to share vibes of the game.
