Spoiler: show
March Bro: Because Marchtinal's user name contains 'March'.
Muscle: Because both of Marchtinal's virtual character and his image in real life are strong in shape.

Cheese: Because his another nickname - 'Knight' in Chinese has the same pronunciation as 'Cheese' in English, and his non-humanoid OC also looks like a cheese.
Cat: Because Slask used to send various cat emojis all the time, and later WohlstandFox made several pictures where the faces of cat animals are replaced with Slask's humanoid OC's. (Slask is also keeping a cat as a pet now)

HengShao the King Funny Face: In one of HengShao's SMBX levels - The Invasion of Funny Faces Revolution, HengShao is possessed by the original villain of the level - 'King Funny Face', and speaks in a manner similar to King Funny Face. Later someone in Chinese SMBX community made some pictures relating them as a joke, and since then HengShao has been called 'King Funny Face'.

Yaonilla: Vanilla in Chinese is '香草', and if we remove a stroke from the Chinese character '香', it will become '杳', which read as 'Yao'.
Spoiler: show
Kanagrandma: Santoka is a Japanese from Kanagawa, Japan. Kanagrandma(神奶川) is a joking misspelling of Kanagawa (神奈川/かながわけん), because Santoka always uses some memes about Slash-18 (Who is called 'Grandma' by others jokingly).
Spoiler: show
Tyrant/Tyrannyman: Futo used to mute Slask countless times because he always post incomprehensible memes in the chatting rooms. In Chinese SMBX community, tyranny always refers to behaviors such as muting and even banning someone in the chatting room, and with the addition fact that Futo majors in history in his university, Futo is then called 'tyrant/tyrannyman' jokingly in Chinese SMBX community.

Sanvore: Spell as '峨' in Chinese, which can be split into '山' and '我' two characters. The pronunciation of '山' is similar to 'San' while the pronunciation of '我' is similar to 'vore'. The character '峨' is originally used to describe a mountain very high, but once Yave Yu misspelt a word and misspelt the entire expression as '峨峨' in the chatting room. Later, Slask used this word to create a lot of memes, including Sanvore language, a kind of absurd or surreal network "language" used in Chinese SMBX community. And You're Sanvorere (你峨峨 in Chinese) is one Sanvore expression, which can be used to express dissatisfaction with others.
Tyranny: Refers to behaviors such as muting and even banning someone in the chatting room in Chinese SMBX community.
Beauty Grandma Snake: Means '美奶蛇' in Chinese, which is based on a monster called 'Beauty Snake' ('美女蛇' in Chinese) in Chinese folklore. Its allusion also appeared in the article 'From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study' written by Lu Xun, a famous modern Chinese writer.
