Splatoon

Woo!

Weird that Raphael won in popularity. Most of the small number of fights I fought were mirror matches.

Yeah, that was basically the opposite of how I expected it to play out.

What's new, pussycat?

A medley of octo music, seemingly. Made by an artist named 'Dedf1sh'.

I never expected the turtle with the least familiar name to come out on top.

Sanitized Octarians like dedf1sh are brainwashed so thoroughly they have no sense of will or personality.

"She is dedf1sh (dead fish). It was a DJ who had been promising the future, but as a result of pursuing the ideal music, she stepped into the underground experimental facility and was "disinfected." While she lost her will, she still continues to beat the Beats and her mix is flowing in the facility."

Is this Octavio's doing, or is someone above him (or maybe even a rival in leading the octos) calling the shots?

Because this is preeeeety f'd up.

I'd say Octavio cause all the boss tentacles seem to be his and everything else just leads back to him. Going by interviews and lore he'd already used brainwashing music and goggles to bolster his forces, the difference being that that brainwashing let them keep a semblance of self.

The sanitized Octolings seem to be wearing a version of the hypno-shades, too.

So Octavio really must've gone the deep end. In the first game he had a case for being deperate, but now he'd be simply using his people instead of helping them reach a better future.

Then again, this is more subtly sinister than what DJ "IMMA REMIX YOUR FACE" Octavio has been known to do. Maybe he's also being puppeteered?

It's been going on since the first game. These interviews tell a lot more.

This video mention the brainwashing too, if I recall, but it was only directly stated in interviews and implied in the sunken scrolls.

EDIT: Apparently a proper translation is closer to "Dedf1sh was once a promising DJ. Pursuing the ideal music, she went into the underground research facility and became sanitized/disinfected. Despite losing her free will, she continues to make music that can be heard throughout the facility"

Another glimpse at a singleplayer level :D

I know, but brainwashing via music and sick-ass glasses is a different kind of evil than "desinfection" and turning into a will-less husk.

I still think Octavio is likely the one behind this, but I still stand that this is a much different kind of sinister, and that an octo behind the octo could be a possibility.

I'm getting flashbacks to the watermelon level from Super Mario Sunshine.

It would be nice to have competent teammates to have my back when I'm carrying the fucking rainmaker and who prevented the bad guys from making a beeline to the goal.

Welcome to ranked.

I'm rank S+1 in Rainmaker

It's even more true there.

I haven't played Clam Blitz yet, but I imagine the teamwork in that is even worse.

Clam Blitz is more of a "every man for himself" thing that's technically in teams.

Occasionally I'll run across somebody who does something useful (like realize that their two clams aren't doing any good and throw them to somebody else who has like 9), but it's not exactly common. Although it might be because unlike the other modes it doesn't have two years of metagame behind it.

You know its sad what happened to Dedf!sh. Her music is really good, more in line with the kind of techno I like that any Splatoon music I have heard so far.

This really makes me wonder how Marina escaped the situation the Octarians are in.

Just thought I'd share this. It's a Splatoon theory video from the You Tube channel Gnoggin, using a script I wrote.

More than likely Marina left while DJ Octavio was recovering from the fight with Agent 3. That would make it easy for a single Octoling to slip passed any security, especially since Agent 3 splatted most of the Octarian forces.

I do have to wonder if this is Octavio or another Octarian we haven't seen or heard of yet. This doesn't seem to be Octavio's style, he is more showoffy about his stuff including his brainwashing glasses.

If this is him though...why would he turn on his own people and use them in such experiments? Desperation to survive is the only explanation I could think of.

I would not be surprised to get a Not Me This Time or Man Behind the Man kind if deal this time around.

Happy third anniversary, Splat!
