Also this, the music great

Amazing gameplay.

The music and overall aesthetic.
i'm still mad none of the octo expansion music made it in smash desu

it's EAD's bite size challenges design perfected because it's decently challenging throughout and is even more varied than 3d marios because of the way the levels are built to accomodate certain weapons and how challenges can change drastically based on your weapon pick at the start, it's a really nice diegetic difficulty slider

and of course it has a really unique and bizarre tone and atmosphere (abyssal matrix from the 80's featuring a genocidal phone) and agent 8 is probably the most adorable vidya character of the last 15 years

I am a fucking casual.
I cannot beat the secret Agent 3 fight.

There are plenty.
though female 3/female 8 is more popular.

in term of popularity, it's probably like

I haven't seen a lot of female 3 x male 8, though they have a decent amount of fanart.

Git gud

Is there like a specific tag for each or is it just all sort of nebulous

as far as I know, no. I go pinterest if I want to find images similar to one another

Octos has a sense of cool but also curious since there were in game reasons why they couldn’t hang out with squidkids. So when agent 8 got to the surface after doing every mission before the final story mission. I felt like I earned that moment when agent 8 was looking at the sun for the first time.

Attached: 1554986359367.jpg (514x558, 54K)

Agent 8's a normal Octoling that broke free from the collective Octarian hivemind after directly listening to Calimari Inkantation. Every Octarian you see in the DLC is just supergoo shaped into an Octarian-ish form. They're "sanitized", whatever the fuck that means.

Just look at them there. Squatting. Plotting our demise. Disgusting.

why is she checking out her ass?

That final climb horrified me at the thought of how they were being "reborn". It was so damn good.

the octoling have the biggest ass

The artbook referred to the playable Octolings as underlings multiple times, so i'm guessing they're just low rank octos in the army.

Dont you mean cute and funny?

Compared to the base game's single player, it was a masterpiece.
Base game had an extremely bland one.

They're essentially a mix of NK and China.
Specifically, NK extreme communist society and relationship with Japan (Inkopolis) but with China's economic status and resources.

Base game weirdly enough feels like DLC while the Octo expansion felt like the actual single player.

You could really tell Splat 2 was extremely rushed and Octo was the actual game they wanted to make, even if it wasn't the original story they had planned since Splat 1.

I thought it was stated that the octarians had very limited resources cause they lost that war and got exiled to the valleys, which is why DJ Octavio keeps trying to steal the Great Zapfish

They’d make a good Isabelle or Ganondorf type character. Similar foundations with big variances or outright different moves in a lot of cases.

Octo expansion came out like 5 months before Smash, obviously that was too late to include stuff. Shit, the Inklings are based on Splatoon 1.

it was boring as shit honestly. There wasn't much that was really added or explored in the game for me, and a lot of the lore added was fucking pointless considering you could figure most of this out easily. There wasn't much to really go explore out of the formulaic ass box considering lore, and it felt repetitive. Also half the courses are fucking pointless and the boss rematches have no purpose considering you get the Thangs just from one stupid ass level. If you liked it thats fine, but i personally didn't get much enjoyment out of it

Is it not? I get most of my fanart from these threads and at the very least 4 is usually female.

They're going to be adding new characters to the smash roster until.. What was it? Year 21?
I could see them adding some 'extra' echoe characters like the Octoling or something while they work on the other content. Lot can happen in 2 years.

Because it's a proper oldschool no-bullshit expansion.

I see the octolings more as alt costumes than as fighters.

I want a splatoon single player game.

You know the worst implication with octo expansion is that the subway is run by Kamabo Corporation (or Kamabo Co.). Kamaboko is basically a loaf made of blended fish.

Attached: file.png (1300x867, 1.27M)

Well it's a good thing squids and octos ain't fish, huh.

New octos are natural-born octolings. Old amazons are largely clone troopers made the same way as the tentacle troopers, by cutting a tentacle off a true octarian (one of the big ones) and letting it grow.

It wasn't. It's just as boring as the base game campaigns of Splatoon 1 and Splatoon 2,

Octolings are just born like normal, same way as Inklings. Octarians are their personal minions they can create by cutting off their tentacles (Because an Octopus' neurons are spread among their arms). They're considered a separate "species"

This gave Octolings the number advantage in battle, but the Octarians themselves are stupid.

It's just a direct reference to the mem cakes in-game.

This guys got it: The short-bus looking Octarians are all soldiers Octavio grown from his tentacle clippings. He'd literally cut his hair, put it in a jar, grow some soldiers, and start shit.
The 'normal' looking ones are Octolings and they're the actual people: cocked and locked. The ones you fight in the first game are more or less radicalized children.

Pic related should also be mentioned. It's Octavio vs Cap'n Cuttlefish. Octavio has a humanoid form, but we never personally see it; he's always in his Octopus form when we fight him or when he's captured.

this doesn't say "octoling" though

Octavio clippings are stronger than most, they control the octoweapons. Regular rank-and-file tentacle troopers are from normal octolings.

it makes a distinct difference between Octolings and Octarians (And notes that Octarians can't reproduce). Given their similar biology besides the Octarian thing, it's easy to assume by conjecture that their life cycle is similar to Inklings.

I thought squibs were the middle ones. I meant the 2nd from right form.

ah that's right, sorry

I think people call every form that isn't the final one a squib

I must confess
I like octoboys
