We had previously discovered this creature, but now we know it's name - 'Takozonesu'. Similar to the Inklings, she was the ability to fight by transforming between octopus and human forms and is one of the elite soldiers in the Octarian Army. They seem to be strong enemies who can effectively use the shot guns and bomb weapons.
the 'Takozonesu' can also appear in groups.
It's hard to win while fighting off multiple of these ladies at one time.
So you should aim to kill them individually.
Ah, that's not something I learned from Cap'n Cuttlefish - I thought it up by myself.
Squids apparently love fashion. It says something about this shoe brand (aroma?).
Ha, I get it, it's a pun on "Amazoness" but with tako/octopuss.
So the Japanese name translated would be Takozoness or Octozoness.
So have any people thought about game modes Splatoon Devs should be thinking about
Splatoon Modes Ideas
4 Person Free For All - the goal is to color the most area during designated time, each player is penalized heavily if he kills one of the other players while inking up the place. This will provide a different mechanic where certain players will focus on trying to ink up the environment while others try to get hit on purpose. Players see score in real time thus 3 people are able to group against one and try to get him penalized by trying to get hit by his ink.
Traversal Trials - Pretty much capture the flag in a randomly generated environment, where the different traversal mechanics are introduced and whoever captures the flag first/arrives at a particular check point wins. Since we have seen some additional environments and elements in the SP, those should be used here(pipes, obstacles, platforming). People are able to get hit and restart the course, but only long range weapons which require multiple hits for a kill are permitted.
Maze - Randomly generated maze where the opponents need to get to the center and retrieve an item. Once they have the item they need to return to an entrance in order to win. But you can only traverse ground you've already inked yourself and cannot ink while carrying the item. All players are able to see the maze and colors during the game unless they are inside the center/carrying the item. You can drop the item in order to fight or ink the maze path, but when you pick it up again the map/coloring of the map dissapears - so you have no way of knowing if someone is approaching you while caring the item.
Hide and Seek - One person is able to shoot during this mode, but they have limited ink. The map starts in the color of the person who is searching. Other players are able to color the terrain as they move through it but the person searching is able to view the whole map and its is colored. So if you run into the person who is searching while coloring in squid mode you're toast, but if you color some parts and than hide further behind they might shoot into nothing. The people hiding have a 10 second head start to color some of the terrain before the person searching is deployed.
Those would be dope as hell to me - wonder if such modes would be played in a TPS
I feel like she's not as special if there's multiple.
"He also told Meghan that hes convinced the Octarians are planning some kind of trap, to never let her guard down, and that if he was only a few years younger, hed take care of those Octojerks himself "
Sounds like the name of the female Inkling hero has just been confirmed!
Octolings?
they don't sound like bad guys if you give them cute names
They were always cuties though
Those octolings look way too cute... And they're baddies with sexy outfits... And tentacles... So.... Where is the fan-art? (asking for a friend)
You know. Comparing these translations to the Japanese translations.
Seems like they are avoiding calling them females.. despite already confirming only female octarians can transform into human form. Strange.
the Squids are sounding more like elitist jerk-fashionistas more and more
if they make the Octo's too charming that will be the vibe you get
it will seem like one side lives underground they are the oppressed and the squids are the evil ones lol
these guys should have just been the only real baddies
these are too close to your hero types to make them anti-hero levels of cool
now you give them a cute name you ruined the vibe
Did they confirm that it's only the females that can transform full stop or just that the transforming ones in this game are only female? I'm hoping for some male Octolings too in a sequel..

Eh, the goggles are pretty evil-looking to me. And from what I've heard of the story it has always seemed like the Octarians' motives aren't necessarily evil. I think making them basically two equal races warring is much more interesting than just cute blob things being the villains.
Your friend wants octo girl fanart ,huh? Here:

if they really wanted to equal races they should have allowed one side to play as Octos in 4v4
this being Nintendo I can see the Octos not being truly bad and just one side of a warring world as you pointed out tho

with all the gaf hype for this game why does NA release seem so far off to me?
will this be out before E3?
I believe it's dated to release in May, as MK8 last year.with all the gaf hype for this game why does NA release seem so far off to me?
will this be out before E3?
^ Ah okay awesome, thanks. Looks like it's unconfirmed... Leaves potential for the future
Yesss the Splatoon fan-art train does not stop moving!!
Feel free to add more fanart in the fanart thread. Not many posts at all lately. More are welcome.Time to get the fanart train rolling again
You don't need the "-ess" on the end since "Amazon" = female already.
I'd go with "Octozon" then. The Treehouse usually stays away from using Japanese words in their name translations.
We need to go bigger:Believe this bigger version of the group pic wasn't posted yet:
It confirms all the octolings seen so far are female. So not calling them female is kinda weird.
I wouldn't mind seeing male octolings in a sequel or so.
