I dont thinkt there is any game that does cultural differences like splatoon does it. I am thinkgin abt the salmonids again I'm thinking about the Cohozuna fight theme can i talk abt the Cohozuna theme I am dying tk talk about the Cohozuna theme
Ohh my god the way it sounds so distorted like a fight for control between the members of ω-3
It sounds hectic and chaotic and awful but that's what makes it GOOD because for brief moments you can hear a slight harmony tying everything together (THANK YOU The First Child of Algin, Hidden Blade of Yakiharas) only for everything to collapse again I LOVE how it reflects the personalities of the Salmonids in ω-3
It's such a Good Song. It characterizes them more than any splatcast characterizes Deep Cut I am so sorry but it's true ω-3 is so much more interesting than any other splatband their music gets their personalities across on its own if you just showed me them and the Cohozuna theme I would easily be able to pinpoint their personalities and who plays what based on what the music Feels like
I love Deep Cut. I do. But their music doesn't get their personalities across because it's just. Idol music. Based on their tunes you would never be able to guess Shiver is an unhinged freak (affectionate) but just by hearing the timpany in the Cohozuna fight. Green Flame Born From Trout Hell Canyon is so easy to understand. You can tell he is the serious one, imposing, harsh, doesn't care what happens so long as he gets the music across to drive the other salmonids into a frenzied killing march
The Loyal Servant of the True Salmon King Hizunamasu. By how fucky and unhinged his remixing is you can tell he's the brat of the trio that does whatever he wants, no regards for his elders, just to shine his own work across, constantly interrupting The First Child of Algin, Hidden Blade of Yakiharas. ESPECIALLY interrupting TFCOATHBOY like a "fuck you, old man!" Type of thing.
And of COURSE. The First Child of Algin, Hidden Blade of Yakiharas. This man is the glue of the team. He's what keeps them from collapsing no matter how much insanity the other two decide to throw at him. He's the older one, his cello feels so much more. Composed. Harmonized, less aggressive but still setting down a heavy sense of authority, what truly makes the music a march for their lands, the eye of the hurricane if you will, the peace that makes you realize how Fucked you are
It's so good. They're so good. No one does it like them no one could ever do it like them
