Side Order Predictions/Theories: Jelletons Act Like Salmonids.

(This post does not include any datamined info for Side Order, I don't know any of that stuff, but it does include datamined info for Salmon Run.)

We've been shown many different shapes and sizes, attacks and defeat methods for the Jelletons now.

I'm thinking many of them may reflect Salmonid mechanics.

The first ones we were shown, the simple small medium large ones that seem to just float towards you, are obviously like the Lessers. If the new renders we've gotten are anything to go by, the tiny ones literally come in threes, just like Smallfries.

But there are lots of others that we can see now.

One I notice strongly resembles a Stinger.

It doesn't *act* like a Stinger in Nintendo's in-game footage, it just acts like a sniper, but that could easily be just because an *actual* Stingray type attack in a solo single-player thing with finite lives and no teammate revives would be hell. I didn't get a good look at the gameplay but I wouldn't be surprised if you're supposed to take it out by knocking out these individual segments till the guy on top falls to the ground.

That being said... there are some unfamiliar ones. There is one that has many bulbs that you have to pop (one seems more detailed than the others though so it's possible you don't have to get every bulb so much as simply find and pop the correct one).

Dataminers know of quite a few Boss Salmonids in the files that go unused as of right now. Three have been in the files for quite some time. Internal names "Ghost" "Balloon" and "Wheel". As of this current Chill Season '24 ('23? I forget), the season patch had added three additional names. "Silo" "Fish" and "Stick".

We know nothing about what these are and can only make guesses based on their internal names, except for one which I will explain in the end.

In the new renders for the Jelletons there are two strong contenders for what "Wheel" could act like, based only on the name anyway. One that literally moves around on a wheel:

And, a bit less likely, this Beybladey guy:

All I'm saying is the Jelletons could tease upcoming Boss Salmonids, which I highly doubt will be added in this coming season but surely must be in the final Sizzle Season, since they are not only keeping these in the files, but also continuing to add on to them.

Now, what I was going to explain: We actually know the mechanics of exactly one of these Boss Salmonids in the files. You know how Bosses are based on subs/specials? Flyfish is Missles, Stinger is Stingray, Steel Eel is Splash Wall, etc.

"Ghost" was found to have parameters for Toxic Mist attached to it.

So I'm just saying, maybe look out for a Jelleton that uses a Toxic Mist like effect (I will scream).

J nods, although didn’t elaborate further on the matter for now. Nothing exciting to talk about when the former planets are as good as dead.

Somehow, this was nice. It’s not something she is used to but the company and the one she might find herself in was a refreshing change of pace. Not N, not V, not … it.

Wisps? Not something she has heard of before but apparently an alien species. Tessa used to ramble about aliens, but neither have seen one before. Makes her wonder if the company ever saw some with how many different planets they inhabited.

Her focus goes back to the lemur once she explains proudly the situation, watching as she starts shadowboxing the air. J can appreciate someone with enthusiasm for their job.

Humanitarian aid, heroes and … villains?

What a strange and simple term, but she decides not to linger on it. J was far from something that could be considered a hero but she wouldn’t view herself as a villain either.

“Sorry - Eggman?“

A digital brow was raised but there was a hint of amusement as she quickly surpressed a laugh. Who can expect to be taken seriously with that kind of name?

Scout an area, run security, fighting - J has at least the basics of that place and she appreciates it. From what she gathers, a lot goes on in the restoration and it sounds just like the job she could use to get her mind off everything. Keep it together, stay distracted and work, work, work.

That was how it’s always been and what it always will be. J wouldn't want it any other way. If she can be occupied, not think about the mansion and everything that happened afterwards about all the deaths and how she got tricked, everything else won't matter. She will be too busy to think about anything - works for her!

But once again - Tangle‘s question confirms that it is her choice in the matter. It’s rare to get asked what she wants in any kind of situation.

She wouldn’t regret that one, right? Not until Cyn returns. Work, don't get attached. You will lose everything anyway.

J smirks. Her time to show off a little now. She saves the name Omega and Belle for later - from the sounds of it, other robots. If they are co workers then it’s unlikely they would fall prey to her - should probably take into account to find a food source around here.

“I would be happy to assist in any way I can. Effective drones have a good range of arsenal that I’m sure can be helpful.“

With that said, she quickly summons her razor sharp wings - careful not to hit anything with it considering the large wingspan of it.

“They are not just for flying. They can deflect bullets and other weapons rather easily. Serves as a protective shield.“

Her normal fingers change into claws - chainsaw hands, sword arm, a gun arm before a flamethrower, rocket launcher, missle and other weapons showed themselves out of her chest.

Once she showed the majority, her fingers return back to normal and the last weapon vanishes.

“I don’t want to cause any kind of casualties inside here, so it’s better to use these on the Battlefield.”

Firing any weapons around here would cause more than damage, after all.

Her tail swishes idly around and she puts it in front of her, although making sure the stinger faces away from Tangle.

“Nanite acid,” she clarifies quickly “Best not to touch.”

And she will have to make sure nobody walks into it.

'Only just arrived on this planet'? Huh. Then that means... J is an alien?! No, wait, she's a robot... a robot alien? Robot built by aliens?

"You're from outer space?" Tangle asks rather dreamily, stars practically in her eyes, "That's so cool! We have these little guys, Wisps they're called— they're aliens! Whisper has a ton of them, and Lanolin has one, too!" ...kinda makes her wished she had one of her own.

Lanolin's Wispon isn't like any she's seen before. It's super unique, compact and isn't at all like the typical 'point and shoot' Wispon used by folks during the war. Leaves Tangle wondering if she could get a cool custom made one for her tail... yeah, that'd be awesome!

(Maybe ask Belle about that later? She could probably make a Wispon, right?)

Wait, no, back on topic, Tangle! Priority right now is to get to explaining everything there is to know about the DC and the cause they serve!

"We're the Restoration!" she says rather proudly, and why wouldn't she be proud? Her best friend/practically sister runs this shindig! "We focus on humanitarian aid while the typical heroes, like Sonic— he's awesome— deal with Dr Eggman and whatever other villain rear their ugly heads!" like that Starline guy. Gross. Tangle's still upset at him for kidnapping Belle!

"Then Lanolin decided that we needed our own specialised team to fight the bad guys ourselves and you better believe I jumped at the chance to join!" Tangle leaps up and starts shadowboxing the empty air in front of her, "Really that's all there is to it!" then she shrugs as she lounges back into her seat, "We kinda just do whatever we need to. Scout an area. Save some folks. Run security in the HQ."

Except stealth missions. Lanolin, Whisper & Duo handle those just fine without her (and Surge & Kit for that matter).

"Soooooo do you think you'd like to hang with the Diamond Cutters? We could use a robot who... ooh, what can you do? Cool robot things? Do you have little tools in your fingers like Belle? Or a machine gun like Omega?"

2022 ukraine-Russia War

[ship-of-skitties]

MORE HORRIBLE SALMON RUN IDEA

it's all tornado

but, instead of hurling normal salmonids

it hurls HIGHLY buffed boss salmonids instead

steelheads? larger explosions, faster throwing, more bomb hp

steel eels? uninkable ceiling so you have to approach from the side

flyfish? 6 missle boxes, larger explosions

big shot? more health, fires 4 shots at a time, moves far, far faster

stinger? pots have 200 hp per

slammin' lid? you have 1 second on the lid before being knocked off

scrapper? way faster, don't break down

who wants me to elaborate

[boombasticsalamander]

And soon the Stinger, commando, A2A missles, and displacement pack?

Helldivers, support has arrived!

The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun are available now for use against the Automaton horde.

Master Card and Visa just suspended ALL transactions in Russia.

Every major crypto exchange is on alert to stop crypto transactions used to evade sanctions in Russia.

Counties are already seizing wealthy Russian's crypto assets.

Russia's central bank has been cut off from the world. Russia's entire banking system has been cut off from the SWIFT banking payment system. The Russian Central Bank is bared from selling any assets to US and European banks.

The US and EU has mobilized a huge amount of financial aid as well as military aid to Ukraine, and effectively insured their bonds.

After over a decade of trying to encourage European counties to rely less on US defense (other than our nuclear umbrella, one of the linchpins of world nuclear arms policy) the EU has ramped up military spending, Germany, whos entire national identity has been against sending it's military for offensive purposes since World War II is breaking six decades of military-adverse policy and shipping 1k shoulder to air missiles, 500 surface to air stinger missles, 2,700 Soviet-era shoulder-fired missiles to Ukraine — as well as embark on a mammoth $110 billion rearming program at home.

Brussels, an EU economic giant has pledged to spend $500 million on defensive weapons to send to Ukraine.

Oil giants like BP, Shell and Exxon walked away from gargantuan investments in Russisa worth tens of billions.

Technology companies who's power and influence rivals some governments, Apple for example, halted sales in Russia, while Google pulled Russian media off their networks.

As soon as this summer Ukraine may join NATO.

And there's already movement in Sweden, and Finland to finally join NATO now, long holdouts adverse to potentially folding on their historic neutrality.

And to top it all off, the Russian Ruple has fallen to all-time lows, despite Putin's desperate attempts to prop up the currency.

Russia's central bank has doubled it's benchmark intrest rate from 10% to 20%, adding huge financial burdens to every loan made in the country: personal loans, credit cards, mortgages, car loans, etc.

That's effectively the Russian Central Bank going:

“Wait! Don’t run away! Buy more rubles! We will give you so much money if you do!” and guess what, it's not working, in large part because the US has effectively made it illegal to buy Russian currency even if someone wanted to.

However, all of the Russian Central Bank assets overseas -- and we are talking $600 Billion worth, have been frozen. The US, it's Allies have said "we aren't giving you your money back you assholes."

Russia has $600 Billion in foreign currency that it's built up in preparation for such an attack, however Russia can't actually use them anymore because they've been isolated and cut off. You can't sell currency when you have no buyers.

In my life the US has never been at the forefront of such a massive, coordinated, ecconomic assault on a foreign country as the Biden Administration is spearheading right now against Russia, and I couldn't be more proud.

“Citing an extensive review of satellite data, one official said the U.S. government had concluded with a high degree of certainty that Iranian anti-aircraft missiles brought down the plane”

“Data”. What’s that?

“... the heat signatures of two surface-to-air missiles were detected, one of the officials said.” “Signatures”. “Detected”.

The satellite must have taken a picture

Show us the imagery!

One picture is worth 1,000 words. Can’t claim protecting secret technology when we say we have the capability.

Show the Iranians as liars.

Can we? Why haven’t we. Why isn’t the Media demanding...data?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Stupidity or panic or malice or whatever on the part of the missle crew could have caused a missle launch. So could a deliberate act by the Iranian government or a rogue element. Or anti-government forces with a loose Stinger. Or sabotage or incompetence with the engine. Etc.

Satillite imagery would narrow the possibilities.

I’ve looked through a screen linked to a satilite tracking coyotes in a national park. At night. We have fantastic capabilities. So “data” is visual images.

IF we have evidence, why not present it? Officially?

Is there an important reason we aren’t seeing photos?

Are no “heat signature” photos being produced because Iran has recovered the Black Box? What if the box is intact? What if the box data rules out a missile strike?

Then any photos before that would be ajudged “doctored”. Propaganda.

“At modern fighter is not a Honda Accord. You don’t just hop in it and drive it around for months until you finally have to take it for a one-hour oil change when the light comes on. If anything, they are far more akin to high-end sports cars that require a lot of expensive TLC to keep operating. The F-22, in particular, is more analogous to an exotic supercar or even a high-end race car than anything else. It requires dozens of hours of maintenance for every single flight hour and deep maintenance can take days or even many weeks to accomplish, depending on what is needed to be done and availability of spare parts, which can be scarce.”

—- Tyler Rogoway at The Drive quoted in Vox

So a number of these $377 million each F-22s apparently had to be left on the ground in the Florida panhandle for the hurricane to destroy because they couldn’t take off with only a week’s notice.

Presumably, a cunning adversary could successfully defeat us with low-tech bi-planes or zeppelins and nail our aircraft in the ground?

Let’s examine •why• the US military (contractor) budget is so large that we exceed the next seven largest world powers’ combined military budgets.

To deliver such temperamental aircraft as the F-22 for their •occasional• flights we have state of the art nuclear aircraft carriers - 11 of them. Trump enemy China has a whopping 1 conventional (diesel) aircraft carrier. Trump friend/USA traditional enemy Russia has whopping 1 conventional aircraft carrier. NATO ally Britain has just built a conventional (Rolls Royce engines!) aircraft carrier increasing their fleet to a total of, wait for it, a whopping 1 aircraft carriers.

Gee, you’d think that these traditional naval powers would invest in nuclear? Alas, the Carriers nuclear or conventional need a •lot• of protection and support from from ships with conventional engines. Conventional engine fuel which has to be replenished at ports or from slow moving tankers. And carriers don’t dare outrun their support. Why?...

During the Falklands War in the 1980s between the British Navy and (mere) Argentina, the Brits had to place their aircraft carriers way out of the battle zone because •1 if the sea is rough or weather adverse they can’t launch jets. So the carriers would be sitting ducks for ship-killer missiles like the Exocet fired from enemy jets. •2 in fair weather carriers are sitting ducks for ship killer missiles like the Exocet fired from the shore, other ships, enemy jets.

Our nuclear carriers are sitting ducks for ship killer missiles. Period. Ignore what nuclear missiles could accomplish. Or if North Korea scuttles one or moreof its diesel subs with a nuclear bomb in the path of a Carrier.

So why does the US spend more for nuclear carriers that don’t dare outrun their support? Might as well also ask why we have so many •expensive• carriers plus all the support craft? It’s a military (contractor) secret. Best to ask the military contractors and their paid Congressional Stooges.

Have I mentioned the stealth ships that we can’t arm? The jets that don’t fly at all? The fleet of, wait for it, •nuclear• submarines ready to fight the Cold War with the (extinct) USSR and its Warsaw Pact Allies (also extinct and those allies have all signed up with NATO).

We have 15,000 troops deployed against alleged Islamic terrorists. We have 75-80,000 sailors on the carriers. Plus 4-5,000 submariners. Plus the massive logistical personnel support for these fleets. Not too mention the maintenance for the tempermental jets.

When did we last use any of these Christmas toys? Who would we need them to fight? They are all vulnerable to missles.

Just like military helicopters are vulnerable to Stinger type missles. Any guess which nation had 80% of the world’s supply of vulnerable military helicopters?

We aren’t spending trillions and trillions on fighting Iraqi oilworkers and Afghani opium farmers. We are spending trillions and trillions paying a handful of Military Contractors to build obsolete and vulnerable armaments. The cheapest of which cost hundreds of millions and will fly, maybe.

Meanwhile, we mouth platitudes about “supporting the troops” who are killed and maimed by IEDs because they walk into battle or ride in vulnerable vehicles. And where do the impoverished enemy fighters get their high explosives for the IEDs? Why from unexploded US bombs that we dropped on the enemy. Who made the bombs? US military contractors. Who paid for the bombs? You did. You paid for armaments for both sides •plus• the obsolete Cold War armaments.

So ask not where the money would come from to do everything the Justice Democrats would like to do and a lot more. Rather ask how much more must we raise the national Debt to pay for this crap? The GOP never cuts the Federal budget, they just raise the National Debt. Why, because most of the Federal budget is military and Social Security. Everything else is chump change.

Because the combined military budget and National Security is the single largest segment of the total US budget. 90% of people who get Federal paychecks are in the military or Security. Cutting SNAP and/or Foreign Aid won’t make a noticeable drop in the deficit. Provides both Parties talking points is all.

And now the GOP wants to go after “Entitlements” - rest of Social Security and Medicare they haven’t cut. Incidentally, the only part of the Federal government that is fully funded through payroll taxes.

Now, this is simple and you don’t need to do any math. If they cut Social Security and Medicare which is fully funded through payroll taxes to BALANCE the budget - they have to use the TAX MONEY you are paying already into Social Security. Your taxes WON’T GO DOWN. You won’t have Social Security. You won’t have Medicare. The GOP will steal your money and give it to the military contractors who will give the GOP some back as “campaign donations”. The budget will be balanced. Understand?

Not voting this November enables the theft. Voting for the GOP enables the theft. Only voting Democratic can prevent the theft.

Remeber kids. When hunting missionary helicopters get Stingers or Iglas, Blowpipe missles are liable to kill you, miss or, well, miss.

This is literally fucking murder!

[rocketbluetulip]

Over many salmon runs, I have spontaneously come up with nicknames for all the salmonids that I yell when frustrated. I present: salmon bois.

Chum: normal boi

Smallfry: smol boi

Cohock: big boi

Snatcher: sneaky boi

Steelhead: bomb boi

Flyfish: missle boi

Steel eel: squirmy boi

Maws: om nom boi

Stinger: tall boi

Drizzler: ‘brella boi

Scrapper: gear boi

[splatoon-names]

Hey inklings! Mod Sibilla here.

We all submit funny names that we see other players use but...

I know when I play Salmon Run with friends and we’re on voice chat we... rarely actually call the boss salmon by their real names. I’m curious what you guys call some of them.

For the record ours are:

Mom (Maw), Sniper (Stinger), Car guy (Scrapper), Bomb guy (Steelhead), Umbrella (Drizzler), and Missle guy (Flyfish)

Steel Eel just gets demoted to Eel

As an added note for anyone wondering our queue is currently over 200 so if you’re wondering why your submission is taking a while that would be why.
