A good example is the cannon plan, no sane living organism or mechanical would accept that plan was good. But 808 like the plan as much as Chai.
@@jacobweatherford4696 bud. I think they only forgot to put the word “to” before “his”. Meaning the sentence actually says, “But after Chai synchronized with 808, she adapted to his personality”.
I absolutelt LOVE how 808 has these little "personality switches" when different people talk. I love this games silliness. It's artistic style, its music, its combat. I love EVERYTHING about it. It's given me nothing but nostalgia for the days os Jet Set Radio future. My only fear is that like JSFR we might not get a sequel cause it doesn't go mainstream or make enough. And frankly that would be a crime :(
Last I checked, it's been performing well both critically AND financially, so I'd say we're likely gonna get a sequel at some point...but IIRC Tango might working on a new Evil Within game, so we wouldn't be getting it any time soon. EDIT: Just checked. Around launch it was in the top 5 of Steam's best sellers. It's at about 38th as I type this. Also, 98% of players who reviewed it on Steam gave it a positive score, and most review sites have been giving it eights and nines all around.
@@Mister_Don888 That;s a bit harsh. Considering the competition. Would you prefer another P2w diablo game? Or perhaps you would prefer a tired out COD game. "What happens in this game i wonder? bad guy/ lots of shooting? stopping a world war? OH it's allll of the above. How original" It's important to support games like these who step up and present new ideas with originality and quality combined. even if this game doesn't get a sequel it will definitely inspire more like it.
@@Year_of_the_Dell That's Peppermint's annoyance though, not 808. 808 doesn't seem to mind, when she's left to her own devices she's happy to be around Peppermint and doesn't seem to hold a grudge
It's about a guy who enrolls in the first phase of cybernetic enhancement from a major company, only to end up hunted down as a defect when his iPod accidentally gets installed in his power core, causing everything around him to sync to the beat. From there he meets up with a girl and her robot cat who are trying to expose the company for installing a mind control ai in the enhancements they're giving out. It's a pretty fun character action game where music plays a pretty big role. Plus, it's got a fantastic cat
Taking a guess here, but when it says "host synchronized", after that point 808 starts to share personality traits with Chai, and since he's a sort of goofy, laid back character, 808 is as well, which is probably why there's a lot of parts where 808 mirrors Chai, even down to eye rolling before the Korsica fight
I love that 808 is the only other character who seems to be totally down with whatever Chai's up to. She always syncs up with him and agrees that he's rad.
Just remember: Kale got his ass handed to him by a CAT (it's technically true, 808 saved Chai from Spectra, and Chai fought him from there. The cat was the "cat-alyst", you could say).
3:46 Wow I didn't even notice this when I first fought Mimosa but 808 is doing the exact same pose. Why is that so funny to me? This fucking cat just strikes an epic pose and is just standing on twos. I love this game so much and 808 is just so adorable. Just um...... don't look on Rule 34..
Even funnier, it's a direct recreation of the "toaster jump" stage entrance Michael Jackson famously did in Bucharest. Down to the sparks behind them and holding the pose for mad long while the crowd goes nuts.
@@Paintballpro18 yea like NO JOKE when I started to adore this cat on a random day, random hour, random sec in my life I said “there gonna be so much p0rn huh” 💀
My favorite thing is 808 and Chai sharing a brain cell. Probably something to do with 808 being built to mimic emotions and facial expressions, like she does when Peppermint, Macaron, Korsica, or CNMN talk through her, but due to Chai synchronizing with her, she mimics Chai's expressions by default when nobody's talking through her.
808's tech seems to replicate the body language of whoever is actively controlling it, I like to believe that its taunting and dancing is chais influence specifically, external of just being a cat ai
In the next game it could work, since Steve from Minecraft is Microsoft's property, seeing Chai and 808 in Smash would work perfectly, the special attacks with Peppermint, Macaron and Korsica would be insane, and the Final Smash attack would be either 808 super attack or one of the special attack he has, or even better, all the group at once for an exclusive group attack as the Final Smash, so many opportunities there.
I'd love to see them in Guilty Gear. Knowing Daisuke's love for music it's just perfect + it could be fun seeing Chai interracting with I-no and guessing the music referrences
I noticed Chai has the same symbol on the bottom of his shoes. Maybe it's some kind of brand? Haha I just had a hunch but it's totally the Japanese Kanji for 'Hibiki' the same word on Chai's belt and Korsica's shoes. HAS to be a clothing brand.
@@darksuntoggafhd9947 Yeah, it's on a couple of alternate clothing peices as well. It's definitely a brand of some sort, lol. Similarly, there's a recurring lighting bolt symbol on almost all of Chai's outfits, implying they might come from a single brand too.
808 and Chai are often on the same page, and I absolutely love it. She gets excited when he does, she does the same poses as him, and even makes similar expressions if they have to react to something.
The best thing about 808 and Chai is that essentially Chai just stole Peppermint's cat from her. That's _his_ cat now.
😂😆
makes sense, cats often have a favorite person, my familys cat hangs out almost exclusively in my room with me
More like Chai's _her_ human now 😸

The same way other characters can control 808 he can too. During that scene he syncs on his own vs peppermint doing it for everyone.

And we have Korsica being a cat person, another reason to love her more.
@@modreamtubersansgaming6907 and Kale got his ass kicked in the end.

808 is so cute. I love how expressive she is!
Partially due to her synchronizing with Chai.
The arrow tail wagging is adorable
Why do I find the whole color changing when someone different is talking through her even more cute?
Not only does 808 mimic people's voices of the people talking through her but also mimics their mannerisms, so it just adds to the charm.
“What, you think- you think I can’t deal with a CAT?”
*He could not, in fact, deal with a cat.*

I like to think 808 finds being used as a mouthpiece slightly annoying and the reason she likes Chai so much is because he gave her a way cooler job.
Or maybe she just acquired his personality with the synchronization thing.
Well, she is programmed to do it. I'd say she doesn't really care, considering it's her function.
