      @flyingpigdesign Рік тому +9

      But don’t forget, this is THOUSANDS of years in the future and maybe the size of squids changed. The zap fish is made up, it’s not a real fish. It’s probably not a lightning version of a thousand-year-old catfish. The giant food is probably growth rayed or fake. The floating game boys are clearly replicas. The average inkling is 1 1/2 2 feet tall.

    There’s one thing that I haven’t heard from anyone yet: Inklings HAVE to be small because of basic physics. Because weight scales with the cube of length, a human-sized creature with no bones wouldn’t be able to stand up. It’s the same reason why ants are able to carry eight times their weight, but nothing big even comes close to that strength. Coupled with the fact that inklings can hold comparatively giant things like the ultra stamp, they would have to be pretty tiny.

      If you wanna talk basic physics, then let's go over electronics. Their minimum size is limited. Capacitors can only get so small, we're already approaching atomic scale here. Inklings can't be too small, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to have all this modern portable technology they've been confirmed to have.

    In the Octo expansion, in one of chat logs (I think the 2nd), Marina states that due to the strong magnetic field around the metro it's practically "another dimension." She also says this magnetic field is enough to "warp spacetime." We already know the Octarians have access to extremely complicated and almost magical seeming sciences, so my theory is the reason so many things seem so huge is do to reality warping. The giant food in salmon run? Radioactivity like you said. Shellendorf Institute? There are humans that are that are 6+ feet tall and the Great Zapfish is likely and electric catfish enlarged by radioactivity. The weapons? Sheldon and his family clearly talent in weapon making, so I don't really see how it really plays into this. I'm sorry this comment was so lengthy but I hope you read the whole thing.
    Edit: The deep sea metro accommodates for the larger passengers and employees you see, Judd's size changing is artistic interpretation, and NILS Statue is seemingly a modified Statue of Liberty.

    Holding an N-Zap in person despite having somewhat larger hands it’s more or less the same grip they have. Unless Sheldon made his own downscaled version of the N-Zap I believe it’s safe to assume inklings are roughly the same height as a human kid maybe a bit smaller. As for why the human skeleton is much larger it might only because they purposely enlarged the model so you’d actually be able to see it from the stage and is not made to scale (similar to how the jellyfish in the background of stages are larger than what they are in the plaza.)

    @nico_m_t 4 роки тому +53

    Okay so here is my theory, feel free to disagree because it’s really dumb.
    The giant gamecube from the deapsee metro could be attempts from octolings to build weapons out of them thinking that indeed that was their purpose but failed badly and just put them there, the blender from Tartar could have this explanation as well but in this case he succeeded because in the pearl fight he used a bunch of them to fire the laser. That would explain why they are so big.
    Also the comparison from the megalodon and the inkling could be right, some measurements they took about it, the great zapfish could be just a new specie formed by the radiation like the food from salmon run.
    In the museum I think that the developers just didn’t tried to put the inklings down there so they modeled it as big as they could so you could see it from the distance.
    The big ass door from the octo expansion... I don’t know about you but those doors can be really big so I won’t take it so seriously.
    So, in summary I think they are 5 feet tall.

    I've always thought that the inkling kids/teens we play as are a lot smaller than adult inklings. Like adults are around 5 feet and kids are around 3 or so feet. This kinda makes sense why they grow so much like that cuz they start out as a little tiny baby squid and grow into a fully developed humanoid inkling in just 14 years. Maybe even less.
    Another theory I've seen is that as they get older they become more and more human like, growing a slightly stiffer skeletal structure maybe, slightly losing the ability to go into squid form etc. Why else would the squidbeak splatoon look for kids to fight octarians? Because adults wouldn't be able to fight in the ink as effectively as kids. Idk if I really agree with that one tho.
    I do think inklings get taller as they grow up tho
    Edit: more evidence as to why they may grow to about 5 feet is that the shop doors in the square are huge for the inklings, like they're designed for something way bigger. Like adult inklings too.
    They could he designed for the diverse amount of sea creatures as well I suppose, but still. I doubt very many sea creatures would reach 5 or so feet tall

    Either way I think 5 ft is the most consistent of the bunch. It even has a developer guess on its side. And an official artbook. And then some proof.

    To be honest, Inklings and Octolings may have the same height as the average human.
    Think about it, Inklings literally evolved to become humans with squid features, and the same goes for Octolings, and Nintendo isn't really well-known when it comes to things such as consistency or logic. Take Mario without a belly button, or Link without nipples as examples.

    I prefer to believe that Inklings and Humans are mostly the same in almost every possible thing. I say "almost" because there's unique traits to each one of them. We can't turn into a cute squid, can we?
    Well, that's my opinion. I don't really have much else to say, except Inklings are pretty much humans with cute masks, pointy ears and tentacle hair. And they are, because, why wouldn't they be.
    It's Nintendo, after all. The same company that makes Mario look like a midget close to real people.

So if you measure the height of the jellies in the plaza and proportion them according to the jellies at Shellendorf then you can measure the human using the jellies height accurately. I think that the zapfish, consoles, and giant food are all just, giant and aren’t really meant to be observed as regular. But all in all we really don’t know. 5 feet does seem accurate

    I’d just like to start out by saying I admire that even despite the obvious facts you still wanted to exsplore something you saw as a mystery, and it makes for some really entertaining content, and daisies manny interesting questions for viewers!
    But I would indeed like to give my imput here
    Nintendo has always been vary consistent with the night of charicters in there games, allot of what you pointed out makes some really good points but you have to remeber that the inklings don’t always know what sertinly human relics were used for, not to mention there sense of design is somewhat diffrent from ours, the big stuff you mentioned in the octo exspantions can obviously be boialed down to Jiangxi relics they made that size for a reason, witch is decoration. The same is likely true in salmon run, you don’t actualy think there’s just big food there above the water not rotting or something over time do you?
    Then there’s the matter of the grate zapfish, clearly it’s not the actual size of a real life electric catfish, it’s a huge eel thing, AND it flys in the sky, the whole point of the museum is to teach the player something, and all of the nights we see add up
    Then there’s the matter of the skeleton, the fact that the jellyfish are much bigger then what they actualy are should already tip you off that it’s a matter of perspective to the player to save up space fore the map, I think if the player was ment to actualy get up close to the skeleton they would have been scailed the right way
    And then there’s the train station door, this one use to stump me too but humans have been gone for a really long time, long enugh for theses sea creatures to evolve and build there own civilization around there own nights, inkopolice looks like a really small newyork , however in an underground train station everything is likely ment to fit a few diffrent times of undersea creatures, like the angle fish that basicly tower over your charicter, witch is a whole other thing entirely
    When building there world they dident just have to think about the size of themselves, they had to think about the size of other creatures too, witch is really impressive
    It kind of bothered me how unsure you were, and I couldent tell if maybe you wanted to beleave they were way smaller then what we saw...? Or if you were just posing a question, I’d personally like to know witch height you like to beleave the most!!
    And I hope you make more videos asking questions like these, because even if it seems like everything’s figured out, there can still always be a discussion, and a fun video exsploring the world alittle and exsplaining your views!

    Theory: the inklings might actually be 5 feet. In some of the things you recover In splatoon (watch splat wrap up to confirm) it says that octolings pulled out the plug to early and that's one of the reasons they lost the great turf war. Maybe the giant gaming consoles are the machines they works use and them having cords... the plugs where pulled out to early. Correct me if I'm wrong but salmonoids probably got changed from salmons along with the food by a radioactive substance, just maybe? Also aren't the game consoles in shelendorf institute able to be reached by jellys? Also the inklings modified from squids to live on land. Maybe their squid size represents the size of an actual squid...maybe the inklings might be a little shorter than five feet, but I doubt that they are 1 inch. Maybe the zapfish got modified. Idk.
    Love ur channel pls don't take this as offense. Heck! Maybe they are 1 cm. We will never know.
    Love to hear your theories though😁🤗
