He says the memephrase, "YOU WOT MATE?" referencing "u wot m8". So yeah. Spyke is a $waglord.

Quotes
The quotes seem to be from the American version as far as I can tell, he has some differences in the AUEU version iirc Pinkolol16 (talk) 10:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Correct, I clarified in the article and I'll type up as much as I can tonight from my EU game. 12:32, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

just noticed how this page has like no resources
I literally just noticed this... does Spyke literally have NOTHING that we could use as a "information source" for this page? Just curious.

 * ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess not. Pretty much all of this is ripped directly from the game info boxes or Spyke's dialogue.

 * So I'm assuming there's no official information from Nintendo about Spyke, other than the Nintendo Direct he was announced in? :/ Sucks for Spyke, then. Mariesignature.png SPBOnion  (talk)  02:30, 9 June 2016 (UTC)


 * So basically people just randomly found out he was Cockney? Hmm... I'm familiar with Cockney speak but I think most people on this wiki have never seen nor met a Cockney irl... how'd we find that out? This page confuses me xD


 * but seriously tho who was the first person to realize Spyke was portrayed as a Cockney <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#33cc00">The E-Litist Dr from squid squad face.jpg 20:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)


 * IDK. If you really care, I'm sure you could look into the history of this page, but who wants to take the time? I guess someone just guessed based on his in-game speech that he's a cockny. (i.e. YOU WOT MATE?!) Skylar (talk) 11:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)


 * We try to have as many references as possible - if you find a source for something in a page, put it in. However, there is stuff for which there aren't any sources available, it's too basic to need a source, etc., so some pages might not have any. :/ --<font face="Corbel"><font color="#f2992e">Bzeep!  <font color="#f7c282">talk  18:55, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

A page doesn't necessarily need references listed, especially if most info is common knowledge or from the game itself. I don't think we can easily source the discovery of the cockney accent either. 01:30, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

There are some good points here, really I don't think Spyke would have any resources other than the Nintendo Direct and whatever other stuff Nintendo put out before the game's release. Anything else is either really hard to find or not official :/ All I know is that he's an easily irritable Cockney, just like SPBOnion here. :) <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#33cc00">The E-Litist  20:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

"All I know is that he's an easily irritable Cockney, just like SPBOnion here." lol true xD But in all seriousness you're right about the sources, E-Litist. <font face="Lucida Console"><font color="#0099ff">SPBOnion <font face="Corbel"><font color="#004d80"> (talk)  17:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

You have a post of the inner eyelids on your Miiverse, SPB. And you were right... that is a bit disturbing o.o <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#33cc00">The E-Litist  19:43, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Yup! It's not edited at all. The picture that got removed in the "Spyke's eyelids aren't dark while blinking" isn't edited. It's just Spyke's inner purple eyelids. Gonna wait for someone more experienced with this wiki to tell us what to do about it before adding it back. <font face="Arial Black"><font color="#33cc00">The E-Litist  20:26, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello? Anyone? Hello... <font face="Lucida Console"><font color="#00ff00">The E-Litist <font face="Corbel"><font color="#009933"> (talk)  18:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

I honestly want to see how much thought went into his name
"You know what sea urchins have? Spikes! We're gonna take the word 'spike', and give it a "y" so it looks cooler, and make 'Spyke'! HER HER HER HER

But seriously though I bet Nintendo took 5 minutes to figure out what to name him <font face="Lucida Console"><font color="#00ff00">The E-Litist  <font face="Corbel"><font color="#009933"> (talk)  02:56, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

You're so right, Spicy. I love how they took some creepy alley kid character and made him a sea urchin to go with the saying 'street urchin'. A sea urchin on the streets. Clever. I love his character design. It definitely fits his character role/personality. I just, really like his character in general.

I tell kids at my school about the name 'Sheldon' having 'shell' and Annie and Moe's names being combined to make 'anemone', and they say that those are such bad puns. But somehow the blandness of the name 'Spyke' for a sea urchin character doesn't seem to bother them. In my mind I'm like, 'Umm. Isn't Spyke a lot worse? I mean, it's not even a clever pun or anything. It's a sea urchin's most prominent feature, but respelled.'

I bet in the world of Splatoon this is the equivalent of naming your kid with brown hair "Brown" or something. Spyke's parents obviously couldn't think of anything else. I can't believe I'm talking about Spyke like this, but this is something that has bugged me for the past few days, and I had to get it off my chest. <font face="Lucida Console"><font color="#00ff00">The E-Litist <font face="Corbel"><font color="#009933"> (talk)  02:00, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

If I order Hats, Clothing, shoes with Sub abilities with them, can It upgrade it to the gear with the sub ability?
I've been waiting for an answer to this Question. For an example of my question, Lets say one Inkling in my Plaza has a shirt with the Damage up ability, and the sub abilities are all Damage Ups. If I order the gear from Spyke and upgrade it, will I get the same Sub abilities when the shirt is completely upgraded?
 * No. If the gear does not arrive with the sub abilities that you ordered, then the abilities will be random once you add slots and unlock the abilities. Heddy (talk) 05:07, 9 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Alright, I was scared to figure out myself, so I didn't want to waste time. Thanks for the answer.
