Changing name to Speedy Twintacle Octotrooper
In The Art of Splatoon 2, they are called "Speedy Twintacle Octotrooper". Should this page be changed to use that name? GX_64 (talk) 06:37, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- This feels like the best name for these enemies. “Rocket” isn’t even the official term for these enemies. It’s just something that Marina mentioned like, once in the octo expansion. My question is why they had “Deluxe” in their names before. Were they actually not named in Splatoon 2?
OrderSquid38 [Talk] 06:45, 26 December 2022 (UTC) - I believe it should be renamed to be consistent with the Art of Splatoon 2 book, as well as an added citation confirming the usage of the name.
- It's unfortunate that the other two Rocket Octarians don't have the "Speedy" name, because all of them have the same side-boosting functionality and I think it'd be easier for the reader if enemies with the "Rocket" prefix consistently have that side-boosting mechanic.

- That second point is exactly why I disagree with the renaming; if the other two are named in-game, this should be kept with them for consistency, right?
- Additionally, I would say the NOA-localised name of "Rocket" is better, as the whole "Speedy" prefix is roughly a direct translation of the Japanese name. Adrmcr (talk) 12:36, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
