I had this concept since last summer, with the Tekko 2016 contest giving me the reason to complete it.

With the Tekko 2016 finalists announced, it's now safe for me to post my latest video, which I completed for the contest, but failed to make the finals. Hopefully, the video will find some love here.

Re: Splat!
really cool idea. I haven't actually played Splatoon, but I smiled when I realized what you were doing with it 
. I do think that you should have picked a more notable song from the game though. If I hadn't looked at your song info beforehand, I wouldn't have gotten the concept while watching it. Using "Squid Sisters" would have made the concept easier to grasp (since that song is known by people that haven't even played the game). Or you could have actually used one of the English covers of "Once Minute Remains". Having the viewer understand the lyrics would have helped sell the concept as well.

Choice of song: I went with One Minute Remains because to me, it reflected one of the main selling points of the game (and the main inspiration for the video): the 4-on-4 multiplayer battles.
Lyrics: Quite honestly, the way the lyrics are sung in the regular version of the song, some people (like me) may assume that it wasn't someone singing, but rather some electric instrument playing in the background.
