808

808 is one of the main characters in Hi-Fi Rush. Encountering Chai in the first stage, she assists the team in many ways such as providing Chai with Beat Hits and transporting his allies via Assists.
She was voiced by (the same voice actress to Peppermint) who is known for voicing a variety of characters in movies, video games and television including Loona from Helluva Boss, Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat 11, Black Cat in Spider Man (2018 video game), Barbie from Barbie: Dolphin Magic, Barbie: Spy Squad and Barbie: Star Light Adventure.
== Appearance ==
808 appears as a black mechanical cat. She wears a Metallica-styled “響” kanji, and has blue markings on his beard and tail. Her color segment of her 808 also changes depending on who is speaking to her (e.g. blue for peppermint, green for macarons).
808 can also morph into a floating spherical ball, with only red lines marking her face, ears, and collar. In this form, a speaker appears at the back of the head, transmitting visible pulses that act as a metronome.
== Personality ==
Since synchronizing with Chai, she has become very fond of him and often poses with him to express her emotions and share her reactions to the events at hand. Other than that, she acts like a normal cat. In some cases, 808 performs gestures such as mimicking karate poses.
== Powers and Abilities ==
808 is primarily a surveillance bot, acting as Peppermint's eyes and ears, with hacking abilities to infiltrate various sections of Vandelay Technologies. However, the first time Chai accidentally strokes her, he unlocks her mysterious host-synchronized ability, allowing her to enhance her attacks with beams and stronger impacts and act as a metronome. I made it As a side effect, their synchronization produces a repeating signal that can be hijacked due to her hidden temporal displacement technique, essentially allowing Peppermint and the other allies to temporarily sit next to Chai. Allows you to teleport.
808 is not without her own tricks. Not only can she stun most opponents with her cuteness alone with her Steel the Show special move, but she can also use her sharp claws to destroy her machines. It doesn't matter if it's alone, if you can get close enough. Or 808 GW through her cat attack.
== Trivia ==
* The name 808 comes from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which is where her sound effects come from.
* The “響” kanji (read as “hibiki” in Japanese) on 808's collar stands for echo, sound, resonance, ringing, vibration, and more. "Hibiki" is also the working title of the game, appearing on many of Chai's clothes and Corsican sneakers, one of her special attacks, and can still be found written in the game's files .
* When the team contacts Chai, Chai changes the colors to blue (Peppermint), green (Macaron), yellow (CNMN), and red (Korsica).
** Her color defaults to blue if no one is talking about her.
** As you can see in all her animated scenes, it seems that her 808 eyes were planned to be black when no one is talking to her. However, her 3D model in 808 never shows black eyes.
* "808" was inspired by director John Johanas' black cat, who, like her, has a habit of perching on the director's shoulder. Add your own, recurring black cat theme to your game.
