Before we begin, let me clarify that while favorites are subjective, I will be trying to portray things in an objective light as much as possible!
In 2023, Splatoon 3 had a special anniversary Splatfest. The theme? "Who Would be the Best Leader of Deep Cut?" The options, of course, were Shiver, Frye, and Big Man. At this point in time, Big Man was my favorite character in media; it was the height of my Splatoon obsession, and I was determined to bring him a victory. However, within Splatoon, Splatfests are legally binding--this isn't merely a question of who do you like, but truly WHO IS THE BEST?
As I looked into it, I realized that while I liked Big Man (and, by the way, still do), he did not have really any good leadership qualities. The closest was that he would be willing to listen to those under him, but really that was more due to his timidity and indecisiveness, which are not positive!
So, the remaining options were Shiver and Frye. I am half Filipino, so the side of me that is enamored with Asian culture looked to Shiver first. However.... I was not impressed. While she has a strong personality (which is great for a leader!), she was also somewhat self-obsessed, and tended to ignore the peons around her.
That left Frye. By now I was not feeling good about choosing any single leader--Deep Cut works best as a team, and having an official leader could ultimately be a detriment. Nonetheless, I had to choose. Frye is a headstrong character, which could be bad--she might come up with a plan and set it in motion without ensuring it is the best for everyone. However, I don't think this is the case. In multiple instances, she has shown that she is willing to listen to other points of view: even in the Splatfest World Premier, she was easily swayed by her bandmates' Fest choices. As time went on, she had character growth in that she began to take other's thoughts into account, then use those to build her own opinion on a matter and be able to defend it well!
Now let's compare some smaller things, starting with their RotM boss fights. Shiver has barely tamed Master Mega--and she blames him for any failures during the fight. Big Man simply clones himself. But Frye has a whole school of eels that she not only leads, but respects! She cares for each of them, even when they turn on her.
Upon their defeat, each one will use a smoke bomb to add flair to their exit. Shiver pulls hers out only to fumble it and be blasted away. She tries to taunt the player, but only ends up embarassing herself. Big Man throws his down in annoyance and gets sent flying. But Frye? She slams hers into the Octostomp. She is all about the show, the flair! She wants to stand out in people's minds.
Circling back to Splatfest, check out the Tricolor cheers. Shiver compliments you for being on the cool team, a rather narcisissitic way of patting herself on the back. Big Man acts like a cheerleader, which is totally fine. Btu Fyre not only cheers you and your teamate on, she extends a rallying call to the whole team to do the best they can. It's a combo of Shiver believing in the cause and Big Man believing in you.
Lastly, thoughout the Fests, we have seen Frye wnting the best for everyone. Specifically during the Zelda Fest, she chooses Wisdom because she wants to make the best decisions! Big Man chose Courage, and for good reason, as we have already shown his timidity; Shiver chose Power because of course she did. But Frye truly wanted to better herself!
That's about all I have to say about Frye being the best of Deep Cut, because that is a more objective stance. My reasoning for liking her best overall is far more subjective, so I won't make you read it/make me type it (unless you want me to....)!
Can you box WHILE playing the sax? @Caleboi25 I've honestly never thought about it that much I just saw Big Man and just liked him but Frye is probably the best pick for leader.(I would like to hear the rest).
