Hey, Frye Fans, don't get salty and hate on Shiver again. Frye has won Japan's yaki Splatfest!
Overall: Ōban-yaki 33p, Imagawa-yaki 24p, Kaiten-yaki 00p
How fitting for Frye considering yaki is a sweet. Yaki is called Ōban in the Kansai region, so Nintendo's local yaki won out.
Well, it sucks that my team did not get a single point. No wonder I had so many losses. Frye's team was so close to winning and Fist Bump kept besting me in the open matches, so I was pretty surprised to see Handshake win. I picked Hug since that resonates with me more. I love a good hug... especially from family.
@Croctopus I was feeling pretty bad for Frye until you brought up Japan's Splatfest results. Thanks for the update!
@IceDomino I think this Splatfest theme with the greetings could be more so with your friends or family members - those who you've known in real life, instead of people you don't know. Or in the case of a handshake, it could be for a professional setting.
ok Frye HAS to be cursed at this point, there's literally no other possible explanation for this at least she won in Japan I suppose?
I'll gladly take the unexpected W though: nice to see the best greeting get acknowledged as such! XD

What's with the huge lead change with splatfest votes coming after the halftime report? Who waits until sunday to boot up splatoon to vote & join splatfest? This happened last splatefest, too. I think the voting reports might be bogus. To have such a big lead change after halftime, seems to imply half or more players don't vote for splatfest until Sunday. Most splatoon likers do not wait until sunday to boot up Splatoon on a Splatfest weekend. Or is there a new meta/splatfest strategy?
@WoomyNNYes I don't think it's that unlikely that a decent proportion of players would wait until Sunday. A lot of casual players might forget or not realise the Splatfest is on until they see it on social media or the Switch news page, and some people might just want to play Tricolour.since that's the biggest unique feature of Splatfests in this game.
Come on Nintendo, give us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Switch Online
@Dogorilla tbh while lately i’ve ended up forgetting about splatfests until sunday, i always make sure to vote before hand. just wanted to mention that :3
I dunno.
Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.
i struggle with self doubt & anxiety sometimes, so please be respectful if my posts aren’t the most positive! ^u^
@Dogorilla Ohhh, Tricolor. Good call. I bet that's a decent factor. If anyone is bored of regular Turf War, I could see Tricolor being a draw, since it's newer content.
Also I turned off the "user posts" option in my game, I got sick of memes and gross stuff flooding my plaza. Plus I lost interest in making Splatfest posts since I can't draw pixel-perfectly like everyone else can.
@IceDomino Same. I admit that it makes the Splatfest Main Event feel less festive with all the generic drawings but Splatverse is nothing like it used to be in Splatoon 2 or Miiverse in 1. It's been like this from launch. Nintendo dropped the ball in this game. I commend the few good artists who still bother but all the trash posts just got to be too much and I've noticed that a couple of artists I've liked in 2 stopped drawing or never even drew in this game. I can still see the good drawings elsewhere. I've never liked how Nintendo made the players the moderators in 2 and 3 and we can't block people. Laughing at Shiver haters was a little fun but predictably got old quickly. I can only tolerate so many silly threats or crude drawings of Shiver getting mocked and beaten.
I made some drawings but eventually quit because we can't see our own posts in-game unless they became extremely popular. There was a funny time when my one drawing of Shiver smirking with the word "Unbothered" was put everywhere but I think that was a glitch. What's the point if I can't ever see them? If I could just have my own private Splatverse, that would've been cool. I'm sure there's still going to be drawing in the next game but Nintendo better improve it or else I'll just leave it off from the start.
@Croctopus I think it was datamined that there would be a future update where you could make plaza posts without using Twitter/FB but it hasn’t happened yet. The plaza is also filled with Twitter culture
@Croctopus I'd like the next game to give us just two hosts again, these three-team Splatfests get problematic when there's two most-favored choices and one least-favored.
God, I wish I'd gotten into the series since the first game, imagine all the Miiverse posts I could've made in every Splatfest.
@Croctopus@IceDomino The types of plaza posts I saw changed massively when I chose Inkopolis as my hub area. Nowadays it's mostly people waiting for a certain weapon to reappear, Side Order or hype about Nintendo Directs/new Nintendo releases. Then with Splatfest, the plaza posts seemed the kind of stuff you'd see during Splatfests in the previous games.
Though on the other hand, when I won a 100x battle during Splatoween and got invited to take photos with Deep Cut I realized that Splatsville got much more of a makeover than Inkopolis. If Frosty Fest happens, it'll probably a similar outcome.
@luckyseven I had no idea that the twitter/FB requirement was still present, I thought they ditched that completely with Splatoon 3 though I never tried to create a post.
Too bad there's not any new gaming console decorations considering the retro theme but I'll still gladly take more opportunities to get titles, money, and emotes, even if the emotes don't seem to interest me yet.
on one hand, i’m a bit annoyed that there weren’t items from Chill Season 2022 in there (unless i missed it cause i did kinda have to skim through this-), but if we do get repeats for Fresh Season 2024, then I might be able to get the Seafoam Set finally.
…1 month and 8 days until 2024. What the fork-
I dunno.
Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.
