We're once again approaching that time in North America for the monthly Splatfest, the popular event that captures the hearts and minds of Splatoon players all over. While the Autobots vs. Decepticons Splatfest will never be topped, this Splatfest's theme is still decent.
The battle will be between those who prefer to travel by car and those who prefer to travel by plane. Obviously, traveling by car is the only answer to this question, but we'll let the battles do the talking. The event will kick off on 9th October at 9 PM Pacific / midnight Eastern on that date and will last for the next twenty four hours.
Which side will you be on? What do you think of this month's theme? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Huh, let's see, never have used a plane, so car?
Car for sure....I love to drive and there is so much beauty you miss when flying.....but going 1700 miles in 3 hours is great when vacation time is short
Cars vs. Planes? Hm... I can't decide...
Maybe the countless hours I've amassed in plane spotting will help me decide... not to mention that I love the giant things, even if I'm not really fond of getting into them... ;D
Man when I saw this on Nikki's twitter I was a bit surprised. What a dull topic we're stuck with while Japan gets Squid vs Octopus. :/
...I was expecting them to do more interesting stuff after the Transformer one. :c
As much as I love the picture of the plane, I am not that fond of traveling that way so I may have to go with cars.
See. Now everyone has unnecessarily high expectations after the Transformers Splatfest. -_-
So... autobots vs. decepticons again?
Well anyways I kinda stopped caring for Splatfests, Turf War gets boring after a little bit, and I have plenty of snails. I still wished they would do something like winning special splatfest shirts if your side wins.
Definitely planes
Planes>Cars
I'm not playing this SplatFest with Octolings ruining data swimming around out there.
Better than Autobots & Deceipticons, that was terrible. There should have been a Neither vote for that one.
Really? Lame... I sure hope there's a second Splatfest in October. I was really hoping for a Halloween themed one.
i was expecting a halloween themed splatfest disappointed
@Zach777 Agreed. If Nintendo doesn't release a patch before the Splatfest, then I'm skipping it as well.
why they always do this when I'm out of town????!
The european theme better not be Left Ear versus Right Ear. Why do the european Splatfest themes always have to be so weird?
Both Pixar movies were terrible,so neither
Planes vs. Cars, seems familiar, am I right Pixar.
By the way, Planes>>>Cars
@Zach777 @allav866 I'll do the same as well.
Glock in the planes and cars.
Wow, I saw this theme and immediately thought "who in their right mind would choose cars over a plane?" and the reviewer and first 2 commenters say car. I mean, really? What more amazing thing is there in this world than flying?
Flying is fun the first few times,amazing in fact but once it becomes a regular part of your life there really is nothing worse,it drains the life out of me and if I could avoid it I would.But then again if not for flying I would never have saw the coast of Greenland glistening like diamonds in the sun,or the sun rising on the coast of Burma which was the most spectacular sight I've ever seen.So for those reasons I would pick flying if I could.
Planes because they can take you to more exotic places and you don't have to worry about getting run over by a drunk. Plus, the one time I went against Marie the Decepticons trashed Autobots, so clearly I should stick with Marie and her love for planes.
Plane because obvious reasons. I love aviation.
I agree with everyone who said Planes.
@Nicolai I look at it from a travel standpoint. While it is cool to fly in planes, it's such a headache going through all the security procedures and commercialization that surround the overall experience.
So glad this is the NA Splatfest, train is the only travel option I can really say I like and it's not there XD
Hopefully the European Splatfest will have a theme I can relate more with (then again it's not THAT important, any excuse is good for toss some extra ink around XP).
Oh, hey, I get to team with Marie again!
I intend of playing the next Splatfest a lot. I wasted about 30 of my snails 'swapping' my abilities around, or trying to. What a flawed system, you get given two or three of the same thing (which does not make the effect greater) or doubles of what you already have. I wish you could choose your abilities or at least earn the ability to.
Meanwhile in Europe...
Fork vs Spoon
Left Leg vs Right Leg
Blanket vs Duvet
Black vs Almost Black
5p Carrier Bag vs 6p Carrier Bag
Generic Something vs Generic Something Else
And more excitement continues...
@MitchVogel Still you can't deny that planes are just very awesome (except plane food... ugh). In them, you can witness the beautiful things you learnt in geography class in a better way than cars. Not to mention that plane spotting is a really nice way if wasting away the time. Maybe that's why there's nothing like car spotting.
My guess at Europe's next Splatfest: What is your favourite ocean: Pacific or Atlantic Ocean. As for the US one, planes are much more awesome
I travel on a plane too much for work, so team car it is. Let's do this thing!
Should've been planes vs trains.
@Sherlock Yeah good point. Kind of a missed opportunity huh? They should have done like vampires vs warewolves or something.
@aaronsullivan LMAO!
@aaronsullivan I'm glad somebody finally got your joke.
I'm just happy it's the 9th, don't have any plans, was sure it would be on the 17th when I'm busy all day again. Seems like the only time I play Spaltoon anymore is during Splatfests, afraid to see my B 3 points turn into a C+ 70.
Cars.
Because this:
is better than this:
There was a time I would've said car, but now with a little kid I'm thinking team plane. . .assuming baby hasn't arrived yet (then it would be team mombie for me).
@Zach777 it won't work during splatfests. If your game data was frozen before the splatfest will fix it.
@MitchVogel, Ah, I see. I'm a very patient person, so I guess I've always overlooked the security process. Even as a musician, where they're guaranteed to think my French Horn is a weird metal death machine, and I get stopped and searched at every terminal I take it into, it's still worth it to see what it looks like above the clouds.
I'm picking cars because of convenience. Planes are just too much of a hassle to deal with. Plus my ears are so sensitive (due to surgery when I was little), that the pressure difference makes my ears 'pop' too much and it really hurts. I almost want to cry when it happens.
I'm gonna have to go planes, even though I've never been on a plane before. lol
I've always wanted the see the clouds; let's go Team Planes!
Cars. 31 and I've flown on planes for the first 25 years of my life, up until 2009. After 9/11, I really didn't feel comfortable on those things anymore.
Plus I always wondered how these massive things, made of mostly aluminum, could fly that high in air for such long periods of time.
I don't care how safe everyone says they are to travel in. Cars for me, sorry.
@garthvader Well how are you gonna get back to town? Car or plane?
how fitting that a splatfest about modes of transportation is coming on my birthday...
@RaiRiggs Aw, I was gonna say that!
@RaiRiggs @Raichu Sorry to be so picky guys but as a huge Pixar fan, I'd just like to point out that Planes was a Disney movie, not Pixar... While Planes was inspired by the world of Cars, it didn't have the depth that Pixar's Cars did...
Saying that, Cars wasn't exactly Pixar's best movie... But it was still miles ahead of Disney's Planes...
So from a movie point of view. I'd pick Cars for the Splatfest, but from a real world point of view I'd pick Planes because that's the only way I can get to Hawaii
@ThomasBW84 @AlexOlney Just wanted to report what appears to be a glitch with the new Carbon Roller Deco in Splatoon. I normally have a very stable internet connection, and rarely have any disconnects, but when using the new roller I was disconnected many times during matches. It always happened while using the weapon's special, bomb rush. If I would send out as many seekers as I could, over a long distance, it seemed to overload the system and I'd be disconnected. Anyone else having this problem?
I hate both! I wish they had three this time with trains/light rail being options.
I've commuted to work for over 10 years of hellish traffic and this has killed my once love for driving. Plus it drives me crazy when I share the roads with people who drive poorly. Once I'm home and on "country" roads, I actually like driving though.
On the other hand, I appreciate the fact that planes get you from one point to the next faster. However, I'm never comfortable on planes. I'm a taller person so I'm always dealing with the person in front of me who needs to lean their seat back.
But when it comes down to it, I would rather be able to travel to another location in a few hours instead of an entire day.
Regardless of what I pick, I'll lose once again. I've yet to pick the winning side!
Shouldn't the European Splatfest also be announced for the upcoming Saturday (October 10th)? The last four EU splatfests took place in a thee-weeks-interval, so I was assuming that there would be one this weekend (need snails for reroll and it would be the first Splatfest for a friend of mine ).
But so far, there was no announcement...
@VeeFlamesNL to help you decide i recommend watching all those plane crashing video's.
