It has been nearly a year since Splatoon 3 launched to much applause and fanfare. To celebrate, Nintendo is preparing to launch a truly contentious Splatfest — who among the members of Deep Cut would be the best leader?
Starting at 5:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. EST on September 8 and extending through 5:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. EST on September 10, players must decide who would be the best leader: Shiver, Frye, or Big Man? It would seem as if the sides are evenly matched, at least based on the Twitter replies . “Who else is joining Team Big Man?” asked YouTuber Zack Scott, who received nearly 40 responses at the time of writing, all of which appealed for a different member of Deep Cut to take home the win.
But, it would appear some folks fear the possibility of the majority ignoring the prompt in favor of making this Splatfest more of a popularity contest. “Remember guys, the question isn’t about who your favorite Deep Cut member is, it’s about who would make for a better leader out of them,” said one user on Twitter. They go on to admit their preference for Big Man, while also admitting their opinion that none of them would make good leaders. And then you’ve got the users who make it no secret that they’re not a fan of any available option. “Worst possible theme they could’ve done,” said one user.
In any case, who are you rooting for in this anniversary Splatfest? Don’t forget to vote in-game at the Pledge Box!
