by

Summary

  • White Chocolate wins Splatoon 3’s repeat Splatfest, continuing Big Man’s winning streak.
  • Game’s major updates halted, leading to revisits of past Splatfests without changes.
  • Adjustments made to Splatfest tallying system to prevent team sweeps in Splatoon 3.

The final round of the repeat chocolate Splatfest for Splatoon 3 has concluded, and White Chocolate emerged victorious yet again as the winning team. This victory isn’t just limited to the game itself; it also continues a trend in the world of Splatoon 3 Splatfests.

In a nutshell, Splatoon 3 continues to host events such as Splatfests and Salmon Run’s Eggstra Work mode, though its main content updates have concluded. As such, the game has been re-airing past Splatfests, either from this current installment or previous ones. For instance, this year’s Chocolate Splatfest is a repeat of one that took place in 2023, keeping the original teams and leaders intact.

In the recent Splatoon 3 Chocolate Splatfest, White Chocolate emerged victorious, marking a repeat of the 2023 event’s results and extending the streak of Big Man wins. The game underwent major updates to its Splatfest scoring system with the Splatoon 3 7.0 update. Earlier, only the team that came first in categories such as Votes or Tricolor Battles would garner points, but now even the second-place team gets some points. This modification and player’s collective efforts resulted in White Chocolate winning four out of the five possible categories. Shiver’s Dark Chocolate team secured the Pro Battles category, while Frye’s Milk Chocolate team managed to secure second place in popularity.

Big Man Continues Winning Streak

One reason for the modifications in Splatoon 3 was an unusually high number of victories by specific teams. For instance, before the 7.0 update of Splatoon 3, from April to September 2023, Shiver had a five-game winning streak. At present, Big Man is on a three-win streak and has won the most standard Splatfests in total. Some players are disappointed to see that the team not only continues to win but also repeats the same pattern as in the previous Chocolate Splatfest.

In the debate surrounding Splatoon 3, it’s been pointed out that the three-team format for Splatfests might lead to unbalanced matches. The statistics show this clearly, as Big Man and Shiver have dominated with 10 and 9 victories respectively, while Frye’s team has only managed to win three times since its release in 2022. Players are hoping for adjustments to level the playing field when Splatoon 4 arrives, but it remains uncertain how the developers plan to shape the future of the series.
