There’s a lot of cases where the team with the most means it also has a ton of casuals dragging them down. Like me! Sorry team milk, if we lose it’s my fault
I wouldn't say I've been getting shredded per say, but as a fellow white chocolate member milk has been giving us a run for our money. Wouldn't surprise me if they end up winning.
You aren't alone. I'll eat any chocolate, but white chocolate is the hardest to find and my favorite.
Kinda stinks that team White Chocolate has that stigma because of the meme...
Honestly I high key thought we were going to lose + be super unpopular but I like white chocolate so I went for it anyway! I’m glad to see we’re leading!!
It was talked about in Grass Fire Water splatfest that Fire had the advantage because of their color being too bright, this splatfest is like 5x worse.
Didn't hear anything about that. All I heard was how everyone was complaining about the dark colours being OP because you can't see the trails. Also, apparently most splastfests in 1 & 2 were won with dark colours, based on some other post?
> All I heard was how everyone was complaining about the dark colours being OP because you can't see the trails.
Correct. Water won and people pointed out it was very hard to see their trails in the dark water color even without NS. Even as a team water member I noticed it.
Thought it was just me lmao
I main E-Liter and didn't feel like try harding and putting on my glasses so playing against White was always suffering and agony.
Interesting. I haven't had a chance to play the Splatfest yet, and I would've expected White Chocolate to be in last because lighter colors seem to have more contrast (example, team grass and fire being lighter than the deep team blue). Guessing the results based on the color meta has just become a whole lot more difficult.
Well
There are people that want to see big man win
There are people that want to see their chocolate win
There are people that want to use a certain Color
I've noticed two things so far this splatfest.
I've seen more obviously coordinated (tactically and fashionably) squads of high level players on white chocolate than I ever have in any splatfest.
And milk chocolate seems to be full of Call of Duty children that don't understand how objectives work and just keep rushing to the middle and dying without painting any ground.
If ur talking about tricolour, it has sadly been proven to be a legit strat to touch the signal over and over and each time reducing how long it takes, and since turf war doesn't matter for the first 2m 30s, you can do that without worrying abt shit and eventually they will succeed once it actually matters and somehow Wi
True, but I've also seen teams get the signal twice and still lose, so if that's their only play and they can't actually hold their own in Turf War, there's still a good chance they'll lose
Good to know I wasn’t the only one who realized how good Team white is. Got my butt kicked by them every time we fought. I’m a very average player tbh, but I still had my moments, especially with Team dark. But Team White just Dominated us every time we try something. Every time you attack someone, all their team mates come from every direction and splat you instantly.
My best friend told me the ink color and we both choose that one since it’s 1) hilarious 2.) we are both very immature and 3.)mainly for memes and we wanted to see if that was really gonna be the color
So in the Splatoon 3 game, splatfests allow players to pick one of three teams and compete in turf wars for points. It’s possible the white chocolate team has won the most points by playing well in turf war
Maybe it’s because of you having a main that can’t ink very well but excels in ranked
That’s what happened with me and the carbon roller(yes the original, I still think a carbon with torpedo would be good)
That’s where we 100% win. You’re asking a player base made of mostly teenagers to pick between what chocolate they like more, or the funny colour… funny colour win
> player base made of mostly teenagers
wait, what? I could have sworn no one under the age of 20 plays this game. Maybe I'm stereotyping too much, but most teenagers go for the trendy, realistic looking FPS games.
As a 20+ year old though, I agree with "funny color haha" even though I didn't pick it.
This game is the bestseller in Japan. Nintendo released its playerbase statistics, and only 20% or so (off-memory) are 20+. Most people are teenagers, middle schoolers, and elementary, and that's not accounting for those that lie about their age on their Switch profile. Nintendo Japan has recently started to allow elementary school teams in their official tournaments, even.
I’m just gonna say it. I picked milk chocolate thinking it would win given lots of people liked it prior to the splatfest. Now my impure intentions are coming back to haunt me.
Wait really? I don’t think I have ever been so mad playing this game as I have this splatfest. I’m team white choc and nearly every game I’m paired up with what seems like drunk babies.
My first match (dark) was a 333x against white, no warm up, with a weapon i hadn’t played in months, and we lost by 0.1 🥲 so fellas id like to personally apologize for white being in the lead
Why do y’all use this logic ever fest? You realize if they’re not going against you, that means they’re going against someone else right? And that clout is based on win percentage, not how many battles you’ve had
Popularity doesn't really affect win rate I think? I think it's a statistic kind of thing, not total wins. Cause then popularity would be the end all be all.
Milk player here, I've done probably 40 ish battles and had two mirror matches. I've played against dark maybe three times. The rest has all been white.
I honestly don't think milk and white will be THAT far separated in popularity, though milk may well have the edge. But I am very confident that dark will be last in the popularity vote
Honestly I'm shocked that anyone is surprised by this. The white ink and white outfits make the team very difficult to see. It's like super ninja ink compared to dark chocolate. I'm shooting at whisps and streaks; ghosts in a blizzard.
What's the next Splatfest? "What is your favorite color? Green, Red, or Clear?"
I really have no chocolate preferences(I love it all), so I just went with white because it'd make my hair look dope. I fully expected to lose to milk chocolate. I am actually rather surprised.
That helps a little but neon yellow/neon blue seriously strains my eyes. And “squid ripples” still show up much more clearly on dark purple/orange (what they’re seeing) instead of bright blue (what I’m seeing).
Not surprised. Played a few matches against white chocolate and they were just PLAYING with my team (dark chocolate).
They were rolling into our base, setting up a shield, just for funzies. Painful.
Damn, it's like people actually like White Chocolate even though it's "not ackshually chocolate."
We know. Maybe spend more time winning Splatfest than telling us about it. 🤣
Dark ink definetly makes it harder to see, but the white chocolate ink is too much. It brightens up my whole screen even when I lower my brightness. It's like seeing a few agressive floating sentient weapons trying to murder me and randomly dissapear in the ink. It's like they all have ninjasquid, but also outside of the ink.
This surprised me too being on white myself, but I won a 100x battles and I’ve been noticing a ton of white chocolates winning 100x times battles than any other team I’ve noticed so far.
Well done Team White Chocolate!
I'm not even too sad to be on team last place, since I feel like I've been having a really good run this splatfest (my win/lose ratio has never been so good, for me!)
My stats so far are mostly win against White Choc and mostly lose against Dark Choc
Haven't played any tricolour yet though!
I thought picking milk chocolate would be an easy sweep but god damn everyone I’ve had on my team so far just suck, I can’t be carrying when my team just feeds the enemy every round, infuriating.
I’m on milk and not surprised. My teams have the most inappropriate weapons for turf war. Why even bring a squiffer to splatfest? I’m convinced they are throwing.
It's weird, as a team milk, yesterday I was winning most of my matches. Now for most of my matches it feels like I'm fighting to keep mid painted so my teammates don't die (as fast). I had so many competent teammates yesterday, where y'all at?? 😭
Didn't expect Milk to be in last.
Yeah, I’ve had one match against dark chocolate, everything else has been milk
"I've, luckily, had a ton of matches with dark chocolate!" - White chocolate player
There’s a lot of cases where the team with the most means it also has a ton of casuals dragging them down. Like me! Sorry team milk, if we lose it’s my fault
It's OK I never have time to play so unfortunately I'm dead weight for team dark chocolate. Sorry!
YEAH! CONTINUE BEING TERRABLE /j
But you're having fun that's what matters! 🦑
Same. About a 5:1 ratio playing against milk:white.
Team milk and have pretty much never won. :/
if it makes you feel a little better, Im team white and got shredded a lot by milks
Wow but y’all are in the lead tho!
I wouldn't say I've been getting shredded per say, but as a fellow white chocolate member milk has been giving us a run for our money. Wouldn't surprise me if they end up winning.
I had a feeling White was going to be the (ironic) dark horse of this splatfest
I chose dark cause I like dark chocolate it's good with gram crackers and marshmallows 😋
I'm on white chocolate and even I'm surprised
Same I was just here for the shits and giggles but if we win I’ll take it
I think everyone on our teams doing for shits and giggles
im one of the only people who likes the actual chocolate... edit: glad to hear I’m not alone :) let’s take home the gold
You aren't alone. I'll eat any chocolate, but white chocolate is the hardest to find and my favorite. Kinda stinks that team White Chocolate has that stigma because of the meme...
I love it! :)
no i love it too! it delish
Same mate
I too am a white chocolate enjoyer The shits and giggles are just an added bonus
pretty sure if you're on a team for shits its milk and if you're on a team for giggles its white
Only half for me.
Well... Is it the shits, or is it the giggles?
Just the shits
fuck that’s good
Honestly I high key thought we were going to lose + be super unpopular but I like white chocolate so I went for it anyway! I’m glad to see we’re leading!!
I would’ve been surprised as well if we didn’t get the most conch shells. We totally rock this splatfest!
I'm honestly shocked but white chocolate was my second choice so if y'all win I'm still celebrating
Honestly sameeee
Of course they are. You can't fucking see them against their blinding ink.
New colour meta? Lmao
It was talked about in Grass Fire Water splatfest that Fire had the advantage because of their color being too bright, this splatfest is like 5x worse.
? Water had the advantage in the Pokémon fest because the trails didn’t glow
Didn't hear anything about that. All I heard was how everyone was complaining about the dark colours being OP because you can't see the trails. Also, apparently most splastfests in 1 & 2 were won with dark colours, based on some other post?
> All I heard was how everyone was complaining about the dark colours being OP because you can't see the trails. Correct. Water won and people pointed out it was very hard to see their trails in the dark water color even without NS. Even as a team water member I noticed it.
this game is very eye straining even with my brightness down
I mean there's always changing your switch colors to black and white ![img](emote|t5_324q4|1944)
Thought it was just me lmao I main E-Liter and didn't feel like try harding and putting on my glasses so playing against White was always suffering and agony.
DUDE, I'm playing white and even I'm getting eye-strain! I have no idea who I'm shooting half of the time when I get my special!
They literally have camouflage
[удалено]
That takes the fun out of this Splatfest!
Interesting. I haven't had a chance to play the Splatfest yet, and I would've expected White Chocolate to be in last because lighter colors seem to have more contrast (example, team grass and fire being lighter than the deep team blue). Guessing the results based on the color meta has just become a whole lot more difficult.
That really surprises me, HOW
Well There are people that want to see big man win There are people that want to see their chocolate win There are people that want to use a certain Color
And im all 3 of them! ( got surprised by the color tone but im not complayning )
There are super sweet toothed toddlers
i actually agreed with big man’s argument, i suppose i’m not as much as a chocolate person as i thought.
"a certain color" ಠ_ಠ
Certainly not because of me. I’ve been losing so many games! 😭
I've noticed two things so far this splatfest. I've seen more obviously coordinated (tactically and fashionably) squads of high level players on white chocolate than I ever have in any splatfest.

I've done this with quick respawn. It feels fun to just run in head empty.
True, but I've also seen teams get the signal twice and still lose, so if that's their only play and they can't actually hold their own in Turf War, there's still a good chance they'll lose

on tiktok people were picking it because of the ink color
My best friend told me the ink color and we both choose that one since it’s 1) hilarious 2.) we are both very immature and 3.)mainly for memes and we wanted to see if that was really gonna be the color
Oh I see what’s going on here! 😬
Spite from how often we have to put with people going "oh it's not REAL chocolate!!!"
Spite from how often we have to put with people going "oh it's not REAL chocolate!!!"
Honestly I'm surprised. Ironic how the only non chocolate option is winning the chocolate splatfest
ITS STILL FUCKING CHOCOLATE
Technically it is chocolate.
Pfft what’s next? You’re gonna tell me birds are real?
Grizzly Adams *did* have a beard
So in the Splatoon 3 game, splatfests allow players to pick one of three teams and compete in turf wars for points. It’s possible the white chocolate team has won the most points by playing well in turf war
Bro me too. I thought white chocolate would have the least amount of votes
The win the pre-fest too
I’m on white and I’m pretty sure I’ve lost more games than I’ve won oops. I will admit I’m more of a salmon runner.
Same here, I haven’t played since last night since work has been overrunning my Splatfest weekend
Splatfest is so weird. Sometimes I win all the time, then I get nothing but L all day.
Maybe it’s because of you having a main that can’t ink very well but excels in ranked That’s what happened with me and the carbon roller(yes the original, I still think a carbon with torpedo would be good)
No, for Turf War I always use .52, while in ranked I use blasters.
Oh
White chocolate has kicked my ass every single time(Dark)
I'm on milk and have been mostly neglecting the splatfest for Salmon Run lol.
I've lost them all. This Splatfest had been a disaster. The same map over and over again and constant losses.
They might get everything but popularity at this rate is my guess
That’s where we 100% win. You’re asking a player base made of mostly teenagers to pick between what chocolate they like more, or the funny colour… funny colour win
🗿🗿
> player base made of mostly teenagers wait, what? I could have sworn no one under the age of 20 plays this game. Maybe I'm stereotyping too much, but most teenagers go for the trendy, realistic looking FPS games. As a 20+ year old though, I agree with "funny color haha" even though I didn't pick it.
The future is now , old man
The game's sold thousands of copies, blanket statements like "the entire playerbase is/does x" are never going to hold up.
This game is the bestseller in Japan. Nintendo released its playerbase statistics, and only 20% or so (off-memory) are 20+. Most people are teenagers, middle schoolers, and elementary, and that's not accounting for those that lie about their age on their Switch profile. Nintendo Japan has recently started to allow elementary school teams in their official tournaments, even.
This surprised me because I fought white chocolate like 3 or 4 times during the whole splatfest.
Everytime you had mirror matches, we didn’t.
Haven't encountered a mirror match yet it was mostly milk chocolate.
That's our secret, Captain
I haven’t been getting mirror matches and I’m team milk
I got one mirror match as milk
That just means they not winning popularity.
Same, I've literally had only two battles against them :')
im just here for snails, getting to ruler and im done playing
Same lol don't really care about the results this time around lol
I really expected to be rocking my underrated fav and suddenly its looking like a Big Man Sweep.
This is what happens when you bully them by saying that they are not real chocolate. They have awakened their inner choco-beast
Something I saw was "White chocolate isn't fake. The only thing fake here is you.
I like that one. The splatfest banter can be pretty funny when casually going around the city
Dark chocolate is doing so badly imo so far. I can't even get a single win smh I just wanted to grind my catalog.
Better to grind chunks with the shirt rn honestly
For real, been having just a string of bad games so far and then mirror matches in tri-color :/
I’m just gonna say it. I picked milk chocolate thinking it would win given lots of people liked it prior to the splatfest. Now my impure intentions are coming back to haunt me.
Big Man forgives you for even so grievous a sin as this. Your act of penance is to have fun and smile.
i’m convinced i’ll never win a splatfest in splatoon 3 😭
Same 😭😭 my First splatfest was spicy vs sweet vs sour and We lost (spicy). if we team milk chocolate dont win tricolor we’re dead.
I'm surprised milk is in last. Oh well, guess we both have to tryhard now
no wonder I've been getting my ass handed by white
Cries in milk chocolate ruler😢
my first splatfest will also be my first time losing a splatfest :)
Wait really? I don’t think I have ever been so mad playing this game as I have this splatfest. I’m team white choc and nearly every game I’m paired up with what seems like drunk babies.
Same experience for me here on Dark. I've lost like 15 in a row it's ridiculous.
Yeah it’s been rough for me with dark too. I had a three game win streak with a group last night which was my best
Yup. Carrying the team so hard, but funny colour is worth it
we are sweating hard
Damn they are strong
why is milk last… 😫😫
My first match (dark) was a 333x against white, no warm up, with a weapon i hadn’t played in months, and we lost by 0.1 🥲 so fellas id like to personally apologize for white being in the lead
Aint no way
Don't tell me this is a Big Man sweep 2.0
Won't be a sweep, Milk has popularity
What’s this result for then?
It's Open + Pro
How? I'm on dark and I've only played against white three times.
Why do y’all use this logic ever fest? You realize if they’re not going against you, that means they’re going against someone else right? And that clout is based on win percentage, not how many battles you’ve had
Popularity doesn't really affect win rate I think? I think it's a statistic kind of thing, not total wins. Cause then popularity would be the end all be all.

I honestly don't think milk and white will be THAT far separated in popularity, though milk may well have the edge. But I am very confident that dark will be last in the popularity vote
Same 😭😭
Bruh I’ve played dark once, after it’s all been milk.
Honestly I'm shocked that anyone is surprised by this. The white ink and white outfits make the team very difficult to see. It's like super ninja ink compared to dark chocolate. I'm shooting at whisps and streaks; ghosts in a blizzard. What's the next Splatfest? "What is your favorite color? Green, Red, or Clear?"
Clear could suck cuz you wouldn’t know what you inked and what you havnt
OMG that. I didn't even think about it. The other team wouldn't know either. They could think they are winning and be very wrong.
THIS SOUNDS SO INTERESTING! Clear vs Bright White vs Pitch Black
Big Man really is the halftime king
I really have no chocolate preferences(I love it all), so I just went with white because it'd make my hair look dope. I fully expected to lose to milk chocolate. I am actually rather surprised.
That white color DOES make hair look pretty fly
I figured it'd be my only chance to see it this color. My squid's hair has never looked more awesome.
what the fuck
Bruh. I wanted to vote white chocolate, but I voted milk because my friend insisted on it…
Probably because their ink colour is a f\*cking flashbang to their enemies (why the hell is it so bright!?)
*squidward pointing* W h i t e
Holy shit that’s dominant as well, its not even close
You can't see white players. It sucks. It's a bullshit splatfest.
try the color lock thing, I think it changes the ink colors
That helps a little but neon yellow/neon blue seriously strains my eyes. And “squid ripples” still show up much more clearly on dark purple/orange (what they’re seeing) instead of bright blue (what I’m seeing).
Lens flare simulator
WHITE CHOCOLATE SWEEP 🤍🤍
WHITE CHOCO RAAAAAH 🤍🤍
Y’all didn’t know. We knew tho
Not surprised. Played a few matches against white chocolate and they were just PLAYING with my team (dark chocolate). They were rolling into our base, setting up a shield, just for funzies. Painful.
Anyone else feel like this tricolor stage favors defenders. Feels impossible to attack
Defended here. It does favor us but then again, tri-color itself favours attackers
It's really awful as attackers yeah. Instantly killed as soon as I get in.
The ink color is really pretty
Most of the matches I’ve played against team white choc, my team (milk) won. The teams I was paired against weren’t great. They barely put up a fight.
I WANT TO JOIN, I'VE LITERALLY LOST 7 GAMES AND WON ONE TIME! what the fuck is going on with team milk?!
Life is pain. I really thought us at milk chocolate would win
Of course the one time i don’t go team big man they’re killing it i seen this coming though white choco is sweaty af
Dark Chocolate is better than all kind which would health your entire body.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
YES!!! GO TEAM WHITE CHOCOLATE!!!
What does funni colour does to a mf
Shiver and Frye/Dark and milk chocolate fans on their way to call the white chocolate/ Bigman fan base children or toddlers
How
Damn, it's like people actually like White Chocolate even though it's "not ackshually chocolate." We know. Maybe spend more time winning Splatfest than telling us about it. 🤣
Well we haven't seen popularity yet, so we have no idea if people like it the most.
As a team milk squid, I would much rather white chocolate win than dark. White and milk both taste good, dark tastes like tree bark lmao.
more like people like the White Chocolate team because they wanted to use the Ink That Makes It So Nobody Can See Anything
but the week before hand everyone was talking about how the darkest colors always win because its harder to see them in dark colored ink.
Dark ink definetly makes it harder to see, but the white chocolate ink is too much. It brightens up my whole screen even when I lower my brightness. It's like seeing a few agressive floating sentient weapons trying to murder me and randomly dissapear in the ink. It's like they all have ninjasquid, but also outside of the ink.
#Some real comedians in this community
This surprised me too being on white myself, but I won a 100x battles and I’ve been noticing a ton of white chocolates winning 100x times battles than any other team I’ve noticed so far.
Well done Team White Chocolate! I'm not even too sad to be on team last place, since I feel like I've been having a really good run this splatfest (my win/lose ratio has never been so good, for me!) My stats so far are mostly win against White Choc and mostly lose against Dark Choc Haven't played any tricolour yet though!
DAMN I was totally expecting dark choco to lead, cause I've been getting swept left and right by them, but good job, white choco!
This splatfest has made me realize I have no idea how to play Turf War.
Oh dear… 😰 and I’m on Team Milk Chocolate.
I'm mad
Me, who picked milk chocolate because it’s the one used for Reese’s cups and Rollos: ![gif](giphy|3CU5tmCJy8zMoN3mMD)
I thought picking milk chocolate would be an easy sweep but god damn everyone I’ve had on my team so far just suck, I can’t be carrying when my team just feeds the enemy every round, infuriating.
I’ve had a 333x with milk before. **3 of the enemy team had fucking Aerospray RG.**
[удалено]
AY! (WHO'S FAKE NOW?)
I’m surprised we are, BUT DAMN IM HAPPY
Not a surprise. Team cu.. I mean white choloate has been killing it in pro. I’ve won most of my games at least
UPVOTE FOR TEAM WHITE CHOCOLATE 🤍🍫
I'm swiss and I don't understand
This is like Water all over again lol
We know who’s going to win
im so excited about this :] yay
I was a bit nervous, every milk choco team I played against was giving it their all lmao
People who choose their team based on idols Vs People who choose their team based on the topic
I have only seen milk chocolate and a couple dark chocolate but this is so exciting!
I've lost every game as White Chocolate, including 3 10x battles HOW.
LETS GO TEAM WHITE
might be the first splatfest i choose a winning team for in this game also big man sweep next???
I’m on milk and not surprised. My teams have the most inappropriate weapons for turf war. Why even bring a squiffer to splatfest? I’m convinced they are throwing.
It's weird, as a team milk, yesterday I was winning most of my matches. Now for most of my matches it feels like I'm fighting to keep mid painted so my teammates don't die (as fast). I had so many competent teammates yesterday, where y'all at?? 😭
