Description

Splatoon

In Splatoon, Splatfests were recurring events hosted past the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie. During this event, Inklings were able to choose between 2 teams and participate in battles against each other. Inklings were limited to two colors during the Splatfest, reflecting which side they were on. The clothing section of the equip screen too became locked and all players were forced to clothing the Splatfest Tee, which changed in colour and pattern based on an Inkling's called team, although they could still change hats, shoes, and weapons. Inkopolis Plaza and all the stages were decorated with a flood of Miiverse posts from the Splatfest/Festival tag on the Splatoon community, some of which took the class of neon signs, banners, and fifty-fifty fireworks. Nighttime also descended over Inkopolis and all Turf War stages. Fireworks went off periodically in the Plaza, and specks of light resembling fireflies or fire embers could exist seen rising into the sky. Both Callie and Marie danced throughout the entire duration of this event, singing and dancing to City of Color.

For the most part, each Splatfest lasted 24 hours, during which time the region involved was isolated and Splatfest players would only face off confronting players from their ain region. Meanwhile, all other regions continued to play amongst each other. A few choice Splatfests deviated from these rules. Super Ocean Snails were awarded to participating players upon Splatfest'south conclusion.

Splatoon 2

Splatfests returned in Splatoon two, now hosted by Off the Hook'due south members, Pearl and Marina. Besides this, the construction was largely the aforementioned. Although Miiverse is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 2's exclusive drawing feature allows for players to submit doodles that appear in-game every bit neon signs, banners, fireworks, or graffiti, also as upload doodles to social media accounts. Inkopolis Square is busy similarly to Inkopolis Plaza in the commencement game and all areas once more get locked in nighttime as Pearl and Marina perform Colour Pulse in Inkopolis Square.

In a like vein to Callie vs. Marie, Anarchy vs. Order (as well known as Final Fest: Splatocalypse) was heavily promoted as Splatoon two's final Splatfest, featuring many special and unique characteristics, and would influence events of the sequel. Despite that, 2020 would run across 4 boosted Splatfests hosted after a year of inactivity, during the COVID-nineteen pandemic, giving players further amusement during lockdown. The first three additional Splatfests were rematches of previous Splatfests, with largely unchanged dialogue.^[c] Dialogue from the fourth (and simply original) additional Splatfest, Super Mushroom vs. Super Star, did briefly mention how the Splatocalypse was meant to be the terminal Splatfest with no mention of the previous three rematches, suggesting they were non-canonical.

Splatoon iii

Splatfests are at present hosted by Shiver, Frye, and Big Man of Deep Cut in Splatoon 3. They all parade through Splatsville for the elapsing of the Splatfest, which are now a battle betwixt iii dissimilar teams, each represented past a unlike member. Each member has their ain float, even so they all combine to form one big stage that remains stationary later the Halftime Report.

Equally Splatoon 3 does non have dissever regional versions like previous games, players are instead given the pick to set a Splatfest Region. The available Splatfest Regions and their respective languages are as follows:

Japan
- Japanese
Americas, Australia, and New Zealand ^[d]
- English
- French (Canada)
- Spanish (Latin America)
Europe
- English
- Dutch
- French (French republic)
- German
- Italian
- Russian
- Castilian (Kingdom of spain)
Hong Kong and South Korea
- English
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Korean

Players are able to alter their region freely before Splatfests begin, but will not be able to change it for a menses of fourth dimension if irresolute it once a Splatfest has begun. If a player's panel is ready to a language that is non available in their Splatfest Region, and so Splatfest-related text will announced in a different language, such equally Anarchy Splatcast broadcasts and Splatfest teams.

In Splatoon 3, battles played between the time the Splatfest is announced and when information technology begins, known every bit the Splatfest Sneak Peek, also contribute to the last results.

Grooming

Earlier a Splatfest begins, Inkopolis Plaza, Inkopolis Square and Splatsville experience a variety of visual upgrades to prepare for the event. Ane calendar week earlier a Splatfest in Splatoon, a voting booth appeared side by side to the Miiverse mailbox and the event's theme was announced by Callie and Marie during their Inkopolis News segment. Pearl and Marina similarly announce the event's theme a week prior during their Off the Claw segment in Splatoon two, while the voting berth appears in the Square. The same is true for Splatoon 3, where Deep Cutting will announce the theme approximately a calendar week before the Splatfest begins. The voting booth will also appear at this time.

Players receive a themed Splatfest Tee, a piece of gear that is clothing just until the Splatfest ends when they join a team. Two days before a Splatfest in Splatoon, neon signs adorned with upwards and downwards pointing arrows appeared on walls and buildings, and the twenty-four hour period before information technology took identify, the Plaza became noticeably more crowded and 2 large trucks supporting phase scaffolding appeared in the area's center.

In Splatoon 2, ane day before the Splatfest, a big performance phase appears in the Square, to a higher place the entrance to the battle lobby. On the belfry behind the phase is a screen displaying the 2 contesting teams' mascots. In that location are also large black lattice boards, which, later on, become the area where posts are featured in the form of neon signs.

In Splatoon 3, floats for Deep Cutting will brainstorm to appear around the urban center at the aforementioned fourth dimension as the annunciation. In add-on, a T-shirt booth along with the Splatfest voting board appears almost the spawn point. Metal framing with neon signs and small flags also appear scattered around Splatsville, featuring posts seen in the city. two days before the Splatfest, the fourth dimension of day in Splatsville will change to evening. The entrance of the Battle Lobby gains a wooden frame around information technology as well as various lanterns. 1 twenty-four hour period earlier the Splatfest, the music heard near the Battle Lobby changes to be more than festival-similar and more lanterns appear, the torii gate-like structure well-nigh the spawn volition commencement shining rainbow neon lights.

During a Splatfest, Regular and Ranked Battle options are not available, as they are temporarily replaced by the Splatfest Battle choice; even so, Private Battles and Salmon Run tin still be accessed.^[two]

Modes

"	Oh, while you lot're deciding, we accept more Splatfest findings to share. It seems there are two types of Splatfest battles: Open and Pro. Choose Open to squad upwardly with your friends or play solo confronting randoms. Pro way is serious business for solo players merely. You can try both!	"
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter^[3]

In Splatoon two, there are two ways to enter Splatfest Battles as of Version 4.0.0: Normal and Pro. Normal mode lets the role player either commencement solo or battle with two to 4 friends by joining together in a private antechamber before choosing to find other random players. Players from the same team can keep beingness matched upwards together in the same entrance hall if they cull to go on after the cease of a match. Pro mode works identically to how Solo mode worked earlier this version; the actor cannot team up with friends and is automatically matched with iii other players. Players from the same squad are not matched upward in the same vestibule after a match.

Before Version 4.0.0, there were two other options for Splatfest Battles: Solo and Squad. Solo mode worked like Splatfests in Splatoon; the player was automatically matched with three other players and battled against groups of four random players from the opposing team. However, equally opposed to the original game, players from the aforementioned team were not automatically matched upward in the aforementioned lobby after a match. Team way required four players (that must be friends with someone from the aforementioned squad who is in the lobby) to bring together a private lobby before beingness matched up against another team of four.^[4]

In Splatoon 3, in that location are iii different Splatfest Boxing modes, Open, Pro, and Tricolor. Open and Pro are available for the entirety of the Splatfest, while Tricolor is only available after the Halftime Report. Open and Pro function identically to Normal and Pro mode in Splatoon two. Players that chose Tricolor volition play a Tricolor Turf State of war, with the attackers and defenders for the match existence random, if the leading team at the Halftime Written report is the defending team during the match, the winning team will receive a ane.5x clout bonus. Pro mode is unaffected by the Halftime Report, and Tricolor Turf Wars will not occur there.

Prior to Version 2.0.0, merely members of the 2nd and 3rd place teams could select the Tricolor Boxing way, where they were guaranteed to be on the attacking teams. The leading team would randomly play a Tricolor Boxing when selecting Open style, where they would always on the defending squad.

Mechanics

Splatfest Power

Splatfest Power Level of the squad shown before starting a Splatfest Turf War.

Chief commodity: Power level

Splatfest Power was a feature introduced in Version ii.6.0 of Splatoon as a fashion of tracking players' skill during Splatfests, replacing the Vibe meter. While Splatfest matchmaking was previously based on play styles, players were then matched based on similar Splatfest Power levels. It was initially determined by one'south Rank and may rise or fall depending on how well one did in battles.

After each Splatfest Battle, players on the winning team got roughly ten points toward their Splatfest Power and the losing team lost roughly x, depending on the deviation between the two teams' Splatfest power level, while the thespian on the winning squad with the highest Splatfest Power gained an boosted 1 to two points.

The top 100 players with the highest Splatfest Power were shown on SplatNet and on the social network sites of Splatoon.

Splatfest Power returned in Splatoon two, where the histrion'south initial Splatfest Power was based on their performance in their start seven matches. The pinnacle 100 players are displayed in SplatNet 2 and can be viewed under each Splatfest event. As of Version 5.iii.one, to adjust fairness in matchmaking and to forbid improper beliefs, the names and levels of all players in a friction match are non shown on the anteroom waiting screen and are replaced with question marks if the actor's Splatfest Power is above 2,200. Due to this, players are able to boxing confronting people blocked in their Nintendo Switch system settings as long as their power is also this high.

Splatfest Ability returned in Splatoon three, working similarly to Splatoon ii. The actor's Splatfest Power is based in their functioning in the kickoff vii matches. Still, the Splatfest Power is just available on Splatfest Battle Pro. On SplatNet 3 after the results of an Splatfest are in, the Splatfest Elevation 100 is now available, based on the players Splatfest Ability.

Clout

Ascendancy is a mechanic introduced in version iv.0.0 of Splatoon 2 that is used to make up one's mind the winner in Splatfests as opposed to strictly using the win rate. Clout is counted separately for 2 of the bachelor Splatfest Battle modes, Normal and Pro. Contesting against the same Splatfest team does non contribute to the Ascendancy score.

In Normal manner, players can multiply their Clout by a factor of upward to ×2.0 based on the Synergy Bonus they get if they win the lucifer. Synergy Bonuses are earned by having matching gear, weapons, and advent, which are also tied into the team names players get during Splatfests. An example of the highest possible Synergy bonus would be if all 4 players were Inkling boys with the ponytail hairstyle and dressed in the Soccer Headband, Blue Sea Slugs and Aerospray PG. The nickname will be "The Ponytail Soccerband Blue Sea Slug Bronze Aero gang."

Conditions	Synergy Bonus factor
Either hairstyle, gender, or species matching	+ 0.1×
Main weapon type matching	+ 0.two×
Sub weapons matching	+ 0.2×
Special weapons matching	+ 0.2×
All unlike main weapon types	+ 0.two×
Simply two master weapons matching	+ 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching)
Only three main weapons matching	+ 0.two× (Counts simply for the teammates matching)
All main weapons matching	+ 0.three×
Headgear genre matching	+ 0.ii×
Headgear brand matching	+ 0.2×
Merely two headgear matching	+ 0.1× (Counts merely for the teammates matching)
Only three headgear matching	+ 0.2× (Counts just for the teammates matching)
All headgear matching	+ 0.3×
Shoe genre matching	+ 0.2×
Shoe brand matching	+ 0.2×
Only 2 shoes matching	+ 0.i× (Counts only for the teammates matching)
Only three shoes matching	+ 0.two× (Counts only for the teammates matching)
All shoes matching	+ 0.3×

^[5]

The multiplier begins at ×i.0, where each matching element adds to the cistron. For example, if a team has all matching hairstyles and all matching shoes, they will get a Synergy Bonus of ×1.0 + ×0.1 + ×0.3 = ×1.iv.

10x, 100×, and 333x Battles

SRL checking in now that the Splatfest is live. Did you know that a 10x Boxing tin can randomly occur? Our Stats dept. is still calculating the probability of one happening, merely if you see i, become fix to splat with everything you've got - you could earn 10x the Clout!

Winning a 10x Battle also earns everyone on your squad a festival beat. And if yous team up with other players with lots of festival shells, the odds of triggering a 100x Boxing increase! What happens if both teams trigger a 100x Battle at the same time? An ultra-rare 333x Boxing!

At present, if you play in a 100x or a 333x Battle, you'll lose all your festival shells. But isn't it worth it for a gamble at all that Clout? (Trust us - it is.) Plus, 100x or 333x winners will also get a Splatfest Star to a higher place their nickname for the rest of the Splatfest. Then cool!

— @SplatoonNA on Twitter^[6] ^[7] ^[8]

Normal, Open, and Pro modes occasionally feature 10×, 100× and 333× Battles, where the Ascendancy score is multiplied by a factor of ten, 100 or 333 if the team won.

In Splatoon 2, 100× Battles occurred every ten minutes at their introduction, but around June 2019 were changed to occur every five minutes,^[9] while ten× Battles occur more frequently. The 100× Battle rate was later on increased again in celebration of Final Fest, where approximately 10 100× Battles tin happen in a minute. This increased rate was all the same in place for the special encore Splatfests that were held subsequently and the Super Mushroom vs. Super Star Splatfest.^[ten] ^[11] The Synergy Bonus is rounded to the nearest integer before the 10× or 100× bonus is applied. Losing a 10× or 100× Battle adds no bonus to Clout.

They function slightly differently in Splatoon 3. Here, x× Battles are much more common and will reward the winning players with festival shells. These increment the odds of a 100× Battle occurring. 333× Battles can rarely occur if both teams manage to activate a 100× Boxing at in one case, with the odds increasing depending on how many festival shells each histrion has. When winning a 100× or 333× Battle, the winning team will perform a unique victory animation. 10×, 100×, and 333× battles can not occur during a Tricolor Turf War.

In Splatoon 2, the winners of both 10× and 100× battles are featured in a newsflash that is displayed equally text in the anteroom, as text on the SplatNet 2 app, and as an paradigm on the Splatfest booth in the Square. Images of 100× winners are as well displayed on SplatNet 2. Newsflashes of players that win a 100× Boxing are displayed for all players of their Splatfest, while newsflashes of players that win a 10× Battle are displayed for themselves and their friends who are playing during the aforementioned Splatfest. If a player won a 100× Battle, the newsflash of their victory would display on their session for around half an 60 minutes before displaying winners of other battles. The news images of the winners from these battles showed the players hit different poses, where the winners from a 100× Boxing would be holding a large cheque.

In Splatoon iii, every bit of the Version two.0.0 update, the winners of 10×, 100×, and 333× battles appear at their pledge box in one case again. A new feature was also added that allows 100× and 333× boxing winners to board a parade float with their team to take commemorative pictures.^[12]

Splatfest squad names

Main article: Splatfest team names

Splatoon 2 's Version 4.0.0 introduced special team names for private teams of iv (not to exist confused with the overall Splatfest squad) which were assigned if the whole team has matching gear, weapons, or advent.

Splatfest team names are separated into 5 main categories, each of which has i slot in the final team name, pregnant in that location can but be upwards to five proper name parts in a team proper noun. Under these categories are a number of sub-serial that determine what the displayed name unit of measurement should be if there are more matching properties within a category.

Master category	Sub-series and priority
Headgear	Headgear proper noun > make > genre
Shoes	Shoe name > brand > genre
Weapons	Chief weapons > specials ? subs ? weapon types ? different weapon types^[e]
Histrion customization	Hairstyles > species > gender
Group name	(Automatically assigned if the player has any of the previous categories)

For example, if anybody on the squad has matching hairstyles, species, and gender, the game will only choose the hairstyle for the team's proper name. If a team only has matching species and gender, the game will choose species for the team's proper name.

The Synergy Bonus and Splatfest squad names are closely related equally they are both determined by the same factors, just not everything that warrants a Synergy Bonus has an equivalent team name. Some bonuses are earned past just having 2 or 3 teammates with matching backdrop, while Splatfest team names are just earned if all teammates lucifer.

Reward Tiers

Super Bounding main Snails are awarded to participants based on the size of their squad, matches won, and ground covered, which dictate each actor's Splatfest Title.
