Fans fought valiantly during this Splatfest, with the fights being particularly tumultuous, as the amount of 10x modifier battles was increased, and all priorTri-Color Turf War mapsreturned in a random rotation for the special Splatfest. When the Splatfest began, the initial report revealed Frye’s team entered in the lead as having earned the most Conch Shells during the Sneak Peek.

While it might be surprising to already see a Splatfest of the idols against each other, it’s also arrived at a time when the fanbase was feeling the strain ofDeep Cut idol Shiverwinning over the others numerous times. Prior to the launch of this Splatfest, Shiver’s team had won the last four consecutive Splatfests, and six overall. With Big Man only bringing home two wins and Frye just one, fans of those idols have been frustrated by Shiver’s repeated wins. This Splatfest helped to serve as a way to see if the community could come together to create an upset, but ultimately, Shiver’s supporters brought it home once more.
With Drizzle Season 2023 underway, fans should have a fair amount to keep them busy as they progress through the season’s catalog. However, fans are continuing to wonder when Nintendo will reveal more about theSide Order DLC. With any luck, more information and a release date will arrive shortly.
