Team Money Claims Victory In Splatoon 3's Priorities-Themed Splatfest

By love do they mean romance or making whoopee?

This is Money vs Love all over again. Money vs Love is a traditional splatfest at this point.

Big Man representing love is perfect!

love. Ive seen firsthand that a lack of it and an abundance of money doesnt lead to happiness (at least money, dont personally know any famous people myself though).

Cheat the system and use money to invest in both fame and love. But props to big man for finally getting an appealing team side lol

All-in on Big Man, Team Love! Although I'd probably go with Money out of those 3 choices.

#TeamMoney!
C'mon Shiver! Delivery us another win!

Splatoon fans will go nuts if “Love Wins”

It's like they always say, love wins, girls!

FAME! I’m gunna live forever! 🎶

Money, of course. With money, you can pursue more of your interests to achieve something great (fame) and maybe even meet someone along the way (love).

Thats a pretty lame theme in my opinion

I see the devs really want Shiver to keep winning.

They keep giving Frye the worst options

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

With love you can become famous and then get money!
TEAM LOVE ALL THE WAY!!!!

This is the first Splatfest in 3 where I'm actually not sure what team I'm picking right out the gate. My gut wants to go with love since, despite only having experience with the platonic kind, my close friends are some of the most important people and have helped me through quite a bit over the last while. But on the other hand, as others here have mentioned, fame includes leaving behind a legacy and I would like to be remembered preferably for a good reason after I die. But then money can be used to gain fame so that's potentially better option since that gives you freedom on how you become famous... GAH I genuinely don't know what to pick, gonna have to think on this one.
pretty much @Fizza summed it up perfectly with "the existentialism splatfest"

Don't let Shiver win again! Four is too much! Go Love!

Ok I’m gonna analyze this closely.
Fame sounds good and all but having too much fame will lead to paparazzi’s never leaving you alone.
And while money sounds good (GAMES EVERY DAY BABY!!!) You would also probably end up having people constantly hounding you for money.
Love however will make you happy with the least amount of drawbacks so I’m gonna go with love.

Money lmao I can buy more furuta choco Mario eggs cost a fortune now

All those I love big men plaza posts are finally getting team big man love!

"Wealth, fame, power. Big Man, king of the squids, attained everything this world has to offer."

Mind tricks don't work on me, only money!

Forget what I said earlier. Go Money!

Sweet! For once, it will be on a weekend where I don't have to work. All the previous Splatfests happened on weekends where I had to work for half of it (and my shifts are ten hours long, so if you count only waking hours, that's almost half the weekend).

Anyway, I'll be choosing love. I'm a romantic at heart, after all.

Go team money!

@TheHighGround well, the Jedi did banish love. So..

I chose money because Shiver has a lot of "simps" as the kids say. Lol

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE BIG MAN LOVE

I mean...money, obviously money

We've got to have... MONEY!

it's chiche' but love all day long. I've gotten by on barely any money at times in my life. but without love there is no way I could've. Have you ever put in a cheatcode in a game and regretted it? I bet that's what infinite money feels like, nothing is special when you can have everything. Everyone deserves the right to eat, be warm and have a few treats every month, any more than that and it just becomes excessive. And fame? no thanks I'd rather have my secrets and regrets privately rather than see them plastered on a front page.

I'm not even playing this splatfest, just popped in to show my age, haha xD

#TeamMrKrabsAllTheWay!........I like Money.

We’ll see if love conquers all!

Team Money all the way!

Show me the money! Money is a tool that opens doors and allows for freedom. Once you have that and know how to manage your money anything else you want/need will follow.

That being said I would be on Frye’s team no matter what.

Team money all the way! 💰💰💰

Shiver wins four in a row? Sure. GO MONEY!!!

I am team relax and not get anxiety get to you

Congratulations Team Money. It was a fun Splatfest, as usual. I fought for Team Love and we won three x10 fights.

Money wins over Love... oh Splatoon you're supposed to be a break from the awful realities of the real world not a reminder.

"Is there still anything Love can do?" - Radwimps

After I got to know splatoon fans, I opted out

I was busy with our tiny splatfest in Obakeidoro, me and about 5 people from Japan who still play this game, big shoutout.

I knew Team Money was going to win, because seemingly all of the best players pick Shiver no matter what. That being said, I still went with Team Love since that's what my family values more. I'll probably pick Shiver for representing topics I don't care about either way, but the point is to pick the side you want to fight for, right? I'm still glad I went for Team Love. I had a great time playing with my kid and that's my win at the end of the day.

I chose Love - Think I only played against Money 3 times, the rest of the time were Mirror matches, which lead me to believe Love would clearly win the popularity vote.
Still missing the Splatfest specific maps... slightly amended rotation stages feels like a bit of a cop-out

Of course, money will win. Fame and love can only be accomplished, if you have money.

Man, just like with how the Zelda-themed Splatfest from a few months ago went (when Power won over Wisdom and Courage), I honestly lament what people really value in life.

If more people value Money and Power over things like Wisdom and Love, I truly wonder if there is any hope for humanity to realize what is REALLY important in life.

Otherwise, we'll actually end up just like the humans did in the Splatoon universe: a distant memory, with our last remaining artifacts being ancient ruins.

Actually aggravating that Shiver keeps winning. She's won 6 fests now while Frye and Big Man, combined, won only half that. Something needs to change. This is stupid annoying.

Next Splatfest I'll still pick my preferred choice even if it's Shiver and I'll still do my best, but I'll still root for the other teams to win instead because Shiver needs to stop already.

@Fizza Which is frankly sad, if you ask me. If people keep pursuing instant gratification, it will only lead to more selfishness, entitlement, and conflict, which does not spell well for humanity.

Don’t like the winners vibe of 3d splat so far. Power money sweet white chocolate nessie. Euh kids do right wing. Cringe. Dream a little.

@sikthvash Yeah, I was honestly wondering what was going on, with Team Love (which I was also on) kept playing against itself, even in the Tricolor Battles. It made me wonder if we were ahead. If anything, I was playing more against my own team than I was against the other teams.

Huh?

For something to be important don't you have to "like/love" it first? You have to love money or fame to an extent to have it as an obsession.

@AstroTheGamosian For a game that constantly "posts" LGBTQ, you'd think love would win.

@RareFan Ya sure, I gave $5 to my mom just for a hug.

I kind of wonder why fame was even an option. Don't most famous people have money? 😅

Money wins!! Yet another win to add to the win streak for me.

The idols never play any factor in what team I pick btw. It's just that all of my current problems and struggles would be instantly solved with money so, that's what I value most atm.

Of course I would like love as well down the line but that can wait.

I'm from a third world country, so money was always the best option. Love or fame doesn't build house made out of laminas.

Take your hat off, boy, it's a dollar bill!!

@Vivianeat I don't know about that, but I was honestly hoping that people would really go for Team Love.

But it shows that people are more concerned about attaining wealth and power (going back to the Zelda-themed Splatfest a few months ago) than they are about attaining wisdom and love.

Which, if anything, makes me more upset than losing yet another Splatfest. Greed and a lust for power are the root causes for all that is wrong with the world from antiquity to today, being responsible for all of the suffering that humanity has endured throughout history.

That more people think that those are the more important values in life than those who value meaningful connections and the ability to make wise choices truly breaks my heart.

All hail our mighty wafu Shiver!

@Vortexeo many Influencers are broke and pretending to have money. So fame doesn’t always equal money now.

GGs to Love and to Money for the win. And also to my fellow Fame Pros for generating a healthy amount of clout with one of the highest spreads for the Pro category that I’ve seen to date. Too bad I couldn’t deliver the wins I wanted. However, I finally got into, and won, my first x100! So I was able to help Fame get some points at least. But also too bad it was the last battle before Splatfest finished and I didn’t get to go on top of the floats for screenshots. That x100, plus three x10’s, the most special battles I’ve had so far in Splatoon 3, helps out my theory that underdog team picking gives better chances on getting those special battles. Oh, and of course, few to no mirror matches.

Lastly, the Eeltail layout for Defenders was way worse than Sturgeon Shipyard. It came complete with a pit (low ground) and only slightly walled off on one side (left side of the pit) leaving the right side and center perfect for ambushes from attackers on the right, and barely any exclusive turf for defenders, while Attackers had fields of turf to keep and charge specials in. Seriously, who thought this was ok?

@Fizza Then I could probably have used you on my teams as most of my team mates were likely deep into the favorite idol Splatfest pick with Frye. So much so that wet paper bags stood a chance against them, I wish I was kidding.

@Vortexeo You can always look back on historical figures, inventors, military heroes, and world record holders. You can be famous for doing things without necessarily being rich.

We've got to have... MONEY!

Awesome Splatfest all, great matches. Got my first 100X Victory in Splatoon 3.

Just hope the next Splatfest is more balanced regarding choices. Frye/Fame got only around 09% of votes.

Gg to everyone but honestly this was a pretty terrible Splatfest, too many mirror matches and the tricolor map was awful

It’s a pretty fun move to pick the obvious underdog choice. You never are bummed because of mirror matches. Tri colour usually works quite a bit too because everyone is looking for that one team to make a normal match. The only time I got wins in tri colour defending and attacking was with Sasquatch I think lol. Makes it fun with lots of proper splatfest matches.

@AstroTheGamosian i wouldn’t worry about it too much. It’s just a game and the audience for Splatoon 3 is probably too young to experience the true realities of life and all the hardships that come with. The older you get, the more you realize that values like love and courage leave a lasting sense of happiness.

I kept getting mirror matched for the most part to the point I thought Money and Fame gave up. But nah. Also, I was only 10 points away from being A Love Ruler before the fest was over. Pretty lame splatfest this month.

@shining_nexus One can only hope. But even then, we see more and more adults valuing the wrong things in life, and they hold increasing influence over everybody, especially our youth.

It's the economy. Money probably won this time because a lot of people are having financial troubles because of inflation.

So inklings value money more than love...
Also doesn't anyone think the smallfry in the artwork looks a bit traumatized?

Here Team Money, you've earned this.

@AstroTheGamosian i think that’s ok. After all, we’re all free to value what we want, whether we think it’s right or wrong. Do i think our youth is in trouble because of bad influence? Maybe. But I have faith.
