Team White Chocolate Claims Victory In The Latest Splatoon 3 Splatfest

Milk all the way.

Dark chocolate is the work of the devil.

MILK CHOCOLATE IS BEST DON'T @ ME

All because the Inklings love Cadbury's Milk Woomy

None of these are a bad choice for me, but milk chocolate is the best.

I don't know why, but the chocolate in that artwork does not look particular appetizing.

Depending on how dark the chocolate, I would probably lean towards it, but it depends if we are talking something like a Bournville bar, or one of those speciality 80% bars. The latter can burn in a fire; it would probably make it taste better.

I mean, I do like white chocolate. But if I had to choose, I'd go for milk chocolate. It's sweet and creamy. Dark chocolate is just too bitter for me.

Easiest splatfest choice yet, the only correct one... White!

Team Diet, unfortunately

This is going to be a very uneven splatfest, don't see a lot of people choosing white chocolate

Again my answer will be the losing one -_- Dark for me, keepin' it pure!

I was going to choose Team White Chocolate in-game, but seeing how many people are on my side in this poll, I may have to reconsider if I want to get more Super Sea Snails...

Guess I'm on Shiver's team again. Maybe this time we'll have a chance against Frye's sugary army.

White chocolate is misunderstood so it'll be a distant third in popularity, but it is the most versatile of the three. It's light flavor goes well with almost any fruit and allows every other ingredient it's mixed with to shine, making everything better. It can take crude materials and refine them into something cohesive and sophisticated. Don't underestimate it.

I dont find the choices to be all that creative this time around.... but as I was typing this just now, I realized that its a Valentines theme without being about Valentines. So I suppose that makes a little more sense.

(Team dark all the way, though)

There is only one chocolate and that is dark.

Wait. So are the maps going to look like they’re covered in fecal matter?

I like all three!

But, if I had to choose one to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Milk Chocolate for sure.

Milk chocolate for the win. Not a fan of dark, and only the devil eats white chocolate.

Wait, is this Splatfest only for Europe? I don’t see anything from NoA…

Edit: Splatoon NA posted it. I’m pretty excited for this one.

WhAt about RUBY chOlcaolaTE!?!?!? How cOuld they ForGET about THAT!?!?

There is only one correct answer. Milk Chocolate will reign supreme!

I actually quite like dark chocolate. I guess I like milk chocolate more, though. White chocolate is kind of redundant when vanilla exists and is way better.

I don't know what y'all talking about dark all the way!!! It good alone, with coffee, and the best frosting. Come join me with dark chocolate 🍫!

I like all three but milk chocolate gets the most love from me, undying classic all the way baby!✌️

Dark chocolate is best chocolate.

Anyway, I really need to participate in these splatfests. One of the reasons I buy a new entry is because it'll come with a new set of events, but I've missed the last two, for whatever reason.

No Big Run?!?! This is an atrocity

I'm a weirdo so I pick white chocolate every time. I recognize that this choice won't get very many sea snails though.

Hmm so do I want to eat coffee grounds or frosting? There is a reason milk chocolate is superior just sayiiiing~

Milk Choc all the way

I like all chocolate but I'm team milk chocolate if I have time to play.

Nintendo really want Frye to win... again... this time I'm on her team - MILK CHOCOLATE FTW!!

Milk chocolate all the way! I think Nintendo want to give Frye a redemption arc after getting completely steamrolled in the first three Splatfests considering she had the unanimous fave in the last fest and once again here. I do wonder though how much white chocolate might get inflated votes considering this is the closest that a Splatoon 3 splatfest has had white ink which tend to be 'fan favourite' ink colours amongst the community.

• White Chocolate is dead last.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

I’m surprised people don’t like White Chocolate. I know it doesn’t pair well with peanut butter or caramel, but its creamy and sweet.

Dark chocolate all day. It's healthier than milk chocolate. White chocolate isn't even real chocolate, what is this blasphemy.
The real winner, of course, is Team Dentistry.

white chocolate is so tasty, it’s got a flavor that can’t be beat! I love it so much, milk is a close 2nd tho!

Team diabetes!

Milk, any other kind is nasty.

The darker the chocolate, the better

Best flavor, best idol, best ink color... picking Dark is the least conflicted I've felt over a Splatfest yet.

I gotta go with white chocolate, it gets too much slander. So what if it's not REAL cocoa?! IT'S STILL GOOD

They are all really good. This is a hard choice. Milk chocolate is what I am in the mood for and tastes the best most of the time. But dark chocolate is also pretty fun often. And white chocolate also tastes good as long as it's in a good cookie.

I distrust persons who allege to enjoy dark chocolate.

Truly a hard one for me. I mean for me to choose between Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate is hard, and I know I'm not going to choose Milk Chocolate. I think I'll choose Dark Chocolate because White Chocolate isn't even real chocolate.

White chocolate isn’t chocolate, it can’t even get you high.😎

https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/food-you-asked/whats-difference-between-white-chocolate-and-brown-chocolate

Super Bowl Sunday. Guess it’s a good the Switch works in handheld mode.😂

its going to be rigged again my god nintendo lets go back to 2 choices cause the last time there were more people on sweet then spicy and sour which is unfair.

I’m going team milk chocolate!! I don’t like dark chocolate and while I really like white chocolate I think I like milk chocolate more because they have Kit Kat

I like all kinds, but dark chocolate is my favourite, especially if it's minty (though I've had some pretty terrible mint chocolates a few months ago).

I also prefer dark chocolate as it's likely to contain the fewest additives (if any).

But triple choc cookies are my favourite kind. The best of all worlds!

@ZZalapski @N00BiSH @rjejr : White chocolate is in fact chocolate if it contains cocoa butter, but there may be frauds out there without.

Milk > Dark > White

I don’t even have Splatoon 3 but chocolate is one of my favorite things lol.

Dark chocolate is the superior chocolate. White and milk are just PACKED with sugar.

I genuinely forgot that this splatfest was a thing let alone happening this soon.
This is one of the few times a reminder has been helpful here.

Enjoying the frequency of the Splatfests. Milk will win, though I like them all. I’m not chocolate racist

Chocolate is filled with lead and cadmium guys, it's true. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I am genuinely surprised more people didn’t choose Dark Chocolate

@Sisilly_G "but there may be frauds out there without"

There's probably fraud "milk chocolate" out there too. Don't think you can market "dark chocolate" w/o cocoa in it but I'm sure someone has tried.

I’m annoyed with Nintendo’s strategy of giving Frye the choice with the statistically-largest following. Like with Spicy/Sweet/Sour last month, the child player base this game targets doesn’t have the palette to appreciate dark chocolate, and white chocolate is pretty niche as far as candy goes (could only find one white chocolate item in my local grocery store today). I dunno if this is intentional on their part, but it almost feels like a ploy to make players keep choosing the worst Splatoon idol and eventually warm up to her as a result. If it is, that’s clever, but a bit underhanded.

It doesn't matter, here we will all bow to our dark lord & master: the cocoa bean.

Can't complain about these results. More 92% dark chocolate for me.

@CaptainTingle05 Exactly. You get it.

If the final results are anything like the last half hour, this is gonna be White Choc by a landslide. I’m Team Milk, played 5/7 matches Vs White, and 5/7 losses…. I’m out of practice

I like milk more as well. But since I am dumb I accidentally voted for white chocolate. Not saying it's bad but... Still milk chocolate tastes better.

Dark chocolate is the sophisticated person's choice, however I know the hardcore players don't actually care about what they prefer. They will try to min-max the system to lock in a strong lead, and the majority of plebs will obviously choose milk chocolate.

As for white chocolate, I don't even acknowledge it and it is interchangeable with 'vomit' as a third choice. It's not even technically chocolate, just coagulated oil. Disgusting garbage for animal humans.

milk chocolate all the way

the only one that even kind of compares is dark chocolate. white chocolate makes me sick

I keep getting thrown out of the lobby. This game has series has gone from fame to shame for me...

I should have seen this coming. Playing against white chocolate is like playing against Team Mayo or Team Egg..or John Cena.

White chocolate for the win!

What an upset! Next time Frye!

Honestly. This Splatfest felt VERY brutal. By the time I had got off the start, my team was inundated with bombs and special abilities. Not sure how it was happening though.

@Yosher

I'm amazed that White Chocolate won, and in such a clean sweep, too. I mean, I like White Chocolate fine, but I much prefer Milk Chocolate over any other kind. Dark Chocolate is too bitter for me.

Speaking of which, while tomorrow is Valentine's Day, a month from tomorrow is White Day in Japan, where people (usually men and boys) give White Chocolate as a reciprocal gift to people (usually girls and women) who gave them chocolate on Valentine's Day.

Here in the United States, we celebrate Pi Day, in honor of the mathematical symbol for Pi (3.14). And we celebrate with pie.
Maybe I should make a White Chocolate Pie to celebrate both holidays!

Maybe the white chocolate clean sweep has to do with the fact that this game is bigger in Japan than here? They surely have different tastes in Asia.

Another clean sweep, that's so freaking boring. I think they need to redo how the calculations are done.

White chocolate isnt even chocolate....

BIG MAN SWEEP

This one was rough to get through. I retired at rank champion. I feel most people chose white for the ink color. On top of that, I believe white choc is quite popular in Asia. This makes me feel it was inevitable white was gonna win.. I chose dark myself -_-

-screaming- RIGGED. RIGGED!!!!
(ok im sorry, milk got destroyed, gg)

@Yosher The last one wasn't a clean sweep.

Dang I didn't have a Switch online subscription to join this Splatfest and I would have picked white chocolate as well...It's years since I've joined the winning team and it's been a clean sweep.

At least the best kind of chocolate won! (sorry but it just is!)

This Splatfest felt way off for me. I chose dark chocolate, and my matches felt so unbalanced. Kept getting tenta-missled every 5 seconds on a lot of matches, and it wasn't even fun. I quit after fiend level and went back to playing XC3.

I don't know which is more absurd, white chocolate winning everything or someone claiming "we all" celebrate something called 'Pi Day" smh

@Yosher How would that be done, exactly? Add more categories? Having 3 battle categories and 2 swing categories at the current point values seems fair already. There’s no ties for 1st place. By the final battle percentages, the other two teams clearly really did not win enough games.

That felt like a lie. I chose dark chocolate and almost every match I played was against milk chocolate. When we did play white chocolate we destroyed them.

As some of the others said they should change up the calculations and explain it better. That splatfest felt pretty dumb.

@masterLEON How they would do it is up to Nintendo to figure out, I simply don't want to see so many sweeps because at that point it just becomes a popularity contest and that's boring. I mean, I'll still play, because I enjoy Splatoon in its core even outside of Splatfest, and the Splatfest in itself is still great to see in a festive vibe, but the competitive side of the Splatfest will be entirely lost on me.

I just hope for now that I'm premature on calling this out, but the trend seems to be there.

And thus continues my perfect streak of never winning a splatfest! (Had fun though! Congratulations team white chocolate!)

@Hero-of-WiiU The playerbase of the game is just so big that personal experience wont always reflect the results.

i couldnt even get on cause the servers kept crashing nintendo needs to either fix it or make a new server.

@Hero-of-WiiU im starting to think the teams are so unbalanced like theres more people in one then the other ones.

Nah white choc blinded everyone with their ink colour lmao
Honestly tho GG

Go White!

Am I allowed to say that on the internet these days?

EVERYONE HERE MUST NOW ONLY EAT WHITE CHOCOLATE UNTIL THE END OF TIME BABYYYY

White Chocolate is not real chocolate. Fight me.

@Yosher White chocolate’s ink color was the meta and most veteran players, presumably, played it. So they countered whatever ‘popularity curse’ it would have brought on by being the popular choice. What makes it worse is the ink has a glow in the dark effect now, which basically eliminates shadows on the ripples as they swim through it. If it was mint chocolate, for example, and they went with a light green, then the balance would predictably switch back to milk chocolate, but be less likely to sweep. The way I figure it if they want to avoid obvious sweep potential, don’t use any variation of white as an ink color. Another way is to choose themes with less obvious dominant favoritism. Aside from that, simply being a popular choice is never a guaranteed win.
