Shiver “In a band, what instrument would you play? Drums, guitar or keyboard?”	Big Man “Ay? Ay. (Huh? I'm already in this band, and you know I play keyboard.)”
Shiver “Just humor me! Personally, I think it would be fun to lay into a drum kit.”	Frye “And sit in back? No way! If I'm playing, I'm jamming out in center stage on guitar!”
	Big Man “Ay? (Well, for this thought experiment, I'll say I would play...keyboard?)”
Frye “Hey, if we're a band, why AREN'T I out there shredding for our fans?”	Big Man “Ay. Ay. (I guess we're a group, not a band. The difference is murky but real.)”
Shiver “Although if we were a band, naturally I would still be the leader.”
Shiver “And in a band, that's the drummer. I count us in, I set the pace... All leaderly duties.”
	Big Man “Ay– (Actually, for most bands, people tend to assume that the leader is–)”
Frye “SHHH! Let her believe whatever gets me on guitar.”
	Frye “It's the ONLY instrument where I can fully express my innermost awesomeness!”
	Frye “I promise to use this power responsibly and keep my solos under 12 minutes.”
Shiver “What are the rest of us supposed to do while you noodle aimlessly on that thing?”
Frye “Drum fills! Keyboard with your feet! Scream in made-up languages! ANARCHY!”	Big Man “Ay... (Frye, I'm not sure you totally get the concept of a "band"...)”
Shiver “Yes. I love chaos as much as anyone, but a song needs a strong beat.”	Big Man “Ay? Ay. (Really? I think the melody is more important than the beat.)”
Frye “And that's why you're going with keyboard?”	Big Man “Ay. Ay. (No, I'm picking keyboard because I play keyboard. In actual life. For real.)”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay. (But it is a great songwriting tool! The keyboard is where the magic starts.)”
Frye “Sounds like we're deadlocked. Shiver, you know what to do!”
Shiver “One, two, three, four...SPLATFEST! I expect everyone to fall in time with Team Drums!”
Frye “OR you could follow your heart and rock out with me on Team Guitar!”
	Big Man “Ay! (Let your creative juices flow, and join us on Team Keyboard!)”

	Big Man “Ay! Ay! (Hooray for Team Keyboard! Success sounds so sweet!)”
	Frye “Augh! The only things that got shredded here were my dreams.”
Shiver “Poor Team Drums. We stayed on beat, but we still got beaten.”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (Thanks, Team Keyboard. Every good battler did fine!)”
	Frye “Don't fret, Team Guitar -- the spirit of rock in our hearts will never die!”
Shiver “Thanks for trying, Team Drums. Luckily, we have an easy way to vent frustration.”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay? (A win for keyboard takes me back. It's why I joined you, remember?)”
Shiver “Of course. In a sense, if not for keyboards, there'd be no Deep Cut.”
	Frye “What do you think we'd all be doing in a world where we never joined forces?”
Shiver “Ugh, I don't want to think about it. Something much more boring.”
Frye “Tough to see myself sticking with anything for long without you keeping me on track.”	Big Man “Ay. (I bet I'd just be a ghostwriter for other, more popular acts.)”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay? (Yeesh! Good thing the power of keyboards saved us all, huh?)”
Shiver “Yes. You might say that they were the "key" to our prosperity.”
Frye “BOOOO!”	Big Man “Ay... (And on that note, we're done here...)”

Ik zit al in een band... en je weet dat ik keyboard speel... dus...)” (Ay? Ay... (Huh? I am already in a band... and you know I play keyboard... so...))
Haya “Het is gewoon een gedachte-experiment. Mij lijkt drummen hartstikke gaaf.” (It is simply a thought experiment. Drumming seems freaking awesome to me.)	Muriël “Maar dan zit je achterin. Ik ga liever tekeer op een gitaar en daar is ruimte voor nodig!” (But then you sit in the back. I prefer to go wild on a guitar and that needs space!)
	Ray “Ay... (Nou, als het een gedachte-experiment is, dan kies ik voor... keyboard...)” (Ay... (Well, if it is a thought experiment, I am choosing... keyboard...))
Muriël “Hé, als we een band zijn, waarom heb ik dan nog geen gitaar om op tekeer te gaan?” (Hey, if we are a band, why don't I have a guitar to go wild on yet?)	Ray “Ay. Ay. (Oké, technisch gezien zijn we een popgroep. Klein verschil, maar toch.)” (Ay. Ay. (Okay, technically speaking we are a pop group. Small difference, but still.))
Haya “Maar als we een band waren, dan zou ik natuurlijk nog steeds de leider zijn.” (But if we were a band, I would naturally still be the leader.)
Haya “In een band is dat de drummer. Want de drummer geeft de maat aan.” (In a band, that is the drummer. As the drummer sets the beat.)

Haya “En wat moeten wij in de tussentijd doen terwijl jij aan één stuk doortokkelt?” (And what should we do in the meantime while you pluck away in one sitting?)
Muriël “Drummen met je voeten! Mij fotograferen! Verzonnen woorden schreeuwen! ANARCHIE!” (Drumming with your feet! Photographing me! Shouting made-up words! ANARCHY!)	Ray “Ay... (Muriël, volgens mij begrijp je niet helemaal hoe een band werkt...)” (Ay... (Frye, I believe you don't entirely understand how a band works...))
Haya “Ja, af en toe wat chaos is oké, maar je mag het ritme niet uit het oog verliezen.” (Yes, now and then some chaos is okay, but you must not lose sight of the rhythm.)	Ray “Ay? Ay. (Vind je? Voor mij is de melodie belangrijker dan het ritme.)” (Ay? Ay. (You think so? For me, the melody is more important than the rhythm.))
Muriël “En daarom kies je voor keyboard?” (And that is why you are choosing keyboard?)	Ray “Ay. Ay. (Nee, ik kies keyboard omdat ik dat al speel. In het echte leven.)” (Ay. Ay. (No, I am choosing keyboard because that is what I already play. In real life.))
	Ray “Ay. Ay. (Maar nummers schrijven begint met een keyboard. Daarin zit de magie.)” (Ay. Ay. (But writing songs begins with a keyboard. Therein lies the magic.))

Haya “Eén, twee, drie, vier... SPLATFEST! Kom bij Team Drumstel, daar vind je de beste maten!” (One, two, three, four... SPLATFEST! Join Team Drums, there you will find the best beats!)
Notes: Shiver makes a pun on maat meaning both "beat" and "mate".
Muriël “Nee, joh. De fans gaan nu al akkoord met Team Gitaar!” (No, dude. The fans are already in agreement with Team Guitar!)
Notes: Frye makes a pun on akkoord meaning both "agreement" and "chord".
	Ray “Ay! Ay! (Niet doen, fans! Beklim de toonladders naar de overwinning met Team Keyboard!)” (Ay! Ay! (Don't do it, fans! Climb the tone ladders to the victory with Team Keyboard!))

	Ray “Ay! (Team Keyboard heeft zwart op wit gewonnen!)” (Ay! (Team Keyboard has won in black and white!))

Haya “Ik ben maar een héél klein beetje van slag.” (I am only a VERY tiny bit upset.)
Notes: Van slag is a pun on slag ("beat").
	Ray “Ay. Ay! (Bedankt, Team Keyboard. Jullie hebben elke toets doorstaan!)” (Ay. Ay! (Thanks, Team Keyboard. You folks have withstood every test!))
Notes: toest is a pun in that it also means "key."
	Muriël “Team Gitaar heeft niets om over te janken. Ons geluid was oorstrelend!” (Team Guitar has nothing to cry about. Our sound was pleasing to the ear!)
Haya “Team Drumstel was heel slagvaardig en gelukkig kunnen we onze frustratie makkelijk kwijt.” (Team Drums was very ready for battle and we can thankfully easily vent our frustration.)
Notes: Slagvaardig is a pun on slag ("beat").
	Ray “Ay! (Leuk dat het keyboard heeft gewonnen, want daarmee ben ik bij Deep Cut gekomen!” (Ay! (Nice that the keyboard has won, cause with that I ended up with Deep Cut!))
Haya “Dat is waar. Je zou zelfs kunnen zeggen dat er zonder keyboard geen Deep Cut zou zijn!” (That is true. You could even say that without keyboard there wouldn't be a Deep Cut!)
	Muriël “Wat zouden we volgens jullie gedaan hebben als we niet samen hadden gewerkt?” (What do you guys think we would have done if we hadn't worked together?)
Haya “Oef, daar wil ik niet aan denken. Vast iets enorm saais.” (Oof, I don't want to think about that. Must have been something enormously boring.)
Muriël “Ik had denk ik niet veel bereikt als jullie er niet waren om me aan te sturen.” (I think I wouldn't have amounted to much if you guys weren't there to direct me.)	Ray “Ay. (En ik zou waarschijnlijk totaal anoniem nummers schrijven voor andere artiesten.)” (Ay. (And I would probably write songs for other artists totally anonymously.))
	Ray “Ay? (Wat fijn dat de kracht van keyboards ons gered heeft, hè?)” (Ay? (How nice that the strength of keyboards has saved us, eh?))
Haya “Ja, zonder dat geplink en geplonk waren we flink in mineur geweest.” (Yes, without those sounds of music we would have been depressed.)
Notes: Geplink en geplonk is an onomatopoeia of music. In mineur is a pun in that it both means "[be] depressed" and "in minor [scale]."
Muriël “Hou op, anders moet ik een traantje wegpinken.” (Stop it, else I will have to blink back tears.)	Ray “Ay. (Oké, laten we hier maar over ophouden, want ik heb blijkbaar een gevoelige snaar geraakt.)” (Ay. (Okay, let's just drop it, cause I apparently touched a sensitive chord with someone.))

	Morena «Non restate giù di corda, amici del Team Chitarra. Il rock non morirà mai!» (Don't feel down, Team Guitar friends. Rock will never die!)
Pinnuccia «Ci abbiamo provato, Team Batteria. La prossima volta li disorienteremo con i tempi dispari.» (We tried, Team Drums. Next time we'll confuse them with odd tempo.)
	Mantaleo «Man? (La vittoria mi ha fatto tornare in mente quando mi sono unito a voi. Vi ricordate?)» (Ay? (Victory reminded me of when I joined you. Do you remember?))
Pinnuccia «Ovvio! In un certo senso, senza tastiere il Trio Triglio non esisterebbe nemmeno.» (Of course! In a way, without keyboards, Deep Cut wouldn't even exist.)
	Morena «Secondo voi cos'avremmo fatto se non avessimo creato il trio?» (What do you think we would have done if we hadn't created the trio?)
Pinnuccia «Bleah, di sicuro qualcosa di noioso. Non ci voglio nemmeno pensare!» (Yuck, definitely something boring. I don't even want to think about it!)
Morena «Io non riesco nemmeno a immaginarla, una vita lontana da voi due.» (I can't even imagine it, a life away from you two.)	Mantaleo «Man... (Probabilmente sarei un autore semisconosciuto per qualche tempo...)» (Ay... (I would probably be a semi-unknown author for some time...))
	Mantaleo «Man? (Visto che alla fine siamo tutti contenti per la vittoria della tastiera?)» (Ay? (See that we're all happy with the keyboard's victory in the end?))
Pinnuccia «Beh, se me la metti così, diciamo che hai toccato... il tasto giusto della questione.» (Well, if you put it that way, let's say you've hit... the right key of the issue.)
Morena «Ehm...» (Um...)	Mantaleo «Man... (E su questa nota... direi di chiudere.)» (Ay... (And on that note... I would say to close this.))

Кулла «Какой инструмент твой в группе? Гитара, синтезатор или ударные?» (Which instrument is yours in a band? Guitar, synthesizer, or drums?)	Биг Ман «Ик? Ик. Ик. (Э-э? Я как бы уже в группе. И как бы играю на клавишах.)» (Ay? Ay. Ay. (U-uh? I'm, like, already in the band. And I, like, play the keyboard.))
Кулла «Предположим, не всем это известно. Вот я бы ударно поударяла... на ударных!» (Let's assume not everyone knows this. I, for instance, would fervently whack... the drums!)	Мурия «Торчать на заднем плане? Не дождетесь! Мы с гитарой будем в центре внимания!» (Sticking around in the background? In your dreams! My guitar and I will be the center of attention!)
Notes: Both ударно udarno ("fervently", "energetically"), поударяла poudaryala ("would whack" as a slang way to say "would play the drums"), and ударные udarnye ("drums") have the same root coming from the word удар udar ("hit", "punch", "impact").
	Биг Ман «Ик? (Ну, раз предположим, то я бы... играл на синтезаторе?)» (Ay? (Well, if we're just assuming, then I would... play the synthesizer?))
Мурия «СТОП! Мы же и так группа. Чего это я не зажигаю на гитаре для фанатов?!» (STOP! We're already a band. So why don't I rock out on the guitar for the fans?!)	Биг Ман «Ик. Ик! (Наша фишка – вокал, а не инструменты. Профиль же другой!)» (Ay. Ay! (Our thing is vocals, not instruments. A whole different profile!))
Кулла «Да будь мы хоть инструментальным ансамблем, я все равно руководитель.» (Even if we were an instrumental ensemble or something, I'd still be the leader.)
Кулла «А это обычно еще и ударник. Темп, ритм, тон, все задаю я!» (And the leader is usually also the drummer. Tempo, rhythm, tone, I set everything!)
	Биг Ман «Ик... (Вообще-то, руководители ансамблей обычно...)» (Ay... (Actually, the ensemble leaders are usually...))
Мурия «ТС-С-С!!! Пусть верит во что хочет! Главное, чтобы мне бренчать не мешала!» (SH-H-H!!! Let her believe whatever she wants! As long as she doesn't interfere with my strumming!)
	Мурия «Это ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ инструмент, который позволяет мне проявить свою... СИЛУ!!!» (This is THE ONLY instrument that allows me to show my... FORCE!!!)
	Мурия «Торжественно обещаю не злоупотреблять СИЛОЙ. Все соло не дольше 12 минут!» (I solemnly promise not to abuse FORCE. All solos are no longer than 12 minutes!)
Кулла «А нам-то что делать, пока ты бренчишь на своих дровах?» (And what should we do while you're strumming on your wood?)
Notes: Дрова drova (literally "firewood") is a Russian slang word for acoustic guitar.
Мурия «Брейки! Клавишно-плавниковые вариации! Вопли на придуманных языках! АНАРХИЯ!» (Breaks! Keyboard and fin variations! Screams in made-up languages! ANARCHY!)	Биг Ман «Ик? (Мурия, а ты не знаешь, что «ансамбль» значит «вместе», а не «анархия»?)» (Ay? (Frye, are you aware that «ensemble» means «together» and not «anarchy»?))
Кулла «Я вот знаю. Я ценю хаос не меньше других, но в музыке бит превыше всего!» (I do know. I value chaos as much as anyone, but in music, the beat comes first!)	Биг Ман «Ик? Ик. (Что-что? Как по мне, мелодия куда важнее бита.)» (Ay? Ay. (What-what? As for me, the melody's much more important than the beat.))
Мурия «Ты поэтому вцепился в синтезатор?» (Is that why you cling so tightly to the synthesizer?)	Биг Ман «Ик. Ик. (Нет, я в него «вцепился», потому что сам на нем играю. Представь себе.)» (Ay. Ay. (No, I «cling so tightly» to it because I myself play it. Can you imagine.))
	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик. (Это лучший инструмент для композитора! Магия начинается с клавиш.)» (Ay! Ay. (This is the best instrument for a composer! The magic starts with the keyboard.))
Мурия «И-и-и... мы снова в тупике. Кулла, объяви уже!» (A-a-and... we're at a dead end again. Shiver, announce it already!)
Кулла «Сплат-раз, сплат-два, сплат-три... И СПЛАТФЕСТ! Поддержите «Ударные»!» (Splat-one, splat-two, splat-three... AND SPLATFEST! Support «Drums»!)
Мурия «ЭЙ! Лучше зажигайте с командой «Гитара»! Рифф-н-ролл!!!» (HEY! You better rock with team «Guitar»! Riff-n-roll!!!)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Или откройте в себе креативную жилку с командой «Синтезатор»!)» (Ay! (Or discover a creative side within yourself with team «Synthesizer»!))

	Мурия «Как думаете, что бы мы сейчас делали, если бы не создали Deep Cut?» (What do you think we'd be doing now if we hadn't created Deep Cut?)
Кулла «Даже думать не хочу. Я бы наверняка иссохла со скуки.» (I don't even want to think about it. I'd most probably dry out of boredom.)
Мурия «Без вас я бы точно меняла хобби, как прикиды, и занималась глупостями.» (Without you, I'd definitely change hobbies like I change outfits and fool around.)	Биг Ман «Ик. (А я, наверное, был бы безымянным сонграйтером для других групп.)» (Ay. (And I'd probably be a nameless songwriter for the other bands.))
	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик. (Ура синтезаторам! Они всех нас спасли.)» (Ay! Ay. (Hooray to synthesizers! They saved us all.))
Кулла «Ага. Можно сказать, они послужили нам «ключом» к успеху...» (Yeah. You could say they served as our «key» to success...)

	Rayan «¡Zasss! (¡Ganamos, Equipo Teclado! ¡Un triunfo de muchas octavas!)»

Megan «Ufff... No pensé que al Equipo Batería nos batirían tan descaradamente.»

Megan «Lo siento, mis bateristas. ¡Lo bueno es que ya sé cómo podemos desahogarnos!»

Trivia

• Alongside Lightly Salted vs. Consommé vs. Salted Seaweed, this Splatfest is the first Splatfest in Splatoon 3:
  • To feature the option to adjust Splatfest Tees.
  • To feature Fizzbangs.
  • To feature Off the Hook performing in Inkopolis Square.
  • To be announced after the following Splatfest's announcement.
  • To feature Off the Hook VS Fire & Ice's new battle song, Suffer No Fools.
  • To feature the new scoring system where each category now gives points to both the winner and second place instead of only the winner.
• This is the second Splatfest to occur in the same month as a Big Run, following Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man.
• One of Big Man's quotes in the results announcement is “Every good battler did fine!”. This is a music pun referencing EGBDF, which are the names of the notes on the lines of a treble clef staff. Big Man's version is specifically based on the mnemonic "Every Good Boy Does Fine" that is usually taught to kids.
