Quotes
“ | SRL Splatfest Research Team here with new findings! The 11th Splatfest theme will be "What's your go-to greeting? Handshake, fist bump, or hug?" As scientists, we're disappointed that "terse nod" was left out, but we'll observe from 4 PM PT on 11/17 to 4 PM PT on 11/19 anyway. | ” |

Shiver “What's your go-to greeting? A handshake, a fist bump, or a hug?” |
Frye “Ooo! This one's so easy. We're all gonna be on the same team, right? FIST BUMP!” |
|
Shiver “Nah. Fist bumps were invented five minutes ago. Handshakes are elegant and timeless.” |
Frye “Know what else was invented five minutes ago? Air fryers! New stuff rocks!” |
|
Big Man “Ay. Ay! (I dunno, Frye. What's better than a hug? They can't invent a better hug!)” |
||
Shiver “Do you really want to hug EVERYONE? A handshake is just a pocket-sized hug.” |
||
Shiver “It's perfectly polite, and you don't have to get close to especially strange strangers.” |
Big Man “Ay... Ay! (Awww... Sounds like someone NEEDS a hug!)” |
|
Frye “Big Man's whole body IS a hug, so I get it. For the rest of us, fist bumps are cool.” |
||
Shiver “As cool as those blue fingers of yours? A warm handshake could defrost them...” |
||
Frye “Look who's talking fingers! Yours might not be so burnt if you cooked with an air fryer!” |
||
Big Man “Ay? Ay. (Wait-is the theme air fryers versus fingers? I wanna sit this one out.)” |
||
Frye “No! It's totally weak handshakes versus awesome fist bumps versus kinda OK hugs.” |
||
Shiver “How impartially put.” |
||
Big Man “Ay. Ay? (You know, fist bumps are exciting. But what if you don't have fists?)” |
||
Frye “Fin bumps are cool! Work with what you got!” |
||
Big Man “Ay? Ay. (See? That's why I could just hug you.)” |
||
Shiver “OK-fist bumps are cool, hugs are warm and loving. I get it. But this is your GO-TO!” |
||
Shiver “Personally, I'd save the fist bumps for you, Frye. And the warm hugs for Big Man.” |
||
Shiver “Strangers in Splatsville? Opening acts? Fans after the show? I'm shaking hands.” |
||
Frye “And I'm bumpin' fists. BOOYAH!” |
||
Big Man “Ay... (I'm still hugging everyone that I possibly can...)” |
||
Shiver “That settles it-we're completely at odds. Good thing we can let the Splatfest decide!” |

Haya “Welke begroeting geef jij het liefst? Een handdruk, boks of knuffel?” (What is your go-to greeting? A handshake, fistbump or cuddle?) |
Muriël “O, makkie! We gaan allemaal voor hetzelfde team, toch? Kom op, BOKS!” (Oh, easy peasy! We are all going for the same team, right? Come on, FISTBUMP!) |
|
Haya “Nee, bedankt. Een boks is relatief vijf minuten oud in vergelijking met de tijdloze handdruk.” (No, thanks. A fistbump is relatively five minutes old in comparison to the timeless handshake.) |
Muriël “Weet je wat ook relatief vijf minuten oud is? Airfryers! Nieuwe dingen zijn cool!” (You know what is also relatively five minutes old? Airfryers! New things are cool!) |
|
Ray “Ay. Ay. (Ik weet niet, hoor, Muriël. Knuffels zijn ook oud en daar is geen betere versie van.)” (Ay. Ay. (I don't know, though, Frye. Cuddles are also old and there is no better version of those.)) |
||
Haya “Je hoeft toch niet iedereen uitgebreid te knuffelen? Een handdruk is een miniknuffel.” (Surely you don't need to cuddle everyone extensively? A handshake is a mini cuddle.) |
||
Haya “Het is een beleefde knuffel waarbij je niet te dicht bij vreemdelingen hoeft te komen.” (It is a polite cuddle whereby you don't have to come too close to strangers.) |
Ray “Ay... Ay! (Ahhh... Volgens mij ben jij toe aan een knuffel!)” (Ay... Ay! (Ahhh... I believe you are in need of a cuddle!)) |
|
Muriël “Ray is net een deken, dus logisch dat hij knuffelt. Maar wie cool is, geeft een boks.” (Big Man is just like a blanket, so it only makes sense that he cuddles. But those who are cool, give a fistbump.) |
||
Notes: Possible a reference to the Dutch announcement dialogue of the Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man Splatfest, where Big Man says he's "a big cuddle blanket." | ||
Haya “Zo koel als die verkleumde vingers van jou? Een handdruk kan die opwarmen.” (As cool as those numb with cold fingers of yours? A handshake can warm those up.) |
||
Muriël “Beter dan die verbrande vingers van jou. Dat krijg je ervan, omdat je geen airfryer hebt.” (Better than those burnt fingers of yours. That is what you get, because you don't have an airfryer.) |
||
Ray “Ay? Ay... (Ehhh, is het thema airfryers tegen vingers? Ik heb geen van beide, dus...)” (Ay? Ay... (Uhhh, is the theme airfryers versus fingers? I don't have either of the two, so...)) |
||
Muriël “Nee, het gaat over suffe handdrukken tegen coole boksen tegen... knuffels die wel oké zijn.” (No, it is about dull handshakes versus cool fistbumps versus... cuddles that are kinda okay.) |
||
Haya “Wat heb je dat onpartijdig verwoord, zeg...” (How impartially you phrased that...) |
||
Ray “Ay? (Boksen met vuisten ziet er cool uit, maar wat als je geen vuisten hebt?)” (Ay? (Fistbumping with fists looks cool, but what if you have no fists?)) |
||
Muriël “Dan boks je met je vinnen. Je moet roeien met de boksen die je hebt.” (Then you fistbump with your fins. You have to make do with the fistbumps that you have got.) |
||
Notes: Frye uses the idiom je moet roeien met de riemen die je hebt ("you have to make do with what you have got"), replacing riemen with boksen ("fistbumps"). | ||
Ray “Ay. Ay. (Of ik kan je gewoon knuffelen. Dat is hetzelfde met vuisten of vinnen.)” (Ay. Ay. (Or I can simply cuddle you. That is the same with fists or fins.)) |
||
Haya “Oké, boksen zijn cool en knuffels zijn warm. Maar het gaat over wat je het vaakst doet.” (Okay, fistbumps are cool and cuddles are warm. But it is about what you do most often.) |
||
Haya “Ik bewaar boksen voor jou, Muriël. En knuffelen doe ik met Ray.” (I'll save fistbumping for you, Frye. And cuddling I do with Big Man.) |
||
Haya “Maar vreemdelingen? Andere artiesten? Fans? Daar schud ik handen mee.” (But strangers? Other artists? Fans? I shake hands with them.) |
||
Muriël “Dat maakt voor mij geen verschil, ik geef iedereen een boks! BOKS!” (It is all the same to me, I give everyone a fistbump! FISTBUMP!) |
||
Ray “Ay? (En ik knuffel altijd, want waarom afstand houden als je een nieuwe vriend ontmoet?)” (Ay? (And I always cuddle, because why keep your distance when you meet a new friend?)) |
||
Haya “Zo komen we er niet uit. Dan moeten we elkaar maar stevig begroeten in de strijd...” (This discussion is going nowhere. Then we'll just have to greet each other firmly in battle...) |

Кулла «Какое приветствие ты предпочитаешь? Рукопожатие, кулак о кулак или объятие?» (Which greeting do you prefer? Handshake, fist to fist, or hug?) |
Мурия «Ого, мы что, в первый раз будем все в одной команде?! Конечно, КУЛАКИ!» (Wow, are we seriously going to be all in one team for the first time?! FISTBUMP, of course!) |
|
Кулла «Ну уж нет. Никаких новомодных кулаков, только элегантное и вечное рукопожатие!» (Hell no. No newfangled fistbumps, only the elegant and timeless handshake!) |
Мурия «Ура новинкам! Мой любимый аэрогриль тоже буквально на днях изобрели!» (Hooray for the new stuff! My favorite air fryer was also just invented the other day!) |
|
Биг Ман «Ик. Ик! (Ну, не знаю, Мурия. Обнять друга – всегда что-то особенное!)» (Ay. Ay! (Well, I don't know, Frye. Hugging a friend is always something special!)) |
||
Кулла «Всех не переобнимаешь! И вообще, рукопожатие – те же мини-обнимашки.» (You can't hug them all! And besides, a handshake is the same as mini hugs.) |
||
Кулла «Правила вежливости соблюдены. Бонус: минимальный контакт с незнакомцами!» (The rules of politeness are followed. A bonus: minimal contact with strangers!) |
Биг Ман «Ик... Ик! (Ой... Кому-то явно не хватает этих самых ОБНИМАШЕК!)» (Ay... Ay! (Oh... Someone clearly needs these very HUGS!)) |
|
Мурия «Ты-то для обнимашек просто создан, Биг Ман! А мы для кулаков.» (Of all, you're just made for hugs, Big Man! And we're made for fistbumps.) |
||
Кулла «Мы?! Твоим синим пальчикам теплое рукопожатие явно не повредит! Бр-р!» (We?! A warm handshake certainly won't hurt your blue little fingers! Br-r!) |
||
Мурия «На свои полюбуйся! Они и без аэрогриля преКРАСНО прожарились!» (Look at yours! They were perfectly RED fried even without the air fryer!) |
||
Notes: The joke is based on the word прекрасно prekrasno ("wonderfully", "perfectly") consisting the word красно krasno, a variation of the word красный krasnyy ("red"). | ||
Биг Ман «Ик... Ик! (У меня нет ни аэрогриля, ни пальцев... Но Сплатфест не об этом!)» (Ay... Ay! (I don't have an air fryer, or fingers... But the Splatfest isn't about that!)) |
||
Мурия «Он о тухлых рукопожатиях против мегакрутых кулаков против... нормальковых обнимашек!» (It's about rotten handshakes against mega cool fistbumps against... fine hugs!) |
||
Notes: Тухлый tukhlyy ("rotten") and нормальковый normal'kovyy (slang for "fine") are also the Russian terms for the weapon freshness flags equivalent to "dry" and "fresh" respectively. | ||
Кулла «Ценю тебя за непредвзятость.» (I appreciate your open-mindedness.) |
||
Биг Ман «Ик. (Знаете, «кулачки» мне тоже нравятся, но без пальцев это не вариант.)» (Ay. (You know, I like «fistbump» too, but it's not an option without fingers.)) |
||
Мурия «Плавник о плавник, тоже мне проблема! Было бы желание!» (Fin to fin isn't a big deal! There would be a desire!) |
||
Биг Ман «Ик! Ик! (Так бы тебя и обнял, Мурия! Ты настоящий друг!)» (Ay! Ay! (I'd hug you so hard, Frye! You're a true friend!)) |
||
Кулла «Да, кулаки у нас кул, обнимашки теплые и любящие... Но они не на все случаи!» (Yes, fistbumps are cool, hugs are warm and loving... But they aren't suitable for all occasions!) |
||
Notes: The joke is based on the word кул kul (an anglicism of the word "cool") being a part of the word кулаки kulaki ("fists", "fistbump"). | ||
Кулла «Свои кулаки я приберегу для Мурии, Биг Мана обниму...» (I'll save my fists for Frye, I'll hug Big Man...) |
||
Кулла «А незнакомцам, коллегам и фанатам буду пожимать руку!» (And with strangers, colleagues and fans, I'll shake hands!) |
||
Мурия «Мне вот кулаков ни для кого не жалко! ЙО-ХО!» (And I don't mind fistbumping with anyone at all! BOOYAH!) |
||
Биг Ман «Ик... (А я готов хоть весь мир обнять...)» (Ay... (And I'm ready to hug the whole world...)) |
||
Кулла «Уф, привычный расклад: мы все в разных командах! Решает Сплатфест!» (Oof, the usual layout: we all are in different teams! The Splatfest decides!) |

莎莎 「說到問候方式,你們喜歡握手,碰拳,還是擁抱?」 |
曼曼 「這樣大家肯定都會選同一隊,當然是碰拳對吧?」 |
|
莎莎 「不不,碰拳可是最近才發明的新玩意。握手才是既橫跨時代又優雅的問候方式。」 |
曼曼 「氣炸鍋也是最近才發明的啊。新的東西總是比舊的棒!」 |
|
鬼福 「魟、魟!(不,我認為擁抱才是最好的。擁抱可不是靠發明的啊!)」 |
||
莎莎 「不管是誰你都會想擁抱嗎?真要說,握手也能算是袖珍版的擁抱。」 |
||
莎莎 「不失禮節,又不需要太接近奇怪的人。」 |
鬼福 「魟⋯⋯魟!(哎呀⋯⋯聽起來有人需要一個擁抱!)」 |
|
曼曼 「畢竟鬼福的整個身子就像是個擁抱,但對我們普通人來說碰拳是最酷的方式。」 |
||
莎莎 「看看你發青的手指。如果是握手,就能溫暖你冰冷的指尖了呢。」 |
||
曼曼 「你想聊手指嗎?乖乖用氣炸鍋做料理的話,你的手指也不會被燙成那樣了吧。」 |
||
鬼福 「魟?(等等,這次的主題變成氣炸鍋vs手指了嗎?這樣的話我可能不想參加⋯⋯)」 |
||
曼曼 「不對!是柔弱的握手vs帥氣的碰拳vs尚可的擁抱才是這次的主題!」 |
||
莎莎 「還真是公正的總結啊。」 |
||
鬼福 「魟?(碰拳的確是恨帥氣,但是沒有拳頭的話該怎麼辦?)」 |
||
曼曼 「碰鰭也不錯吧?用身上有的東西想辦法解決吧。」 |
||
鬼福 「魟?(看吧,這樣我直接擁抱你更好。)」 |
||
莎莎 「好吧,碰拳很酷,擁抱很暖心,這個我理解。不過這真的是最常用的問候方式嗎?」 |
||
莎莎 「我大概只會跟曼曼碰拳,也只會跟鬼福擁抱。」 |
||
莎莎 「如果是蠻頹鎮中不認識的人、工作夥伴,或是演唱會後的粉絲,那當然是選擇握手吧。」 |
||
曼曼 「我絕對會是碰拳!」 |
||
鬼福 「魟⋯⋯(不管是誰,我果然還是想來個擁抱~)」 |
||
莎莎 「就是這麼回事,我們的意見完全分歧。幸好我們能用集點決定!」 |

Trivia
- Alongside Kaiten-Yaki vs. Oban-Yaki vs. Imagawa-Yaki, Handshake vs. Fist Bump vs. Hug will be the first time a third Splatfest will take place within the same season.
- The initial announcement of this Splatfest on the Splatoon NA Twitter featured an image with slightly altered wording compared to other English-language announcements for both the question and the name of Team Fist Bump (see 'Artwork' above). The in-game announcement for North America later featured the same wording as the prior Europe and Oceania announcements.
