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.

Greetings Inklings and Octolings!


Select a superlative salutation in this #Splatoon3 Splatfest, starting Saturday 18/11!

Shiver

“Nah. Fist bumps were invented five minutes ago. Handshakes are elegant and timeless.”
Frye

“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
Shiver Expression Happy.png

“It's perfectly polite, and you don't have to get close to especially strange strangers.”
Big Man
Big Man Expression Point.png

“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
Frye Expression GoodGrief.png

“Look who's talking fingers! Yours might not be so burnt if you cooked with an air fryer!”

Big Man
Big Man Expression SurprisedB.png

“Ay? Ay. (Wait-is the theme air fryers versus fingers? I wanna sit this one out.)”

Frye
Frye Expression SurprisedA.png

“No! It's totally weak handshakes versus awesome fist bumps versus kinda OK hugs.”
Shiver
Shiver Expression SurprisedB.png

“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
Shiver Expression Special.png

“OK-fist bumps are cool, hugs are warm and loving. I get it. But this is your GO-TO!”

Shiver
Shiver Expression Talk Smirk.png

“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

“Welke begroeting geef jij het liefst? Een
handdruk, boks of knuffel?”

(What is your go-to greeting? A handshake, fistbump or cuddle?)
Muriël
Frye Expression Happy.png

“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
Shiver Expression Talk.png

“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
Frye Expression Talk Smirk.png

“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
Big Man Expression Happy.png

“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
Shiver Expression GoodGrief.png

“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
Shiver Expression Happy.png

“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
Big Man Expression Point.png

“Ay... Ay! (Ahhh... Volgens mij ben jij toe
aan een knuffel!)”

(Ay... Ay! (Ahhh... I believe you are in need of a cuddle!))

Muriël
Frye Expression Fighting.png

“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
Frye Expression GoodGrief.png

“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
Big Man Expression SurprisedB.png

“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
Frye Expression SurprisedA.png

“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
Shiver Expression SurprisedB.png

“Wat heb je dat onpartijdig verwoord, zeg...”

(How impartially you phrased that...)


Ray
Big Man Expression DisappointedA.png

“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
Big Man Expression Angry.png

“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
Shiver Expression Special.png

“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
Shiver Expression Talk Smirk.png

“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
Shiver Expression Happy.png

“Maar vreemdelingen? Andere artiesten?
Fans? Daar schud ik handen mee.”

(But strangers? Other artists? Fans? I shake hands with them.)

Muriël
Frye Expression Point.png

“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
Big Man Expression Happy.png

“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
Shiver Expression Wait.png

“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...)

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.
  • Since this Splatfest is not available for Japan, the related dialogues for Anarchy Splatcast are not available in Japanese.
    • When the system language is set to Japanese, the game starts normally in Japanese, but the Splatfest-specific dialogues are displayed in English.
