Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors was a Splatfest event in Splatoon 3, accessed by downloading the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere from the Nintendo eShop. It was announced on 10 August 2022 and lasted for twelve hours, beginning at different times depending on the player's region. Players from different matchmaking regions were able to play together in overlapping times.

The results were announced on 28 August 2022 at 14:00 UTC.

Details

The Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere was a free demo that allowed players to play the Splatoon 3 tutorial, walk around Splatsville, and participate in the Splatfest. The software was playable starting on 25 August 2022, allowing Splatsville to be explored, but players could not participate in the Splatfest until it began on 27 August 2022.

Stage Rotations

Before the Splatfest began in Europe (the earliest timezone where it started), the stage rotations displayed Scorch Gorge and Eeltail Alley globally. Afterwards, the rotations in every region were as follows:

The Tricolor Turf War stage was Sturgeon Shipyard.

Halftime Report

At the halfway point in the Splatfest, Deep Cut revealed the team currently with the most overall Clout, used to determine the team team plays the role of defense (and starting in the center of the stage) during Tricolor Turf Wars.

Each region has a different Halftime Report due to each Splatfest's start time differing depending on the region.

Quotes

“	How about that Splatfest World Premiere! First, the idea of a 3-way Splatfest is mind-blowing. And the theme? A statistical exploration of the benefits of Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors? We're swooning. Scientifically.	”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter

“	SRL here with your last-minute reminder: the Splatfest World Premiere is going live today at 9am PT! Will you bank on the reliability of #TeamRock? Try to shred the competition with #TeamScissors? Or fold, flap, and flutter your way to the top with #TeamPaper?	”

Mako „Team Stein wird seinen felsenfesten Willen zum Sieg unter Beweis stellen!“ (Team Rock will prove its rock-solid will to win!)	Muri „Wir werden es schwarz auf weiß haben... Team Papier wird gewinnen!“ (We will have it in black and white... Team Paper will win!)
	Mantaro „Ay! Ay! (Da habt ihr euch geschnitten! Mit Schere liegt man nie verkehrt!)“ (Ay! Ay! (You are both mistaken! You can never go wrong with Scissors!))
Notes: "Da habt ihr euch geschnitten!" is a German phrase which means that someone is incorrect. Literally translated the phrase means "You have cut yourselves on that one!"
Muri „Warte mal. Es gibt dabei keine Wahl, die immer gewinnt!“ (Wait a minute. There is no choice that always wins!)	Mantaro „Ay? Ay. (Was, nicht? Aber ich gewinne immer, wenn ich 'Schere' nehme.)“ (Ay? Ay. (What, there isn't? But I always win when I use 'Scissors').)
Mako „Und was ist mit 'Stein'? Immerhin die vorzüglichst solideste Wahl.“ (And what about 'Rock'? After all it is the most exquisitely solid choice.)	Muri „Ich hab schon Steine zerbrochen. Das überzeugt mich jetzt nicht.“ (I have already cracked rocks. I am not convinced.)
Mako „'Stein' nimmt die Form einer im Triumph erhobenen Faust an. Er ist Fundament. Er...“ ('Rock' takes on the form of a fist raised in triumph. It is foundation. It...)
Muri „Danke, reicht schon. Wenn das alle deine Argumente sind, dann bleibe ich bei Papier!“ (Thanks, that's enough. If those are all your arguments, then I'll stick with Paper!)	Mantaro „Ay? Ay? (Papier? Im Ernst?)“ (Ay? Ay? (Paper? Seriously?))
Muri „An Papier kann man sich fies schneiden! Und man kann üble Sachen drauf schreiben!“ (You can cut yourself badly on Paper! And you can write nasty things on it!)
	Mantaro „Ay. Ay! (Nein, 'Schere' ist am stärksten! Viel schärfer als Papier!)“ (Ay. Ay! (No, 'Scissors' are strongest! Much sharper than Paper!))
Mako „Nicht, wenn du die Schere nur mit deiner Hand machst. aber 'Stein' ist pure Kraft!“ (Not if you make the Scissors with your hand only. But 'Rock' is pure power!)
	Mantaro „Ay! (Aber mit den Fingern eine Schere zu machen ist ganz schön schwierig!)“ (Ay! (But making Scissors with your fingers is quite difficult!))
Mako „Hast du überhaupt Finger?“ (Do you even have fingers?)
	Mantaro „Ay! (Ich lasse mich von keiner Schwierigkeit aufhalten. Team Schere!)“ (Ay! (I don't let any difficulty stop me. Team Scissors!))

Mako „Mantaro, das macht überhaupt keinen Sinn. Gut gemacht, Team Stein! Ihr rockt!“ (Big Man, that makes no sense at all. Well done, Team Rock! You guys rock!)
Notes: The "Team Rock! You rock!" Pun may not have been on purpose, as "Stein" translating to "rock" and the phrase "you rock", which also exist in German, are purely coincidental.
Muri „Ihr wart auch nicht schlecht, Team Papier! Fast hätten wir sie zusammengefaltet!“ (You weren't bad either, Team Paper! We almost folded them!)	Mantaro „Ay! (Team Schere hat aber insgesamt auch gut abgeschnitten!)“ (Ay! (Team scissors, however, has also played well overall!))
Notes: "Gut abgeschnitten" means "well performed" but also has the word "geschnitten" in it, which means "cut".
Mako „Und damit ist die Splatfest World Premiere beendet. Danke an alle fürs Spielen!“ (And that concludes the Splatfest World Premiere. Thanks to everyone for playing!)	Muri „Ich bin schon gespannt auf das nächste Splatfest!“ (I'm already looking forward to the next Splatfest!)

Trivia

• Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors, as well as the Splatfests of the Splatoon 2 Splatfest World Premiere (Cake vs. Ice Cream and Rock vs. Pop), are the only Splatfests to last less than 24 hours.
  • However, it is only the third shortest Splatfest in the series, lasting for twelve hours instead of the previous Splatfests' four hours.
• This is the first Splatfest to feature three teams instead of two.
• Due to being available before the full release of Splatoon 3, there is no record of this Splatfest in SplatNet 3.
• This is the first global Splatfest in which Europe was able to participate first.
  • Japan started first in Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Blue/Green, Mayo vs. Ketchup (2017), Trick vs. Treat (2018), Family vs. Friends, and Hare vs. Tortoise.
  • North America and Oceania started first in Action vs. Comedy, Squid vs. Octopus (2018), Hero vs. Villain, and Knight vs. Wizard.
  • All regions started simultaneously in Fancy Party vs. Costume Party, Callie vs. Marie, Chaos vs. Order, Mayo vs. Ketchup (2020), Chicken vs. Egg (2020), Trick vs. Treat (2020), Super Mushroom vs. Super Star, and all subsequent Splatoon 3 Splatfests.
• This Splatfest took place on the same date as World Rock Paper Scissors Day. Whether or not this was intentional is unknown.
• While the theme was officially announced near the end of the Splatoon 3 Direct, the Jellyfish seen during the reveal of Anarchy Rainbow wore the Splatfest Tees depicting the teams.
• Team Paper in the Asia-Pacific region, along with Team Grub and Team Courage, are currently the only Splatfest teams in Splatoon 3 to get last place in every result category.
