Say Goodbye To Splatfests With This ‘Splatoon’ Spalshback Retrospect

As the final Splatfest came to a close, it was Team Marie who narrowly beat out Team Callie in both popularity and wins. With that final victory, it was time for Inklings around the world to say goodbye to one of the most enjoyable aspects of Splatoon, where players voted and fought for their favorite option between two choices in monthly competitions. Now that the dust has settled and all battles have been fought, it’s time to look back on the past year of contests and see how our choices stacked up.

With a feature that started with Team Dog vs. Team Cat, Splatfests grew to include some incredible crossovers that featured Autobots vs. Decepticons, Pokemon Red vs. Pokemon Blue, and SpongeBob vs. Patrick. Looking back, could any of us had predicted that an arena shooter made by a company that was as far removed from the genre as you could imagine would grow to be so popular?

For those keeping score, despite losing the final Splatfest, Team Callie came out on top overall, with nine wins versus Marie’s seven. That’s not to say there wasn’t a certain level of controversy throughout, considering the way scoring was tallied was changed a few times over the last year. With more popular teams having a harder time finding opponents to play against, they would often fight their own teammates while the opposite team would have more chances to build up wins. Still, Marie would go on to close a 7-2 lead to come within striking distance of coming out with more wins, although some would argue that the final Splatfest is all that matters. One way or another, no matter what side of the debate you’re on, I’m guessing we can all agree on one thing…

How often did the results go your way? Were you able to save up a ton of Super Sea Snails? And how are you going to go on with your life knowing there won’t be any Splatfests to look forward to? Look back on the last year of Splatoon in the video below and share your thoughts with us!
