(Moray Towers Was Not Available In The Poll)


There some other interesting facts that came up as well. Most players agree that abilities alongside how they look are important at a whopping 54%. Some players only cared for their abilities however (31%) while a few just want to look as fresh as possible (15%). When asked how they player, 64% of players say they focus on splatting enemy opponents where only 36% focus on spreading ink. People have joked about a Marie vs Callie Splatfest but how would the voting really turn out? The poll showed that 53% of fans prefer Marie over the 47% that chose Callie.

But most importantly, how much do players feel satisfied with Splatoon? The average player satisfaction rating was at 90%

0-69 points: 2%
70-79 points: 5%
80-89 points: 21%
90-99 points: 53%
100 points: 19%

That's all for the poll and its results! Anything particularily interesting here? Be sure to discuss in the comments below and don't forget to stay fresh!

Most of these results are pretty expected, though I'm surprised at the sub weapon results and how only 36% was focused on spreading ink. That would explain a lot of my teammates' underwhelming performances, though. I also like how approximately 8/9 of the voters were already Level 20, and it couldn't fit into the chart at all.

The most shocking results for me:
  • .92 Gal more popular than the .52 Gal Deco?
  • 73% inkling girl!? I knew she was popular, but wow...
  • Marie (slightly) more popular than Callie!?!???!

Yeah, wow, the fact that most fans didn't usually play shooter games before this is really impressive since it shows Nintendo had tapped into that market pretty much the right way. Though I agree with @ZypkerGaming that those who only focus on splatting foes are just going to give us a hard time.

Also, I guess Callie was just a bit too spicy a squid for the majority of voters. At least that also explains why Milk Tea won yesterday's Splatfest.

These results are unsurprising for the most part. What surprises me is that Gals and Forge/Splattershot Pros aren't the weapons that most favour over a weapon like Splattershot Jr.

When I see these stats I guess it's time to add a new level cap...

Overall very interesting stuff.

I'm surprised Bluefin depot was the least favorite...
And that Saltspray Rig wasn't in that group.
